The effect of enzymatically hydrolyzed vital wheat gluten (EHG) on dough mixing and the baking quality of wheat flour frozen dough was examined. Three different proteases, pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin, were tested individually, sequentially paired, or in combination of all three enzymes. Addition of 1% EHG produced no observable effect on the mixing properties of wheat flour dough. However, addition of 2.5% pepsin-hydrolyzed gluten decreased the mixing tolerance of the wheat flour, and 1% trypsin-hydrolyzed gluten increased the loaf volume of both frozen and non-frozen dough. This finding suggests that trypsin-hydrolyzed vital wheat gluten may serve as a baking additive in replacement for $KBrO_3$ to improve frozen dough quality.

The rheological properties of dough made the substitution of wheat flour(composite flour) at the levels of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% soymilk residue flour, with addition of vital wheat gluten at the levels of 3, 6 and 9% were investigated. And nutrition contents of soymilk residue flour were analyzed. The results were as follows; Principal components of soymilk residue flour were 22.0% crude protein, 13.2% crude lipid, 54.3% carbohydrate, 27.2% dietary fiber and $220{\mu}g/g$ isoflavones. Free amino acid component of soymilk residue were L-glutamic acid, L-leucine, L-lysine, L-valine, L-phenylalanine, L-isoleucine, L-threonine, L-methionine and L-cystine. Total dietary fiber content of bread with soymilk residue and wheat flour were 5% soymilk residue; 3.50%, 10% soymilk residues; 4.65%, 15% soymilk residues; 5.96%, and wheat flour bread: 2.1% respectively Mixing water absorption capacity was increased by increasing amounts of added soymilk residue and vital wheat gluten. Dough development time was increased by increasing amounts of added soymilk residues, while decreased by increasing amounts of vital wheat gluten. The dough volume of composite flour with 5%, 10% and 15% soymilk residue flour were the smaller than wheat flour dough. But the dough volume was increased by added vital wheat gluten, and the composite flour with 5% soymilk residue flour and 9% vital wheat gluten was better than the others. This study proved that the dough volume of composite flour with 5% soymilk residue flour and 9% vital wheat gluten was better than the others. On the other hand, the soymilk residue flour contains dietary fiber, isoflavone, protein, lipid and carbohydrate. Therefore the soymilk residue flour will be very useful as food material.

Frozen dough made by sponge and dough method using sweet dough formula was quickly frozen at $-40^{\circ}C$ and stored for 8 weeks at $-20^{\circ}C$. Effects of vital wheat gluten on number of yeast cells, bread volume, specific loaf volume, hardness, and sensory properties of bread were investigated. Dough added with 4% vital wheat gluten showed higher yeast cell survival rate during freeze storage and larger specific loaf volume than other doughs. Hardness value increased with increasing amount of vital wheat gluten added, whereas, in frozen dough stored more than 4 weeks, dough added with 2% vital wheat gluten showed lower hardness value than others. Bread made with 4% vital wheat gluten showed highest sensory score.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of wheat gluten on quality characteristics of white pan bread with 10% resistant starch. White pan bread was fortified with wheat gluten at levels of 2%, 4% and 6% w/w. The pH of dough and white pan bread, specific loaf volume, water activity, baking loss rate, crumb color, hardness, and sensory evaluation were analyzed for quality characteristics. The pH of processed dough and white pan bread with additional vital wheat gluten was lower than that of control, and pH increased with increasing wheat gluten content. Water activity was lower in white pan bread with added vital wheat gluten than in the control, however there were no significant differences. Specific loaf volume revealed a higher value in tests than in the control, and the products revealed a higher specific loaf volume with higher amounts of vital wheat gluten. However, the baking loss rate decreased with increasing wheat gluten content. In terms of crumb color analysis, L, a, and b values lowered with increasing wheat gluten. Hardness appeared to be lower in tests than in the control, and the test with 6% wheat gluten showed the lowest value among the products. In a sensory evaluation, the product with 4% wheat gluten revealed the highest score. As a result of this study, 4% wheat gluten is considered to be the reasonable level in preparing white pan bread with 10% resistant starch.

Dry vital wheat gluten was prepared by atmospheric hot air drying of wet gluten blended with salt and acid. Products of good quality were obtained over a wide range of conditions, as shown by dough expansion, nitrogen solubility, rehydration test, and easinass of smashing and drying after blending. Gluten of good quality was produced by atmospheric hot air drying at $60^{\circ}C$, after blending wet gluten with salt in the range of 5 to 10% and acid, preferably, hydrochloric, at 0.12%.

The breadmaking characteristics of composite flour containing 30% of buckwheat and 70% of wheat with the addition of vital wheat gluten and water-soluble gums, were studied to establish the optimum formula for the development of buckwheat bread. The addition of vital wheat gluten or/and gums led to successful formation of buckwheat bread, giving loaf volume increase and improvement of sensory quality, especially texture determined by QDA (Quantitative Descriptive Analysis). Among those additives, xanthan gum showed the best volume expansion. Synergistic effects on bread quality were observed when the vital wheat gluten and xanthan gum or guar gum were used together. As buckwheat flour was substituted for wheat flour, gelatinization started early and the maximum viscosity increased measured by an amylography. The addition of gluten and gums caused the initial gelatinization to occur at a higher temperature and maximum viscosity to decrease.

The rheological properties of dough made from composite flour containing 30% of buckwheat flour with 80% of extraction rate and 70% of wheat flour, with addition of vital wheat gluten and/or gums, were studied for the development of buckwheat bread. From the farinograph data, water absorption, development time, and stability of the dough decreased as the amount of buckwheat flour increased. However, the addition of gluten increased the water absorption and development time but decreased the weakness of the dough. The use of xanthan gum showed a stability-increasing effect. From the extensograph data, extension and strength of the dough decreased with increasing amount of buckwheat flour, but resistance to extension increased. The addition of gluten increased the extension and strength of the dough, but decreased the resistance to extension. Guar and xanthan gum added at 0.2% level had little effect on extensograph data of the dough. Overall, addition of, vital wheat gluten improved the properties of buckwheat bread dough better than water-soluble gums.

The effects of adding additives such as vital gluten, gum, emulsifier, and enzyme to rice flour on baking quality were examined. The effects of different gums on the pasting and dough properties of rice flour containing vital gluten were studied using a Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA) and a Brabender farinograph. The RVA peak, breakdown, and final viscosities decreased with the addition of gums, while setback viscosity increased. The farinogram showed that rice flour supplemented with gums such as tara gum, guar gum, and locust bean gum (LBG) increased water absorption and dough stability, yielding strengthened dough similar to wheat flour dough. The addition of guar or tara gum/sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL)/fungal $\alpha$-amylase (AMYL) or glucose oxidase (GO) blend improved the volume and reduced the crumb firmness of rice bread prepared from rice flour containing 14% vital gluten. Therefore, the combined addition of gum, emulsifier and enzyme into rice flour significantly improved the rice bread quality, allowing the decrease of the vital gluten level in rice bread formula.

Medium components for lactic acid production were optimized with a strain of Lactobacillus sp., isolated by our Lab. Nitrogen source was the key component and manganese ion was also important for lactic acid production in this strain. Optimal concentration of manganese ion was 0.03 g/l as MnSO$_{4}$ 4 - 5 H$_{2}$O base. Other mineral elements, however, had little effect on it. Among the nitrogen sources we examined, yeast extract showed the highest productivity. Yeast extract, the exellent but very expensive medium component, could be partially replaced by soytone until 60% dry base with higher productivity, or by tryptone enforced with vitamines and nucleic acids. In order to replace yeast extract completely, we examined several inexpensive nitrogen sources and their enzymatic hydrolyzates. The hydrolyzate of vital wheat gluten was the best of them.

When the soybean milk residue flour were added to the respective wheat flour at level of 5%, 10% and 15% the possibility of bread making were studied. Vital gluten was added to the soybean milk residue portion of a 10% composite flour at levels of 3%, 6% and 9% to improve bread quality. And test was baking properties of soybean milk residue composite flour and sensory evaluation of composite breads. Major components of soybean milk residue flour were crude protein, 22.0%; crude lipid, 13.2%; carbohydrate, 54.3%; and dietary fiber, 27.2%. When 5%, 10% and 15% soybean milk residue flour was blended with wheat flour, water absorption, development time and bread weight were increased, and volume of dough and loaf was decreased. But improved bread-making properties by adding gluten. Color of crumb got darker as the percentage of soybean milk residue flour increased, got brighter when gluten was added. Texture of bread increased in chewiness and hardness as the percentage soybean milk residue flour increased but not different in cohesiveness. The use of vital gluten showed influence to springiness, chewiness and hardness. The sensory evaluation showed that 5% soybean milk residue-wheat bread was similar to bread made from wheat flour in overall acceptability. And the bread made by miting gluten were better than 10% soybean milk residue-wheat bread in overall acceptability.
