This purpose of this study was to investigate cooking characteristics of noodles prepared by adding 0, 2, 4 or 6 percent of Capsosiphon fulvescens to wheat flour containing konjac powder. Water binding capacity was significantly increased with increasing amounts of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Weight and volume of cooked noodles increased significantly in proportion with the amount of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Turbidity of the soup after cooking also increased with the addition of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Brightness(L) and redness(a) were decreased with addition of Capsosiphon fulvescens. Yellowness( b) increased. The color value of cooked noodles was decreased compared with that of wet noodles. Sensory evaluation scores revealed that cooked noodles with 4 percent addition group were highest in terms of color, flavor and overall acceptability. This study validates that addition of Amorphophallus konjac and 4 percent Capsosiphon fulvescens may improve functionality and preference of noodles.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the utilization of fish paste with added Capsosiphon fulvescens powder were 0, 3, 5, and 7%. The moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, crude ash and carbohydrate contents of the used Capsosiphon fulvescens powder were 8.5, 33.2% 1.1, 9.6, and 47.6%, respectively. For the Hunter color values, the L, a values of the fish paste decreased with increasing concentrations of Capsosiphon fulvescens powder. The b values of the fish paste appreciation with increasing concentrations of Capsosiphon fulvescens powder. And the folding test which represent the flexibility of the fish paste, all test samples showed AA. In the texture meter test, the hardness, strength, cohesiveness, and springiness increased according to increasing concentrations of Capsosiphon fulvescens powder. However, the gumminess and brittleness of the fish paste reduced by the addition of Capsosiphon fulvescens powder. In the sensory evaluation, color and taste of the fish paste were preferred 5% Capsosiphon fulvescens powder and the fish paste prepared with 5% Capsosiphon fulvescens powder were preferred over other fish pastes. These results suggest that Capsosiphon fulvescens powder can be applied to fish paste for the purpose of high quality and functionality.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Capsosiphon fulvescens powder on the functional and sensory characteristics of dumpling shell. Various dumpling shell samples were prepared with wheat flour along with the addition of different amounts of Capsosiphon fulvescens powder, and then instrumental characteristics and sensory evaluations were investigated. According to amylograph data, the composite Capsosiphon fulvescens powder-wheat flour samples had increased gelatinization temperatures with increasing Capsosiphon fulvescens powder content; whereas initial viscosity at 95oC, viscosity at 95oC after 15minutes, and maximum viscosity were reduced. In terms of Hunter's color values, L, a and b values decreased with increasing Capsosiphon fulvescens powder content. Besides cooked weight, cooked volume and turbidity of dumpling shell increased as the addition level of Capsosiphon fulvescens powder increase. In terms of textural characteristics, addition of Capsosiphon fulvescens powder increased springiness, chewiness, brittleness, pringiness and adhesiveness. Based on sensory evaluations, the overall preference of dumpling shell with 3% added Capsosiphon fulvescens powder, was more effective than control.
