The effects of Ge-Geol radish powder on the physical and sensory properties of wet noodles were investigated by adding 4-16% Ge-Geol radish powder based on the flour source. The Ge-Geol radish powder additions significantly increased the redness of the uncooked and cooked noodles. For the texture profile analysis (TPA) of the wet noodles with added Ge-Geol radish powder, hardness, adhesiveness and resilience decreased, whereas chewiness increased. Changes in the volume and weight of the cooked noodles were not significantly different according to Ge-Geol radish powder concentration, but the turbidities of the soup increased. In sensory test, overall acceptability was significantly higher for the noodles with added Ge-Geol radish powder of concentrations between 4-8%. These samples had similar sensory texture properties as the control and had peculiar hot and cool tastes of the radish. Therefore, adding Ge-Geol radish powder at concentrations below 8% was good for making noodles that maintained a natural texture, and also gave an characteristic radish-like flavor to the noodles.

The quality characteristics and shelf life of wet noodles containing a freeze-dried powder of Heracleum moellendorffii(HM) were studied to investigate the use of HM as a food ingredient. The weight, volume, and water absorption of wet noodle sprepared with HM(HML) decreased as the concentration of HM increased. The turbidity of HML sauce and the loss in the solid content of noodles after cooking were lower than those of control noodles. Whiteness(L) and redness(a) values of wet noodles decreased but yellowness(b) increased after addition of HM. The sensory qualities of HML, including appearance, taste, color, flavor, texture, and overall acceptability, were better than those of control noodles. Addition of HM to 0.6%(w/w) afforded the best sensory qualities with respect to taste, texture, and overall acceptability. The total polyphenol content of HML increased as HM concentration increased. Noodle DPPH free-radical-scavenging activities were 22%(control), 28.41%(0.3%HM addition), 40.22%(0.6%HM addition) and 49.42%(0.9%HM addition). Viable bacterial cell counts did not differ significantly between control noodles and those prepared using 0.6%(w/w)HM during storage for 6day sat $10^{\circ}C$. However, viable cell numbers in noodles prepared using 0.9%(w/w) HM were significantly lower than those of control samples and of noodles prepared using either 0.3%(w/w) or 0.6%(w/w) HM, during storage for 12 days at $10^{\circ}C$. Changes in pH values showed trends similar to those of viable cell numbers during storage.

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.

Wet noodles with different percentages of amaranth powder were prepared and their cooking characteristics were evaluated. The cooking quality, mechanical textural properties, and a sensory evaluation was conducted with the prepared noodles. Cooked noodle properties, weight, and volume decreased as amaranth content of the wheat flour increased, whereas turbidity and water absorption of the soup increased, except for cooked noodles with 30% amaranth. The L-value of the raw and cooked noodles decreased significantly with increasing amaranth powder content. The a- and b-values increased with increasing amounts of added amaranth powder. The L-value of the raw and cooked noodles with amaranth was significantly lower than that of the control, and the a-value was lower than that of the control, whereas the b-value was higher than that of the control for both raw and cooked noodles. A texture profile analysis of the raw noodles showed significantly higher levels of hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and springiness in the amaranth noodles compared to those in the control; the values for adhesiveness were not significantly different. The hardness, gumminess, springiness, and chewiness of the cooked noodles decreased in proportion to the quantity of added amaranth. The springiness, adhesiveness, and cohesiveness of cooked noodles with amaranth decreased slightly. Overall, the results of a sensory evaluation revealed that the cooked noodles with amaranth had higher values than those of the control, except for overall acceptability. Amaranth added at a concentration of up to 30% increased brown color and the peculiar amaranth odor. In a sensory evaluation, cooked noodles with 20% amaranth powder were preferred more than the other noodles for overall acceptability.

This study investigated quality characteristics of wet noodles with addition of paprika powder prepared by different cultivars, freeze dried Special paprika powder (FDSP) and freeze dried Fiesta paprika powder (FDFP) at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% based on flour source, respectively. The wet noodles containing paprika powder exhibited higher values for cooked weight, volume, water absorption, and turbidity. When the amount of FDSP increased, the Hunter L (lightness) value of cooked noodles decreased but a (redness) value and b (yellowness) value increased. When the amount of FDFP increased, the Hunter L (lightness) and a (redness) value of cooked noodles decreased but b (yellowness) value increased. From textural properties measured by a texture analyzer, the noodles with paprika powder were significantly lower in hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness than those of 100% wheat noodle. The results of sensory evaluation of cooked noodles containing paprika powder indicated that the cooked noodles with 1.0% paprika powder showed the highest value.

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of Poria cocos powder on dough rheology and wet noodle quality. Poria cocos powder had considerably lower content of crude protein, crude fat and crude ash than those of wheat flour. Poria cocos powder had also much bigger particle size $(74.62\;{\mu}m)$ and larger surface area $(3884.13\;cm^2/g)$ than those of wheat flour. The peak, final viscosities and setback in amylograph increased with the increase of Poria cocos powder concentration. The water absorption and dough stability in farinograph increased with the increase of Poria cocos powder concentration. With the increase of Poria cocos powder, the L values decreased in wheat flour-Poria cocos powder blend and dough, but increased in wet noodles. The cooked weight and volume of cooked noodles decreased, but the turbidity of soup increased with the increase of Poria cocos powder concentration. The hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness and springiness of cooked noodles had the biggest values at 3% addition of Poria cocos powder, but the values decreased above that concentration. The sensory evaluation of cooked noodles showed that the wet noodles with high quality could be produced by $5{\sim}7%$ addition of Poria cocos powder.

We conducted this study to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of noodles combined with Cheongyang hot pepper juice (CPJ). The noodles were evaluated for cooking properties (weight, volume, water absorption, and turbidity), Hunter's color values, texture characteristics, sensory characteristics, capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, polyphenol contents, and antioxidant activity. The cooked weight, volume, and turbidity of the cooked treated noodles were not significantly different from the cooked control noodles but water absorption decreased. The Hunter's color L value of the cooked noodles was not significantly different between treatment types, but there was a significantly higher b value with increasing concentrations of CPJ. The texture characteristics (hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness) of the cooked treated noodles were not significantly different from the cooked control noodles. A sensory evaluation indicated that cooked noodles treated with 2% CPJ were significantly (p<0.05) better than the cooked control noodles. Capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, and polyphenol contents, and antioxidant activity were significantly (p<0.05) increased with increasing concentrations of CPJ. In conclusion, CPJ could be used as an ingredient to increase the sensory and antioxidant properties of wheat flour noodles without affecting their quality characteristics.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics and storage of noodle with added flowering cherry fruit powder. Wet noodles were prepared at concentration of 1, 2, and 3% (w/w) of the fruit based on flour weight. Moisture content of the noodles with or without flowering cherry fruit powder was 33.09~33.50%. Ca, K and Mg contents of flowering cherry fruit noodle were increasing at increasing concentrations of flowering cherry fruit 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 flowering cherry fruit powder, whereas a (redness) value increased. For mechanical characteristics of the noodles, adhesiveness of cooked noodle with flowering cherry fruit powder were higher than those of control. The pH of flowering cherry fruit noodle was lower than that of control during storage. Bacterial counts of wet noodle with flowering cherry fruit powders were lower than those of the control on the 10th day of storage at $5^{\circ}C$. From the sensory evaluation of 20's, texture, taste, and overall preference were not significantly different between the control and the fruit groups, but the color scores of 2% and 3% flowering cherry fruit noodle were significantly higher than that of 1% fruit noodle (p<0.05). In 40's sensory evaluation, color and overall preference scores of flowering cherry fruit noodle were significantly higher than those of control. In conclusion, the results of this study were suggested that the addition of flowering cherry fruit powder in combination with flour was tended to improve antimicrobial effects during storage when compared to control.

This purpose of this study was to investigate cooking characteristics of noodles prepared by adding 0, 2, 4 or 6 percent of Capsosiphon fulvescens to wheat flour containing konjac powder. Water binding capacity was significantly increased with increasing amounts of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Weight and volume of cooked noodles increased significantly in proportion with the amount of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Turbidity of the soup after cooking also increased with the addition of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Brightness(L) and redness(a) were decreased with addition of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Yellowness(b) increased. The color value of cooked noodles was decreased compared with that of wet noodles. Sensory evaluation scores revealed that cooked noodles with 4 percent addition group were highest in terms of color, flavor and overall acceptability. This study validates that addition of Amorphophallus konjac and 4 percent Capsosiphon fulvescens may improve functionality and preference of noodles.

This study was performed to examine the quality characteristics of red ginseng wet noodles prepared with additions of carrageenan, xanthan gum, or guar gum. The quality characteristics of the samples were estimated in terms of their general composition, color differences, cooking characteristics, textural attributes, sensory qualities, and microbial growth during storage. The results were as follows. Protein content was significantly decreased in the guar gum added group and ash content was significantly increased in the carrageenan added group (p<0.05). Lipid, water, and Na contents were not significant different among the groups. However, water binding capacity was significantly increased in the group with added xanthan gum. Over 10 weeks of storage, water contents did not differ significantly between the xanthan gum and guar gum added groups. In all the added gum groups, L- and a- values were significantly increased whereas b- values decreased (p<0.05). In texture profile analyses, chewiness, cohesiveness, hardness, and springiness were significantly increased in the carrageenan and xanthan gum added groups (p<0.05). According to sensory evaluations, surface color, red ginseng flavor, red ginseng taste, softness, chewiness, and overall acceptability were considered very good in the xanthan gum and guar gum added groups (p<0.05). Therefore, the red ginseng noodles containing xanthan gum and guar gum were deemed most preferable and presented the safest shelf-life during 10 weeks at -$10^{\circ}C$.
