This study was carried out to establish methods for irradiation detection of irradiation in Korean wheat flour by pulsed photostimulated luminescence (PPSL) and viscometric methods. The photon counts of the irradiated Korean wheat flour measured by PPSL immediately after irradiation increased with increasing irradiation dose. The photon counts in the irradiated Korean wheat flour almost disappeared with lapse of time after storage in normal room conditions, but irradiation detection was still possible after 6 months in darkroom conditions. All irradiated samples indicated a decrease in viscosity with increasing stirring speeds (rpm) and irradiation doses. Irradiation at 1 kGy significantly decreased the viscosity. Consequently, these results suggest that the detection of irradiated Korean wheat powder is possible by both viscometric and PPSL methods.

A study was conducted on the preparation of Ramyon using composite flours of raked barley (20 or 30%)-wheat(80 or 70%) in commercial plant scale and on the quality evaluation of Ramyon made from those flours. The naked barley(20%)-wheat(80%) flour gave acceptable Ramyon-making characteristics during the continuous Ramyon manufacturing process. The composite flours had a higher water absorption rate in kneading process and oil absorption value of the Ramyon product than those of wheat flour alone. Even though the Ramyon of composite flours showed a little inferior value compared with wheat flour alone in the cooking and texture characteristics, sensory panel scores of Ramyon indicated that the naked barley (20%)-wheat(80%) flour was acceptable in Ramyon.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the producing conditions of organic acid and saccarifing amylase in Koji culture by Asp. usamii shirousamii $U_2$. The results were as follows. 1. When the strain $U_2$ was incubated at $30^{\circ}C$, for 3 days in wheat flour and wheat bran media, the organic acid production was maximum. In the case of incubation at $35^{\circ}C$, for 3 days in wheat flour medium and at $35^{\circ}C$, for 2 days in wheat bran medium the activity of saccharifing amylase was highest. 2. When water was added 60% to wheat flour and 50% to wheat bran in the case of 3 days incubation, the organic acid production was superior. Both in wheat flour and wheat bran media, the saccharifing amylase production was most highly, when water was added 90-100%. 3. Comparatively speaking, the organic acid production was better in wheat flour medium than wheat bran medium, but the activity of saccharifing amylase was higher in wheat bran medium. 4. When the sweet potato starch waste and the wheat flour were mixed with same amount, the organic acid and saccharifing amylase production were higher than in simple wheat flour medium. 5. In the medium of sweet potato starch waste the organic acid and saccharifing amylase production were low extremely. 6. In the case of incubation at $30^{\circ}C$, 3 days in wheat flour medium admixed with 60% water, the amount of citric acid in the organic acid formed was about 91%.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of wheat germ on medium flour using falling number and RVA tests, as well as farinogram and rheofermentometer analyses. The wheat germ was added to the medium flour on a 3, 5, and 7% basis. Falling numbers increased with increasing amounts of wheat germ. Analysis of the RVA characteristics showed that the wheat germ additions did not have significant effects on the initial pasting temperature. In the farinogram, water absorption decreased with an increasing amount of wheat germ. Also, development time was longest in the control group and shortest in the group with the highest addition of wheat germ. The results of the effects of added wheat germ on fermentation by rheofermentometer analysis showed that the H'm value reached a maximum height at 3%. Finally, the volume of $CO_2$ lost was increased whereas the retention coefficient was decreased.

The effects of transglutaminase (TG) on the pasting and rheological properties of different wheat cultivars ('Sharpshooter', 'Russ', and 'AcAriss') blended with barley (40%) or soy (20%) flour were investigated. In the rapid visco-analyzer (RVA) pasting profile, the addition of barley or soy flour to wheat flour samples induced a decrease in peak, trough, final viscosity, breakdown and setback values. However, TG treatment of these blends significantly increased peak viscosity and breakdown (p<0.05). In particular, TG treatment greatly increased the breakdown of wheat flour blended with soy flour, indicating that the cross-linking of proteins through TG may somehow be related to an increase in starch granule rupturing in pastes. Storage (G') and loss (G") moduli of the sample pastes increased with an increase in frequency ($\omega$), while complex viscosity (${\eta}*$) decreased. In all wheat cultivars, G', G", and $\eta$ were decreased by the addition of barley or soy flour, or TG treatment. Results suggest that protein cross-linking by TG can produce unique and improved properties in wheat flours blended with barley or soy flour.

The use of wheat flour in Korea in 1986 and 1987 was surveyed. A brief outline of wheat flour milling industry was also included. Since the overall trend in flour usage in 1986 and 1987 was similar, the data in 1986 were presented. Total sales volume of wheat flour was 1,556,891M/T, of which 51.1% was sold to wholesale agents and the remainder to commercial users. The main usages of flour were noodle-making, baking, brewing and common use including home use, retailer and supermarket. The first and second class of all-purpose flour were used for noodle-making and brewing. Bread was produced with the first class of strong flour. For confectionery the first class of all-purpose flour was mainly used.

Five types of determination methods including the Soxhlet method as well as 3 kinds of extraction solvents, were used for the determination of accurate crude fat contents in wheat flour and 5 kinds of dry noodles. According to the results, crude fat contents were 0.09~1.37% in the wheat flour and 0.07~1.36% in the dry noodle samples. This variation resulted from the types of lipids in the wheat flour and various kinds of dry noodles. Nutrition facts labels showing crude fat contents in the 5 kinds of domestic dry noodle samples indicated levels of 0~1.5%. Lipid composition and content were determined in order to investigate these differences. The results indicated free lipid at 1.02% and bound lipids at 0.21% in the wheat flour, and free lipids at 0.95~1.01% and bound lipid at 0.21~0.25% in the wheat flour. Polar and nonpolar lipid contents were also measured in all samples. Neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid contents in the free lipid were 58.5%, 33.6%, and 8.6% in the wheat flour, and 49.2~58.2%, 33.3~41.6%, and 8.5~9.3% in the dry noodle samples, respectively. For bound lipids, amounts were 16.7%, 33.5%, and 49.5% in the wheat flour, and 13.2~15.3%, 35.6~45.7%, and 41.6~49.4% in the dry noodle samples, respectively. Based on these results, an acid hydrolysis methods should be used to determine accurate crude fat contents in wheat flour and dry noodles.

Rheological properties of dough made from waxy barley(Iri28) flour wheat flour mixtures with additives were investigated for the preparation of waxy barley bread using farinograph, extensograph and amy lograph. The water absorption, development time and dough weakness increased as the waxy barley flour level increased in all blends; however, dough stability decreased. Farinogram properties of 10% waxy barley flour added mixture were similar to those of 100% wheat flour. The addition of A.A(ascorbic acid), gluten, HPMC(hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose) improved rheological properties of dough with 30% waxy barley flour added mixture. In particular, stability and weakness of the dough showed greater dough improving effect by addition of A.A. For the extensograph data, strength, resistance and extensibility of dough decreased with increasing level of waxy barley flour. With the addition of additives, extensogram properties were variable for 30% waxy barley flour mixture. Of these additives, gluten had highest value in strength of dough. Addition of A.A and HPMC to 30% waxy barley flour added mixture resulted in an increase in the resistance and a decrease in the extensibility. Waxy barley flour added mixtures showed little higher gelatinization temperature on amylograph data than control. Maximum viscosity reduced as the waxy barley flour level increased. Also 30% waxy barley flour added mixture containing A.A and HPMC showed a decrease in maximum viscosity. But addition of gluten to 30% waxy barley flour mixture resulted an increase in the maximum viscosity. All of 30% waxy barley flour added mixture with additives had lower gelatinization temperature than those without additives. In the SEM images, starch granules were dispersed in a protein matrix. A non continuous, loose protein starch matrix was observed in all waxy barley flour mixture by SEM. Addition of additives gave the dough a more continuous structure with interactions between the starch granule and protein component.

This study was to investigate the effect of lipoxygenase on the mechanical development of wheat flour doughs. The flour mixtures used for experiments were 100% wheat flour $(S_1)$, 90% wheat flour and 10% raw soy flour $(S_2)$, 90% wheat flour and 10% toasted soy flour $(S_3)$, and 90% wheat flour and 10% toasted soy flour with the addition of lipoxygenase preparation $(S_4)$. When flour mixtures were compared with control $(S_1)$, $S_2$ demonstrated lower water absorption, lower mixing talerance index (MTI) and lower dough weakening and increased dough development time, whereas $S_3$ showed higher water absorption, lower MTI, lower dough weakening and the same dough development time. The addition of lipoxygenase to $S_3$ $(S_4)$ resulted in the same water absorption, longer dough development time, lower MTI and love dough weakening than those of $S_3$, which were comparable with $S_2$. Percent water absorption of flours, obtained from extensograph, was highest in $S_3$ and lowest in $S_2$. Addition of both raw and toasted soy flour to wheat flour resulted in an increased energy, $S_4$ demonstrated higher extensibility and lower resistance to extension than $S_3$, and those values of $S_4$ were comparable with $S_2$. The experimental data obtained from this study suggested that soy flour mixtures containing lipoxygenase had better mechanical dough properties than toasted soy flour mixture without lipoxygenase.

To develop dough methods for improving bread making properties of Korean wheat flour, straight dough methods (SDM) and dough and sponge methods (DSM) were applied. The bread making properties such as weight of bread, specific volume, baking loss, crumb color, and texture were analyzed. In comparison of flour properties between Korean wheat flour and imported wheat flour by Farinograph, Korean wheat flour showed less gluten network form ability than imported wheat flour. The dough making method affected bread quality such as weight of bread, specific volume, and baking loss. SDM had a more desirable effect on bread quality. Crumb color was lighter in bread made with Korean wheat flour compared to imported wheat flour, whereas dough making method did not affect crumb color. In consumer acceptance analysis, bread made by DSM showed higher consumer acceptance than that made by SDM. Regarding physicochemical changes during storage, bread made by SDM using Korean wheat flour showed higher chewiness, brittleness, and hardness than that made by imported wheat flour. However, bread made by DSM showed similar chewiness as bread made by SDM using imported wheat flour. The bread making properties of bread made by DSM is improved versus that of bread made with Korean wheat flour.
