Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate physicochemical properties, antioxidative activity, and sensory properties of rice noodle substituted with 10%, 20% and 30% (w/w) water chestnut flour. Sample made from 100% rice flour or 0% (w/w) water chestnut served as control. The obtained noodle from the appropriate formula was subsequently dried at different temperatures of 50, 60 and 70 ºC, and the quality of instant noodles were evaluated. It was found that moisture content and cohesiveness of fresh noodles substituted with 10-30% water chestnut flour was lower than control sample (p<0.05). Cohesiveness of noodle decreased with increasing of water chestnut flour substitution. Fresh rice noodle substituted with 10% water chestnut was most accepted by panelist in terms of appearance, texture, taste, aroma, color, and overall liking (p<0.05). In drying fresh noodle into dried noodle, the increased drying temperature from 50 to 70 ºC significantly reduced time required to dry samples to 120, 75 and 60 min, respectively, and drying rate were increased from 0.29 to 0.53 g/ min. The total phenolic contents and antioxidant activity of both fresh and dried rice noodles substituted with 10% (w/w) water chestnut flour were 2.53-13.23 and 1.28-1.95 mg gallic acid equivalent/ 100 g. The rehydration ratio and cohesiveness values of instant noodle from water chestnut flour were 1.55-1.82 times compared to the weight of dry noodle, and 243.67-321.38 g, respectively. Dried rice noodles after drying at 60 ºC was most accepted when rehydrated than other samples (p<0.05). Therefore, the optimum amount of water chestnut flour substituted in rice flour was 10% (w/w) and drying temperature was 60 ºC for 75 min.          Keywords :  water chestnut flour ; physicochemical properties ; noodle ; drying rate ; antioxidant
