The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of dried wheat flour noodles made with different concentrations of added shrimp powder, for use in elderly foodservice operations. The cooking quality, mechanical textural properties, and viscosity of the noodle samples were measured, and sensory evaluations were conducted with the prepared noodles. As measured by an amylograph, the gelatinization points of the composite shrimp powderwheat flour noodles increased, whereas viscosity at 95$^{\circ}$C, viscosity at 95$^{\circ}$C after 15 minutes, and maximum viscosity values decreased, with increasing shrimp powder content L and b color values were reduced, and the a value increased, with increasing amounts of shrimp powder, Also, greater concentrations of shrimp powder caused increases in the weight and volume of cooked noodles as well as the turbidity of the soup. With regard to the textural characteristics, the shrimp powder additive increased hardness and reduced adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and springiness. Overall, according to the sensory evaluation results, the noodles prepared with 15% shrimp powder were more preferred than the other samples.
