To promote the consumption of race, comparative study was performed on characteristics of wheat flour noodle mixed with brown rice flour and colored rice flour. Protein content of colored rice was higher than that of the brown rice, but lipid and ash contents were similar to those of brown rice. Colored rice flour had significantly lower peak viscosity, holding viscosity, breakdown viscosity, final viscosity and setback viscosity than those of wheat flour, while brown rice had significantly higher peak viscosity, breakdown viscosity and setback viscosity than those of colored rice flour and wheat flour. Colored rice and brown rice had 5.3~6.4% total dietary fiber, and the proportions of soluble fiber in total dietary fiber were quite low, ranging from 9.4% to 18.8%. L(brightness), a(redness) and b(yellowness) of raw noodles were measured using a colorimeter. L(brightness) and b(yellowness) values of Asian raw noodles made from colored rice and brown rice significantly decreased. Addition of colored rice flour and brown rice flour to Asian noodle reduces cutting forces of dry and cooked noodles. The cooked noodle with 10% chalheukmi waxy rice flour was the highest in the cutting force of cooked noodle. Addition of 20% chalheukini waxy rice flour and 20% brown rice flour to wheat flour was got to a relatively high score for appearance, color, texture, taste and overall eating quality from sensory evaluation of cooked noodles.
