Scanning electron microscopy was used to study changes in granule shape, dough and cooked noodle structure of pea starch-wheat composite flour with 20% and 30% pea starch substitution. The granule shape of pea starch with low swelling power and solubility was oval, irregular and smooth, which had more a deep groove than corn starch and wheat flour. During gelatinization, pea starch after swelling was partially collapsed but it still held its main shape. The dough microstructure of 20% pea starch substitution showed compact structure distributed with more small starch granules than wheat dough and was held in discontinuous network. When cooked, more open filamentous network where starch gelatinization was complete were noticed. Swollen but partially collapsed large starch granules maintaining their shape were appeared in noodle structure after 30 min soaking in soup. In farinograph studies, 20% pea starch substitution to wheat flour showed that MTI value was as same as wheat flour even though stability was slightly decreased so that it was considered that it has proper property of noodle making.

A supplemental effect of Undaria Pinnatifida extract on the composite flour prepared from a blend of wheat, barley, sweet potato, potato, and defatted soybean flours was studied in terms of binding properties, cooking test, and sensory analysis. Dry noodle of the composite flour was made by the conventional method and air dried. Instant noodle was prepared in a hot vegetable oil bath after the noodle was made. The standard was made of wheat flour only. 1. The noodle prepared with composite flour (wheat flour : barley flour, 5 : 5) and Undaria Pinnatifida extract (1 or 2%) showed same results of cooking and sensory tests as well as properties of texture as the standard. 2. The mixture of wheat, barley and defatted soybean flour (10%) had a less efficient binding capacity with Undaria Pinnatifida extract. The binding effect was, however, significantly improved with the wheat and barley flour mixture with either sweet potato or potato flour. 3. The instant noodle prepared with the composite flour (either barley, or sweet potato, or potato was mixed with wheat flour up to 70% separately) and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (1% as final) showed the higher oil absorption and the sensory results were the same as the standard. Nevertheless, the binding properties and cooking quality were less efficient.

Seven domestic wheat cultivars, Suwon 261, Suwon 265, Eunpa, Kobun, Alchan, Olgru, and Kumgang, and a standard wheat, ASW(Australian Standard White Wheat), were compared in noodle-making properties. The ash contents of domestic wheats and flours were 0.1-0.3% higher than that of ASW. Therefore, domestic wheats required the control of ash contents during milling process. The protein contents which suggest the flour gluten content were 10.32, 11.3, and 9.57% in Suwon 261, Suwon 265, and Kumgang cultivars, respectively. Valorimeter values of Eunpa, Olgru, and Kumgang which indicate the dough formation time and stability were similar to that of ASW. Resistance rate of domestic wheats was lower than that of ASW. Maximum viscosity in Amylograph for Eunpa, Olgru, and Kumgang were in the range of 500-800BU, which were suitable for making noodles. Increase in weight and volume of Olgru noodle was negatively correlated with protein content. Turbidity was not positively correlated with weight and volume increase, but domestic cultivars except Suwon 265 and Eunpa showed a similar turbidity with ASW. The mechanical properties of wet and dry noodles were evaluated by TPA test before and after cooking. Springiness and cohesiveness of wet noodles increased by cooking, and the domestic cultivars showed higher values than ASW. Springiness and cohesiveness of dry noodle were not increased by cooking in any cultivars. Gumminess, chewiness and hardness of domestic wheat cultivars showed higher values than that of ASW. In the tensile test, wet noodles showed no difference between domestic cultivars and ASW. But dry noodles of domestic wheat cultivars showed higher values than ASW. In the color test for lightness, redness and yellowness, there were no differences between flour and dough of domestic wheat cultivars and ASW. In the sensory evaluation, Kumgang wheat cultivar was the most preferred among the wet and dry noodles of other domestic wheat cultivars and ASW. These results suggested Kumgang wheat cultivar to be a practical wheat variety for noodle-making.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate quality characteristics of dried noodles when different concentrations of lotus leaf powder (LLP) were added to the wheat flour, thereby determining which noodle recipe was preferred. The cooking quality, mechanical texture properties, and viscosity were measured, and then a sensory evaluation was conducted with the prepared noodles. The gelatinization points of the composite LLP-wheat flours were shown to have an increased, viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 minutes. As measured via amylograph, the maximum viscosity values of those samples were decreased as the LLP content was increased. As well, when increased amounts of LLP were added, both the L and a values were reduced, whereas the b value was increased. The color values, weight and volume of the cooked noodle increased, as did the turbidity of the soup. With regard to the textural characteristics, the LLP additive increased hardness and cohesiveness, and reduced adhesiveness and springiness. Overall, according to the results of our sensory evaluation, the noodles prepared with 5% LLP were preferred over the other noodles.

A barley (20-30%)-wheat (80-70%) flour gave generally acceptable noodle-making characteristics, in which naked barley flour showed somewhat better results than covered barley flour. And also for over 40% barley flour in the barley-wheat flour, the addition of xanthan gum improved the noodle-making characteristics. A naked barley-defatted soy flour could make dried noodles with only high NSI (Nitrogen Solubility Index) defatted soy flour, however this mixture was not considered to be feasible for noodle-making. In cooking characteristics of barley-wheat flour noodles, naked barley flour was more acceptable than covered barley flour and xanthan gum influenced the water absorption and volume expansion of noodles during cooking. The firmness, cohesiveness and gumminess in cooked noodles made of the barley-wheat flour increased and then decreased as the amounts of barley increased. The mixing of defatted soy flour (high NSI) to naked barley flour increased the firmness and gumminess of cooked noodles.

The mechanical models representing the theological property of traditional Korean noodles; i.e. wheat flour noodle and wheat-sweet potato starch noddle, were investigated from the data obtained by creep and creep recovery test using a tensile tester. The rheological behavior of the noodle products could be expressed by the 6-elements Voigt model. The instantaneous elasticity, retarded elasticity, retardation time, retarded viscosity and Newtonian viscosity of the noodle products were evaluated. With the increasing cooking time, 4-elements Burger's model was applicable to represent the mechanical behavior of wheat-sweet potato starch noodle.

This study was carried out to examine the effects of wheat flour ferment cultured by Lactobacillus acidophilus on the physical characteristics of cooked noodle. Different scanning calorimeter(DSC) analysis results for noodle gelatinization showed that the noodles containing flour ferment had higher enthalphy values than the control noodle. And based on the degree of retrogradation for the noodles containing the flour ferment, enthalpy decreased as the amount of the ferment increased, resulting in the delay effect on the retrogradation. According to textural property evaluations over a storage period, the noodles containing the flour ferment had increases in hardness and cohesiveness, and the springiness of the control group was higher than that of the noodles containing the flour ferment; however, this difference between groups gradually disappeared with increasing storage time. Finally, the noodles containing 10% flour ferment had a higher overall preference score than the control group, indicating that the addition of the flour ferment during noodle production can have a beneficial effect on the preference.

This study was conducted to evaluate quality characteristics of noodles containing barley flour and ${\beta}$-glucan enriched fraction. Compared to 100% wheat flour, composite flours containing barley flour and ${\beta}$-glucan enriched fraction decreased initial pasting temperature and increased maximum peak viscosity. The noodles containing ${\beta}$-glucan enriched fraction exhibited somewhat darker color and lower values in cooked weight, volume, moisture content, and cooking loss. From the textural properties measured by texture analyzer, the noodles with 30% barley flour and ${\beta}$-glucan enriched fraction were similar to 100% wheat noodle in springiness value and significantly higher in gumminess, hardness, and chewiness. The results of sensory evaluation indicated that barley flour or ${\beta}$-glucan enriched fraction at levels up to 30% could be substituted for wheat flour without seriously depressing noodle quality. Cooking of raw noodle with ${\beta}$-glucan enrichment slightly increased total, insoluble, and soluble ${\beta}$-glucan content.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of dried noodles made of wheat flour with different concentrations of Dioscorea japonica flour. Cooking quality, mechanical texture properties and viscosity were measured, and sensory evaluation was performed with the prepared noodles. Water binding capacity, solubility and swelling power of the composite Dioscorea japonica flour-wheat flours were higher than those of pure wheat flour. Gelatinization points of the composite Dioscorea japonica flour-wheat flours were increased and initial viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$, viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 minutes and maximum viscosity of these composites were decreased, with increasing Dioscorea japonica flour content, as measured by amylograph. With increasing Dioscorea japonica flour content, L and b values were decreased, but a value was increased, for the color values, while weight and volume of the cooked noodles and turbidity of the soup were increased. For the textural characteristics, the addition of Dioscorea japonica flour increased the hardness and decreased the adhesiveness, cohesiveness and springiness. Overall, the noodles made with 10% Dioscorea japonica flour were preferred more than the other noodles, as tested by sensory evaluation.

The use of wheat flour in Korea in 1986 and 1987 was surveyed. A brief outline of wheat flour milling industry was also included. Since the overall trend in flour usage in 1986 and 1987 was similar, the data in 1986 were presented. Total sales volume of wheat flour was 1,556,891M/T, of which 51.1% was sold to wholesale agents and the remainder to commercial users. The main usages of flour were noodle-making, baking, brewing and common use including home use, retailer and supermarket. The first and second class of all-purpose flour were used for noodle-making and brewing. Bread was produced with the first class of strong flour. For confectionery the first class of all-purpose flour was mainly used.
