In this study, tensile strength, slicing, and infrared characteristics were evaluated to determine the changes in ramen dough and constituent proteins during production by hand. The results showed that two variables played important roles during the ramen-making process: the frequency of ramen agent additions and the method of ramen making. After two additions of the ramen agent to the dough, the tensile strength increased to the maximum value. Moreover, the ordered secondary structure of the protein improved, and the starch granules and protein molecules were arranged in an orderly fashion.
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.
