This study was to investigate the quality characteristics of factory-style and handmade-style steamed bread products using texture analyzer, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and organoleptic evaluation. Our results showed that the handmade-style steamed bread were higher in adhesiveness and cohesiveness than those of factory-style steamed bread but hardness was lower. According to the SEM, many equally distributed large holes were present on the handmade-style steamed bread surface. In the organoleptic characteristics, flavor (taste) and overall experience of handmade-style steamed bread evaluated higher than those of factory-style steamed bread. This study was to provide basic data on quality characteristics of steamed bread that will be useful for the improving quality and developing steamed bread.
