The study was to investigate the quality characteristics of American waffles substituted with 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of kamut whole wheat flour (KWF). The KWF samples had maintaining the specific gravity of the batter until the 25% substitution. The spreadability decreased as the ratio of the KWF increased, and the pH of the 100% substitution sample were the lowest. The KWF samples had increasing baking loss rates until the 75% substitution while decreasing the water activity. Lightness and yellowness significantly decreased with increasing the KWF while redness increased. Hardness, chewiness, and gumminess of the 25% substitution sample were the highest, while the springiness and resilience were maximum with the 100% substitution. The KWF samples had increasing overall acceptability, acceptability of color, flavor, and texture until the 50% substitution. The characteristics intensity rating of crust color, bran flavor, and sweetness increased with increasing the KWF. The KWF samples had significantly higher crispiness than the control group. The frequency of the bran flavor, sweetness, nuttiness, and unpleasant increased while the egg and milk flavor, and flour taste decreased. These results suggest that the substitution of the 25~50% KWF could be the optimal to improve the quality characteristics of American waffles.

Five-color bread was prepared by adding herb powder to Korean whole wheat triticum aestivum flour and the quality of baking was analyzed. The pH of the control bread was 6.15±0.12 while that of the whole wheat flour test group was 6.35±0.11, 6.29±0.12, 6.36±0.12, 6.19±0.11, and 6.01±0.13, respectively. The L value of the control bread was 67.78±0.03 and that of the whole wheat flour test group was 69.66±0.02, 60.01±0.12, 64.23±0.01, 63.34±0.01, and 61.64±0.04, respectively. The water activity was slightly increased at 2 days of storage due to the difference in water absorption and water retention. However, on the third day, the water transfer phenomenon in the bread showed water activity decrease in all wheat flour test groups. On the 1st day of the whole wheat flour test bread, the hardness values were 186.86±4.81, 165.89±3.73, 189.71±3.32, 198.38±2.19, and 184.29±3.40 g/cm2, respectively, and that of the control group was 138.84±3.72 g/cm2. The hardness of the control group and the whole wheat flour test group showed a significant difference. The internal structure of the bread in the whole wheat flour test group (100x, 500x) was not smoother than the control’s. The swelling degree of the starch particles and the cracking of the crumbs were confirmed by the adding of five-colored herbs to whole wheat flour.

In the Anzunbaengi (Triticum aestivum) whole wheat flour mixture group, some herbs (A [white], B [yellow], C [black], D [blue], and E [red]) were added. The physicochemical properties were compared to the strong flour and whole wheat flour mixture groups. The dry gluten content of the control group (strong flour) was 13.5±0.4%, and the content in the whole wheat flour test group was slightly lower in value than the control group. The final viscosity, breakdown, and setback values of the dough were 248.4±0.8, 104.8±0.9, and 103.1±2.9 RVU, respectively. The breakdown was significantly different in the control and whole wheat flour groups. The setback value of the dough was increased by 30 RVU in the whole wheat flour test group compared to the control group by 103.1±2.9 RVU, but there was no significant difference between the test group samples. The consistency of the control dough was 500±10 FU, and the whole wheat flour test group was significantly increased to 585±10~599±10 FU, respectively. The absorption rate was about 2% higher in the whole flour test group than in the control group (66.2±0.3%). The pH of the control paste gradually decreased with fermentation time, and the results of whole wheat flour test group were similar (5.78±0.12~5.88±0.12). As the fermentation time increased, the volume of dough was increased and the result was slightly lower in the whole wheat flour test group than in the control group.

식이섬유가 풍부한 WWF를 우리 전통 음식인 설기떡에 첨가하여 수분함량, 색, 기계적 조직감 특성, 노화도, 관능적 특성 등 품질 특성을 규명하였으며, 품질과 영양적 가치를 고려한 적절한 첨가 수준을 찾고자 하였다. 시료들 간 유의적인 수분 함량의 차이는 없었으며, 색도 중 L(명도)값은 WWF의 첨가량이 증가할수록 감소하는 값을 나타내었다. TPA 검사에서 hardness는 제조 직후 시료들 간 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 저장 후에는 WWF의 함량이 많아질수록 그 값이 유의적으로 감소하여, WWF의 첨가가 설기떡의 노화 지연에 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 저장 기간 중 WWF 첨가량이 증가할수록 springiness와 chewiness가 대조군에 비해 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 그 밖의 조직감 특성은 시료 간 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. Avrami 방정식의 시간상수(1/k)값은 WWF 함량이 증가할수록 증가하여 WWF의 노화지연 효과를 확인하였다. 관능적 품질특성은 맛과 향, 조직감에서 5% 대체군이 전반적으로 높게 평가되었으며 전반적인 기호도까지 고려하면 5% WWF 대체가 맛과 향 및 조직감에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Whole grain wheat bread and bakery products is highly considered as a functional food due to the high amount of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber in whole wheat flour. However, as the lower end-use properties of whole wheat products limit consumer selection, it is required to measure the functionality of whole wheat flour. Thus, it is observed the fermentation properties of bread dough from the composite flour of whole grain and white wheat flour. Whole grain cv. Chokyeong developed in the NICS was ground using a hammer mill with 0.5 mm sieve. The composite flour was prepared by substituting wheat flour with whole grain flour at 15, 30, 45% levels. Breads were prepared using the 100 g composite flour according to a basic straight-dough mehtod (AACC 10-10A) with slight modification. A rheofermentometer was used to measure the maximum dough height (Hm) and the maximum gas formation (H’m) during fermentation. Also, total CO2 production was recorded. The Hm decreased from 38.8 to 27.5 (mm) with increasing whole wheat flour from 15 to 45%. Whereas, the H’m was increased from 61.7 to 60.8 (mm) with whole wheat flour increment. Total CO2 production was also decreased with increasing whole wheat flour ranging 1312∼1164 (ml). The fermentation results could be useful to partly predict the effect of substituting whole wheat flour on the end-use quality of pan-breads.
