The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of noodles with added Polygonati odoratum powder. Noodles' water binding capacity increased with increasing amounts of Polygonati odoratum powder. Solubility and swelling power increased with the temperature increasing proportionally to the amounts of added Polygonati odoratum powder. The gelatinization time decreased with increasing of Polygonati odoratum powder. The rate of weight increase and water absorption of cooking noodles decreased with increasing Polygonati odoratum powder. But the turbidity of the soup increased. With increasing Polygonati odoratum powder, L-values were shown to decrease and a and b value were increased. The results of sensory evaluation were that noodles containing under 5% Polygonati odoratum powder were rated as high-quality noodles.
