This research intends to research on the optimal cooking techniques by adding perilla leaves to raw noodles, in which it has various effects and functions in sterilization. The water content measured in the dough added with raw perilla leaf juice came out high as more perilla leaves were added. More freeze-dried perilla leaf powder decreased water content. The pH of the dough increased significantly as the added ingredients increased with significant differences among the samples. The chromaticity of the dough deliberately decreased in both a and b as the amount of raw perilla leaves in dough increased. The L value of raw noodles with freeze-dried perilla leaves tended to decrease as more ingredients were added. The result of the RVA analysis on the dough with raw perilla leaves showed that the gluten decreased with more raw perilla leaves added. The result of the RVA analysis on the dough with freeze-dried perilla leaf powder indicated that the initial pasting tempo tended to increase significantly with more powder added except for 5% and 7% of powder added with no significant difference. The values dropped as the freeze-dried powder was added Minimum viscosity tended to decrease definitely as more freeze-dried perilla leaf powder was added. The dough's measurement results of WRC showed that water absorbing power of both dough with raw perilla leaves and that with freeze-dried perilla leaf powder reduced significantly as more perilla leaf powder were added.

This study investigates the optimal application of perilla leaves to fresh noodles in terms of a variety of beneficial effects and functions such as the anti-microbial function of the leaves. First, we measured the water contents of the fresh noodles and found that the ones added with 7% lyophilized perilla leaf extract showed the maximum water contents whereas the control noodles without perilla leaf extract the minimum. Increasing amount of raw perilla leaf extract or lysophilzed perilla leaves in the fresh noodles elevated the L value and significantly reduced the A value. The mass and volume of the fresh noodles were gradually decreased with raw perilla leaves added. Addition of raw perilla leaf extract and lyophilized perilla leaves decreased the turbidity of the fresh noodles. Hardness of the fresh noodles was increased by the addition of lyophilized Perilla leaves. Next, we tested the effect of the addition of sesame leaves on microbial growth. No microbes were found in the fresh noodles in the absence or presence of sesame leaves at day 0. When the noodles were stored for 3 days, the greatest number of bacteria was detected in the noodles without perilla leaves while addition of perilla leaves lowered the amount of bacteria in the noodles. We then performed the sensory test. For the raw perilla leaf extract addition, the noodles with 9% of extract exhibited the highest in appearance, flavor, color (6.47), texture (6.60), and overall acceptability (7.67). Texture was the highest in the ones with 3% (6.87) and 5% (6.20) of extracts added. Overall acceptability (7.07) was the best when 3% perilla leaves were added. Overall, 9% addition of raw perilla leaf extract or 3% addition of lysophilized perilla leaves showed optimal tastes.
