Effect of A- and B-granules of wheat starch on Chinese noodle quality

To investigate the effect of A- and B-type granules of wheat starch on noodle quality, the fractionation and reconstitution method was used to prepare noodles with five different ratios of A-to B-granules (100A-0B, 75A-25B, 50A-50B, 25A-75B, 0A-100B). The pasting and swelling properties of reconstituted flours and the microstructure of noodles observed under a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) indicated that there were at least two aspects were responsible for the changes in noodle quality. First, the water distribution, texture and cooking quality of noodles were influenced by the different physicochemical properties of A- and B-granules; and second, the gluten structure in noodles was altered by the granule size distribution, which further led to a difference in noodle quality. In general, with increasing number of B-granules, the A₂₂ (the proportion of less immobilized water) of raw noodles and the hardness, resilience and chewiness of cooked noodles increased first and then decreased, while the cooking loss, water absorption and protein loss showed the reverse trend. Raw noodle samples containing 50A-50B had the minimum T₂₂ (less immobilized water) but the maximum A₂₂ and, when cooked, had the greatest hardness, chewiness and resilience and the least cooking loss (6.6%) and water absorption (166.1%). These results have important implications for illustrating the mechanism by which A- and B-granules affect noodle quality and guide efforts to improve noodle quality and wheat breeding.     

小麦蛋白质与面条品质关系的研究进展

为促进我国面条工业生产并为面条专用小麦良种的选育提供科学依据,对近年来小麦蛋白质与面条品质关系的研究进行了综述。总体来看,蛋白质含量和质量从各个方面影响面条品质。蛋白质含量与面条白度、表观状态呈负相关,与面条质构特性,尤其是煮熟面条的硬度、弹性呈正相关。较高的麦谷蛋白含量可以提高面条的硬度、咀嚼性、粘合性和抗拉伸能力。在一定范围内,蛋白质质量（面筋含量和质量、沉降值、流变学特性）的提高有助于面条蒸煮品质的改善和感官评分的提高,但蛋白质质量过高（湿面筋含量〉35%,沉降值〉60mL,稳定时间〉16min）会导致面条外观品质变劣,评分下降;高分子量谷蛋白亚基5＋10可能与较好的面条品质有关。一般认为,优质面条小麦的蛋白质品质指标为：蛋白质含量12%～14%;湿面筋含量28%～34%,沉淀值40～45mL,稳定时间5～15min。     

小麦淀粉与面条质量关系的研究进展

小麦淀粉品质对白盐面条的质量（尤其是煮后的感官特性）有重要影响。直链与支链淀粉的含量及比例是影响面条质量的重要因素,是造成不同小麦品种淀粉糊化和膨胀特性及面条质量差异的物质基础。较低直链淀粉含量的小麦粉具有较好的糊化和膨胀特性,制作的面条煮制时吸水率高,烹调损失低,具有较高的感官评分。优质白盐面条的直链淀粉含量应在22%左右。峰值黏度、稀懈值、峰值时间是影响面条质量的重要糊化参数,这3项参数高的小麦粉适合制作优质面条。高膨胀势或膨胀体积的小麦粉制作的面条中等偏软,光滑且富有弹性,可以作为面条用小麦的重要选择标准。一般认为,直链淀粉含量较低、峰值黏度和稀懈值高、峰值时间长、膨胀势或膨胀体积高的小麦粉适合制作优质白盐面条。其中,直链淀粉含量、峰值黏度和膨胀势是优质面条小麦评价的关键品质性状。     

Effect of NaCl on rheological properties of dough and noodle quality

To assess the effect of NaCl on processing properties of different varieties of wheat flour and noodle quality, the rheological properties of dough, and the quality of white salted noodles made from three different varieties of wheat flour were evaluated. The results showed that the addition of NaCl had different effects on the rheological properties of different varieties of wheat flour. As NaCl concentration increased, the stability time of both intermediate-gluten and weak-gluten wheat flour increased, while that of strong-gluten wheat flour increased initially and then remained stable. The developing time of strong-gluten wheat flour increased, while those of both intermediate-gluten and weak-gluten wheat flour did not change significantly. The energy values of intermediate- and weak-gluten wheat flour did not change significantly while that of strong-gluten wheat flour increased. NaCl had no apparent effects on the hardness, springiness, gumminess, chewiness and resilience of noodles. The cooking loss of fresh noodles increased positively with increasing NaCl concentration. Microstructure of noodles showed that gluten network structure of noodles became more and more dense with increasing NaCl concentration. The effect of NaCl on gluten protein contributed to the change of rheological properties and noodle quality.     

Effects of potato/wheat flours ratio on mixing properties of dough and quality of noodles

The effects of potato flour/wheat flour (PF/WF) ratio on the mixing properties of dough and the quality of noodles were investigated. Substitution of wheat flour with potato flour caused the increases in the water absorption and the protein weakening value (C1-C2) of formulated flours, as well as the decrease in the corresponding dough mixing parameters including dough development time (DDT), dough stable time (DST), initial mixing time (C2), maximum torque during heating (C3), minimum torque of hot paste (C4) and the amount of retrogradation (C5-C4), indicating that the addition of PF weakened dough strength but improved degradation resistance. The textural, cooking, sensory characteristics and microstructure of noodle samples were evaluated. The results indicate that adhesiveness, springiness, broken ratio and cooking lose increased progressively with increasing PF content while the score of sensory evaluation continued to decrease. However, hardness, cooking yield and optimum cooked time for the samples of PF content range from 10% to 20% showed a distinctive variation. Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) confirmed changes in noodle microstructure as PF addition affected gluten network development. In general, noodles with PF content below 40% were acceptable.     

面条品质评价指标及评价方法的研究

为了全面科学地评价小麦品种的面条加工特性,测定了29个北方小麦品种的面粉品质和鲜湿面条的制作品质,采用相关分析和多元回归分析方法,分析了面粉品质指标与鲜面条加工品质之间的关系.结果表明,面条的蒸煮损失率、拉伸强度、拉断力、延伸率与面条综合得分间的相关系数分别为-0.429、0.944、0.796和0.398,相关性很强,可以用作面条品质的辅助评价指标,即辅助综合得分来评价面条品质;面团的形成时间、稳定时间及弱化度与面条的综合得分和蒸煮损失率均呈极显著相关,面粉中的总淀粉含量与面条的综合得分呈显著相关,并且面粉白度、蛋白质含量、湿面筋含量、沉淀值、吸水率、形成时间、稳定时间、弱化度、总淀粉含量、直链淀粉含量、支链淀粉含量、支直链淀粉比等12项指标都不同程度地进入了面条的上述5个品质评价指标的回归方程,进一步说明用这5个指标来综合评价面条品质是可取的.根据面条各品质指标的相关性推出各品质指标在面条综合评价中所占的权重,再将利用回归方程算出的5个面条品质评价指标的数据进行标准化处理以消除量纲的影响后,即可计算出某个小麦品种所生产面条的综合评价分数.本研究即通过这一方法从29个供试小麦品种中优选出了6个优质面条用小麦品种,它们分别是洛展1号、泰山23、温麦4号、太空6号、淮麦16、温麦8号.     

关中平原小麦粉鲜面条制作适宜性研究

针对餐饮业连锁经营和向食品制造转化的背景下,食品生产企业对小麦品种质量特性、原料质量稳定性,特别是面条制作适宜性提出新的要求,对关中平原大面积种植的小麦品种籽粒质量性状进行分析,并通过训练的专业感官评价人员对以其为原料、由面点师实验室制作的鲜面条的烹饪特性进行评价,同时统计分析小麦籽粒性状、面粉理化特性和面条感官评价结果之间的关系。结果表明,关中平原小麦千粒重、容重和硬度较高,面粉湿面筋含量高,面团延展性能良好,优质强筋小麦品种的比例明显提高。面粉的黏度参数,特别是峰值黏度,对面条的感官评价总分,面条质量要素中的色泽、硬度和黏性有较大影响,是评价鲜面条专用粉的重要参考指标。面条感官评价总分与峰值黏度呈显著正相关,与籽粒硬度、破损淀粉含量和面粉吸水率呈显著或极显著负相关。小麦品种（面粉）百农207、F50、F20、中麦578、西农583和郑麦366适宜制作优质鲜面条。     

鲜湿米粉品质及其影响因素

米粉种类丰富,口感爽滑,质地柔韧,既可作为主食,又能当作早餐,深受广大消费者喜爱。因此,科学评价米粉品质、探究米粉品质影响因素始终受到研究者和企业的密切关注。本文综述了鲜湿米粉的分类与评价方法,从稻米品质、浸泡处理方式、磨粉工艺、辅料与食品添加剂、贮存保鲜方式等五个方面探讨了影响米粉品质的因素。目前,按成型工艺将鲜湿米粉分为切粉和榨粉。高直链淀粉含量品种做的米粉断条率和蒸煮损失率低,感官品质好,因此可将直链淀粉含量作为核心指标筛选出适宜作米粉的水稻品种。在调试出合适米水比的条件下,半干法研磨安全环保,对淀粉损伤较小,生产出的米粉品质与湿法研磨无显著差异。盐类或单甘脂等添加剂与保鲜方式结合使用,对鲜湿米粉保鲜效果更好。     

Investigation of amber durum wheat for production of yellow alkaline noodles

Samples of Canadian amber durum wheat varieties, of various protein content and a composite of export cargo samples, were milled to yield straight-grade and patent flours by reducing semolina and processed into yellow alkaline noodles (YAN). Samples of Canada Hard White Spring (CWHWS) and Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) were included for comparative purposes. YAN from durum wheat displayed a colour advantage over CWRS and CWHWS YAN. The durum YAN displayed an approximate 9–20 unit greater b* (yellowness) value than CWRS and CWHWS at 2 and 24 h after preparation. This relates to greater yellow pigment and flavonoid contents in the durum flours. All durum wheat YAN exhibited excellent noodle brightness, which was retained over time due to lower levels of the enzymes polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD). Durum noodles displayed significantly fewer specks than CWRS and were comparable to CWHWS. Durum wheat YAN cooking quality was equal to or slightly superior to CWRS and CWHWS. Durum wheat flour refinement imparted no significant effects on cooked noodle texture (maximum cutting stress, recovery, resistance to compression). However, the various texture parameters improved with durum wheat protein content and gluten strength.     

淀粉老化调控对燕麦全粉挤压面条蒸煮品质的影响

燕麦粉不含面筋蛋白,使燕麦全粉面条煮熟后易浑汤、蒸煮损失率大,目前只能温水浸泡复水食用,是限制燕麦更广泛推广的难题之一。为了满足市场对燕麦全粉面条的需求,以利用二级挤压技术生产的燕麦全粉挤压面条为试材,对成型面条进行了调湿老化、蒸制老化及冷冻老化处理,比较了不同老化方式对燕麦全粉挤压面条蒸煮品质的影响。结果表明,调湿老化处理的面条蒸煮损失率最小(2.26%~3.34%),蒸制老化次之(4.19%~5.19%),冷冻老化最大(5.16%~7.97%)。不同老化处理的面条感官评分差异不显著,以调湿老化处理24h的面条感官评分最高(87.2分);调湿老化处理面条的淀粉相对结晶度(12.47%~16.10%)、热焓值(1.044 0~1.056 0J·g-1)及回生值(519.5~558.0cP)均最大,蒸制老化次之,冷冻老化最小。综合分析可知,对燕麦挤压面条进行淀粉老化处理,能够显著降低燕麦全粉挤压面条的蒸煮损失率,最优方式为调湿老化24h。

Dough rheological properties and noodle-making performance of non-waxy and waxy whole-wheat flour blends

Dough rheological properties and noodle-making performance of non-waxy whole-wheat flour (WWF) with partial- or full-waxy (PW- or FW-) WWF substitution were studied. The substitution levels were 0, 250, 500, 750, and 1000 g/kg, respectively. FW-WWF reduced the peak viscosity and pasting temperature of WWF blends as its substitution level was increased due to its higher proportions of B-type starch granules and short amylopectin chains, while PW-WWF increased peak viscosity with the increasing substitution level because of its higher amylopectin content. As demonstrated by farinograph and rheometer measurements, FW-WWF interfered with gluten development because of the increased competition for water by arabinoxylans and amylopectin; however, PW-WWF enhanced dough strength due primarily to its increased protein content. Consequently, FW-WWF showed a detrimental effect on cooked noodle texture as the cooked noodle hardness was reduced by 50% at the 1000 g/kg substitution level. In contrast, PW-WWF enhanced noodle integrity and elasticity by increasing cooked noodle cohesiveness and resilience by 10.1% and 14.8%, respectively, at the 1000 g/kg substitution level. The results suggest that with waxy WWF substitution, the changes in starch composition, arabinoxylans, and protein content could modify the interactions among flour components and influence the quality characteristics of noodle products.     

Physicochemical characterization and in-vitro digestibility of extruded rice noodles with different amylose contents based on rheological approaches

The physicochemical properties and in-vitro digestibility of extruded rice noodles with different amylose contents were characterized from a rheological point of view. Thermo-mechanical measurements showed that the rice flour with higher amylose contents exhibited greater stability to dual-mixing and higher degrees of starch gelatinization and retrogradation. In addition, greater elastic properties were clearly observed in the high amylose rice samples. The use of high amylose rice flour produced noodles with a harder texture, consequently contributing to reduced cooking loss. Furthermore, the rheological changes of extruded rice noodles were monitored in real time during the in-vitro starch digestion. The rice noodle digesta with higher amylose contents exhibited greater viscosities throughout the simulated oral-gastric-intestinal digestion steps. The flow behaviors of the rice noodle digesta consisted of the Power-law region and infinite shear plateau that were satisfactorily characterized by the Sisko model (R² > 0.99).

Preparation and characterization of gluten-free sheeted doughs and noodles with zein and rice flour containing different amylose contents

This study aimed to explore the feasibility of zein as a gluten alternative in preparing sheeted doughs with rice flours containing different amylose contents (12, 19, and 26%) that were successfully slit into noodle strands. Rice-zein mixtures with lower amylose contents exhibited lower pasting parameters and the high amylose paste samples possessed more elastic properties. Higher water absorption was observed in the low amylose rice-zein mixture whereas the use of zein were effective in increasing the stability of rice dough regardless of amylose content. In case of thermal conductivity, the noodle doughs prepared with high amylose rice-zein mixture had low thermal conductivity, probably implying a long cooking time. The structure of the rice-zein noodles had a tendency to become firmer with increasing levels of amylose by showing greater breaking stress and resistance to extension that could be correlated to reduced cooking loss.     

几个黑小麦品种(系)蛋白质品质特性及其与面条蒸煮品质的关系

White salted noodle characteristics from transgenic isolines of wheat over expressing puroindolines

The closely linked genes puroindoline a (Pina) and puroindoline b (Pinb) control most of the variation in wheat (Triticum aestivum) grain texture. Mutations in either Pina or Pinb result in hard grain with wild type forms of both genes giving soft grain. Asian noodles are prepared from both hard and soft classes of wheat. Our objective was to examine color and texture characteristics of white salted noodles processed from flours of transgenic isolines of Hi-Line hard red spring wheat over expressing Pina-D1a, Pinb-D1a or both and a control giving a range in grain texture from very soft to hard. White salted noodles were prepared and color and texture characteristics were measured. The three softer textured transgenic isolines showed greater change in L^* with time than Hi-Line. The noodles were more adhesive (more negative value), firmer, and chewier as the grain texture became successively softer when cooked at 5 min. These texture differences were not as apparent when noodles were cooked for an optimum time. Starch pasting properties did not explain the noodle textural differences. A possible explanation for the noodle texture differences may be related to starch damage which ranged from 2.2% for HGAB to 6.7% for Hi-Line, flour particle size differences and subsequent water absorption differences among the four genotypes. Over expression of puroindolines did not enhance quality of white salted noodles when prepared under these conditions.     

糯小麦配粉对普通小麦品质性状和鲜切面条品质的影响

为了明确糯麦配粉对小麦品质的影响,利用中国北部和黄淮冬麦区的三个小麦主栽品种京411、豫麦49和豫麦34,研究了添加10%、15%、20%、25%和30%不同比例的糯小麦面粉后其蛋白质、淀粉特性及面条品质的变化.结果表明,随着添加比例的提高,面粉蛋白质含量和沉淀值有所增加,和面时间和衰落势无显著变化.直链淀粉含量随添加量的增加而逐渐降低,高峰粘度和反弹值则均有所下降.直链淀粉含量与面条的粘弹性、光滑性和总评分呈二次曲线关系,直链淀粉含量为24%～25%时,面条的粘弹性、光滑性和总评分最好,添加15%～20%的糯小麦面粉即可达到这一效果.添加糯小麦面粉对面条色泽和表观状况无显著影响.     

Effect of hydrothermal treatment of rice flour on various rice noodles quality

The rice noodle industry in Thailand is facing problems regarding rice flour quality. This research aims to study the effects of hydrothermally modified rice flour on improving rice noodle quality. High-amylose rice flour (Chai Nat 1 variety) was modified using heat–moisture treatment (HMT) and annealing (ANN). Response surface methodology (RSM) with face-centered central composite design (FCCD) was applied to optimize the hydrothermal treatment condition. The effects of treatment conditions – moisture content; heating temperature and heating time on pasting; rheology; and textural properties of rice flour gel – were observed. A contour plot showed that all responses using HMT increased when moisture content and heating temperature increased. But heating time had no significant effect on response variables. ANN showed a lower response than HMT for all parameters. The optimum modified conditions were then matched with those of commercial flour for fresh, semi-dry and dry rice noodles; this showed no significant differences in texture or cooking quality (P≤0.05). The storage modulus (G′) after cooling of HMT (19,100 Pa) was much higher than that of ANN (5490 Pa). The differences in rheological properties of both treatments supported their proper uses to achieve various rice noodle qualities.
