Low Glycemic Index (LGI) foods help to maintain blood glucose level in diabetic individuals. Pea flour (PF) is known to be one of LGI ingredients used in the food industry. To assess the influence of PF in noodle processing, thermally processed pea flour was incorporated at 20 % and 40 % in the preparation of noodles using Lab scale Noodle Making Machine. Evaluation for Physico-chemical, rheological and noodle making characteristics, in vitro starch digestibility (IVSD) and microstructure of noodles were carried out. Cooking quality did not show any significant difference among the samples, with solid leach out ranging from 6.7 to 7.2 % against control (6.5 %). Colour measurement showed the presence of greenish colour in PF incorporated samples. Texture was firmer in fresh noodles (FN) (5.52 Newton (N), 6.00 N) and dried noodles (DN) (7.60 N, 7.86 N) compared to control (4.38 N-FN, 6.88 N-DN). Sensory analysis of noodles revealed that the samples (FN, DN) were acceptable at 20 % and 40 % levels with overall quality score (>8.5). In vitro analysis revealed that with increase in PF content there was a significant decrease in the availability of glucose in DN followed by FN compared to control. Overall RDS was reduced and SDS was increased in 40 % PF incorporated FN. Scanning-electron microscopy revealed the presence of fiber matrix around the starch granules.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored using drum-dried overripe Kepok plantain flour (KPF) as a substitute for wheat flour in instant noodles to improve their nutritional and textural properties.
  • Noodles with 10%, 20%, and 30% KPF substitutions showed varying effects on attributes like adhesiveness, elasticity, and cooking quality, with 20% yielding the best balance of firmness, shape retention, and reduced stickiness.
  • KPF also enhanced nutritional value by increasing resistant starch content and decreasing oil absorption, showcasing its potential as a functional ingredient for healthier instant noodles.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how varying protein levels in dried noodles (10%-15%) affect their structure and how easily starch within them can be digested during rehydration.
  • Results show that the noodles' hardness decreases exponentially during rehydration, influenced by starch gelatinization and protein aggregation, leading to the formation of a honeycomb gel structure.
  • Higher protein content leads to a more compact gel structure, slowing down starch digestion rates; overcooking noodles with high protein content reduces digestibility by about 10% compared to low-protein noodles.

A 3-step load-wash-elute solid-phase extraction tandem dedicated clean-up cartridge prior to UPLC-MS/MS for the simultaneous determination of bongkretic acid, isobongkretic acid and toxoflavin in food is presented in this work. The 3-step load-wash-elute SPE strategy with PRiME HLB, eliminating conditioning and equilibration, and coupled with dedicated purification cartridge, PriboFast MFC 336, was used as a tandem cartridge for sample pretreatment. Various sample pretreatment conditions including sample extractant, the tandem cartridge, the optimizatioin of PRiME HLB SPE conditions and PriboFast MFC 336 purification conditions, as well as MS/MS conditions and HPLC conditions were systematically investigated.

Our research focused on the integration of soluble dietary fiber (Fv-SDF) into wheat flour during the production of dried noodles, delving into the impact of different addition ratios of Fv-SDF on both dough processing characteristics and the quality of the micro-fermented dried noodles. The viscometric and thermodynamic analyses revealed that Fv-SDF notably improved the thermal stability of the mix powder, reduced viscosity, and delayed starch aging. Additionally, Fv-SDF elevated the gelatinization temperature and enthalpy value of the blend.
