The purpose of this study was to use polymannuronic acid (polymann) obtained from the polysaccharide, component of brown seaweed, to convert wet noodles to healthier noodles. The study also investigated the effects of polymann on the quality of wet noodles. The wet noodles were prepared with composite flour containing various contents of polymann. The characteristics of the wet and cooked noodles, such as color, texture, cooking properties and sensory attributes, were evaluated. The addition of polymann did not affect the cooking weight, volume and water absorption. The turbidity of polymann noodle soup increased slightly as the amount of polymann in the noodles was increased. The L, a and b values of wet and cooked polymann noodles decreased as the amount of polymann was increased. Texture properties increased proportionally as the amount of polymann was increased. The hardness of noodles made with polymann was lower than that of control, while the springiness and adhesiveness of polymann noodles were higher than those of control. In sensory evaluations, there were no significant differences between control noodles and those containing 2% and 4% polymann. However, noodles with 2% polymann received significantly higher taste scores than the other noodles.

To establish an optimum formula for processing wet noodles with steam-dried Hizikia fusiformis flour(SHF), it was incorporated into wheat flour by the ratio of 0, 1, 3, 5, 10 and 20% based on a flour weight. Application of 2% mehthylcelluose(MC) to improve the texture of noodles mixed with SHF was also attempted. Evaluation was performed on the dough rheology and wet noodle quality, such as cooking characteristics, mechanical texture properties, sensory value and shelf-life. Water absorption rate of the composite flour increased linearly as the content of SHF increased from 1% to 10%, and noodle sheet-formation was also acceptable in the same content level. The weight and volume of cooked noodles were decreased, and turbidity of soup was, if exceeding more than 5% of SHF, increased constantly. However, these problems could be remarkably resolved in SHF plus 2% MC. Texture profile analysis of cooked noodles showed an increase of hardness, gumminess, and chewiness up to 5% SHF. The results of sensory evaluation showed that cooked noodles containing 5% SDF were acceptable as much as wheat four noodles in terms of color, texture, taste and flavor. Based on cooking properties, rheological and sensory evaluation, addition of 5% SHF plus 2% MC was suggested to be suitable for making wet noodles, of which the shelf-life was estimated to be 8 days at $5^{\circ}C$.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of wet noodles as well as their cooking properties following the addition of peanut sprout extract (PSE) and powder (PSP), which are known to contain a significant level of resveratrol. Wet noodles were prepared with 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% PSE and PSP. Quality characteristics such as increasing volume of noodle, water ratio, turbidity of cooking water and color, texture, and sensory evaluation were then assessed. Additionally, the total resveratrol content in the cooked noodles was analyzed by HPLC and DPPH free radical scavenging capacity. As the amount of PSE and PSP increased, the L value of wet and cooked noodles significantly decreased, whereas the a and b values increased (p<0.001). The L value of cooked noodles was significantly lower compared to wet noodles (p<0.001) whereas the a and b values were higher. For the cutting intensity properties of the cooked noodles, hardness was reduced with increasing amounts of PSE (p<0.001), and was significantly increased in proportion to the amount of PSP (p<0.05). Meanwhile, springiness was not significantly different in all groups. Total resveratrol content and free radical scavenging activity significantly increased in proportion to the amounts of PSE and PSP (p<0.001), especially in noodles containing 5%, 7.5% and 10% PSE and PSP. Finally, sensory evaluation of PSE noodle revealed that color, flavour, taste were significantly decreased (p<0.05). But there was no difference in overall acceptance among cooked noodles with 2.5% to 5% PSE comparison to the control. Sensory characteristics in the PSP noodle showed similar results. In conclusion, these findings suggest that peanut sprout extract and powder could be potentially used as functional food ingredients. In addition, up to 5% PSE and PSP can be substituted for wheat flour.

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.

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.

In this study, the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of wet noodles added with doraji (Platycodon grandiflourm) powder at concentrations of 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%, respectively, were investigated. The crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, crude fiber, and moisture contents of the dried doraji powder were 11.00%, 0.95%, 4.10%, 29.64%, and 6.21%, respectively. As the added amount of doraji powder increased, weight, volume, and water absorption of the wet noodles after cooking decreased. However, the turbidity of the soup increased. Color L values of wet and cooked noodles decreased, while a and b values increased by the addition of doraji powder. Texture measurement indicated that hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and chewiness of the cooked noodles decreased by addition of doraji powder. The total polyphenol contents and DPPH radical scavenging activity in wet noodles added with doraji powder increased with increasing amounts of doraji powder. Finally, sensory evaluation of wet noodles added with doraji powder revealed that taste significantly decreased. However, flavor, color, texture, appearance, and overall acceptance scores for the 1% addition group ranked significantly higher than those of the other groups. In conclusion, these findings suggest that doraji powder could be used as functional food ingredients.

Purpose: This study was to investigate the quality characteristics of wet noodle added with radish juice containing with pulp. Methods: Wet noodles were prepared with different amounts of radish juice (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%, w/w) instead of water. Results: As the amount of radish juice was increased, water absorption, volume increasing rate, and turbidity of soup were decreased. Lightness (L) values of uncooked wet noodles and cooked noodles were decreased with the addition of radish juice, while redness (a) and yellowness (b) values had no tendency of increasing or decreasing, regardless of the amount of radish juice. Moreover, lightness, redness, and yellowness values of uncooked noodles were higher than those of cooked noodles. The texture of cooked noodles showed significant differences in hardness and chewiness. It was increased as the amount of radish juice was increased. Their adhesiveness and springiness were lower than those of the control. Appearance, texture, and overall acceptability of sensory evaluation revealed that the noodle added with 80% of radish juice had the highest scores, although there were no differences among noodles added with different amounts of radish juice. Conclusion: In summary, the most desirable blending ratio of radish juice and water for the kneading of wet noodles was 80:20.

Wet noodles were prepared with wheat flour and mushroom powder (oyster and oak mushrooms), and effects of added mushroom powders on dough rheology and wet noodle quality were examined. Particle size distribution of mushroom powder ranged from 0.04 to $500\;{\mu}m$, which was different from that of wheat flour. The initial pasting temperature in amylograph, and the water absorption and the dough development time in farinograph increased with the increase of mushroom powder. The peak and final viscosities in amylograph, and dough stability in farinograph decreased with the increase of mushroom powder. Decrease of L value and increase of a and b values were shown with the increase of mushroom powder in wheat flour-mushroom powder composite as well as wet noodles. The cooked weight and volume of cooked noodles were decreased, but the turbidity of soup were increased with the addition of mushroom powder. Most of texture parameters (hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness and cutting force) of cooked noodles decreased with the addition of oyster mushroom powder, but increased with the addition of oak mushroom powder. From the result of sensory evaluation, wet noodles containing 3% oyster mushroom powder and 5% oak mushroom powder were rated as high quality wet noodles.

The results of wet noodles added with 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7% freeze-dried maesangi powder demonstrate that the addition of maesangi powder up to 5% was desirable formation of noodles. The moisture contents of wet noodle 35.48~36.42%. As the added amount of maesangi powder increased, weight, volume, water absorption, and turbidity the wet noodle soup after cooking increased. Measurement of color changes between before and after cooking the wet noodles found that as the added amount of maesangi powder increased, the lightness and yellowness increased. Measurement of texture after boiling found that, hardness, chewiness and gumminess tended to increase as the amount of added maesangi powder increased whereas, springiness and cohesiveness were significantly different between the different samples. The results of the sensory evaluation showed that the 3%-added group was the best for color, flavor, and taste while the control groups had the best texture. For overall acceptability, the 3%-added group showed found the highest preference level. Measurement of the changes in total viable cells during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ for 18 days found that 6-days was the optimal storage period for the noodles from the control groups and added groups. As the storing period increased, the maesangi powder added groups showed slower propagation speed for viable cells compared to the control groups.
