This study investigated the quality of noodles containing different amounts of Ligularia fischeri powder (LFP). Noodles were prepared at ratios of 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7% LFP based on flour weight. Cooking quality, mechanical texture properties, and viscosity were measured, and a sensory evaluation was performed with the prepared noodles. Gelatinization points of the composite LFP-wheat flours increased. As measured via amylography, viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$, viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 minutes, and maximum viscosity values of samples decreased, as the LFP content increased. As increasing amounts of LFP were added, the L, a, and b values decreased while color values, weight, and volume of cooked noodles increased, as did the turbidity of the soup. With regard to textural characteristics, LFP additive increased hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness, while decreasing adhesiveness. Sensory evaluation showed that high quality cooked noodles could be produced by inclusion of 3% LFP.

In order to provide fundamental data on development of rice noodles, the quality characteristics of 10 kinds of commercial rice noodles were evaluated. Rice noodles were categorized into 3 groups for examination: 100% rice noodles with different shapes; round shape noodles with different rice contents; and noodles with different rice contents but smilar cooking method. Cooking properties, texture measurement, and sensory characteristics were evaluated. Frozen rice noodles and instant type of noodles made from composite flour of rice and wheat flour exhibited higher scores in overall acceptance. As for the form of noodle, round-shaped noodles seemed to be preferred in comparison to flat-shaped noodles. Generally, noodles with high texture scores of cohesiveness, adhesiveness, chewiness, resilience but not high score of hardness having smooth surface were preferred affecting overall acceptance scores. It appears that cooking methods and cooking time recommended by manufactures, noodle thickness and shape, packaging types such as frozen, refrigerated, and dried noodles were more influential than rice contents in aspects to the quality characteristics of the commercial rice noodle products in this study.

This study investigated the quality of rice noodles containing different amounts of mesangi (Capsosiphon fulvescens) powder. The noodles were prepared with ratios of 1.9, 3.8, and 5.7% (w/w) of mesangi powder based on the flour weight. The noodles containing mesangi powder had lower moisture contents compared to the control, while amounts of ash were higher than in the control. For the cooking properties of the noodles, weight, volume, and turbidity were significantly higher in the mesangi rice noodles than the control (p<0.0001). The mesangi rice noodles had lower L- and a- values than the control, and these values decreased with increasing amounts of mesangi powder while the b- value increased. Texture profile analysis of the cooked noodles showed significantly higher levels of hardness (p<0.0001) and adhesiveness (p<0.05) in the mesangi rice noodles compared to the control, while cohesiveness (p<0.05), springiness (p<0.05), and gumminess (p<0.0001) values were lower than those of the control. However, the values for hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and springiness were not significantly different among the mesangi rice noodle groups. The pH of the rice noodles gradually decreased over 8 days of storage time. The 3.8% mesangi rice noodles had lower total and fungus plate counts than the other noodles during 15${\sim}$24 days of storage. However, the 3.8% masangi noodles showed the highest overall acceptability score(p<0.05).

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.

Effects of Takju(Korean turbid rice wine) lees on noodle investigated by substituting Takju lees water extract powder for each 2% and 4% wheat flour in sample II and III, respectively. The lightness(L) of uncooked noodles was decreased, whereas that of cooked noodles was increased with increasing amount of extract added. Redness(a) and difference of total color(${\Delta}$E) were significantly increased according to the amount of extract added in uncooked and cooked noodles. Yellowness(b) of the noodles containing 2% Takju lees water extract powder was exhibited lowest values in uncooked and cooked noodles. In cooking property of noodles, turbidity of soup decreased in proportion to amount of extract added, 2% and 4% in sample II and III, respectively whereas the weight and volume of noodles were not significant than those of control. Tension of cooked noodle was highest in sample II and lowest in sample III. Texture profile analysis of cooked noodle showed an significant increase of hardness in addition of Takju lees water extract powder but not significant different in springiness, chewiness, adhesiveness. Cohesiveness was significantly lowest in sample II. The sensory evaluation showed that significant difference between noodles with 2% addition groups and control was not recognized but was recognized 4%. Therefore, based on cooking properties and sensory evaluation, Takiu lees water extract powder up to 4% could be substituted for wheat flour.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of noodles added with Rehmanniae Radix Preparata powder (RP). Wheat flour noodles were prepared with four levels of RP (0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5%). Moisture absorption of RP added noodles was somewhat greater than that of control. The turbidity of RP noodles decreased according to addition of RP. Hunter L (lightness) and b (yellowness) values of RP added noodles decreased according to addition of RP amount. Textural properties (measured by a texture analyzer), hardness, and springiness of RP noodles up to 5% were not significantly different from those of control. Antioxidant activity of RP added noodles increased according to addition of RP: $IC_{50}$ values of DPPH radical scavenging activity for raw noodles was 3.77 mg/g, whereas values of raw noodles with RP 2.5 and 7.5% were 3.69 mg/g and 2.47 mg/g, respectively. Polyphenol content increased according to addition of RP. Amylogram showed that RP addition increased initial gelatinization temperature, decreased breakdown, and reduced setback and consistency, which indicates protection against retrogradation. The sensory preference test revealed that cooked noodles with added 2.5% RP showed the highest scores for color, odor, taste, and overall preference. It is suggested that RP up to 2.5% could be substituted for wheat flour to improve noodle quality.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of dried noodles made of wheat flour with different concentrations of Dioscorea japonica flour. Cooking quality, mechanical texture properties and viscosity were measured, and sensory evaluation was performed with the prepared noodles. Water binding capacity, solubility and swelling power of the composite Dioscorea japonica flour-wheat flours were higher than those of pure wheat flour. Gelatinization points of the composite Dioscorea japonica flour-wheat flours were increased and initial viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$, viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 minutes and maximum viscosity of these composites were decreased, with increasing Dioscorea japonica flour content, as measured by amylograph. With increasing Dioscorea japonica flour content, L and b values were decreased, but a value was increased, for the color values, while weight and volume of the cooked noodles and turbidity of the soup were increased. For the textural characteristics, the addition of Dioscorea japonica flour increased the hardness and decreased the adhesiveness, cohesiveness and springiness. Overall, the noodles made with 10% Dioscorea japonica flour were preferred more than the other noodles, as tested by sensory evaluation.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of dried noodles when different concentrations of Lotus root powder were added to the wheat flour. The cooking quality, mechanical textural properties, and viscosity were measured, and a sensory evaluation was conducted with the prepared noodles. The gelatinization points of the composite Lotus root powder-wheat flours were shown to have increased and the viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$, viscosity at $95^{\circ}C$ after 15 minutes, and maximum viscosity values of those samples were reduced, as the Lotus root powder content was increased as measured via amylography. As increasing amounts of Lotus root powder were added, the L and b values were reduced, and the color values, weight, and volume of the cooked noodles increased, as did the turbidity of the soup. With regard to the textural characteristics, the Lotus root powder additive increased hardness and reduced adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and springiness. Overall, the noodles prepared with 15% Lotus root powder were preferred more than the other noodles, according to the results of our sensory evaluation.

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the quality properties of noodles added with germinated non-waxy (Saesalbori) and waxy (Saechalbori) barley flours at concentrations of 10%, 20% and 30% to wheat flour. The quality characteristics of the samples were assessed for color, cooking characteristics (water absorption, volume increase of noodles and turbidity of cooking water), texture profile analysis (TPA) and sensory evaluation. Regarding the cooking properties of the noodles, adding waxy barley flour did not affect cooking yield and volume increase significantly(p<0.05), but noodles added with germinated Saesalbori at level of 10% had the lowest values of cooking yield and volume increase. Adding both types of flour increased the turbidity of the noodle soups. There was a common downward trend in $L^*$ and $b^*$ values and upward trend in $a^*$ value when increasing the level of barley used progressively. Adding germinated Saechalbori decreased the hardness, springiness and gumminess of noodles but did not cause any change in cohesiveness significantly while adding germinated Saesalbori decreased all the TPA parameters of the samples. Furthermore, the sensory analysis results showed that cooked noodles with 10% added germinated barley had no significantly different overall acceptance from the control sample. 20% substitution still resulted in acceptable sensory qualities. However treatment with both the substituted flours up to 30% was shown to cause unpleasant sensory qualities of noodles.

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.
