To determine the optimum condition for buckwheat noodle making, we prepared noodle from com posite flours of buckwheat, wheat and corn starch, and those physical properties and sensory evalua tion were investigated. The weights of cooked noodle became lower with increasing buckwheat content level indicating that elution of its components to soup was high. Wheat flour in the composite flours probably caused to drop gelatinization temperature and maximum viscosity compared to buck wheat flours. Corn starch in the composite flours increase gelatinization temperature and maximum viscosity compared to buckwheat flours. From the result of farinogram, buckwheat flour lower water absorption ability, and increased dough development time compared to composite flours. Adhesiveness of the cooked noodle with wheat flour was decreased. Cohesiveness of the cooked noodle was decrea sed with increasing buckwheat flour level. In sensory evaluation, chewing and softness of noodle with 100% buckwheat flour was evaluated the best. In taste, BW1 and BSW1 noodles showed slightly higher preference although there was no significant differences.

This study was aimed to determine the cooking properties of noodles when dfferent concentrations of Aster scaber THUNB(AST) juice were added to the buckwhenat and wheat flours. Also, physicochemical effects of the noodles and compositions of the noodles and compositions of the noodle soup after cooking were determined. Buckwheat flour and AST contained greater amounts of minerals and essential amino acids than wheat flour. The contents of chlorophyll and carotenoids in the buckwheat noodle added AST juice increased as the concentrations of AST juice increased. Hydration capacity of buckwheat flour was higher than that of wheat flour when AST juice was added to flours. The added amounts of AST juice did not affect the volume and the weight of the noodles, but those were increased as cooking time proceeded. The release of proteins and minerals from the buckwheat noodle added AST juice increased as cooking time progressed and also at the added concentrations of AST juice increased. Texture indices showed lower values as the amount of added juice increased. In sensory evaluation, the scores of color, flavor and overall acceptability of the buckwheat noodle added AST juice were higher than those of the control.

This study was conducted to determine the usefulness of bamboo leaf powder as a functional ingredient for buckwheat cold noodles. The anti oxidative and fibrinolytic activities of bamboo leaf powder were very high, and were further maintained or improved after strong heat treatment. We prepared buckwheat cold noodles using 0%, 3% or 5% of bamboo leaf powder. Only the cohesiveness of the noodle having 5% bamboo leaf powder was lower than that of the noodles contained 0% and 3% bamboo leaf powder. The L-, a- and b-values were significantly different between noodles which contained bamboo leaf powder and those which did not. Nevertheless, the amount of bamboo leaf powder didn't affect the color parameters of buckwheat cold noodles. According to sensory evaluation, the addition of bamboo leaf powder improved the score of color and texture of buckwheat cold noodles, but overall acceptance was not significantly affected. Cooked volume, cooking loss and turbidity of buckwheat cold noodle containing 5% bamboo leaf powder were lower than the others, indicating that adding 5% bamboo leaf powder prevented the softening of the noodles with moist heat. We concluded that the application of bamboo leaf for the production of buckwheat cold noodle will be a good way to intake the biologically active ingredients for good health.

To lower the calories of buckwheat noodle, which is good for reducing obesity and for Preventing adult disease, glucomannan and flour containing resistant starch(RS) were used during the noodle making Process. Compared with raw noodle, this buckwheat raw noodle had $30\%$ fewer calories. This low caloric buckwheat noodle was coated with olive oil which is reputed as well-being food to prevent soddening to make instant type buckwheat noodle. Its shelf-life was extended to 90 days under normal temperature($35^{\circ}C$I). Among four noodle samples with different combinations of raw materials, the best was made of flour with RS formula flour, buckwheat flour, glucomannan, activated gluten, and emulsifying agent. The one without salt had better quality. Among 6 kinds of packing materials, OPP/Al/PE composite level film demonstrated the best quality packing materials.

To evaluate a possible effects of instant buckwheat noodle on hepatic and serum lipids profiles, apparent digestibilities and growth rate, male young rats were fed diets containing sucrose as a control group, instant 100% wheat flour noodle, or instant wheat noodle fortified with either 10% or 30% buckwheat flour as experimental groups for 4 weeks. Weight gain and feed intake in the two buckwheat noodle fed groups were similar to those of the wheat flour fed groups. In addition, no significant differences were found in the apparent digestibilities among the groups experimented. There were no differences in the hepatic and serum cholesterol levels due to the diets. However, Buckwheat noodle group showed a trend to decrease the liver and serum concentration of triacylglycerol, compared to the sucrose and 100% wheat flour groups. The addition of buckwheat flour to wheat flour up to 30% seemed to be effective in lowering the hepatic triacylglycerol level. After 10hr fasting, the serum glucose level of the buckwheat noodle group was similar to the levels of the other groups. The presented results indicate that instant noodle containing buckwheat at the level of 30% has a mild hypotriglyceridemic effects, and no adverse effects on the digestion of macronutrients in rats.

This study was tried to evaluate possibilities for discriminating the mixture degree of wheat flour from buckwheat products. Buckwheat was milled into four grades of powder, i.e. whole grain flour (WGF), inner layer flour(ILF), middle layer flour(MLF) and outer layer flour(OLF)), and these powders were mixed with wheat flour(WF) to make mixed samples. Ash, protein and fat contents of the buckwheat flours were high in the order of OLF=WGF>MLF>ILF. On the other hand, WF showed a similar content to OLF in ash and protein, and to ILF in fats. Potassium and magnesium contents were higher in all the buckwheat powder than in the wheat flour. Flavonoid contents were higher in order of OLF>WGF=MLF> ILF, but it was not in wheat flour. Although the reliable correlation between mix ratio and components, i.e. mag nesium or ash analyzed were found, it did not seem to reflect sufficiently the expected variations of contents of original material components. Also, compositions of commercial buckwheat products were analyzed to evaluate the mixed ratio of buckwheat flour and wheat flour. The results suggest that the components analyzed in this study as putative marker were not good in determining whether or how much buckwheat products contained wheat flour.

Buckwheat often causes severe allergic reactions in sensitive people. One of the major allergenic proteins in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) has been found to be a BW10KD protein. In this study, we developed a PCR method to detect buckwheat ingredients in food using primers corresponding to the allergenic BW10KD gene. Five pairs of oligonucleotide primers successfully enabled PCR amplification of the specific regions of the genomic BW10KD DNA from buckwheat, but no amplification from seven other cereals and beans (barley, wheat, German millet, African millet, soybean, red bean, and black bean). The proposed PCR method was applied to analyze 12 processed foods (buckwheat flour, buckwheat noodle, buckwheat jelly, wheat noodle, instant noodle, black sesame gruels, sunsik, cookie, misutkaru, and three kinds of cereal); among them, only three samples including buckwheat flour, buckwheat noodle and buckwheat jelly showed a positive reaction to the detection. This PCR method was able to detect as little as 1 ng of common buckwheat DNA. This rapid and specific PCR method would be applicable to detect allergenic buckwheat ingredients in food.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of sample presenting types on the sensory characteristics of chilled buckwheat noodle soup (Naeng-myeon). Generic descriptive analysis was performed for evaluating only stock (system 1), only noodle (system 2) and stock with noodle (system 3). Eight kinds of commercially available Naeng-myeon were samples of interest. Ten female descriptive panelists participated. ANOVA and regression analysis were used for data analysis. In the training sessions, ten sensory properties were developed for system 1, four were additionally established for noodle. In each system, the 8 products showed significantly different intensities in almost all sensory attributes like darkness of stock, overall flavor, sweetness, saltiness, sourness. When integrating the two systems, sample presenting types showed significant difference for the seven sensory attributes, especially saltiness, sourness, beef flavor tended to be rated more strongly in system 1 than system 3.

The first record of buckwheat in Korea was revealed from an old Korean book, “Hyangyakguguebbang(향락구급방)” written in the era of king ‘Gojong’ who governed the country from AD 1236 to 1251 in the Korea dynasty. Buckwheat in Korea has been known to be introduced from China in 5th - 6th century. One of the most famous buckwheat noodles, ‘Naengmyeon’ had been used popularly among the people in the Korea dynasty. It is true that buckwheat noodle had been cooked and sold in temples during the Korea dynasty, and was regarded it as one of the temple foods at that time.(중략)
