Abstract: The effects of the geminated corn flour (germination for 6 days) on the lactic acid fermentation and dough fermentation were studied. The results showed that, as additive, germinated corn flour enhanced the growth of lactic acid bacteria and yeast, increased the amount of lactic acid and the viscosity of the fermented milk, and increased holding gas ability and shortened fermentation time in dough fermentaion.

Key words:  , germinated corn flour; lactic acid fermentation; dough fermentation;
