To evaluate the processing adaptability of taro flours, the physicochemical properties of taro flour with different drying, roasting and steaming conditions were investigated. The moisture content and total dietary fiber were decreased as temperature increased with hot-air drying. Freeze-dried taro flours showed the highest vitamin C contents. Taro flours made by freeze-drying and hot-air drying showed significantly higher total dietary fiber content than those with roasting and steaming process. Steamed taro flours had the highest water absorption index, while hot-air dried and freeze dried taro flours had the highest water solubility index. No differences were displayed in the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermal characteristics among hot-air dried and freeze dried taro flours. Roasted taro displayed decreased onset temperature and peak temperature as roasting temperature increased. Using a rapid visco-analyzer, the peak viscosity, through viscosity, and final viscosity of dried and steamed taro flours were higher than roasted taro flours, whereas the set back value, which is a prediction of retrogradation, decreased with steaming processing. From those results, it could be concluded that hotair dried taro flours, which have high gelatinization viscosity, are beneficial in imparting viscosity to dough products and hot-air drying after steaming taro flours, which retard retrogradation, is good for porridge and flake base products.

In this study, enzymes were investigated as an antistaling agent for a Korean rice cake. Thermograms by a DSC demonstrated that the gelatinization-onset temperature of the Korean rice cake was at its lowest temperature of 71.1$^{\circ}C$ with the GP (glucoamylase+pullulanase) treatment, followed by $\beta$-amylase and $\alpha$-amylase. The gelatinization peak temperature of the Korean rice cake with enzyme treatment was relatively lower compared to the control. Furthermore, the Korean rice cake with GP treatment showed the lowest peak temperature. Melting enthalpy of the Korean rice cake increased with the enzyme treatment, with $\beta$-amylase, followed by $\alpha$-amylase and GP. Melting enthalpy of the Korean rice cake with GP treatment was significantly lower compared to the $\beta$- and $\alpha$-amylase treatment. Recrystallinity in the case of GP treatment was also significantly lower than control. The range of Avrami exponent (n) was 0.90 ∼ 1.20 and the time constant of retrogradation (1/k) of the Korean rice cake crystalline decreased in the following order: GP, $\beta$-, $\alpha$ -amylase and control. Textural characteristics of the Korean rice cake with enzyme treatment differed greatly from that of control. The L＊ values of all the Korean rice cakes made without $\beta$-amylase decreased and the a＊ values were significantly different at p<0.05. The GP treatment altered the b＊ value toward blue color, whereas $\beta$-and $\alpha$-amylase changed to the direction to yellow color. In sensory evaluation, the Korean rice cake with enzyme treatment showed higher evaluation compared to control.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dextrinization methods (dry oven and roaster) and the ratio of dextrinized rice on the quality of Backsulgi during storage. The moisture content significantly increased with increasing the amount of dextrinized rice regardless of dextrinization methods. As the ratio of dextrinized rice increased, the L value of the Backsulgi decreased, but the a and b values increased. The a and b values of dry oven method were higher than those of roaster method due to their thermal denaturalization. However, there were no significant pattern's change in sample's colors during storage. In the texture profiles, the hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness significantly decreased with increasing the amount of dextrinized rice depending on the dextrinization methods and the ratios. The time constant (1/k) of the Backsulgi with dextrinized rice comparatively higher than that of control and appeared to be the highest in the Backsulgi formulated by 100% of dextrinized rice. In the sensory evaluation, Backsulgi with dextrinized rice over 30% after 1day storage showed higher value in overall quality and lower value in hardness than control. The addition of 30% dextrinized rice made by roaster showed the most effective on the quality and retrogradation of Backsulgi.

Colored rice (Suwon 45) flour was evaluated as a bread flour by the addition of 10% gluten on 3% hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose to check the processing adaptability. Both of these additives led to a successful formation of rice bread. Textural characteristics of colored rice bread crumb baked with 3% hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose revealed lower hardness and chewiness, however, the one with 10% gluten revealed the higher springiness. The retrogradation of colored rice bread during storage was not significantly different from that of wheat bread. Sensory evaluation showed that the crumb texture of bread baked with 3% hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose had softer texture and poor distribution of air-pore size but its springiness was not significantly different from that of wheat bread.

The effects of ultra-fine pulverization on the physicochemical properties of rice starch (RS) were investigated using a high impact planetary mill. After pulverization, RVA characteristics, peak viscosity, break down, and set back values of RS decreased from 274.75 to 9.42 RVU, 214.46 to 6.17 RVU, and 87.80 to 17.00 RVU, respectively. The pasting properties also changed significantly. X-Ray diffractogram revealed RS had four A-type peaks, which disappeared after pulverization. The peak temperature and gelatinization enthalpy of RS using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were 13.99 J/g at $75.14^{\circ}C$, whereas the pulverized RS (PRS) had two peaks, 0.13 J/g at $63.88^{\circ}C$ and 1.23 J/g at $101.24^{\circ}C$. DSC measurement showed the retrogradation degree of PRS was lower than that of RS after storage at 4 and $25^{\circ}C$. The enzymatic (${\alpha}$-amylase) digestibilities of RS and PRS were 72.7 and 77.3%, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of garlic powder on medium and cake flours using falling number and RVA tests, as well as alveograms and farinograms. The garlic powder was added to the medium and cake flour bases at 2 and 4%, respectively. Falling numbers increased with the addition of garlic powder. The peak viscosity of the medium flour containing 2% garlic powder was highest while that made with 4% garlic powder showed a decrease in peak viscosity. The addition of garlic powder increased the set-back value, thus the garlic powder did not have an anti-retrogradation effect. The alveographic P values of the treatment were lower than that of the control, but the L value was not significantly different. On the farinogram, water absorption was decreased in the flours containing garlic powder and development time was increased. In conclusion, the addition of 2% garlic powder is recommended to improve the volume and stability of cake.

In order to increase the use of waxy barley, cakes were made and the textural and sensory properties were investigated. The moisture content of cakes made out of waxy barley grain and flour were 51.0 and 52.1%, respectively. L values in color of the waxy barley cakes tended to decrease during 3 day storage at 15$^{\circ}C$. Textural analysis showed that there were no differences among two waxy barley and waxy rice cakes in hardness at fresh state. But after 3 day storage at 15$^{\circ}C$, the hardness of the waxy barley cake was lower than that of waxy rice cake. These results implied that the degree of retrogradation of waxy barley cake might be low due to its high dietary fiber content. The hardness and adhesiveness of the waxy barley cake thawed after 15 day freezing were not significantly different from those of the fresh cake. In sensory evaluation, the overall preference of waxy barley cake was lower than that of waxy rice, but the sensory score of the cake made of waxy baley flour was above 4 point in the 5 point scale, showing a patency of waxy barley for the cakes.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of bread prepared with spirulina powder (0, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2%). The volume and specific volume of bread decreased with increasing spirulina powder content. The pH of the bread with 1.2% spirulina powder was the highest. Content of phycocyanin increased with addition of spirulina powder. For color values, increasing spirulina powder content resulted in decreased lightness, redness, and yellowness in the crust. Amylogram showed that spirulina addition increased initial gelatinization temperature, decreased breakdown, and lowered the setback and consistency, which prevented retrogradation. Moreover, the hardness of spirulina bread decreased as spirulina addition increased. Further, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness. and resilience of bread with 0.8% spirulina powder were the lowest. Sensory results showed that the scores of overall preference and buying intention in the bread with 0.8% spirulina were the highest among the control and other groups.

This study investigated quality characteristics of pan breads prepared with 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% purple rice flour and naturally fermented blueberry-rice starters. RVA (Rapid Visco Analyzer) analysis showed that wheat flour retrogradation was not retarded by addition of purple rice flour. Using amylography, gelatinization tem. perature of purple rice flour samples was higher than that of the control, whereas maximum viscosity temperature. and maximum viscosity of purple rice flour samples were lower than those of the control. Weights of pan breads containing purple rice flour were lower than that of the control, whereas volume, specific volume and baking loss rate were higher than those of the control. The anthocyanin contents and antioxidative activites as measured by DPPH radical scavenging activity of breads increased as the concentration of purple rice flour increased. The moisture content of pan breads containing purple rice flour decreased as storage time increased. The pH of breads containing purple rice flour was higher than that of the control. Color L value decreased, whereas a and b values increased significantly, as storage time increased. In texture analyzer measurement, hardness of breads containing purple rice flour significantly increased as storage time increased. Breads containing 10~20% purple rice flour showed acceptable sensory properties, such as mouth feel, appearance, flavor, texture, taste and overall acceptability.
