The noodle is one of the most popular meal as a main dish in Korea and onions are reported to contain high levels of flavonoids such as quercetin, aglycone, and quercetin 4-glycoside. This study was conducted to develop the wet noodle with onion juice and to examine the cooking quality, textural properties of it. Five sensory attributes such as gloss, chewiness, adhesiveness, odor, and taste were used for sensory evaluations. Optimal amount of onion(149.5 g) and salt (6.5 g) satisfied target sensory score(7.0) was suggested by response surface methodology. The wet noodle with optimal amount of onion juice and salt was tasted by 100 consumer and showed high score(6.67) in overall acceptability. Cooking quality was measured through absorption of water, volume, degree of turbidity. The volume, water absorption, and cooking water turbidity of cooked wet noodle with onion juice(experimental noodle) were significantly(p<0.01) higher than the control one. Texture profile analysis of experimental noodle showed a lower score of hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, and chewiness. However, it appeared that the experimental noodle showed higher score for cohesiveness than the control noodle.

This study was conducted to investigate the properties of wet noodle when different concentrations of Prunus mume juice were added to the wheat flour. The characteristics of wet noodle including cooking properties, color, mechanical texture properties, and sensory quality were determined. The compositions of Prunus mume were 88.19% moisture, 0.45% crude ash, 4.04% citric acid and 0.41% total sugars. The pH of Prunus mume was 2.76. The moisture absorption rate, weight, volume and turbidity of cooked noodles added with Prunus mume juice were lower than reference sample. When the amount of Prunus mume juice increased, the Hunter L(brightness) value, a(redness) value of cooked noodles decreased but b(yellowness) value increased. Instrumental rheological characteristics of wet noodle containing Prunus mume juice were measured with a texture analyzer. The hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of wet noodle with 20% Prunus mume juice were higher than others. However, the hardness of cooked noodle decreased with the increase in the amount of Prunus mume juice into noodle. The adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess of cooked noodles added with Prunus mume juice were higher than reference sample. The results of sensory evaluation of cooked noodles containing Prunus mume juice indicated that the appearance, color, taste and chewiness of the cooked noodle with 10% Prunus mume juice showed the higher preference than others. Based on cooking properties, rheological and sensory evaluation, addition of 10% Prunus mume juice suggested to be acceptable for processing wet noodle.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics and storage of wet noodle with added Cheonnyuncho powder. Wet noodles were prepared at concentration of 1, 3, and 5%(w/w) of the fruit based on flour weight. Moisture content of the noodles with or without Cheonnyuncho powder was 34~36%. Ca, K, Mg, Fe, Mn and Zn contents of Cheonnyuncho noodle were increased at increasing concentrations of Cheonnyuncho powder. Cooked weight, volume, and water absorption decreased with increased fruit powder, whereas turbidity increased. For hunter's color values of noodles, L(lightness) and b(yellowness) values decreased with increasing concentration of Cheonnyuncho powder, whereas a(redness) value increased. For mechanical characteristics of the noodles, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, chewiness, elasticity, and brittleness of cooked noodle with Cheonnyuncho powder were lower than those of control. The pH of Cheonnyuncho noodle was lower than that of control during storage. Bacterial counts of wet noodle with 1% and 3% fruit powders were lower than those of the control and 5% fruit powder on the 8th day of storage at $5^{\circ}C$. From the sensory evaluation, texture, taste, and overall preference were not significantly different between the control and fruit group, but the color of 5% Cheonnyuncho noodle was significantly higher than that of control (p<0.05). In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that the addition of 1% and 3% Cheonnyuncho powder in combination with flour tended to improve antimicrobial effects during storage when compared to control.

In an attempt to introduce paprika in wet noodles for improved organoleptic and other quality characteristics, the juices of orange paprika was added as a raw ingredient for wet noodle at 0(control), 15, 30, 45, and 60%(v/w). Overall, the cooked wet noodles containing 15 to 60% paprika juices showed higher sensory scores than control(noodle without Paprika juice), and the acceptabilities for color and overall preference of the products were significantly(p＜0.01) higher at the addition levels of 45% and 30 and 45%, respectively. The intensity analysis for the organoleptic quality characteristics of wet noodles with orange paprika juice showed that as the addition levels increased, there were significant(p＜0.001) increase in the values of acceptances for color and flavor of the products, but not in the tenderness and chewiness. Other quality characteristics like water absorption ratio, weight, volume, and turbidity of the broth after cooking of wet noodles increased in values as affected by the addition of paprika juices. In the Hunter's colorimetric characteristics of the products, the decreased lightness(“L”) along with the increased redness(“a”), yellowness(“b”), and ΔE were caused as the amounts of orange paprika juice increased in wet noodles. For toughness, no significant differences(p＜0.001) were noticed among the samples as measured by Waner-Bratzler blade attached to Texture Analyzer. The results of this study suggested that adding orange paprika juice to wet noodles, most preferably at 45%, increases the acceptance and organoleptic qualities of noodle by affecting the color and flavor of the final products.

The effect of addition with maesil(Prunus mume) juice for extending the shelf-life of wet noodle was investigated by measuring quality changes such as total microbial count and pH. The Prunus mume juice showed antimicrobial activities against Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli. When the wet noodles containing Prunus mume juice were kept at $4^{\circ}C$ for 20 days, it was showed that the drop of pH was not significantly occurred during the storage. Total microbial counts for control exceeded the initial putrefactive criterion level of $1.0{\times}10^6\;cfu/g$ at 16 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. However, total microbial count of wet noodles with the addition of 10%, 20% and 30% Prunus mume juice were $3.0{\times}10^2\;cfu/g,\;3.0{\times}10^2\;cfu/g,\;and\;1.5{\times}10^2\;cfu/g$, respectively, and these bacterial counts were still less than the criterion level ever at 20 days of storage. The addition of Prunus mume juice extended the shelf-life of wet noodle appreciably.

This study was designed to estimate the effect of ethanol addition on shelf-life extension and changes in growth of total aerobic bacteria in fresh wet noodles. The wet noodle was made with addition of 0, 1 and 2% ethanol. During the storage at $10^{\circ}C$, wet noodles were monitored changes in the total numbers of aerobic bacteria. A 6 log cfu/g was applied as a standard for microbiological quality of foods. As a result, the shelf-lifes of wet noodle with addition of ethanol at the standard were 9.17 days at no ethanol, 15.02 days at 1% ethanol and 27.03 days at 2% ethanol. The respective percentage increases in the shelf-life observed at both 1 and 2% ethanol addition were 63.8% and 194.8% comparing with no ethanol treatment. Consequently, addition of ethanol into fresh wet noodle inhibited growth of total aerobic bacteria and extended shelf-life.

This study was investigated the effects of condensed phosphates (pyrophosphate, metaphosphate and polyphosphate) on the quality and self-life of wet noodle. The initial pasting temperatures were increased by the addition of pyrophosphate and metaphosphate, respectively, whereas those of propylene glycol and polyphosphate were decreased. Pyrophosphate showed the highest final viscosity, whereas metaphosphate showed the lowest. Setback of PG, polyphosphate, pyrophosphate and metaphosphate were all lower than the control. The water absorption ratios of PG and polyphosphate were increased compared to the control, whereas those of pyrophosphate and metaphosphate were decreased. The volume expansion ratios of PG and polyphosphate were slightly increased. Turbidities of PG and polyphosphate were lower than those of the control, whereas those of pyrophosphate and metaphosphate were increased in cooked noodles. The bacterial counts of wet noodles made with PG, polyphosphate, metaphosphate and pyrophosphate were all lower than those of the control after storage at 5$^{\circ}C$.

The effect of treatments with alcohol, chitosan, or with both alcohol and chitosan for extending the shelf-life of Korean white rice cake and wet noodle was investigated by measuring quality changes such as total microbial count, pH, and sensory qualities. Total microbial counts for control, alcohol-treated, and 1% lactic acid-treated white rice cakes exceeded the initial putrefactive criterion level of $1{\times}10^{6}\;CFU/g$ at 6, 27 and 20 days of storage, respectively. However, total microbial count of the white rice cake treated with chitosan was still less than the criterion level even at 76 days of storage. In the case of wet noodle, total microbial counts of control and alcohol-treated groups exceeded the criterion level within 7 days of storage, while that of chitosan-treated group was far less than the criterion level even at the end of storage of 82 days. Chitosan treatment extended the shelf-lives of both white rice cake and wet noodle appreciably.

The objectives of this study was to investigate the properties and stability of the wet noodles added to nanoemulsion as a industrial model system, and in so doing, survey practical applicability in the food industry. In order to test out these objectives, the characteristics and stability of the wet noodles added to nanoemulsion were investigated and their cooking characteristics and capsaicinoids loss were examined. As a result, the test results showed that the findings indicated that the post-cooking loss of capsaicinoids in the wet noodles added to double-layer nanoemulsion covered with chitosan was less than the losses in the wet noodles added to any other noodles. More especially, this demonstrates that the noodle added to double-layer nanoemulsion covered with chitosan scored significantly higher than the others with reference to their cooking properties, color, texture, stability for storage stability, and sensory evaluation. These results show that the findings of this study demonstrated that the noodles added to nanoemulsions could be produced as a food-grade merchandise because they could provide enhanced encapsulation capacity of capsaicinoids and higher acceptability.

This study investigated the utilization of activated calcium (AC) as preservatives for wet noodle manufacturing. The quality characteristics and shelf-life of wet noodle made with sterilized distilled water, 5% alcohol, 0.1% AC plus 5% alcohol, 0.2% AC plus 5% alcohol, and 0.2% AC were evaluated. The total microbial count and pH value of wet noodle were determined during storage at $10^{\circ}C$. During storage at $10^{\circ}C$ for 42 days, pH of wet noodles was slightly decreased with increased storage periods. The pH values of wet noodles made with AC were higher than the others. Instrument textural characteristics (hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewingness) were measured and were not significantly changed during storage period. The total microbial counts in wet noodles increased with extended storage duration. With AC, microbial growth rate were decreased compared to the control for whole storage period. In sensory evaluation, a little difference was shown between control and AC or alcohol containing wet noodles and no significant differences during the storage period. It was concluded that shelf-life of wet noodles was extended two-fold or more by adding AC for storage at $10^{\circ}C$.
