Formulation and quality evaluation of noodles with starchy flours containing high levels of resistant starch

Abstract

Background. Increased consumption of foods high in resistant starch (RS) has been shown to prevent or manage type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and colon cancer. Materials and methods. The current study was carried out to identify the effects of supplementing noodles with high RS flour from red kidney beans, black turtle beans, mung beans, and potato starch on their RS content, quality properties, morphological appearance and consumer perception. The noodles were labelled F0 with 100% wheat flour, F1 with 22.5% high RS flour, F2 with 30% high RS flour, and F3 with 37.5% high RS flour. Results. The obtained results showed that the content of resistant starch in the noodles increased when some of the wheat flour was added/replaced with flour high in resistant starch content. The bright
