The relationship between the fine structure of original starch, leached starch during cooking, and the adhesiveness of noodles prepared by adding starches separated from different wheat cultivars was analyzed. The adhesiveness of noodles was primarily determined by the chain-length distributions of amylopectin rather than amylose. The adhesiveness of cooked noodles was positively correlated with the amount of short amylopectin chains with the degree of polymerization (DP) of 6-12, but negatively correlated with the amount of long chains with 25 < DP ≤ 36. The decrease of the proportion of short amylopectin chains and amylose chains and the increase of the amount of very long amylopectin chains with 37 < DP ≤ 100 in leachate led to decreased adhesiveness of cooked noodles. The reduction of the short-chain content in leached amylopectin caused by the increased proportion of long chains in original amylopectin is proposed to weaken the adhesiveness of cooked noodles.

It is meaningful to explore the addition of additives and the structural characteristics of water on the quality of rice noodles. Herein, the effects of the addition of cassava starch and the size of water clusters on physicochemical and cooking properties of rice noodles were systematically studied. The addition of 25 % cassava starch effectively enhanced the swelling performance and textural properties of rice noodles.

The effects of traditional processing techniques-cooking, autoclaving, and roasting-on the physicochemical properties, anti-nutritional factors (ANF), and amino acid composition of red kidney beans (RKB) were investigated. Significant alterations in proximate composition were observed: cooking generally increased protein levels, while roasting decreased fiber content. Autoclaving produced diverse effects.

Background: Pomelo albedo peel byproducts are composed of many health-ben-eficial phytochemicals during processing. This study aimed to maximize the potential of incorporating pomelo albedo powder as a bioactive ingredient in pasta.
Methods: In the present study, pomelo albedo was fortified with pasta at five different con-centrations (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12%), and its effects on the antioxidant, functional, textural, and sensorial attributes of pasta were investigated.

The impact of protein content on rice cooking properties has been well-studied, but the role of protein morphology remains unclear. This study identified that protein in both raw and cooked rice exists in protein bodies, not in a matrix or network. Using fluorescence microscopy, these protein bodies were isolated, stained, and visualized in situ, showing no significant difference between raw and cooked rice.
