Abstract
Polygonatum cyrtonema flour (PCF) is rich in active substances such as flavonoids, polysaccharides, and trace elements, which can be added to food to enhance its nutritional value while imparting product quality. In this study, we investigated the effects of PCF on the quality and characteristics of rice noodles. The addition of PCF to rice noodles conferred a yellow colour, while increasing cooking quality. Pasting characterization showed that the viscosity of the P. cyrtonema rice noodles (PCRN) was lower than the control group. Thermal characterization revealed that the thermal stability of the rice noodles increased with the addition of PCF. The ordered structure and microstructure of PCRN were enhanced under specific conditions of addition. Furthermore, the digestion resistance and antioxidant capacity of the noodles were enhanced. The results showed that the rice noodles produced by adding PCF had better quality, richer nutrition and better resistance to digestion than the control group.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
