Noodlesare classified into guksoo (noodle), naengmyeon, dangmyeon, instant fried noodle, pasta, and other noodles in Korean food code. The main ingredients of Asian noodles are wheat, rice, and buckwheat and starches from potato, sweet potato, mung bean and pulses. The people in northeast Asia countries, Korea, China, and Japan have been eaten hand‐elongated and cut noodles, but rice noodles with pregelatinization are most commonly used in the cuisines ofSoutheast Asia. Pasta is made from semolina (durum wheat) by extrusion.For most Japanese and Korean, the preferred textural properties of boiled regular salted noodles are soft and elastic with a smooth surface. Most Chinese, however prefer noodles with firm, elastic, and chewy texture. Rice noodles have not functionality of wheat gluten in forming continuous viscoelastic dough. There are two main methods used for the production of rice noodles: extrusion, which is used to produce vermicelli types; and sheeting of a rice flour batter, which is used to produce sheet and flat noodles. To develop the white salted rice noodle prepared from dry milled rice flour after drying with soaked rice grains, transglutaminase, propylene glycol alginate, adequate water and protein source were added to form gluten‐like network matrix and to entrap starch granules inside of protein matrices. The color and cooking behavior of noodle dough, and texture and sensory test of cooked noodles were investigated. The soy protein, mung bean protein, and silkworm protein helped to form a gluten‐like matrix crosslinked with rice protein. Propylene glycol alginate contributed smooth and elastic texture and reduced the cooking loss, in contrast with gelatinized and extruded rice noodles.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of dried noodles prepared with strawberry powder in order to determine the most preferred noodle recipe for children’s school meals. The proximate composition of strawberry powder used was as follows: moisture, 3.39%; crude protein, 1.53%; crude lipid, 0.97%; crude ash, 0.82%; and carbohydrates, 93.29%. When viscosity of the composite strawberry powder-wheat flours was measured by amylograph. Gelatinization point, maximum viscosity, viscosity at 95oC and viscosity at 95oC after 15 min decreased as the level of strawberry powder increased. As the level of strawberry powder increased, both L and b color values decreased, whereas a value increased. Weight, water absorption and volume of cooked noodles decreased, whereas turbidity of soup increased. For textural properties, addition of strawberry powder to cooked noodles reduced hardness, chewiness and brittleness. Overall preference according to the results of the sensory evaluation, noodles added with 6% strawberry powder were the most preferred. According to the results, the addition of strawberry powder can positively affect the overall sensory evaluation of dried noodles, and 6% is the optimal level for addition.

The overconsumption of dietary salt is recognized to play a negative effect on human health such as increasing blood pressure. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of hydrolyzed anchovy products (HAP) on the salty taste of dried noodle. The physicochemical properties and sensory test of dried noodle were determined at different concentrations of HAP. The lightness of the noodle samples was decreased with increasing levels of HAP whereas their redness and yellowness were increased. There were no significant changes in hardness and texture properties by HAP concentration, compared to those of the control. From the sensory evaluation, the 25% and 50% HAP samples showed a high score on saltiness, preferredness, and overall taste acceptability. Consequently, the HAP could be utilized in dried noodles or cooked noodles as a salt enhancer without significantly altering the charateristics of noodles.

초고압 처리에 의한 메밀 반죽의 변화를 반죽의 미세 구조, 열 특성 평가, 조직감 측정을 통하여 확인하였다. 초고압 처리 강도와 시간에 따라 메밀 반죽 내 미세 구조를 관찰 시, 압력의 강도와 처리 시간이 증가함에 따라 전분의 호화가 일어나며 조밀한 구조를 가지게 되었다. 이러한 현상은 메밀 반죽의 조직감에 영향을 미쳐 압력이 증가함에 따라 탄성, 부착성, 씹힘성을 감소시키고 압력 처리 시간을 달리하였을 때 장시간 압력 처리에 따라 탄성, 씹힘성, 검성이 더 높은 값을 가짐을 확인하였다. 면의 끊어짐에 관련된 특성인 인장도는 소비자가 면을 섭취할 때 관능적 품질의 중요한 요소로서, 초고압 처리 시 글루텐을 함유하지 않는 메밀 반죽의 인장성을 나타내는 failure tensile distance를 증가시키는 결과를 얻었다. 따라서 메밀을 비롯한 다른 곡물을 활용한 gluten-free면 제품의 제조 시 초고압공정을 활용할 경우 기존 제품의 단점을 개선할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

건강기능성 물질을 함유하며 고유의 색과 향미를 가지는 유색감자 홍영 분말을 첨가한 반죽 및 면의 물리화학적 특성을 확인하였다. 홍영 미세 분말은 ball-milling을 통하여 제조하였으며, 매우 낮은 입자도로 인하여 감자의 세포 및 전분 구조가 파괴되어 손상 전분의 함량이 높았다. 이 같은 손상 전분은 낮은 온도에서 물을 흡수하고 팽창하는 성질이 높아 일반 분쇄를 통하여 얻은 분말로 제조한 반죽에 비하여 BM 분말을 반죽에 첨가하였을 때 탄성이 높고 자유수가 적은 반죽 및 면이 제조되었다. 입자 크기를 달리하여 분쇄한 홍영 분말의 경우 손상 전분이 아닌 첨가 분말의 표면적에 의하여 영향을 받으므로 입자 크기가 클수록 반죽 내의 자유수가 많아 열처리 시 더 많은 호화가 발생하였다. 홍영 분말을 첨가한 경우 홍영 특유의 붉은색이 증가함을 확인하였으며, 홍영 분말의 입자 크기가 커질수록 적색도가 감소하였다. 홍영 분말의 다양한 입자 크기에 따라 손상 전분의 발생 및 입자의 표면적에 의하여 서로 다른 호화 특성 및 면 반죽의 조직감을 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과를 통하여 미세 분말(BM)의 경우 손상 전분으로 인하여 생반죽의 탄성이 밀가루에 비하여 매우 높아 성형에 더 많은 힘이 필요함을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 미세 분말인 BM 분말과 다르게 생반죽의 성형이 용이하면서 홍영 특유의 붉은 색을 가장 잘 나타내며, 조리 이후 반죽의 탄성을 향상시키고 밀가루와 인장력에 유의차가 나타나지 않는 R1 및 R2 분말로 제조한 면이 우수한 품질을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 전분을 함유하는 대체 분말을 이용한 제면 제품의 개발 시 입자 크기의 결정에 대한 기반이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A study was conducted for optimization of the process for the manufacture of raw noodle added with leaf powderof Cirsium setidens Nakai, which is rich in various minerals and dietary fibers along with intrinsic antioxidativeproperties. The level of leaf powder, water content, and kneading time of the dough were selected as three majorfactors affecting quality of the product. Quality parameters of the product such as color, texture, water absorptionratio, volume, turbidity of cooking water, and sensory evaluation result were analyzed as dependent variables. D-optimum design of the complete RSM analyses was adopted for designing the optimum noodle manufacturing pro-cedure. Ranges of the independent variables as determined through preliminary experimental work were level of leafpowder, 2-9% (w/w, wheat flour); moisture content, 40-50%; and kneading time, 7-20 min. Within the given rangesof these independent variables, 18 experimental points included in four repetitive runs were obtained for the anal-yses. The optimum conditions that together satisfy the quality parameters of the raw noodle, as based on the numer-ical and graphical statistical analyses, were amount of leaf powder, 5.76%; water content, 42.52%; and kneadingtime 13.86 min. The complete RSM analysis for manufacture of the high quality raw noodle with an added ingre-dient is suitable for similar application to other products in the industry.

This study investigated the quality of noodles containing different amounts of Lagocephalus lunaris powder (LLP). Noodles were prepared at ratios of 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7% LLP based on flour weight, after which cooking quality, mechanical texture properties, and viscosity were measured, and a sensory evaluation was performed. The gelatinization points of the composite LLP-wheat flours were shown to increase. Additionally, measurement of the viscosity at 95, viscosity at 95 after 15 minutes, and the maximum viscosity values decreased, as the LLP content increased. As increasing amounts of LLP were added, the L and a values decreased, whereas the b value increased and the color values, weight, and volume of cooked noodle increased, as did the turbidity of the soup. Finally the LLP additive increased hardness and decreased adhesiveness, cohesiveness and springiness. Sensory evaluation showed that high quality cooked noodle could be produced by inclusion of 5% LLP.

The purpose of this study was to identify control points through microbiological hazard analysis in the manufacturing processes of starch noodles. Samples were collected from the ingredients, manufacturing processes, equipment and environment. Microbiological hazard assessments were performed using aerobic plate counts (APC), Enterobacteriaceae (EB), E. coli and five pathogens including B. cereus, E. coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., and S. aureus. The APC levels in raw materials were from 2.12 to 3.83 log CFU/g. The contamination levels after kneading were 4.31 log CFU/g for APCs and 2.88 log CFU/g for EB counts. APCs decreased to 1.63 log CFU/g and EB were not detected after gelatinization, but their levels slightly increased upon cooling, cutting, ripening, freezing, thawing, and separating. The reuse of cooling and coating water would be a critical source of microbial increase after cooling. After drying, APCs and EB counts decreased to 5.05 log CFU/g and 2.74 log CFU/ g, respectively, and the levels were maintained to final products. These results suggest that the cooling process is a critical control point for microbiological safety, and the cooling water should be treated and controlled to prevent cross contamination by pre-requisite program.

This is a basic study of Cheong-song mineral water, which has high contents of Ca and Mg for making noodles as well as for general cooking. The test results of the noodles manufactured and cooked with mineral water were compared to those manufactured and cooked with distilled water and tap water. Noodles manufactured with mineral water showed higher values than others in the cooked weight, volume, water absorption ability, turbidity, lightness (L) and redness (a) on the minus scale. This means that we can manufacture cooked noodles that have high weight, high volume, high water absorption ability and high lightness (L) along with a slight green color with Cheong-song mineral water. Cooked noodles manufactured with mineral water showed significant differences in the cooked weight and volume compared to those manufactured with distilled water. Also, cooked noodles manufactured with mineral water showed significant differences in moisture absorption, turbidity, lightness (L), redness (a) and yellowness (b) compared to those manufactured with distilled water and tap water. Commercial noodles cooked in mineral water showed significant differences in the cooked weight and redness (a) compared to those cooked in distilled water and tap water. Further, commercial noodles cooked in mineral water showed significant differences in weight, volume and brightness (L) compared to those cooked in distilled water.

본 연구에서는 쌀국수를 제조하기 위하여 히드록시프로필 메틸셀룰로오스 (HPMC)가 사용되었고, 물 첨가량, HPMC 첨가량, HPMC의 점도가 쌀반죽의 제면성이 주는 영향에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 물 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 첫 번째 롤러를 통과한 쌀반죽의 형태가 더 반듯하고 균일한 형태를 나타내었다. 그러나, 물 첨가량이 특정 범위를 넘어서자, 제면 후의쌀국수의 형태가 굴곡이 심한 문제가 있었다. HPMC 첨가량을 달리하여 제면성을 살펴본 결과, 3% 함량이 쌀반죽의 우수한 제면성을 위해 최적의 조건임이 확인되었다. HPMC의 점도가 감소할수록 롤러를 통과한 쌀반죽이 불균일해지는 문제가 있었으나 점도가 가장 낮은 PMC 40H를 첨가한 경우, 높은 물 첨가량에서도 제면 후 면의 형태가 곧은 형태가 나타나 제면성이 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다. 전체적으로 본 연구에서 실험한 범위에서는 56~58%의 물첨가량, 3% 함량의 HPMC 첨가, 고점도 HPMC(PMC60U) 사용이 가장 우수한 제면을 위한 최적의 조건으로 생각된다.

분말을 우리밀 밀가루 중량 100%를 기준하여 각각 0.5, 1.0 및 2.0% 첨가하여 제조한 국수의 품질특성을 조사하였다. DPPH radical 소거활성, 환원력, 자동산화 억제활성, tyrosinase 저해활성을 측정한 결과, 분획물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 항산화활성은 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 부탄올 분획물에서 높은 DPPH radical 소거활성, 환원력, 자동산화 억제활성, tyrosinase 저해활성을 보였다. 솔잎분말을 첨가하여 제조한 국수의 중량, 부피, 함수율 및 국물의 탁도는 대조구와 비교하여 분말의 첨가량이 많을수록 증가하였다. 색도는 솔잎분말의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 L값과 a값은 감소하였으며 b값은 증가하였다. 솔잎분말을 첨가하여 조리한 국수의 조직감은 우리밀 밀가루만 사용하여 제조한 대조구에 비하여 경도, 응집성, 탄력성, 검성 및 씹힘성이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 관능검사 결과 솔잎 분말 1.0% 첨가구에서 색, 맛 및 전체적인 기호도가 높게 나타났으며, 향과 조직감에서는 대조구와 비교하여 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다.

The purpose of this study was to understand the influence of instant noodle's selection attribution on satisfaction and to empirically analyze whether or not grade (elementary schoolchildren, middle school students, high school students) plays a moderating role in the relationship between selection attribution and satisfaction. Further, this study examined the differences in demographic characteristics among two groups of subjects divided by instant noodle's selection attribution. Based on a total of 1021 samples, this study verified a total of 3 hypotheses using the SPSS program. Data were analyzed by frequency analysis, chi-square, t-test, factor analysis, reliability analysis, cluster analysis, discriminant analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results of the study were as follows. There were three different instant noodle's selection attributions among the children and adolescents investigated: internal element, external element, and company reliability. The multiple regression results show that internal element (=.391), external element (=.239), and company reliability (=.063) among customers' selection attributions had significant positive effects on satisfaction. In addition, the effect of selection attribution upon satisfaction was partially moderated according to grade. Further, cluster analysis divided subjects into two groups according to instant noodle's selection attribution: high-selection group vs. low-selection group. The wo groups of subjects classified by instant noodle's selection attribution were also different from each other in demographic characteristics. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.

본 연구에서는 자체 성분으로는 제면이 어려운 쌀가루에 대해서 제면성을 향상시키기 위해 잔탄검, 구아검, 결정셀룰로오스, 카르복시 메틸셀룰로오스와 같은 천연고분자를 첨가한 후 첨가량과 물양을 달리하여 제면성에 대해 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서 검토된 네 가지의 천연고분자 중에서 잔탄검이 가장 우수한 제면성을 보였고, 결정셀룰로오스가 가장 제면성이 나쁜 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 천연고분자의 물에서의 용해정도와 유변물성과 깊은 관련이 있을 것으로 생각되며, 잔탄검의 경우 수용액 상태에서도 가장 높은 점성을 보이기 때문에 쌀가루에 혼합되었을 때 쌀입자들을 잘 뭉치게 할 수 있는 특성 역시 커 가장 우수한 제면성을 보인 것으로 생각된다. 네 가지의 천연고분자 시료 모두 쌀의 제면성에 있어 첨가량과 물양에 의해 상당한 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 잔탄검의 경우, 잔탄검 함량 3%, 물량 64~68%에서 가장 우수한 제면성을 보였고, 구아검의 경우 2~3% 구아검 함량과 66% 부근의 물량에서 제면성이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 결정셀룰로오스를 첨가했을 경우에는 쌀반죽의 제면이 전혀 이뤄지지 않았으며, 카르복시메틸 셀룰로오스를 첨가한 경 우에는 3% 첨가량과 64%의 물량에서 최적의 제면성을 보였다. 전체적으로, 결정셀룰로오스를 제외한 세가지 천연고분자를 이용했을 때 쌀의 제면이 가능한 것으로 나타나, 쌀면을 제조하는데 있어 천연고분자들을 효과적으로 활용할 수 있음을 본 연구를 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나, 효과적인 쌀면을 개발하기 위해서는 쌀반죽의 제면성뿐만 아니라 조리특성 및 식감 역시 우수해야 하므로, 향후 이에 대한 연구가 추가적으로 필요하다.

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate quality characteristics of dried noodles when different concentrations of lotus leaf powder (LLP) were added to the wheat flour, thereby determining which noodle recipe was preferred. The cooking quality, mechanical texture properties, and viscosity were measured, and then a sensory evaluation was conducted with the prepared noodles. The gelatinization points of the composite LLP-wheat flours were shown to have an increased, viscosity at 95oC after 15 minutes. As measured via amylograph, the maximum viscosity values of those samples were decreased as the LLP content was increased. As well, when increased amounts of LLP were added, both the L and a values were reduced, whereas the b value was increased. 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, according to the results of our sensory evaluation, the noodles prepared with 5% LLP were preferred over the other noodles.

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(δE) 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.
