Changes of lipids in noodle dough and dried noodles during industrial processing

Abstract

This study investigated the changes of lipids during the industrial preparation of noodle dough and dried noodles, including the hydration, sheeting, and drying processes. The results showed that industrial processing markedly influenced the stability of lipids during the preparation of dried noodles. The contents of total free fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and free lipids were reduced, while peroxide values increased during the hydration and sheeting processes, showing the instability of lipids. The increase in lipid oxidation may have been due to the activation of lipoxygenase. Although its activity declined by 45.7% in the hydration process compared to that of the native wheat flour (198.5 ± 20.4 U/g/min), the residue activity should have been high enough to oxidize lipids. Interestingly, lipase activity remained relatively stable.In addition, an obvious increase of carbon-centered free radicals was observed during the entire processing. In conclusion, the industrial processing, especially the hydration process, markedly changed the lipid profile and promoted lipid oxidation during the preparation of dried noodles. Practical Application: The present study showed the positive relationship between endogenous lipid degrading enzymes and the degradation of lipids and elucidated the role of industrial processing on lipid stability in noodle dough and dried noodles. The results of the present study will also help us to understand more about the sensory quality of dried noodles during preparation, as well as to develop high quality of wheat-based food products.

Approach to evaluate the sensory quality deterioration of chicken seasoning using characteristic oxidation indicators

“…The composition of fatty acids was analyzed using gas chromatography (GC). Firstly, the oil in chicken seasoning was extracted and methylated as described by Yang et al (2021) . The fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were analyzed using an 8860 GC (Agilent Technologies, USA) equipped with a capillary column (SGE BPX-70, 30 m × 250 μm × 0.25 μm) (SGE Analytical Science, UAS).…”

Influence of 10 MeV electron beam irradiation on the lipid stability of oat and barley during storage

“…The FFA content of oat and barley was measured according to Yang, Huang, Xing, Guo, and Zhu (2021) with slight modifications. About 2.5 g of each flour sample was added to 15 mL 95% ethanol, stirred and then shaken in a shaker at 250 rpm and 25 °C for 1 h. After that, the mixture was centrifuged at 8000 × g and 20 °C for 10 min.…”

Plant-Wide Target Metabolomics Provides a Novel Interpretation of the Changes in Chemical Components during Dendrobium officinale Traditional Processing

“…Although curling and setting did not cause specific differential chemical compositions, some GEs were affected by them and showed an upregulation trend. Yang et al [40] suggested that the bound lipid content of noodles continues to increase during the pressing process, with the most important GE of pressed oil exceeding leached oil by 30%. This indicates that extrusion facilitates lipid retention.…”
