This study investigated the quality characteristics of noodles containing roasted Liriopis tuber. Roasted Liriopis tuber powder (LTP) was added in different amounts based on wheat flour (1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9%). Cooked noodles containing LTP exhibited significantly lower values for weight, volume, and water absorption; in contrast, higher values were exhibited for turbidity. The Hunter L value (for lightness) of uncooked and cooked noodles decreased but the a value (for redness) and b value (for yellowness) increased with the addition of Liriopis tuber. Textural properties (springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and brittleness) measured with a texture analyzer significantly decreased with the addition of Liriopis tuber. From the sensory evaluation results, noodle containing 7% Liriopis tuber was considered the best. To improve the quality of noodle containing 7% LTP, activated gluten was added at different percentages of flour (1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%). Cooked noodles containing activated gluten exhibited significantly higher values for weight, volume, and water absorption; in contrast, lower values for turbidity were exhibited. In addition, the textural properties significantly increased with the addition of activated gluten. From the sensory evaluation results, noodle containing 3% activated gluten was considered the best. In conclusion, noodle with 7% LTP and 3% activated gluten exhibited the most desirable qualities.

This study was conducted to investigate physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant activities, and sensory evaluation of water extracts from Liriopis tuber (Liriope platyphylla Wang et Tang; LP) treated with roasting over various temperatures ($150{\sim}190^{\circ}C$). The LP water extracts showed increase of total sugar, reducing sugar, total protein, and total saponins except pH as roasting temperature was elevated. The browning index, and a and b values of color were increased, however, L value was decreased as temperature was elevated. 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, superoxide anion radical, and nitrite scavenging activities and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity of LP water extracts were increased by 6.77, 2.37, 4.02, and 4.92 times, respectively, after roasting at $190^{\circ}C$. In sensory evaluation, LP water extracts roasted at $170^{\circ}C$ showed the highest scores in color, savory taste, flavor, and overall acceptability.
