The noodle market has been worldwide expanding by the rising tide of the convenience food trend and various consumer acceptances. With this trend, a great deal of effort had been made to enhance the quality attributes of instant noodles to satisfy the demand of current consumers. In this presentation, two primary topics related to the quality attributes of noodles are discussed – production of non‐wheat noodles slit from sheeted dough and reduction of noodle cooking times. First, corn proteins were utilized to form a viscoelastic protein network of non‐wheat dough and their rheological and structural properties were characterized to prepare the noodles slit from sheeted dough. The extended β‐sheet alignment imparted high mixing stability to the non‐wheat dough that could be successfully sheeted and slit to noodle strands without gluten. Second, a novel thermal technology based on the modified transient plane source method was applied in order to characterize the cooking property of instant noodles. The porous structure of wheat‐based noodles was also built up to shorten their cooking times. After cooked, the porous‐structured noodles exhibited higher thermal conductivity and lower firmness, possibly indicating the shortened cooking time. 19

This study compared recipes of Korean Traditional steamed dishes, Noodles, Rice cake & Confectionary in Choi’s Recipe (「Choi’s Eumsikbeop」) with those in other literatures written during the mid-Joseon Dynasty. Through this work, it aimed to explore the value of Choi’s Recipe (「Choi’s Eumsikbeop」) in the history of cooking and the meanings of its recipes. Choi’s Recipe (「Choi’s Eumsikbeop」) contains recipes for a total of 20 kinds of food. Specifically, there are seven kinds of Fermented dishes (kimchi (6), and salted fermented food (1)), four kinds of Steamed dishes, seven kinds of Confectionary and Sweet (rice cake (4), jeonggwa (1), and dang (2)), and two kinds of Noodles (dumpling (1), and noodle (1)). Among them, the steamed dishes revealed characteristics of 17th-century food as in other cooking books, and some of them utilized unique ingredients handed down only through head families. Moreover, some recipes showed different cooking methods using similar materials. This suggests the originality of the recipes in this cooking book.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of wet noodles as well as their cooking properties following the addition of peanut sprout extract (PSE) and powder (PSP), which are known to contain a significant level of resveratrol. Wet noodles were prepared with 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% PSE and PSP. Quality characteristics such as increasing volume of noodle, water ratio, turbidity of cooking water and color, texture, and sensory evaluation were then assessed. Additionally, the total resveratrol content in the cooked noodles was analyzed by HPLC and DPPH free radical scavenging capacity. As the amount of PSE and PSP increased, the L value of wet and cooked noodles significantly decreased, whereas the a and b values increased (p<0.001). The L value of cooked noodles was significantly lower compared to wet noodles (p<0.001) whereas the a and b values were higher. For the cutting intensity properties of the cooked noodles, hardness was reduced with increasing amounts of PSE (p<0.001), and was significantly increased in proportion to the amount of PSP (p<0.05). Meanwhile, springiness was not significantly different in all groups. Total resveratrol content and free radical scavenging activity significantly increased in proportion to the amounts of PSE and PSP (p<0.001), especially in noodles containing 5%, 7.5% and 10% PSE and PSP. Finally, sensory evaluation of PSE noodle revealed that color, flavour, taste were significantly decreased (p<0.05). But there was no difference in overall acceptance among cooked noodles with 2.5% to 5% PSE comparison to the control. Sensory characteristics in the PSP noodle showed similar results. In conclusion, these findings suggest that peanut sprout extract and powder could be potentially used as functional food ingredients. In addition, up to 5% PSE and PSP can be substituted for wheat flour.

Noodles have been a part of our diet for a long time. In Asia, white-salted, Cantonese and instant fried types of noodles are widely consumed. White-salted noodles, also called Udon noodles, are consumed as wet or dried form. White-salted noodles are deeply favored in Korea and Japan and more consumption of Cantonese noodles are observed in other Asian countries. The quality attributes of white-salted noodles are predominantly dependant by wheat flour components, such as starch, protein and pigments, as wheat flour, water and salt are main raw materials of white-salted noodles. In several studies, the ratio between amylose and amylopectin is a key determinant of textural properties of white-salted noodles; hardness of white-salted noodles did have a significant (p<0.05) increase when amylose content in wheat flour was increased. The textural properties of white-salted noodles was not affected much by the protein content, especially protein content of flour was in the range of 10% ~ 13%. It seems that starch plays more important role than protein in the textural properties of white-salted noodles. Carotenoids and flavonoids pigment are major contributors of color of white-salted noodles.

This study compared the texture characteristics and consumer acceptance of cooked wheat noodles produced in four countries, which were Korea, Japan, China, and Italy. Noodle types were selected after FGI (focus group interview). Eleven noodles were studied, and they were categorized into four types: udon, fried udon, oriental noodles of various thickness, and pasta. Color was measured as L (lightness), a (redness), and b (yellowness) values using a colorimeter. Lightness decreased when noodles were cooked, whereas redness and yellowness of cooked noodles were unchanged. Texture properties of wheat noodles in terms of hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, and chewiness were measured using the Rheometer. Italian spaghetti (spgt_IL), Korean fried udon (yk_udng_KR) had highest values for hardness. Korean udon had the highest value for springiness, whereas Chinese medium noodle (mid_CN) had the lowest value (p<0.05). Chinese thick noodle (thick_CN) and fettuccine (fettc_IL) showed lower hardness but higher springiness. Cohesiveness was significantly higher for Japanese udon (udng_JP), Chinese medium noodle (mid_CN), and Chinese thick noodle (thick_CN), whereas values for Korean thin noodle (thin_KR) and Korean fried noodle (yk_udng_KR) were significantly low (p<0.05). Spaghetti (spgt_IL) showed significantly high values for chewiness (p<0.05). For overall acceptability, thick Korean noodle showed the highest score with a level of 'slightly like'. Taste and texture attributes were highest among all noodles, and its high scores for chewiness and smoothness might contribute to its overall acceptance. Korean thick noodle, Korean udon, and Japanese udon were not significantly different from Korean or Japanese thin noodles. Japanese fried noodle (yk_udng_JP) showed the lowest acceptance among noodles in terms of color, flavor, taste, and texture. Chinese thick and medium noodles showed lower scores for overall acceptability, whereas chewiness was not significantly different from other noodles. Spaghetti and fettuccine showed lower scores in terms of overall acceptability, taste, texture, springiness, and chewiness.

The quality characteristics of noodles made from domestic Korean wheat flour added with 0, 1, 3, 5% cactus Chounnyuncho (Opuntia humifusa) powder were investigated. The water absorption and peak time of dough, as determined by farinography, increased with higher cactus powder content. Stability and elasticity of dough decreased as fermentation proceeded. Cooking characteristics of noodles made from dough such as weight, water absorption, and volume decreased with higher cactus powder content. The turbidity of cooked water increased significantly with 5% cactus powder content. For color test, L-value decreased while a-value and b-value increased with higher cactus powder content. In texture analyses, hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, and gumminess increased with higher cactus powder content. In the sensory test, noodles containing 3% cactus powder were the most preferred.

Korean foods have the strengths to addresssome of the health problems of modern man. To assess the properties of Korean noodles, daily value %, DVS, DDS and energy density were compared between many kinds of noodles from around the world. Using a variety of reference materials, a nutritional database of noodles was built for this study. For carbohydrate, lipid, vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin C, niacin, zinc, and copper, the daily values % of western noodles were significantly higher. Also, the serving size of Korean noodles was significantly small. Comparing the average energy density of the noodles, they showed 1.87±0.93 kcal/g (Korean noodles), 2.42±1.08 kcal/g (western noodles) and 1.84±0.84 kcal/g (other noodles). The dietary fiber, polyphenols, and flavonoids content of the noodles showed no significant difference. Neither DVS nor DDS showed a statistically significant difference. In the Korean noodles, the GMDFV pattern showed a diverse choice of food groups. Korean noodles show a lower energy density, and the small serving size to have favorable for the prevention of obesity. Thus, Korean noodles are an excellent choice in terms of diversity and energy density.

셀룰로오스 에테르의 분자량, 첨가량, 치환도 및 치환체 종류, 물 양이 쌀면의 조리특성에 주는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 자외선 가시광선 분광분석기를 이용하여 조리 후 쌀면 국물 탁도 를 측정하고 유변물성 측정기를 이용하여 쌀면의 압축강도를 측정하였다. HPMC의 분자량 및 물 양이 증가할수록 국물의 탁도가 감소하여 조리 시 쌀면의 형태안정성이 향상되었고, 셀룰로오스 에테르 첨가량, 치환체 종류, 치환도에 따라 탁도 값이 변화하여, 이들 인자 모두가 쌀면의 형태안정성에 영향을 준다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 이들 인자를 효과적으로 조절할 경우, 밀면을 조리한 국물의 탁도보다 낮은 탁도값이 얻어져 셀룰로오스 에테르의 첨가에 따라 조리 시 쌀면의 형태안정성이 크게 향상됨을 확인하였다. 유변물성 측정기를 이용한 쌀면의 압축특성 측정은 조리시간에 따른 쌀면의 호화정도 및 변화하는 조직감을 살펴보는 데 효과적이였으며, 물 양 및 셀룰로오스 에테르의 분자량이 다른 인자들에 비하여 조리시간 별 쌀면의 호화특성 및 조직감에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

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 95oC, viscosity at 95oC 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.

본 연구는 2010 국민건강영양조사 원시자료에서 식품섭취 조사를 실시한 대상자 8,019명 중 19~64세 연령의 성인 대상 자 4,556명(56.8%)의 원자료를 이용하여 19~64세 성인의 상 용음식(밥류, 면․만두류, 국․탕류, 찌개류) 1인 1회 섭취분 량에 대한 정보를 제공하고, 2005년 국민건강영양조사자료 를 이용하여 설정된 기존자료와의 비교를 통하여 한국 성인 의 주요 상용음식의 1인 1회 섭취분량의 변화 패턴을 알아보 고자 하였다. 밥류 중 가장 높은 섭취빈도를 보인 것은 쌀밥 이었고, 1인 1회 섭취분량은 265 ㎖로 2005년 자료로부터 설 정된 250 ㎖와 유사하였다. 두 번째로 높은 섭취 빈도를 보인 것은 잡곡밥으로 3,472의 빈도로 거의 흰쌀밥에 가까운 섭취 빈도였고, 1회 1회 섭취분량은 250 ㎖였다. 면․만두류 중 가 장 섭취빈도가 높은 음식은 라면이었고, 1인 1회 섭취분량은 500 ㎖로 기존에 설정된 400 ㎖에 비하여 25.0%의 증가를 보 였다. 칼국수와 짬뽕은 2005년 설정량에 비하여 40% 이상의 감소를 보였다. 국․탕류에서는 콩나물국의 섭취빈도가 가장 높았고, 가장 높은 섭취빈도를 보인 국은 콩나물국의 1인 1회 섭취분량은 250 ㎖로 기존 설정량과 동일하였다. 상용 음식 으로 설정된 39종의 국 종류에서 기존 설정량과 항목이 일치 하는 28종 중 11종이 1인 1회 섭취분량의 감소가 보였다. 섭 취 빈도가 가장 높은 찌개류는 된장찌개였고, 1인 1회 섭취분 량은 125 ㎖로 기존 설정량(175 ㎖)에 비하여 28.6%의 감소를 보였다. 다음으로 섭취빈도가 높은 찌개류인 김치찌개의 1인 1회 섭취분량은 200 ㎖로 기존의 섭취분량(250 ㎖)에 비하여 20.0%의 감소를 보였다. 이상의 결과에서 2010년 국민건강영 양조사 자료로부터 설정된 1인 1회 섭취분량은 밥류의 경우 큰 변화가 없었으며, 섭취빈도가 높은 주요 국과 찌개의 경우 는 감소, 면류의 경우 라면은 증가, 칼국수와 짬뽕의 경우는 감소를 나타내었다. 이러한 변화는 한국 성인 상용식품의 1 인 1회 섭취분량이 조금씩 변화되고 있음을 보여주고, 국과 찌개류 섭취량의 감소 추세는 나트륨의 저감화 정책 차원에 서 바람직한 변화로 사료된다.

This study examined the effect of the molecular weight, substitution degree, and substitution type of cellulose ether on the mechanical properties of dried rice noodles. When increasing the molecular weight of the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), the bending strength of the dried rice noodles also increased. However, the bending strength of the rice noodles with added HPMCs was still lower than that of the wheat noodles. Meanwhile, the bending elongation of the dried rice noodles was higher than that of the wheat noodles and was increased when decreasing the molecular weight of the HPMC. In conclusion, the bending strength and elongation of dried rice noodles is affected by the substitution degree and type of cellulose ether.

본 연구에서는 한국, 중국, 일본 등의 대표적 면요리 육수의 항산화 활성을 검토하였다. 이를 위하여, 한국식, 중국식, 일본식 육수를 각각 제조하여, ESR과 비색법을 이용하여 DPPH, hydroxyl, peroxyl, superoxide, ABTS 등의 radical 소거 활성을 측정함으로써 항산화력을 비교하였다. 한국식 육수, 중국식 육수 및 일본식 육수의 DPPH radical 소거 활성은 2 ㎎/㎖의 농도의 실험에서 2.78%, 25.37% 및 40.74%의 소거 활성을 보였다. 한국식 및 중국식 육수는 hydroxyl radical 소거 활성은 매우 낮았으나, 일본식 육수는 0.5 ㎎/㎖에서 59.06%로 소거활성이 높았다. 한국식, 중국식 및 일본식 육수의 peroxy radical소거 활성(IC50)은 각각 0.121 ㎎/㎖, 0.222 ㎎/㎖ 및 0.013 ㎎/㎖으로 일본식 육수가 peroxy radical 소거 활성이 높았다. 한국식, 중국식 및 일본식 육수의 ABTS radical 소거 활성의 IC50 값은 1.2 ㎎/㎖, 1.8 ㎎/㎖ 및 1.249 ㎎/㎖였다.

The effects of barnyard millet (Echinochloa spp.) content (10～30%) on wheat flour dough and noodle properties were investigated. As the amount of barnyard millet increased, the particle size and ash content of mixed flour increased, while lightness tended to decrease. The gelatinization characteristics of millet flour showed higher peak viscosity, holding strength, final viscosity, and setback compared with wheat flour. There was significant positive correlation between protein content and sedimentation volume, as well as between protein content and water absorption. As the amount of barnyard millet increased, hardness, springiness and cohesiveness of wet noodles tended to decrease. From the results of sensory evaluation, composite flours (addition up to 20% barnyard millet) were rated with a quality score for taste and overall acceptance which was comparable with the control flour.

We conducted this study to investigate the quality characteristics of extruded noodles(EN) mixed with cereals. The EN were evaluated for cooking properties(weight, water absorption, volume, and turbidity), Hunter`s color values, texture characteristics, and sensory characteristics. The cooked weight, water absorption, and volume of the cooked EN were significantly decreased relative to that of control noodles, whereas the turbidity increased. Hunter`s color L- and b-value of EN were decreased compare with the control noodles, but a-value was increased. Hunter`s color L-value of cooked EN was increased, whereas a- and b-value was increased. The texture characteristics(hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness) of the cooked EN-2 and EN-3 were similar to the cooked control noodles. A sensory characteristics (appearance, flavor, texture during mastication, taste, and overall quality) of EN-1 were significantly decreased relative to that of control noodles, but EN-2 and EN-3 was not different to control noodles. As the results of this study indicate that extrusion processing could be used to make the EN mixed with cereals.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of dried noodles when different concentrations of Loquat (Eriobotyya japonica Lindley) leaf powder (LLP) were added to the wheat flour. The cooking quality, mechanical texture properties, and viscosity were measured, and a sensory evaluation was conducted with the prepared noodles. The gelatinization points of the composite LLP-wheat flours were shown to increase. As measured via amylograph, viscosity at 95℃, viscosity at 95℃ after 15 minutes, and maximum viscosity values of those samples decreased as the LLP content increased. As increasing amounts of LLP were added, the L and a values were reduced, whereas the b value was increased and the color values, weight, and volume of the cooked noodle increased, as did the turbidity of the soup. With regard to the textural characteristics, the LLP additive increased hardness and cohesiveness, and reduced adhesiveness and springiness. Overall, the noodles prepared with 5% LLP were preferred more than the others, according to the results of our sensory evaluation.

This study considered the whole intake patterns and realities of consumption of instant noodles on sales targeting children and adolescents. Based on a total of 1021 subjects, data from self-administrated questionnaires were collected and analyzed using comparative statistical analysis, including frequency, chi-square, t-test, and one-way ANOVA. Results of the study were as follows. The preference levels for instant noodles by children and adolescents were 5.25, thereby showing a more than moderate preference. Middle school boy students' preference for instant noodles was the highest. The main reason for preferring instant noodles was taste and convenience. The main reason for disliking instant noodles was poor nutrition and likelihood of becoming fat. The intake of instant noodles was the highest between lunch and dinner with a frequency of once to twice per week. Content of soup powder given taking instant noodles was the largest in having putted all. The soup quantity of being left given taking instant noodles was possessed the majority in almost not eating soup. The main reason for not consuming soup was being full or concerns for health. A significant difference was observed in preference level for instant noodles and in intake patterns depending on the respondents' general characteristics. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.

The main purpose of this study was to perform a literature review regarding bibimnaengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles mixed with sauce)-related recipes. To conduct this research, we analyzed recipe data published in Korea from the 1800's to the 1980's. The research was conducted by content analysis and literature review. The documents used in the research were 30 books (dictionaries and recipe books). A total of 37 bibimnaengmyeon-related recipes were identified. The results of the analysis of documented data published within the last 200 years showed two different types of main ingredients for bibimnaengmyeon-related recipes; noodles based on buckwheat flour, and noodles based on wheat flour. Additionally, the bibimnaengmyeon-related recipes were divided according to the sauce; 1) noodles mixed with red pepper sauce and 2) noodles mixed with soy sauce.

An isocratic high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for routine analysis of deoxynivalenol in noodles was validated and estimated the measurement uncertainty. Noodles (dried noodle and ramyeon) were analyzed by HPLC-ultraviolet detection using immunoaffinity column for clean-up. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 7.5 μg/kg and 18.8 μg/kg, respectively. The calibration curve showed a good linearity, with correlation coefficients r² of 0.9999 in the concentration range from 20 to 500 μg/kg. Recoveries and Repeatabilities expressed as coefficients of variation (CV) spiked with 200 and 500 μg/kg were 82 ± 2.7% and 87 ± 1.3% in dried noodle, and 97 ± 1.6% and 91 ± 12.0% in ramyeon, respectively. The uncertainty sources in measurement process were identified as sample weight, final volume, and sample concentration in extraction volume as well as components such as standard stock solution, working standard solution, 5 standard solutions, calibration curve,matrix, and instrument. Deoxynivalenol concentration and expanded uncertainty in two matrixes spiked with 200 μg/kg and 500 μg/kg were estimated to be 163.8 ± 52.1 and 435.2 ± 91.6 μg/kg for dried noodle, and 194.3 ± 33.0 and 453.2 ± 91.1 μg/kg for ramyeon using a coverage factor of two which gives a level of statistical confidence with approximately 95%. The most influential component among uncertainty sources was the recovery of matrix, followed by calibration curve.
