This study was carried out to examine the effects of wheat flour ferment cultured by Lactobacillus acidophilus on the physical characteristics of cooked noodle. Different scanning calorimeter(DSC) analysis results for noodle gelatinization showed that the noodles containing flour ferment had higher enthalphy values than the control noodle. And based on the degree of retrogradation for the noodles containing the flour ferment, enthalpy decreased as the amount of the ferment increased, resulting in the delay effect on the retrogradation. According to textural property evaluations over a storage period, the noodles containing the flour ferment had increases in hardness and cohesiveness, and the springiness of the control group was higher than that of the noodles containing the flour ferment; however, this difference between groups gradually disappeared with increasing storage time. Finally, the noodles containing 10% flour ferment had a higher overall preference score than the control group, indicating that the addition of the flour ferment during noodle production can have a beneficial effect on the preference.

Practical use of wheat flour ferment with L. acidophilus during noodlemanufacturing was investigated. Water absorption decreased and overall mechanical tolerance index increased with ferment addition up to 20%. Amylograph of flour with ferment showed initial gelatinization temperatures of control, and 5% ferment-and ferment-added groups were equal. Maximum viscosity decreased by ferment addition. L, b and a values of dough increased proportionally with added ferment. Color of doughs with ferment was generally ligher. Total color difference of doughs added with ferment was higher than that of control group.

The principal objective of this study was to determine the effects of wheat flour ferment cultured with Lactobacillus acidophilus, specifically with regard to the preservation of noodles. The results showed that the addition of ferment to wheat flour during noodle preparation reduced the pH of the noodles, and no significant difference was observed in the L and ${\Delta}E$ values of the noodles adding 5% ferment. Total bacterial levels were decreased in the wet noodles to which more than 10% ferment was added, by a factor of log $10^3$ as compared to the levels seen in the control during storage. Deterioration became apparent at 4 days of storage in regular wet noodles, but did not occur until 6 days in the wet noodles to which 5% ferment was added, and not until 8 days of storage in the noodles to which 10% ferment was added. Cooked noodles deteriorated at 8 days after the beginning of storage, but the addition of 5% and 10% ferment extended that time to 12 days and 14 days, respectively. It was concluded that flour ferment cultured with L. acidophilus exerts favorable preservation effects on noodles and breads.

This study was carried out to investigate the components of organic acids and flavour in flour ferment composed of water, flour, seed mash, yeast and lactic acid bacteria. The pH and TTA in the control (flour ferment without seed mash and lactic bacteria) were 5.6 and 2.5, respectively at 6 hrs after culturing; however, those in flour ferment with seed mash and different lactic acid bacteria were 4.63-4.69 and 9.0-9.9, respectively. Organic acid contents were propionic acid 0.09 mg/g, lactic acid 0.06 mg/g and acetic acid 0.04 mg/g in flour ferment without seed mash, whereas lactic acid 0.23-0.27 mg/g, propionic acid 0.21 mg/g, and acetic acid 0.06-0.08 mg/g in flour ferment with seed mash and lactic acid bacteria. Flavour compounds including ethyl capylate, ethyl caproate, ethyl acetate, ethyl caprate and phenylethyl acetate were detected to be high in flour ferment with seed mash and different lactic acid bacteria than in the control. This results show that the use of flour ferment with seed mash and lactic acid bacteria in making bread will enhance bread flavour.

Growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus in flour was investigated for production of noodle and bread. L. acidophilus grew when fermented in flour, and growth continued upon fermentation with salt for 72 hr. pH of L. acidophilus-fermented flour with salt decreased up to 72 hr, reaching 3.06. Fermented flour with salt showed no decomposition as compared to that without salt. In flour fermented by L. acidophilus, amounts of lactic and acetic acids produced increased with incubation time, and reached, after 72 hr incubation, 6,821 and 0.191 mg/g, respectively, resulting in significantly higher production of lactic acid. Viscosity of fermented flour with salt increased, whereas that without salt decreased with incubation time. Results reveal L. acidophilus-fermented flour with salt could be applied as effective agent in noodle and bread productions.

For development of premium sauce, fermented sauces containing ferment (with wheat flour and soybean) and extract(s) of Styela clava (Korean name: miduduk) tunic and/or mulberry leaves and/or onion were prepared, and their angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities were evaluated. All sauces containing extract(s) showed increased ACE inhibitory and DPPH radical scavenging activities. Especially, sauces containing extracts of mulberry leaves and onion showed superior activities, with 26.92% and 40.66% relatively increased ACE inhibitory and DPPH radical scavenging activities, respectively, compared to control (no extract was added). These results suggest that extracts of mulberry leaves and onion could improve antihypertensive and antioxidant activities of fermented sauce.
