We investigated the physical and cooking properties of commercial noodles supplemented with functional ingredients. RVA (rapid visco analyzer), color, water activity, texture and cooking properties were tested. Noodles containing kudzu showed the highest initial gelatinization temperatures, whereas noodle containing kelp displayed the highest peak viscosity and set back. Holding strength and final viscosity were highest in noodles containing mugwort. The L value ($94.89{\pm}0.02$) of wheat flour noodle was the highest. Among functional noodles, L value ($88.65{\pm}0.01$) and a value ($7.42{\pm}0.02$) of cactus noodle were the highest, whereas b value of pumpkin noodle was $40.81{\pm}0.03$, which was higher value than in other noodles. Water activity of cactus noodle was highest (0.455), but the difference was not significant. Cooking properties (including weight, volume, and water absorption) and turbidity of pumpkin noodles showed the highest growth rate. In terms of texture, hardness was highest ($12836.8{\pm}7.1g/cm^2$) in green tea noodles, and cohesiveness and gumminess were highest in kelp and mugwort noodles. Considerig the quality characteristics of noodles supplemented with mulberry leaves, cactus, mugwort, green tea, pumpkin, kelp or kudzu, pumpkin noodles were most stable in terms of gelatinization and cooking properties.

The mechanical models representing the theological property of traditional Korean noodles; i.e. wheat flour noodle and wheat-sweet potato starch noddle, were investigated from the data obtained by creep and creep recovery test using a tensile tester. The rheological behavior of the noodle products could be expressed by the 6-elements Voigt model. The instantaneous elasticity, retarded elasticity, retardation time, retarded viscosity and Newtonian viscosity of the noodle products were evaluated. With the increasing cooking time, 4-elements Burger's model was applicable to represent the mechanical behavior of wheat-sweet potato starch noodle.

Wet noodles with different percentages of Curcuma Ionga L. powder(CLP) as an additive were generated and their cooking characteristics were evaluated. Wheat flour with 8% CLP had the highest water binding capacity and breakdown, while setback was reversed. Cooked noodle characteristics, weight, volume and tensile strength decreased as CLP content of wheat flour increased, but turbidity of the soup was reversed. L value of wet noodles was higher than cooked noodles, while b value, and texture of wet noodles were lower than cooked noodles. Hunter color value and texture measurements demonstrated decreasing L value, springiness and cohesiveness but increasing b value, hardness, gumminess and chewiness with increasing CLP content. In sensory evaluations, noodles made with 4% CLP were most highly preferred, while noodles made with 2% and 8% CLP were less preferred than CLP-free prepared 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.

This study investigated the physicochemical characteristics of Korean wheat flour substituted for 0%, 15%, 30%, 45%, and 60% durum rimachinata wheat in order to develop a Korean wheat pasta suitable for consumer-preferred soft textures. The particles of Korean wheat that were less than 250 ${\mu}M$ were 87.03% of all particles, while 68.7% of durum rimachinata had particles more than 250 ${\mu}M$ in size. Durum rimachinata had more protein (13.84${\pm}$0.03) and ash (0.70${\pm}$0.02) than Korean wheat. In farinograph characteristics, water absorption, development time, stability, and weakness increased as the amounts of substituted Korean wheat flour increased. Also, the gelatinization characteristics of the amylograph exhibited an increase of gelatinization temperature and decrease in maximum viscosity. However, maximum viscosity was shown to be more than 550 B.U. until 30% of the substitution level of Korean wheat flour to durum rimachinata wheat. Also, it did not affect the texture of the noodle product. We could make pasta with softness and springiness with less than a 15% substitution level of Korean wheat flour due to similar characteristics in cooking properties such as weight, volume, water absorption, turbidity, and cooking loss when compared to the control. L and a values increased, and the b value decreased in color as substitution amounts of Korean wheat flour increased. The hardness and adhesiveness of cooking noodles was shown to be a low value at more than a 30% substitution level of Korean wheat flour, and springiness, gumminess, and chewiness all exhibited high values. In a sensory evaluation, overall acceptability was shown to have the highest score in control. More than 30% of substitution of Korean wheat flour showed high preferences. Therefore, 15% of the substitution level of Korean wheat flour could be adapted in dough and cooking properties for making pasta-substituted Korean wheat. However, a texture analyzer and sensory evaluation of cooked pasta was shown to have a good quality at more than 30% substitution level of Korean wheat flour.

The study was to investigate the quality of wet noodle added with the powder green tea. The wet noodles were prepared to the ratio of 1, 2, 3, 5, 7.5 and 10% (w/w) of the powder green tea based on a flour weight. The initial pasting temperature in an amylograph was increased as the increase of the powder green tea, while peak and final viscosity as the increase decreased. The weight and volume of cooked noodles were decreased, and turbidity of soup was increased with the addition of the powder green tea. L and a values of wet noodles were decreased with the addition of the powder green tea, and b value was increased. Texture profile analysis of cooked noodle showed a increase of hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, chewiness up to 2% powder green tea, but decreased from 3% power green tea. However, adhesiveness decreased as the increase of the powder green tea. From the sensory evaluation, the wet noodles included 1% powder green tea were similarly evaluated as the noodle used whole wheat flour.

We investigated noodles supplemented with functional ingredients for their antioxidant properties, including total phenol, flavonoid contents, electron donating, nitrite scavenging abilities and ferrous ion chelating effect. The total polyphenol contents of functional noodles arranged in order of decreasing concentration were kudzu (7.98%) > green tea (4.99%) > pumpkin (5.03%) > mulberry leaves (4.99%) > mugwort (4.23%) > cactus (3.57%) > kelp (3.33). The total flavonoid contents in green tea noodles were the highest as 4.35%. The electron donating ability in mugwort noodle was the highest as 12.27% at 1,000 ppm. This amount was 4.85 times than that of wheat flour noodle (2.53%). The nitrite scavenging ability of functional noodles at pH 1.2 arranged in order of decreasing concentration were green tea (66.52%) > cactus (55.12%) > kudzu (52.67%) > pumpkin (50.50%) > mulberry leaves (43.58%) > kelp (41.41%) > mugwort (37.66). The nitrite-scavenging ability of green tea noodle was lower than ascorbic acid (natural antioxidant) 77.83%, while that of green tea noodle was similar with BHT (artificial antioxidant) 69.45%. The ferrous ion chelating effect of noodles containing kelp were the highest as 27.02%. All of the experimental results showed good antioxidant property. Thus, noodles supplemented with mulberry leaves, cactus, mugwort, green tea, pumpkin, kelp or kudzu, demonstrated to have good functional effects for human health.

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.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate appropriate concentrations of Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder, which has various functions, to dried wheat flour noodles. The viscosity of the composite flour and cooking quality of the noodle samples were measured, and sensory evaluations were conducted in this study. When measured by the amylograph, the composite flour had lower viscosity in the gelatinization points, maximum viscosity, and viscosity at a temperature of $95^{\circ}C$ than those of control. However, the gap between the maximum viscosity and viscosity after 15 minutes at a temperature of $95^{\circ}C$ was not great among all of the samples. While cooked noodles containing H. cordata Thunb. powder had lower weight and lower volume than those of control, the weight of two cooked noodle samples with 0.5% and 1.5% of H. cordata Thunb. powder was insignificantly different. Cooked noodles had higher concentrations of H. cordata Thunb. powder; therefore, the L value of cooked noodles decreased, while a and b color values of the noodles increased. Color, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability of the samples with H. cordata Thunb. powder were lower than those of wheat flour noodles via sensory evaluation. In the overall acceptability, however, samples with 0.5% and 1.5% of H. cordata Thunb. powder were insignificantly different from control. As a result, it was finally suggested that optimum level of the H. cordata Thunb. powder in the product was below 0.5%.

The rheological properties of wheat flours and corn starch and cooking properties of dry noodle in the presence of calcium phosphate hydroxyapatite(Ca-P) were studied. The additive($0.2{\sim}0.8%$) had essentially no effects on farinograms of strong and all-purpose wheat flours, however, they decreased the amylograph pasting temperature and increased the peak viscosity of flours, which was more pronounced in all-purpose flour. The cooking properties of dry noodles in the presence or absence of the Ca-P showed no significant differences, but the cutting forces of cooked noodles were increased by Ca-P at 0.4%. The pasting properties of corn starch in the presence of Ca-P($0.2{\sim}0.8%$) were similar to those of wheat flour. The gelatinization temperature of corn starch by differential scanning calorimeter decreased by $1^{\circ}C$ in the presence of 0.4% Ca-P. The time constant, a reciprocal of rate constant, of corn starch gel was slightly increased in the presence of 0.2 or 0.4% Ca-P.
