Protein characteristics of Korean wheat were evaluated to determine the effects of protein content and quality on processing and textural properties of white salted noodles compared to US wheat flours with various wheat classes and commercial flours for making noodles. Protein quality parameters, which were independent of protein content and included SDS sedimentation volume with constant protein weight, mixograph mixing time and proportion of 50% 1-propanol insoluble protein, of Korean wheat flours with 2.2+12 subunits in high molecular weight glutenin subunit compositions were comparable to those of commercial flours for making noodles. Parameters related to noodle making, including optimum water absorption, thickness and color of noodle dough sheet, correlated with protein content and related parameters, including SDS sedimentation volume with constant flour weight, mixograph water absorption and gluten yield. No significant relationship was found in protein parameters independent of protein content. Hardness of cooked noodles from Korean wheats was lower than that of US wheat flours compared to similar protein content of commercial noodle flours. Adhesiveness, springiness and cohesiveness of cooked noodles from Korean wheats were similar to US wheat flours. Hardness of cooked noodles correlated with protein content and related parameters.

Cysteine, a thiol group-containing reducing agent which is known to relax the strain and increase the viscosity of dough, was added to Korean and imported wheat flour noodles to investigate the effect on the properties of raw, dried, and cooked noodles and to determine the optimum cooking time and amount to improve the color of noodles. Addition of cysteine up to 1% of flour (8.25 mmole/100 g flour) was not effective in increasing the brightness of raw and dried noodles and in changing the water activity of dried noodle. However, cysteine improved the brightness of cooked noodle made of both Korean and imported wheat flours. Also, there were notable differences in cooking and sensory properties of cysteine-added cooked noodles such as less firm and stickier texture due to the extraction of organic compounds into broth. When the noodles were cooked for their optimum cooking time, no difference was noticed in the texture and overall preference regardless of the addition of cysteine. Overall, the addition of 1 % cysteine increased the brightness of cooked noodles and reduced the cooking time.

This study investigated the quality of noodles containing different amounts of Chinese artichoke powder. Noodles were prepared at ratios of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% Chinese artichoke power based on flour weight. The weight, volume, and water absorption of cooked noodles significantly decreased with increasing amounts of Chinese artichoke powder. Turbidity of noodles increased according to addition of Chinese artichoke powder. The noodles showed decreased L and b values, and increased a values with increasing Chinese artichoke powder content in the flour composite. Hardness of cooked noodles increased significantly with increase ing Chinese artichoke powder content. Springiness, cohesiveness, and chewiness decreased with increasing amounts of added Chinese artichoke powder. The antioxidant activities (DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity) and nitrite scavenging activity were improved significantly with addition of Chinese artichoke powder. Finally-, sensory evaluation results indicated that noodles containing 1% Chinese artichoke powder had higher quality as compared to other samples.

In this study, gluten-free noodles were developed and the physicochemical quality of gluten-free noodles added with nondigestible maltodextrin (NMD) was also investigated. The gluten-free noodles were prepared by addition of 0, 5, 7, and 9% NMD of total ingredients except water. Inhibition activities for ${alpha}$-amylase and ${alpha}$-glucosidase according to the addition amounts of NMD were evaluated. As a result, activities of carbohydrate-digestive enzymes decreased with an increase of the added NMD amounts. Water binding capacity and solubility of raw noodles increased upon NMD addition. Swelling power also increased as temperature rose. L value of raw noodles decreased with the addition of NMD, but b value increased. Texture profile analysis of cooked noodles showed reduction of hardness, springiness, and chewiness of noodles with NMD. On the other hand, tensile strength of cooked noodles containing up to 7% NMD was not significantly different from that of noodle without NMD. In the sensory evaluation, elasticity of noodles with 9% NMD was lower than that of other noodles, whereas other characteristics of noodles were not significantly different among noodles. Therefore, it was confirmed that the addition of 5~7% NMD had little effect on the sensory quality of noodles.

Noodle texture parameters of Korean style wet and dry noodles and relationships between noodle quality and flour characteristics were evaluated for two years, 1997 and 1998, and at two locations, Suwon and Deokso, using Korean winter wheat cultivars and lines. No significant difference for chewiness was found between cultivars over locations. Noodles made from flours from 1997 showed significantly higher chewiness than those from 1998. Chewiness of cooked noodles showed positively significant correlations with protein content and SDS sedimentation volume and negatively significant correlations with starch peak viscosity and flour swelling volume. Korean winter wheat cultivars, except for Gobunmil, Keumkangmil Tapdongmil, Suwon 265 and Suwon 280, showed chewiness of cooked noodles similar to commercial flours used for noodle making in Korea and Japan.

This purpose of this study was to investigate cooking characteristics of noodles prepared by adding 0, 2, 4 or 6 percent of Capsosiphon fulvescens to wheat flour containing konjac powder. Water binding capacity was significantly increased with increasing amounts of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Weight and volume of cooked noodles increased significantly in proportion with the amount of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Turbidity of the soup after cooking also increased with the addition of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Brightness(L) and redness(a) were decreased with addition of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Yellowness(b) increased. The color value of cooked noodles was decreased compared with that of wet noodles. Sensory evaluation scores revealed that cooked noodles with 4 percent addition group were highest in terms of color, flavor and overall acceptability. This study validates that addition of Amorphophallus konjac and 4 percent Capsosiphon fulvescens may improve functionality and preference of noodles.

To utilize sea tangle single cell detritus (SCD) as food additive, SCD noodle was developed using mixture model. Flour improved, whereas water decreased texture of SCD noodles. Texture of SCD noodle decreased initially and then increased as SCD content increased. Flour and SCD increased, whereas water decreased $L^*$ and $b^*$ values of dried and cooked noodles. Flour decreased $a^*$ values of dried and cooked noodles, while SCD increased $a^*$ value of cooked noodle. Response constraint coefficient showed SCD influence on texture, and $L^*$ and $b^*$ values of dried and cooked noodles was higher than those of flour and water, whereas water influence on $a^*$ value was higher than those of flour and SCD. Texture and color values fitted nonlinear model with interaction terms for flour-water, flour-SCD, and water-SCD. Optimum mixing ratio value of flour : water : SCD was 63.3 : 31.0 : 3.7%. Sensory evaluation value of SCD noodles was lower than those of industrial and electrolyzed SCD noodles.

The objectives of this study were to reduce the characteristic dark color of Korean wheat flour noodles. Several additives were tested to reduce dark color of wheat flour dough and 2% ascorbic acid and 0.05% cysteine were selected as additives to Korean wheat flour noodle. Comparative study was performed between commercial imported wheat flour noodle and Korean wheat noodle with two additives to investigate the color, mechanical and sensory properties of noodles. Addition of 2% ascorbic acid increased the brightness of raw and dried Korean wheat flour noodles and 0.05% cysteine was the most effective in improving the brightness for cooked wheat flour noodles. Mechanical properties of cooked Korean wheat flour noodles with 2% ascorbic acid and 0.05% cysteine were similar to that of the imported wheat flour noodles. However, sensory evaluation test showed Korean wheat flour noodles with 2% ascorbic acid had the darkest yellowish-red color, the strongest aftertaste and the lowest overall quality. Therefore, the addition of cysteine was the most effective in mechanical and sensory attributes as well as discoloration of cooked wheat flour noodles.

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of rice bran dietary fiber on wheat flour rheology and wet noodle quality. More than 99% of rice bran dietary fiber contained smaller particle size than $250\;{\mu}m$. The initial pasting temperature, peak and final viscosities in amylograph, and the water absorption and dough stability in farinograph increased with the increase of rice bran dietary fiber concentration. The lightness values decreased with the increase of rice bran dietary fiber concentration in raw noodles as well as cooked noodles. The addition of rice bran dietary fiber was not effective on the cooked weight and volume of cooked noodles. However, the cooking loss of cooked noodles was the highest in control, and increased with the increase of rice bran dietary fiber concentration. Most of texture parameters (hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess and chewiness) of cooked noodles increased, but the cohesiveness decreased with the increase of rice bran dietary fiber concentration. There were no significant differences in appearance, taste and acceptability of cooked noodles between control and noodles containing 3% and 6% rice bran dietary fiber.
