In this study, the physicochemical characteristics of rice sourdough fermented with Omija extract were investigated. Rice sourdough was made with a 3 stage fermentation process. pH & total titratable acidity, numbers of yeast and lactic acid bacteria, and dough expansion rate were measured. In addition, an RVA was employed to study the pasting properties of rice sourdough. There was a significant (p<0.05) change in both the pH of rice sourdough, which decreased from 5.08 to 3.98, and total titratable acidity, which increased from 0.20 to 0.57 (0.1N NaOH mL), as fermentation time increased. The amount of yeast and lactic acid bacteria significantly increased from 6.73 to 7.65 log CFU/g, 6.93 to 7.65 log CFU/g, respectively(p<0.05). The expansion rate of rice sourdough fermented with Omija extract was higher than rice sourdough fermented without Omija extract. The initial pasting temperatures of rice sourdough fermented with Omija extract were decreased from $91.3^{\circ}C$ to 85.6. The final viscosity and setbacks decreased as fermentation time increased. These results suggest that Omija extract has a beneficial effect on increasing the expansion rate of rice sourdough as a substitute for wheat flour.

Sourdough is made by fermentation of dough by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast to improve bread properties like volume, flavor, and texture. A Korean traditional sourdough was made by fermenting rice flour with rice wine (makgeolli) and used to make sponge-like bread (jeung-pyun). The aim of this study was to investigate the microbial diversity of makgeolli products and their influence on the organoleptic quality of jeung-pyun. Three commercial makgeolli were tested for jeung-pyun production, with each product exhibiting varied dough swelling rates and organoleptic qualities, and among them, J-product was ranked highest in texture and taste. Microbial analysis of the three makgeolli also showed a big difference in their population and diversity. J-product had the highest LAB and yeast counts, and the predominant species were Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus brevis, Leuconostoc pseudomenteroides, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using J-product, sourdough was fermented at $25^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, and $35^{\circ}C$, and the microbial growth in and textural properties of jeung-pyun were examined by instrumental and sensory tests. At high temperature ($35^{\circ}C$), the rates of dough swelling and acidification were fast due to rapid microbial growth mainly caused by LAB, resulting in a short leavening time and soft and sour jeung-pyun. Sensory tests showed consumer preference for the soft and mild-sour jeung-pyun. This study shows that LAB in makgeolli play key roles in production of jeung-pyun, influencing the textural and sensory properties. For the production of high-quality jeung-pyun, development of LAB starters with high gas productivity and low acidity and establishment of an optimal fermentation procedure for rice dough are necessary.

To improve the quality of Choungju. a kind of rice wine, two different types of koji were prepared and compared : one from wheat bran with Aspergillus usamii mut. shirousami Y-79 and the other from rice with A. oryzae, and yeast strains from cereal wine mashes were newly isolated and applied for the brewing method. Levels of the related enzymes such as glucoamylase, ${\alpha}-amylase$ and acid protease in the wheat bran koji were higher than those in the rice koji, whereas vice versa in the case of acid carboxypeptidase. An amount of $2{\sim}3%$ wheat bran koji to the weight of total rice was adequate for saccharification of the mash and resulted in improved duality of the fermented mash, accompanied by decrease in koji ordor and amino acidity. When the solution of wheat bran koji and the isolated yeast strains were employed, the better Choungju taste was obtained in comparison with those fermented with Japanese sake yeasts, the strain K-7 and 9, due to the lower content of organic acids especially succinic acid. The amino acidity of the fermented mash was able to be controlled to some extent, when the rico types of koji and the isolated strains were employed, by changing the ratio of the two koji types. However, the application of the rice koji with the isolated strains was not desirable for the brewing process because organic acids were produced in excess and ethanol fermentation was retarded.

The goal of this study was to screen a useful alcohol fermentative yeast for Gugija leaf makgeolli (Gl makgeolli) brewing and establish its optimal fermentation condition. Gugija leaves with various alcohol fermentative yeasts were added into the mixture of cooked non-glutinous rice and koji, and then fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Among several Gl makgeolli, ethanol contents was the highest in Gl makgeolli made by S. cerevisiae F-1. Therefore, we selected S. cerevisiae F-1 as suitable yeast for brewing of Gl makgeolli. Gl makgelli with the best total acceptability and high antihypertensive action was obtained when cooked non-glutinous rice (120 g), boiled D.W (100 mL) and JJ koji (60.5 g/300 sp) were mixed and fermented for 2 days at $30^{\circ}C$ with S. cerevisiae F-1 (5%), and added again cooked non-glutinous rice (150 g), glutinous rice (100 g), D.W (500 mL) and Gugija leave (0.1%/cooked rice) and further fermented for 5 days at $25^{\circ}C$.

The Takju brewing of raw rice starch was carried out by the simultaneous saccharification- fermentation using Rhizopus sp. koji and yeast, and compared with the Takju mash brewed by the conventional method. Rhitopus koji was prepared with uncooked rice for Takju brewing without cooking of rice starch. Alcohol concentration of Takju mash brewed with uncooked rice was slightly higher of 1.8% than that with cooked one. Amino acid contents was almost double and fuse1 oil contents was lower in uncooked brewing. The Takju mash prepared after fermentation without cooking of rice had a characteristic odor of raw material and a good quality of taste.

The growth characteristics and production of color pigments by Monascus strains were investigated during liquid culture, and production of monacolin K in red mold rice was carried out by solid state fermentation. Four different Monascus ruber strains were cultured in potato dextrose yeast extract broth (PDYB) media at $25^{\circ}C$ for 15 days. The high producing strain for red pigment was not corresponded to the strain for yellow pigment. Production of red pigment was high in the strain causing the fast pH change in culture broth. Production of monacolin K in red mold rice by solid state fermentation was influenced by a combination of wet cell weight and spore density in inoculum by liquid culture. Most strains showed the high production of monacolin K in red mold rice, when submerged fermentation was carried out for 5 days as inoculum for solid state fermentation. These results suggest that submerged fermentation period of inoculum have an effect on the production of monacolin K in red mold rice by solid state fermentation, and monacolin K in red mold rice could be increased by controlling the condition of submerged fermentation for inoculum.

Rice Sikhye was fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae for 10 day at 29$^{\circ}C$. Fermentable sugars such as glucose, maltose and maltotriose in rice Sikhye were converted into ethanol by the yeast, but limit dextrin was remained after the fermentation. Rice Sikhye wine was found to contain 5.3% of limit dextrin, 6.5% of ethanol, 2.9 $\mu$mol/ml of amino acid, 457$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of protein, and the acidity of the Sikhye showed 3.1, respectively, and its pH was 3.67. Limit dextrin in rice Sikhye wine showed both signal of $\alpha$-1,4- and $\alpha$-1,6-glucosidic linkage wit its estimation ratio of 5.6:1 by 1H-NMR analysis. The taste of rice Sikhye wine was similar that of wine.

In this study, the physicochemical properties of buckwheat flour and quality characteristics of brown-rice doughs containing various concentrations of buckwheat flour stored at $-18^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks and fermented were studied. The total polyphenolic contents, electron donating ability (EDA) of 0.5%, gelatinization onset temperature (To), gelatinization peak temperature (Tp), and gelatinization conclusion temperature (Tc) of buckwheat flour were 1,920.10mg%, 6.95%, $70.11^{\circ}C$, $78.21^{\circ}C$, and $84.05^{\circ}C$, respectively. There were no significant differences in the amount of yeast between brown-rice Jeung-pyun dough samples containing different levels of buckwheat flour and stored for different time periods. The amounts of carbon dioxide gas evolved from the brown-rice doughs were increased by increasing the concentration of buckwheat flour. The pH of brown-rice dough samples decreased with increasing storage period. Therefore, frozen brown-rice dough containing 6-15% buckwheat flour and stored for 3 weeks were the most desirable.

Effects of substituting wheat flour with rice flour on bread-making properties were investigated. Rice(Oryza sativa L.) cultivars were 'Goami2(G2)', a functional rice containing higher non-digestible carbohydrates, and 'Chucheongbyeo (CC)', an ordinary Japonica rice. Rice flour was substituted at 10, 20 and 30% in wheat bread formulation, and the composite flour was used for yeast-leavened bread making. Peak and final viscosity of G2 rice flour was significantly lower than that of CC rice flour. Mixograph analysis indicated that replacement of G2 rice flour increased dough water absorption and mixing time compared to wheat flour. But, typical mixograph pattern was not found in the dough from composite flour with CC rice flour. As increasing the amount of rice flour, the G2 rice breads showed a significant decrease in loaf volume, but an increase in bread crumb firmness(g). For the CC rice breads, no significant difference(p<0.05) was observed in loaf volume and crumb firmness, ranging 1012~1050 cc and 433~482g, respectively. The results revealed that Chucheongbyeo is more suitable for bread-making with the composite flour of rice(10~30%) and wheat flour.
