This study evaluated the quality characteristics of noodles added with dried Beta vulgaris L. root powder (BV powder) in order to determine the most preferred noodle recipe. When amount of BV powder increased, both L and b color values decreased, whereas a value increased due to the red betalain pigments in BV powder. Weight, volume, and water absorption of cooked noodles decreased, whereas turbidity of soup increased. For textural properties, addition of BV powder to cooked noodles increased springiness, chewiness, and brittleness. Overall, according to the results of the sensory evaluation, noodles added with 1% BV powder were the most preferred.

The purpose of this study was to use polymannuronic acid (polymann) obtained from the polysaccharide, component of brown seaweed, to convert wet noodles to healthier noodles. The study also investigated the effects of polymann on the quality of wet noodles. The wet noodles were prepared with composite flour containing various contents of polymann. The characteristics of the wet and cooked noodles, such as color, texture, cooking properties and sensory attributes, were evaluated. The addition of polymann did not affect the cooking weight, volume and water absorption. The turbidity of polymann noodle soup increased slightly as the amount of polymann in the noodles was increased. The L, a and b values of wet and cooked polymann noodles decreased as the amount of polymann was increased. Texture properties increased proportionally as the amount of polymann was increased. The hardness of noodles made with polymann was lower than that of control, while the springiness and adhesiveness of polymann noodles were higher than those of control. In sensory evaluations, there were no significant differences between control noodles and those containing 2% and 4% polymann. However, noodles with 2% polymann received significantly higher taste scores than the other noodles.

The study was carried out to investigate the quality of the wet noodle added with the powders of nopal and nopalitos from Opuntia ficus-indica. The wet noodles were prepared to the ratio of 3, 6 and 9% (w/w) of the nopal and the nopalitos based on a flour weight. The initial pasting temperature and final viscosity in an amylograph decreased as the increase of the nopal and the nopalitos powders. A cooked weight and volume decreased with the increase of the nopal and the nopalitos powders, while a cooking loss increased. From the sensory evaluation, the wet noodles included 3% nopalitos and 6% nopal powders were similarly evaluated as the noodle used whole wheat flour. Bacterial counts of wet noodle with the nopal and the nopalitos powders were always lower than those of the control. Bacterial counts of wet noodle slowly increased as the increase of the amount of nopal and the nopalitos powders during storage at $4^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. The methanol extracts from the nopal showed antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli O157 : H7, Salmonella typhimurium, and Bacillus subtilis, while the extracts from the nopalitos showed antimicrobial activity only against Escherichia coli.

We investigated how the addition of polypeptides to instant fried noodle dough affects the dough properties, starch gelatinization, and textural properties of cup-type instant fried noodles. After comparing farinograph results of 100% wheat flour with 1% wheat flour substituted with gluten, there was a small difference in the mechanical dough properties. However, in the case of 1% wheat flour substituted with gluten peptides, the dough development time increased, dough stability decreased, and weakness increased. On the other hand, when gluten or gluten peptides were added, starch gelatinization did not change significantly. At the steaming stage, substitution with gluten peptides or soybean peptides markedly changed the molecular weight distributions of extractable polypeptides. Especially in the case of wheat flour substituted with 1% gluten peptides, the relative portion of low Mw extractable polypeptides (2.5-50 kDa) decreased more compared to a control. Also, the hardness and chewiness decreased in cooked cup-type instant fried noodles containing gluten peptides. This suggests that the addition of gluten peptides can reduce the rehydration time of cup-type instant fried noodles.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of dried noodles when different concentrations of Loquat (Eriobotyya japonica Lindley) leaf powder (LLP) were added to the wheat flour. The cooking quality, mechanical texture properties, and viscosity were measured, and a sensory evaluation was conducted with the prepared noodles. The gelatinization points of the composite LLP-wheat flours were shown to increase. As measured via amylograph, viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$, viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 minutes, and maximum viscosity values of those samples decreased as the LLP content increased. As increasing amounts of LLP were added, the L and a values were reduced, whereas the b value was increased and 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, the noodles prepared with 5% LLP were preferred more than the others, according to the results of our sensory evaluation.

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.
