Abstract

In this study, the cooking and textural properties of the noodles prepared with whole egg, egg white, and yolk were evaluated firstly. The results showed that the addition of egg white improved the cooking quality of the noodles more significantly compared to that of whole egg and yolk. And the microstructure analysis showed that noodles made with 3.12 % egg white powder (EWP) had smoother surface and denser network structure. Moreover, the EWP strengthened network structure not only limited the leaching out of the amylose but trapped large starch particles. Besides, the rheological and starch structure analysis confirmed the EWP-enhanced network limited the pasting of starch to reduce its viscosity and decreased the crystallinity of starch. This study analyses the mechanism of protein addition on the improvement of cooking properties of noodles based on starch structural changes, which will provide new perspectives on the preparation of noodles with designed properties.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Cereal Science was established in 1983 to provide an International forum for the publication of original research papers of high standing covering all aspects of cereal science related to the functional and nutritional quality of cereal grains (true cereals - members of the Poaceae family and starchy pseudocereals - members of the Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Polygonaceae families) and their products, in relation to the cereals used. The journal also publishes concise and critical review articles appraising the status and future directions of specific areas of cereal science and short communications that present news of important advances in research. The journal aims at topicality and at providing comprehensive coverage of progress in the field.
