Abstract:
Dried noodle was prepared from wheat flour, blend with 10 ,20 ,30 % mungbean ( MF ) and peanut ( PF ) flour, to increase protein quantity. The protein content were 25.35 and 43.40 % in MF and PF . Supplementing wheat with 10, 20 and 30 % of legume flours caused a decrease in farinograph water absorption and stability. Dough development time were higher for blends containing MF. An increase in the mechanical tolerance index was obtained for blends containing higher level of legume flours. Wheat blended with legume flours caused an increase in protein content and decreased in wheat gluten. Supplementing wheat flour with legume flour caused an increase in protein (12.31 , 13.94 , 14.70 % and 14.25 , 17.40, 21.75 % in MF and PF supplementation ) and ash content (1.06 , 1.34 ,1.46 % and 1.13 , 1.51 , 1.77 % in MF and PF supplementation ) contained up to 21.27, 37.27 , 44.62 % ( MF ) ; 40.32 , 71.41 , 114.22 % ( PF ) for protein and 7.07, 35.86, 47.17% ( MF ) ; 14.65 , 52.22, 78.99 % ( PF ) for ash , more than did the wheat flour noodle. No difference in acceptability was found between samples which increase in MF supplementation (p ≥ 0.05 ) . Replacement of up to 30 % of wheat flour with PF supplementation resulted in noodle judged to have acceptable sensory qualities (p ≤ 0.05 ) . However 1 sensory attribute scores of wheat-mungbean noodle were 30 % replacement 1 and 20 % replacement for wheat-peanut noodle. The addition of 0.1 % transglutaminase enzyme improved wheat-legume noodle springiness score and breakage decreased during cooking and no difference in color and odor scores.
