To investigate the effect of flour brew with bifidobacteria on bread characteristics, flour brew with bifidobacteria was added to baking after 16 hour incubation at 37oC. The more addition of flour brew, the higher gassing power, the better machinality of dough were obtained, resulting in the larger specific volume of bread. Flavor profile analyzed by Electronic Nose System showed that flavor components of 30% flour brew were decreased comparing with those of control and there was shown definite difference in sensory characteristics between them. Staling studies of bread containing flour brew indicated had a definite effect in retarding the staling rate of bread, with time constant calculated in 30% treatment being 3.09 days and in control being 2.08 days. The enthalphy of gelatinization was decreased from 2.51J/g to 0.61J/g with increment of flour brew, suggesting that starch crystallization is delayed. conclusion, Flour brew fermented by bifidobacteria can be used as a natural bread improver with so many benefits as better machinality, one more day storage period, slower staling rate, better bread volume and more appealing bread flavor.

To investigate the effect of sourdough on the quality characteristics of barley bread, sourdough starlet with Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus sanfrancisco and Enterococcus mundtii was used for baking after 48 hours incubation at 37$\^{C}$. The specific volume of the bread containing sourdough starter was greater than that the control. Retarding of the firmness was observed in the bread with Lactobacillus sanfrancisco compared with the control and other breads. Above results suggest that sourdough starter fermented by Lactobacillus can be used as natural bread improver.
