To establish the optimum formular for processing bread with steam-dried Hizikia fusiformis flour(SHF), it was incorporated into wheat flour by the ratio of 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7% based on a flour weight. Evaluation was performed on the rheological and sensory profile of bread, such as specific loaf volume, water holding capacity(WHC) and height, appearance and Hunter's color value, mechanical texture properties, and sensory value. Increase in the addition of SHF led to the tendency that the expansive force of dough fermentation reduced, and an increase in the textural properties of bread. And cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness indicated the tendency of a little reduction as influenced by adding more dried Hizikia fusiformis powder. As for sensory properties and flavor components of the white bread, in case of color and flavor, more than 3% of increase in the addition of the dried Hizikia fusiformis powder led to a drop in preference, and more addition led to a fall in taste and softness. Overall, it was found that adding less than 3% of dried Hizikia fusiformis powder is proper for dough in breadmaking.

Buckwheat flour was incorporated into steamed breads by adding the flour in the range of 0~9% based on the Baker's percentages and the physicochemical properties and consumer acceptance were investigated. After mixing, kneading, proofing, and molding, bread dough was steamed for 15 min using a steam tray and boiling water. The samples were cooled to room temperature for 15 min and packed in airtight bags for further analyses. pH of the steamed bread decreased slightly while titratable acidity increased significantly from 1.02 to 1.37 mL with the incorporation of more buckwheat flour in the formulation (p<0.05). Water activity was not affected by the buckwheat flour level (p>0.05). Moisture content slightly decreased from 43.72 to 42.30% while soluble solids content increased from 0.63 to 0.85 as the buckwheat flour concentration increased. As a result of the addition of buckwheat flour, the specific volume decreased from 3.31 to 2.57 mL/g; on the other hand, the spread ratio ranged from 2.17 to 2.21 without significant differences among them (p>0.05). At the higher level of buckwheat content, lower scores of all color parameters ($L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$-values) were observed. Firmness increased significantly with an increase in buckwheat flour content (p<0.05). Consumer acceptance tests indicated that incorporation of up to 3% buckwheat flour in the formulation of steamed breads did not significantly influence the consumers' acceptability in all attributes tested, except for color and elasticity.

Two of the Hard White Winter (HWW) wheats had higher farina yield than mixed Hard Red Winter (HRW) wheat. Optimum steaming time for HRW farina spaghetti was 3min under 86-98$^{\circ}C$. Optimum cooking time decreased after steam treatment. Steam treated spaghetti showed much higher strength of dried spaghetti, lower cooking loss, and cooked weight, less stickiness, and total organic matters (TOM) value than in treated spaghetti after cooking. The rooking qualities except stickiness were significantly different between treated and untreated steam. The quality of hard wheat farina spaghetti was more affected than that of durum spaghetti after steam treatment. HWW farina spaghetti im-roved all the qualities of steam treated and untreated spaghetti than those of HRW farina spaghetti except stickiness. From the observations of scanning electron microscope (SEM), maybe two general principles of steaming can be explained by : i) forming hydrophobic protein film on surface of pasta, ii) higher retrogradation of starch, which cause less swelling of starch.

Increased consumption of a polysaccharide, ${\beta}$-glucans, in foods may prevent health related problems such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. ${\beta}$-glucans is a fibrous polysaccharide having proven both functional and medicinal properties. Recently, the FDA recommends the consumption of oat or oat products containing a total of at least 3 grams of bea-glucans per day for health improvement. The content of ${\beta}$-glucans in barley was almost four times higher than that in oat. In this study, the physicochemical and sensory characteristics and biological properties of steamed barley bread added with ramie leaf powder was investigated. The study of sensory characteristics was performed using the Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA). 30 panelists were selected among our university students. They then evaluated the different sensory characteristics, such as overall preference, color, flavor, chewiness, moistness and taste. The color and texture analyses were determined using a colorimeter and texture analyser, respectively. In the sensory, color and texture evaluation, barley bread with ramie leaf showed higher values than barley bread and wheat bread did. The physiological activities were investigated through the total phenol content and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging activity. Hence, barley appears to be a suitable food resource for making bread. This study suggests that barley bread added with ramie leaf can be used as one of the processing methods in promoting the consumption of barley. It might also help with the improvement of barley food industry.
