Introduction: Noodles are rich in fibre and important nutrients which help promote health. This study was an attempt to determine the impacts of using different levels of cassava leaves on antioxidant features, nutritional values, and the quality of rice noodles. Methods: Wheat flour and rice were used to prepare rice noodles which used cassava leaves which were on the basis of flour weight (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40%). The proximate analysis, antioxidant activities, texture, color, and total cyanide content of the noodles were then determined. Results: The present findings suggest that using cassava leaves at different levels helps modify the structure of the noodles, finally leading to a softer product in comparison with the control samples. Furthermore, the addition of cassava leaves increased the amount of protein and fiber content and improved the antioxidant activities of rice noodles. Conclusion: It could be implied that cassava leaves with a lot of advantageous components-could be a great ingredient to enhance antioxidant features and nutritional value (protein and fiber) of noodle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
