Cornstarch has been added, with percentages of ( 5%, 10%, 15%,20% and 25%), to
flour beans both types paste (peeled and non-peeled) prepared for the manufacture of a
quick vermicelli preparation (noodles), in order to study the effect of the additi
on of some
chemical and organoleptic characteristics of this product and to determine the ideal
proportion of corn starch added.
The study has shown that there is an inverse relationship between the reduction of
protein content and the increase of the fat percentage and the increase of starch proportion
up to (25%) in both kinds of bean noodles: peeled and unpeeled.
Increasing the ratio of starch above 15% has affected negatively the resulted noodles
colour and some organoleptic characteristics such as taste and smell with the emergence of
a gradual improvement of the appearance of noodles that resulted from flour peeled beans.
Finally , it was found that the best ratio of added starch is 15%.
The effects of Syrian wheat class and locally produced flour types on the
rheological properties of instant noodles production were investigated. Two
wheat classes (soft and durum) and two varieties of each were selected. These
varieties were mill
ed into standard flour (80% extraction rate) and high quality
flour (72% extraction rate). Dough rheological properties were evaluated by
farinograph and extensogarph techniques. Noodles cooking properties were
measured according to the AACC approved methods. The rheological
characteristics and the statistic analysis revealed significant differences among
the selected varieties, and reflected directly and significantly on the cooking
properties of the resultant noodles samples. This indicated the possibility of
using farinograph and extensogarph techniques in predicting the quality of the
resulting noodles. Furthermore, F test and distribution of variance analysis
showed that wheat class was of a vital and significant effect on dough
rheological properties and noodles quality comparing by wheat variety and
flour type.
Noodles are one of the most commonly used foods, as they are second only to bread, and 40% of the wheat produced in Asia is used for making noodles. The characteristics of Syrian wheat have not been studied in terms of their suitability for making noodles for the moment of cooking
