High amylose corn starch and dextrin (acid-treated at 30, 40 and 50℃ denominated as Dextrin30, Dextrin40 and Dextrin50) were added to non-fried instant noodles. X-ray diffraction pattern, water absorption, cooking loss, microstructure, and textural properties of non-fried instant noodles were investigated. The addition of high amylose corn starch/dextrin induced a slight peak intensity at 20o in the X-ray pattern indicating the insignificant formation of amylose-lipid complex. Non-fried instant noodles including high amylose corn starch/dextrin showed lower water absorption than the control. Dense microstructure in transverse section of noodles was observed in non-fried instant noodles including high amylose corn starch/dextrin except Dextrin50. Also, the addition of high amylose corn starch/dextrin induced low tensile strength, high firmness, and high stickiness. However, non-fried instant noodles containing Dextrin50 showed a loose microstructure and high cooking loss (3.98%), which might be associated with the textural properties such as the lowest tensile strength (0.17 N), lowest increase in firmness (46.77 N) and highest stickiness (18.43 N).

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.

Rice noodles are popular worldwide; however, no standard procedure is available for screening the potential for rice flour to make good quality noodles. This study reports two standard laboratory-scale procedures for preparing flat (sheet type) and extruded noodles. Eight rice cultivars were examined and the cooking loss and tensile strength of cooked noodles were determined. It was relatively easy to control the amount of water added to extruded noodles, whereas flat noodles were very sensitive to the amount of water used. Sheet formation was determined based on the amount of moisture content during preparation, and the Chenmaai cultivar was found to be most appropriate for both noodles making procedures and cooking and textural properties. Finally, good noodle making cultivar such as Chenmaai was less likely to be affected by the milling method.

This study investigated the quality of wet noodles added with Allium hookeri powder. Wet noodles were prepared by addition of 0, 2, 6, and 10% powder to flour of the basic formulation. The water binding capacity of Allium hookeri powder was higher than that of flour. Swelling power and solubility increased with increased temperature. The weight, water absorption, volume, and turbidity values of cooked noodles showed no significant differences. The lightness value decreased with an increase in Allium hookeri powder content. The redness and yellowness values increased with an increase in Allium hookeri powder content. The textural properties of cooked noodles decreased with an increase in Allium hookeri powder content. Antioxidative activity as measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of wet noodles increased as the concentration of Allium hookeri powder increased. The highest quality noodles were obtained with 2% Allium hookeri powder in the wet noodle formula.

This study investigated the effects of rice starch addition, including native, acetylated, and hydroxypropy-lated rice starch, on the quality characteristics of instant fried noodles. Compared to 100% wheat flour (control), flours containing acetylated or hydroxypropylated rice starch showed reduced initial pasting temperatures as well as peak and breakdown viscosities as determined using a Rapid Visco-Analyzer (RVA). The addition of acetylated and hydroxylated rice starch as well as native rice starch increased cooked weight, volume, and water absorption of the fried noodles compared to control noodles. The addition of native rice starch tended to increase softness of noodles, whereas addition of acetylated or hydroxypropylated rice starch significantly lowered hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values. The results of the sensory evaluation indicate that noodles containing rice starch showed improved sensory characteristics such as color, appearance, flavor, taste, and texture. Especially, acetylated rice starch could be used to improve eating quality of instant fried noodles.

Addition of the treated dietary fiber sources to wheat flour were generally decreased at Amylograph viscosity as the mixing ratio increased. Addition of the treated dietary fiber sources on the preparation of noodles increased weight and volume of cooked noodles but decreased extention force as the mixing ratio increased. The sensory test of the dietary fiber sources mixed noodles supplemented by treated soymilk residue 5% was excellent sensual properties. The properties of the dietary fiber sources mixed noodles supplemented by treated soymilk residue 10% and treated apple pomace 5% were nearly the same in the texture organoleptic properties compared with those of wheat flour noodle.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of instant rice noodles made from rice flour with different harvest times rice processed products. The physicochemical characteristics of three different types of rice flour were investigated, including common rice flour (CRF, harvested in 2012), stored rice flour (SRF, harvested in 2008) and CSRF (CRF mixed with SRF). Instant rice noodles were manufactured with the three types of rice flour, and their quality and sensory characteristics were investigated. The water-binding capacity of rice flour was highest in CSRF. Regarding setback on RVA pasting viscosity, SRF and CSRF showed higher values than CRF. Water absorption after cooking of instant rice noodles was highest in common rice noodles (CON). The volume after cooking of instant rice noodles increased in rice noodles with stored rice flour (SRN). Turbidity of rice noodles using CSRF (CSRN) was higher value than that of CON. In texture properties, CON displayed the highest hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, and chewiness. In the sensory evaluation, overall acceptability values of CON were significantly higher than those of other rice noodles (SRN and CSRN). It was concluded that rice noodles with stored rice flour have increased turbidity with reduced texture and overall preference. This study suggests that addition of CRF may result in significantly increased overall quality of instant rice noodles prepared by SRF.

In this study, we investigated the quality and antioxidant activity of wet noodles fortified by adding brown rice and sorghum powders. Wet noodles were divided into four groups: WN-p (wheat flour 100%, purified salt 2%), WBN-b (wheat flour 80%, brown rice powder 20%, bamboo salt (${\times}1$) 2%), WBSN-b (wheat flour 80%, brown rice powder 10%, sorghum powder 10%, bamboo salt (${\times}1$) 2%), and WSN-b (wheat flour 80%, sorghum powder 20%, bamboo salt (${\times}1$) 2%). The wet noodles were evaluated for their quality characteristics and capacities to scavenge free radicals. The weight, volume, capacity to absorb water, and turbidity of cooked WBSN-b were close to those of cooked WN-p. Springiness, cohesiveness, and chewiness of cooked WBSN-b were the highest among all cooked noodles added with brown rice or sorghum powders and textural properties of cooked WBSN-b were not significantly different from WN-P. In the sensory evaluation, the overall acceptance of WBSN-b received the highest score of 6.4 points, which was higher than the score for WN-p. DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities increased significantly with addition of brown rice and sorghum powder, and radical scavenging activities of WBSN-b and WSN-b were the highest. In conclusion, wet noodles added with 10% brown rice powder, 10% sorghum powder, and 2% bamboo salt (${\times}1$) exhibited the same quality properties of WN-p. Addition of 10% brown rice powder, 10% sorghum powder, and 2% bamboo salt (${\times}1$) increased the sensory and antioxidant activities of wheat flour noodles.

End-use properties of six Korean waxy wheat lines and their parental plants were evaluated in this study. Korean waxy wheat lines showed unsuitable characteristics for end products, such as sticky crumb of bread, sticky cooked wet and dry noodles and small cookie diameter. Korean waxy wheat lines produced lower loaf volume and less desirable crumb grain structure of bread, and lower chewiness of cooked wet and dry noodles than their parental plants even though Korean waxy wheats were much higher in protein content and SDS-sedimentation volume than their parental plants. We observed adverse effects of high flour protein content in Korean waxy wheat lines, such as smaller cookie diameter and harder snapping force than those produced from their parental plants.

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.
