*2.6. Texture Profile Analysis*

Texture analyzer model Brookfield CT3 Texture Analyzer (AMK CT3) specific for the food industry was used to measure noodle texture. Five noodle strands were arranged adjacent to each other on the fixture base tables and tested for hardness (g), adhesiveness (g.s), maximum tensile strength (g), and tensile fracture distance (mm) under the experimental conditions of 250 kg load cell and 10 mm/s cross head speed. The analyses were carried out with three repetitions and five replicates.
