Dried barley moodle was made with the addition of gelatinized corn flour as binder by using piston type noodle piston press, in which the temperature was kept below the temperature of protein denaturation. The evacuation of air bubble from the dough strengthened the wet noodle strands and improved the cooking quality of the dry noodle. Although the binder was indispensable, the addition should be less than 20%, because the gelatinized corn flour increased the turbidity of the cooking water. Kneading with 3% solution of soy protein resulted in improvement of the noodle's cooking quality.

This Study was conducted to investigate the processing quality of high-amylose content rice(goami) flour for noodle. The potassium and magnesium contents of rice flour were negatively associated with gross score of noodle making mixed with wheat flour. The high-amylose content of rice flour was closed associated with gel consistency negatively and with hardness of rice noodle positively, Setback viscosity of rice flour measured in a rapid visco-analyser(RVA) was significantly affected by amylose content as well as gel consistency. Also the amylose content decreased, the amylogram pasting temperature and the breakdown ratio increased. The low-amylose content rice(Chucheong) flour showed higher values in solubility. Cooking quality and texture were measured, and sensory evaluation was performed with the noodles prepared. Texture measurement showed that the noodles of composite flour containing 40% goami rice flour were superior to those wheat flour alone. Water binding capacity of the composite flour containing 40% goami rice flour was lower than that of 40% chucheong rice flour. In sensory evaluation, chewiness, overall acceptability of noodle with 40% goami ricer was evaluated as the best.

We investigated the physical and cooking properties of commercial noodles supplemented with functional ingredients. RVA (rapid visco analyzer), color, water activity, texture and cooking properties were tested. Noodles containing kudzu showed the highest initial gelatinization temperatures, whereas noodle containing kelp displayed the highest peak viscosity and set back. Holding strength and final viscosity were highest in noodles containing mugwort. The L value ($94.89{\pm}0.02$) of wheat flour noodle was the highest. Among functional noodles, L value ($88.65{\pm}0.01$) and a value ($7.42{\pm}0.02$) of cactus noodle were the highest, whereas b value of pumpkin noodle was $40.81{\pm}0.03$, which was higher value than in other noodles. Water activity of cactus noodle was highest (0.455), but the difference was not significant. Cooking properties (including weight, volume, and water absorption) and turbidity of pumpkin noodles showed the highest growth rate. In terms of texture, hardness was highest ($12836.8{\pm}7.1g/cm^2$) in green tea noodles, and cohesiveness and gumminess were highest in kelp and mugwort noodles. Considerig the quality characteristics of noodles supplemented with mulberry leaves, cactus, mugwort, green tea, pumpkin, kelp or kudzu, pumpkin noodles were most stable in terms of gelatinization and cooking properties.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The prevalence of hypertension is increasing, and noodles have a high sodium content, so noodle consumption might be associated with a higher prevalence of hypertension. This study aimed to analyze the association between total and types of noodle intake and the risk of hypertension among Korean adults. Subjects aged 40-69 years were selected for this study. SUBJECTS/METHODS: This study included 56,580 participants (18,246 men and 38,334 women) aged 40-69 years old from the Health Examinees study. Noodle and nutrient intakes were assessed using the food frequency questionnaire. Hypertension was diagnosed as systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg or antihypertensive medication use. Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for hypertension. RESULTS: Higher noodle consumption was associated with increased hypertension among men (HR, 1.273; 95% CI, 1.166-1.390) and women (HR, 1.116; 95% CI, 1.038-1.199). CONCLUSION: We recommended reducing noodle intake and consuming vegetables and fruits to increase potassium intake, which can prevent vascular diseases.

This study was conducted to investigate the properties of noodle which was made of composite flour blended with the powder of synnemata of Beauveria bassiana. The characteristics of cooked-noodle including color, cooking properties, mechanical texture properties were measured, and sensory evaluation was performed. The L-value of dry and wet-noodle which made of composite flour was similar to that of 100% wheat flour, but a and b-value were higher than those of 100% wheat flour. There were no differences in the weight, volume and water absorption of the cooked-noodle made of composite flour and that of 100% wheat flour, but the turbidity of the cooked-noodle made of composite flour was higher than that of 100% wheat flour. The breaking force of dry-noodle which was made of composite flour was same as that of 100% wheat flour. Hardness and Gumminess of the cooked-noodle which was made of composite flour blended with synnemata powder at level of 1∼5% were same as those of 100% wheat flour. Springiness, chewiness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness of the cooked-noodle which was made of composite flour blended with synnemata powder at level of 1% were similar to those 100% wheat flour. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the cooked-noodles containing 1% and 3% synnemata powder were acceptable as much as those of 100% wheat flour in terms of color, taste, flavor, texture and overall acceptance.

In this study, hydroxypropyl methylcelluloses (HPMCs) were added to prepare the rice noodle and the effects of water dosage, HPMC content, and viscosity level of HPMC on the noodle-making properties of rice dough were examined. As the water dosage was increased, the rice dough after roller pass became more flat and homogeneous. However, when the water dosage was over a certain range, the rice noodle became more waved. In the test result of various HPMC contents, 3% HPMC addition was turned out to be an optimum condition for the best noodle-making properties of rice dough. As the viscosity level of HPMC decreased, the rice dough after roller pass became inhomogeneous. However, the lowest viscosity level HPMC (PMC 40H) did not show any waved rice noodle at even high water dosage indicating the improved noodle-making properties of rice dough. On the whole, it seems that 56~58% water dosage, 3% HPMC content, and high viscosity HPMC (PMC60U) were the optimum condition for preparation of good rice noodle.

The viscoelastic behavior of traditional Korean noodles was examined by using a tensile tester built in the laboratory. The creep test of cooked noodle strand showed that a linear viscoelastic response could be expected for a short time of creep, i.e. 120 sec for wheat flour noodle and 60 sec for wheat-sweet potato starch noodle, with the stress range between $4{\times}10^4\;and\;14{\times}10^4\;dyn\;cm^{-2}$. The elastic modulus was estimated to be $7.0{\times}10^5\;dyn\;cm^{-2}$ for wheat flour noodle and $3.9{\times}10^5\;dyn\;cm^{-2}$ for wheat-sweet potato starch noodle. A peculiar increase in viscosity with increasing stress, i.e. stress-hardening, was observed in the noodles studied.

Effect of gamma irradiation on quality properties of half·cooked noodle was studied. The noodle were treated with lactic acid(0.1%, w/w), heat(10 min in boiling water) or their combination after cooking for 3 min, and irradiated at 0, 5 and 10 kGy. The noodle were stored at 25。C for 5 weeks and microbial population, Aw, pH, and texture profiles were examined. Fungi were completely eliminated by gamma-irradiation with 5 or 10 kGy does. Number of aerobic bacteria were also decreased by 2 and 4 log cycles with dose of 5 and 10 kGy, respectively. The D10 values of aerobic bacteria were 2.34∼2.95 kGy. Growth of the aerobic bacteria that survived even at 10 kGy of irradiation were significantly inhibited during storage. Acidification of half-cooked noodle was suppressed by gamma irradiation but A${_w}$ were not affected. Stickiness was decreased at the beginning of storage by gamma irradiation but was restored after 3 weeks. The results indicated that the gamma irradiation would be useful to improve quality and storage stability of half-cooked noodle.

The quality of Ramyon prepared from hard red winter-western white (HRW-WW) and dark northern spring-western white (DNS-WW) flour blends having protein contents of 9.12-9.78% was examined. The noodles were manufactured by commercial process with the same water absorption. The weight and volume of cooked noodle were decreased as the protein content increased at the same cooking time. No significant differences in cooking properties were observed between noodles prepared from HRW-WW and DNS-WW blends. The weight and volume of noodle prepared from HRW-WW blend cooked for 4 min showed significant negative correlation with farinograph and extensograph data and protein contents of flours, but positive correlation with amylograph data. Such correlations were not found from noodles prepared from DNS-WW blend. Based on the sensory evaluation of cooked noodle it was concluded that the optimum protein content for noodle manufacture was in the range of 9.28-9.62%. The replacement of HRW with DNS flour had no effect on the sensory quality of noodle.

Instant noodles are widely consumed in Asian countries. The Korean population consumed the largest quantity of instant noodles in the world in 2008, However, few studies have investigated the relationship between instant noodles and nutritional status in Koreans. The objective of this study was to examine the association between instant noodle consumption and food and nutrient intake in Korean adults. We used dietary data of 6,440 subjects aged 20 years and older who participated in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III. The average age of the instant noodle consumers (INC) was 36.2 and that of the non-instant noodle consumers (non-INC) was 44.9; men consumed more instant noodles than women (P<0.001), With the exception of cereals and grain products, legumes, seaweeds, eggs, and milk and dairy products, INC consumed significantly fewer potatoes and starches, sugars, seeds and nuts, vegetables, mushrooms, fruits, seasonings, beverages, meals, fishes, and oils and fats compared with those in the non-INC group. The INC group showed significantly higher nutrient intake of energy, fat, sodium, thiamine, and riboflavin; however, the INC group showed a significantly lower intake of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, vitamin A, niacin, and vitamin C compared with those in the non-INC group. This study revealed that consuming instant noodles may lead to excessive intake of energy, fats, and sodium but may also cause increased intake of thiamine and riboflavin. Therefore, nutritional education helping adults to choose a balanced meal while consuming instant noodles should be implemented, Additionally, instant noodle manufacturers should consider nutritional aspects when developing new products.
