Qiao K, Peng B. Effect of frozen storage on the quality of frozen instant soup rice noodles: From the moisture and starch characteristics. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135320.

Abstract
This study aimed to simulate frozen instant soup rice noodles (FISRN) and investigate the effects of long-term frozen storage (-18 °C, 180 days) on the quality characteristics, moisture status, and starch retrogradation of FISRN. The findings indicated that the extent of starch retrogradation gradually increased over 90 days, which elevated the RS rate and inhibited starch digestibility. However, recrystallization resulted in a gradual increase in ice crystal size after 90 days, which disrupted the ordered structure formed by starch retrogradation, reduced the degree of starch order, and accelerated the rate of starch digestion. Furthermore, a longer relaxation time (T24) was detected by NMR with increasing storage time. The weakly bound water in FISRN was gradually converted to free water. Texture results suggested that the hardness of FISRN experienced a general decrease. The cooking loss increased progressively from 3.66 % to 8.10 %. Scanning electron microscope demonstrated that the internal porous network structure of FISRN became inhomogeneous, and a significant number of apertures were formed on the surface. Overall, starch retrogradation and ice recrystallization significantly impact the quality of FISRN during long-term frozen storage. The findings may potentially influence the consumption and market circulation of FISRN positively.

Effects of fatty acids and glycerides on the structure, cooking quality, and in vitro starch digestibility of extruded buckwheat noodles. Food Res Int 2024; 191:114713. [PMID: 39059913 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the effects of various lipids on the structure, cooking quality, and in vitro starch digestibility of extruded buckwheat noodles (EBNs) with and without 20% high-amylose corn starch (HACS). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction revealed that lauric acid bound more strongly to starch than did stearic acid and oleic acid, and the binding capacity of fatty acids with starch was stronger than that of glycerides. The presence of HACS during extrusion facilitated increased formation of starch-lipid complexes. Evaluations of cooking quality and digestion characteristics showed that EBNs containing 20% HACS and 0.5% glycerol monooleate demonstrated the lowest cooking loss (7.28%), and that with 20% HACS and 0.5% oleic acid displayed the lowest predicted glycemic index (pGI) (63.54) and highest resistant starch (RS) content (51.64%). However, excessive starch-lipid complexes were detrimental to EBNs cooking quality and the resistance of starch to digestive enzymes because of the damage to the continuity of the starch gel network. This study establishes a fundamental basis for the development of EBNs with superior cooking quality and a relatively lower GI.

Qiao K, Peng B. Freezing rate's impact on starch retrogradation, ice recrystallization, and quality of water-added and water-free quick-frozen rice noodles. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 276:134047. [PMID: 39033893 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
The study evaluated the effect of freezing rate on the quality of water-added quick-frozen rice noodles and water-free quick-frozen rice noodles. Results indicated that the retrogradation enthalpy, relative crystallinity, freezable water content, and cooking loss of water-added quick-frozen rice noodles were higher than those of water-free quick-frozen rice noodles with increasing storage time. Furthermore, ice recrystallization accelerated the deterioration of the quality of the rice noodles, resulting in the enlargement of the pores within the rice noodles and the formation of many pores on the surface. This phenomenon was particularly evident in the rice noodles of Y-40 °C (freezing with water at -40 °C) and Y-60 °C (freezing with water at -60 °C). After 28 days of frozen storage, the hardness increased by 83.83 % for rice noodles of Y-20 °C (freezing with water at -20 °C), while the hardness decreased by 51.68 % and 45.80 %, respectively, for rice noodles of Y-40 °C and Y-60 °C. Consequently, the impact of the freezing rate on the quality of water-added quick-frozen rice noodles is more pronounced than that of water-free quick-frozen rice noodles. Moreover, a higher freezing rate can delay the deterioration of the quality of frozen rice noodles by postponing starch retrogradation and inhibiting ice recrystallization.

Mechanistic study on the effect of hydroxypropyl corn starch, guar gum and compound phosphates on the freeze-thaw quality of quick-frozen kuey teow. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135237. [PMID: 39218190 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135237] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2024] [Revised: 08/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Kuey teow is one of the delicacies of Guangdong, China and is a gluten-free noodle dish made from rice. It has a short storage period and extending the shelf life by quick freezing induces quality deterioration due to temperature fluctuations. To improve its freeze-thaw frozen storage quality, this paper examined the effects of hydroxypropyl corn starch (HCS), guar gum (GG), and compound phosphates (CP) on the quality of quick-frozen kuey teow during freeze-thaw cycles. The mechanism was investigated by identifying changes in the moisture status, aging degree of the starch, and textural and cooking characteristics. The results showed that all three additions improved the toughness, chewiness and steaming characteristics of the kuey teow, with CP significantly enhancing chewiness. XRD and FTIR results revealed that GG more significantly inhibited the decrease of starch crystallinity, while HCS inhibited starch aging. GG, HCS and CP all improved the hydration characteristics and water holding capacity of rice starch. GG enhances the ability of starch to bind more tightly with water, resulting in a more uniform water distribution and a more continuous and tight structure of the kuey teow. This study will provide a theoretical basis for compounding and optimizing the quick-freezing of kuey teow.

Insights into the effect mechanism of freeze-thaw cycles on starch gel structure and quality characteristics of frozen extruded whole buckwheat noodles. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 278:134577.

Abstract
The effects of freeze-thaw cycles (FTC) on starch gel structure and quality characteristics of frozen extruded whole buckwheat noodles (FEWBN) were studied. The repeated FTC treatments induced the retrogradation of amylose which increased the compactness, crystallinity, hardness, and cooking time of FEWBN. However, with the increasing number of freeze-thaw cycles, the larger volume of ice crystals formed in the noodles destroyed the starch gel network structure to a certain extent, and led to the dehydration and syneresis of the noodles, and the quality deterioration. However, moderate amylose retrogradation occurred during the FTC treatment was found to be beneficial for the quality of FEWBN. After one time of FTC treatment, the cooking loss of 3.53 % was even lower compared with that without FTC treatment (4.61 %). After seven times of FTC treatment, the cooking loss of FEWBN was 6.53 %, and the breaking rate was still 0, indicating that FEWBN could resist the damage caused by temperature fluctuations on the internal structure of frozen food to a certain extent, and maintain good quality. This study establishes a fundamental basis for the development of buckwheat noodles with good freeze-thaw stability and high cooking quality.

Abstract
Freezing is a popular method of food preservation with multiple advantages. However, it may change the internal composition and quality of food. This study aimed to investigate the effect of modified starch on the storage stability of frozen raw noodles (FRNs) under refrigerated storage conditions. Oxidized starch (OS), a modified starch, is widely used in the food industry. In the present study, texture and cooking loss rate analyses showed that the hardness and chewiness of FRNs with added OS increased and the cooking loss rate decreased during the frozen storage process. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance characterization confirmed that the water-holding capacity of FRNs with OS was enhanced. When 6% OS was added, the maximum freezable water content of FRNs was lower than the minimum freezable water content (51%) of FRNs without OS during freezing. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that after the addition of OS, the secondary structures beneficial for structural maintenance were increased, forming a denser protein network and improving the microstructure of FRNs. In summary, the water state, protein structure, and quality characteristics of FRNs were improved by the addition of OS within an appropriate range.

Abstract
Temperature-induced textural, cooking properties and structural variations of retrograded instant rice noodles (IRN) during the long-term storage were systematically investigated. IRN samples stored at 4 °C exhibited a relative high cooking loss (2.45 %), and their hardness values gradually increased with prolonged storage. Moreover, the higher storage temperature (35 °C) accelerated the deterioration of IRN texture. Fresh IRN displayed a typical B-type XRD pattern with 9.65 % relative crystallinity (RC). During the initial 2 weeks of storage, the formation of a long-range ordered structure led to an increase in RC, which was closely related to the duration and temperature of storage (ranging from 4 °C to 25 °C to 35 °C). Over the 12-week storage period, there was likely a disorganization of the supra-molecular structure, as evidenced by the considerably decreased RC and reduced water mobility. Furthermore, Pearson's correlation analysis highlighted that the tight integration between starch molecules and water molecules endowed IRN samples with enhanced smoothness and tenderness in flavor profiles. Hence, the study is expected to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying molecular order changes in retrograded starch gel products during the long-term storage.
