Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of mortar milling conditions on the quality and noodle-processing suitability of whole-wheat flours (WWFs). The WWFs were milled at varying pestle speeds (50 and 130 rpm) and for varying durations (10, 20, 40, and 60 min) [...] Read more.
In this study, we investigated the effects of mortar milling conditions on the quality and noodle-processing suitability of whole-wheat flours (WWFs). The WWFs were milled at varying pestle speeds (50 and 130 rpm) and for varying durations (10, 20, 40, and 60 min) and analyzed to determine their particle size distribution, physicochemical properties, dough-mixing characteristics, antioxidant activities, and noodle-making performance. High pestle speed (Group H) produced significantly smaller particle sizes, higher flour temperatures, greater moisture loss, and increased starch damage compared to that produced at low pestle speeds (Group L). Compared with Group L, Group H exhibited higher water and sodium carbonate solvent-retention capacity (SRC) values, increased pasting viscosities, and greater gluten strength owing to finer particles. Total phenolic content increased with reduced particle size, whereas antioxidant activity (ABTS radical scavenging) exhibited inconsistent trends. Fresh noodle properties varied with milling conditions; finer WWF particles improved dough resistance but reduced extensibility when water was adjusted according to water SRC. Thus, WWF particle size strongly influences flour functionality and noodle quality, which highlights the need for precise milling control. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the applicability of a mortar-type mill for producing WWFs, with implications for enhancing WWF functionality. Full article

Sweet potato starch is an important source of starch in food processing, but its natural functionality is relatively limited, restricting its performance in certain applications. Gelatinized sweet potato starch, with enhanced structural and functional properties, has broader potential applications in food products. During the gelatinization process, the crystalline structure of sweet potato starch changes, making it suitable for use in various food formulations. Gelatinized sweet potato starch can be produced through techniques such as moist heat processing, extrusion, and spray drying, with the gelatinization effect influenced by factors such as moisture content and temperature. This review summarizes the gelatinization techniques and influencing factors for sweet potato starch, highlighting how structural changes under different conditions affect the quality of the final food products. Understanding these techniques and influencing factors helps optimize the gelatinization process of sweet potato starch, enhancing its application in foods such as noodles and baked goods. This knowledge provides theoretical support and practical guidance for the further utilization of sweet potato starch in the food industry. Full article

Assessing the Impact of Arabinoxylans on Dough Mixing Properties and Noodle-Making Performance through Xylanase Treatment
by Eunbin Ha and Meera Kweon
Foods 2024, 13(19), 3158; https://doi.org/10.3390/foods13193158 - 3 Oct 2024

Abstract
This study examined the impact of xylanases, focusing on the hydrolysis of water-extractable (WE-AX) and water-unextractable arabinoxylans (WU-AX) and on the quality and noodle-making performance of flours with varying gluten strengths. Flours categorized as strong (S), medium (M), and weak (W) were treated [...] Read more.
This study examined the impact of xylanases, focusing on the hydrolysis of water-extractable (WE-AX) and water-unextractable arabinoxylans (WU-AX) and on the quality and noodle-making performance of flours with varying gluten strengths. Flours categorized as strong (S), medium (M), and weak (W) were treated with two xylanases (WE and WU) at concentrations ranging from 0.01% to 0.2%. Parameters such as solvent retention capacity (SRC), SDS sedimentation volume, dough mixing properties, and noodle characteristics were measured. The SRC revealed that flour S had the highest water-holding capacity, gluten strength, and arabinoxylan content. Xylanase treatment reduced water SRC values in flour S and increased the SDS sedimentation volume, with a greater effect from xylanase WU, indicating the potential enhancement of gluten strength. The impact of xylanases was pronounced at higher enzyme concentrations, with differences in dough mixing properties, resistance, and extensibility of fresh noodles, producing softer and stretchable noodles. Cooked noodles made from flours treated with xylanase were softer and had decreased firmness and chewiness, especially those made from flours S and M. This study concludes that WE-AX and WU-AX influence noodle texture; therefore, controlling their degradation with xylanases can produce noodles with varied textures, depending on the gluten strength of the flour.

This study explored the noodle-making performance of flour blends with different particle sizes and blending ratios of purple-colored wheat bran and their antioxidant properties. The bran particle size was reduced using an ultra-centrifugal mill equipped with 1, 0.5, and 0.2 mm sieves. The damaged starch and swelling capacity of the bran were analyzed. Quality of the flour-bran blends at different blending ratios was analyzed by solvent retention capacity (SRC). Noodles made from the blends and their corresponding antioxidant activities were examined. The damaged starch and swelling capacity of bran were higher for smaller particles than for larger particles. Water and sodium carbonate SRC values of blends increased as the bran particle size decreased. The smaller the bran particles incorporated in the cooked noodles, the greater firmness and springiness measured. The antioxidant activity of noodles made with blends reflected better embedding of the small particles of bran than the large particles into noodle sheets. Small bran particles significantly enhanced noodles’ quality and antioxidant activity at higher blending ratios than large bran particles. Particle size reduction of bran enhanced the noodle-making performance of flour blended with purple-colored wheat bran; this could increase the utilization of bran to produce noodles with health benefits.
