To develop the functional noodles, powders of soybean and Gastrodine rhisoma were mixed with wheat powder. When 0-5% of soybean powder was mixed with wheat one, the characteristics of noodles was changed as follows; Along with the increasing of mixed soybean powder, L(brightness) and a(redness) value was decreased. Hardness showed increasement in all noodles added with soybean powder but, on the contrary, Cohesiveness was decreased. The content of isoflavones in noodles was increased along with the increament of mixing ratio of soybean powder. Sensory evaluation showed that the noodles with 5% of sobyean powder was significanly higher than those of no-soybean powder. At the same time, the characteristics of noodles added with Gastrodine rhisoma was evaluated. The results were as follows; As in soybean powder, L(brightness) and a(redness) value was decreased along with the increasing of mixed Gastrodine rhisoma. Compared with no-powder, hardness and Chewiness was significantly increased in 0.5% and 1.0% in soybean powder, and 0.5% in Gastrodine rhisoma one, respectively. Sensory evaluation showed that the noodles with 1.0% of Gastrodine rhisoma powder was significanly higher than those of no-soybean powder. Considering together with sensory evaluation and economic aspect, noodles with 5% of soybean powder and 0.5% of Gastrodine rhisoma to be the best ones.

The effects of barnyard millet (Echinochloa spp.) content (10~30%) on wheat flour dough and noodle properties were investigated. As the amount of barnyard millet increased, the particle size and ash content of mixed flour increased, while lightness tended to decrease. The gelatinization characteristics of millet flour showed higher peak viscosity, holding strength, final viscosity, and setback compared with wheat flour. There was significant positive correlation between protein content and sedimentation volume, as well as between protein content and water absorption. As the amount of barnyard millet increased, hardness, springiness and cohesiveness of wet noodles tended to decrease. From the results of sensory evaluation, composite flours (addition up to 20% barnyard millet) were rated with a quality score for taste and overall acceptance which was comparable with the control flour.

We examined the chemical properties of leek and dropwort and prepared the noodles with the dried powder of them, to develope functional processing floods which contain biological active compounds. The groups were divided by the drying methods as follows: hot air drying at 50$\^{C}$ (A), hot air drying after blanching for 30 sec (B), hot air drying after steaming for 2 min (C) and freeze drying (D). We had analyzed the content of vitamin C, total chlorophyll, and phenolic compounds and measured the hunter color values of dried powders individually. The contents of evaluated compounds were higher in A and D than in B and C groups and also the electron donating activity of A and D was stronger than B and C. The cooking properties of noodles prepared with leek and dropwort powder were examined. After cooking, the weight and volume of noodles prepared with powder were lower than those of control The turbidity of noodle soup were increased as the adding ratio was increased. The cutting strength of cooked leek noodles with A and B powder was similar to that of control, in case of dropwort, cooked noodles with D showed similar to that of control. The cutting strength of cooked noodles were decreased as the adding ratio were increased. The electron donating activity of noodles with vegetable powders showed high than that of control The sensory evaluation showed that significant difference between noodles with 2.5 ?/e addition groups and control was not recognized but was recognized between noodles with 5% addition groups and the control.

The Present study was attempted to investigate the Possibility of modification of functional properties of the rice flour by crosslinking proteins using microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) derived from a variant of Streptoverticillium sp. MTGase was added at various levels (3,000, 5,000, 7,000 and 10,000 ppm) during making noodles mixed with the rice flour. Mixograph and farinograph showed that imported wheat flour (IWF) had strong dough stability, while the rice flour showed very weak dough strength. However addition of mTGase (3,000, 5,000 and 7,000 ppm) resulted in improvement of dough stability of the rice flour. Texture profile analysis (TPA) results indicated that most of texture parameters (gumminess, chewiness and hardness) of cooked noodles prepared from the rice flour were significantly lower than those of noodles prepared from IWF. However, by addition of mTGase (at the levels of 3,000, 5,000, 7,000 ppm) dough stability and all the TPA values and sensory score (at the level of 7,000 ppm mTGase) on chewiness and hardness of cooked noodles made with $30\%$ rice flour were improved significantly. These results suggest that dough stability and texture of rice noodles as well as sensory characteristics could be improved by addition of mTGase to the rice flour.

The purpose of this study was to determine the sodium (Na) and potassium (K) content of school meals served in elementary and junior high school in Korea. In this study, 872 kinds of school meal dishes were collected from twelve elementary and twelve junior high schools located in four different cities in Korea (Daegu, Masan, Gwangju, and Jeju). The dishes were classified into three main categories; staple dish, subsidiary dish, and dessert. Each main category was further sub-classified into 4 kinds of staple dishes, 15 kinds of subsidiary dishes, and 5 kinds of dessert dishes. The Na and K content of dishes were then analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The Na content of individual dishes showed considerable differences, ranging from 9 to 2,717 mg/100 g. Among the staple dishes, cooked rice contained relatively less Na, but other staple dishes such as a la carte, noodle, and rice-gruel contained considerably high amounts of Na. Regarding the subsidiary dishes, the Na content of salad was low, but those of Jangachi, stir-fried dishes, and kimchi were considerably high. Among the dessert dishes, beverages, fruit, and milk/dairy products contained relatively low amount of Na, while rice cakes and baked goods, and snacks contained noticeably high amounts of Na. Unlike the Na content, the K content between the dishes did not show much variability. Cooked rice and rice cakes contained relatively low amounts of K, similar to other dishes, and ranged from 104 to 220 mg/100 g. The Na/K ratio was especially high in rice cakes and Jangachi, while of the ratio in beverages, milk/dairy products, salad, and fruit were pretty low. The total content of Na and K and the Na/K ratio of elementary school meals were 974 mg, 378 mg and 2.7, respectively, and those in junior high school meals was 1,466 mg, 528 mg and 3.0. The results show that most school meals provide a significant amount of Na but significantly small amounts of K, as suggested by the Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans.
