Effects of changes in the margarine content and the number of layers of the puff pastry on the color, hardness, and hardness change during storage of the final products were investigated. At equal content of pastry margarine, the lightness of the crust decreased slightly as the number of layers increased. Redness of the puff pastry with 70% margarine content and 81 layers was $16.8{\pm}2.3$ and yellowness of puff pastry with 70% margarine content and 256 layers was 26. No significant differences were observed in the crumb change of the samples. The puff pastry with 90% margarine content and 144 layers showed the lowest hardness of $839.6{\pm}75.6g$. Hardness of the products storage period increased significantly as the number of layers increased at equal pastry margarine content, whereas with same number of layers, decreased gradually as pastry margarine content increased. Results of the sensory evaluation reveal that the puff pastry with 90% margarine content and 144 layers was better than other samples. These results show the important of selecting the optimum number of layers during the manufacturing process to obtain the optimum condition for the mouthfeeling, flavor and overall acceptability of final products.

We investigated the effects of the amount of margarine and the number of layers on moisture content, baking loss, volume, hardness, maximum weight, and vapor action of the Danish pastry. The moisture content of Danish pastry increased slightly with the amount of margarine, as did the number of layers. The moisture content for a certain number of layers decreased as the amount of margarine increased. The baking loss with a fixed amount of margarine varied inversely with the number of layers, while the loss with a given number of layers decreased in proportion with the margarine content. The maximum volume of Danish pastry was obtained with 30% margarine-18 layers, 50%-27 layers, 70%-36 layers, 90%-48 layers and 110%-48 layers. The hardness and maximum weight of Danish pastry also varied inversely with the margarine content for a given number of layers, and decreased at a same margarine content when the number of layers increased. The maximum volume of the Danish pastry was obtained when vapor action was 9-16mm and 17-24mm. The optimal vapor action was in the range 9-24mm. In this range, the volume of the pastry was proportional to the vapor action.

The contents of the pastry margarine were 30, 50, 70, 90 and 110% based on baker's %, and the layers of the dough were 18, 27, 36, 48 and 64 in danish pastry product In order to analyse on the effect of the theoretical one layer thickness of the pastry margarine, the volume, quality and sensory evaluation of the products have been carried out. The results as follows ; 1) Best volume was showed that the thickness of the dough was 5mm and the thickness of one layer was 0.039mm. 2) When the content of the pastry margarine was 30% and the thickness of one layer was 0.014mm(48 layers), when 50%, 0.039mm(27 layers), when 70%, 0.038(36 layers), when 90%, 0.034(48 layers) and when 110%, 0.039(48 layers), best volume was showed. 3) In the case when the content of pastry margarine was 70% and the thickness of one layer was 0.038mm(36 layers), as well as 110%, 0.039mm(48 layers), the taste were showed 5%, better than when 30%, 0.014(27 layers) in the sensory evaluation. Flavor and mouth feel was the same results. 4) For the best quality products, the content of the pastry margarine and the layers of the dough were very important.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of pastry margarine content and number of layers on moisture content, baking loss, specific loaf volume and the vapor action in the manufacturing process of puff pastry. As the number of layers of the puff pastry increased the moisture content of the products slightly increased. And the moisture contents of the products decreased, as the pastry margarine contents of the puff pastry increased in the same number of layers. The baking loss of the products tended to decrease as the number of layers increased. On the other hand, as the pastry margarine contents of the puff pastry increased, the baking loss of the product increased. When the pastry margarine content in puff pastries became 130%, 81 layers provided the maximum specific loaf volumes $21.62{\pm}0.79\;ml/g$ of puff pastries. When 110% of margarine and 256 layers were applied for preparation of puff pastry, the number of vapor action was $8.25{\pm}0.50$ with the vapor action size of 9-15 mm.

This study is carried out to investigate the effect of any periods in the freezer and the product of value, moisture content, baking loss, specific volume loaf in manufncturing process thereof. The moisture content of the croissant slightly decreased as the periods passed in the freezer. And as passed periods frozen croissant dough dried naturally by the freezer fan. 1. As frozen periods passed croissant dough decreased moisture content and loaf volume. The volume is relation to the molsture content and croissant dough' gluten. Yeast is active but croissant dough is dried so pastry margarine's moisture vaporized little by little. 2. 1 day frozen bench time provided maximum specific loaf volume while croissant shape was unsettled, moisture content was highest. At the same dough croissant hardness had very sofi crust. 3. 1week and 2weets frozen dough had specific loaf volume and hardness with proper crust color. As the proper bench time provided best shape of croissant, color. 4. 4weeks and 8weeks frozen dough had over-al] value of croissant accelerating older product. As the same result, over Sweets frozen periods product were not available for sale and serving to customers. 5. By the sensory evaluation tests, over-all croissant as 1 week, 2weeks were significantly higher quality those than 6. 1day, 4weeks and 8weeks. Textural properties of croissant over 4weeks frozen periods so hard for every panel. According to the study, not croissant dough but also any other frozen dough(ex.Danish, brioche etc.)have to need proper bench time and 1week or 2weeks circulation making method have to given encouragement to practical pastry industry. Add to this study using only for frozen dough yeast instead of using fresh and instant
