The effects of corn starch addition on the freeze⁃thaw qualities of frozen rice noodles by YANG Wanying, WANG Ren, FENG Wei, WANG Tao, CHEN Zhengxing, ZHANG Hao

“…After adding corn starch, the hardness and chewiness of frozen rice noodles increased by 22.97% and 26.57%, respectively, and the total sensory score increased by 13.04%. Meanwhile, corn starch addition inhibited the transition of deep⁃bound water to weak⁃bound water and decreased the content of freezable water, weakening the mechanical damage of frozen rice noodles by ice crystals, which enabled a smoother surface of frozen rice noodles than the control.ConclusionThe addition of 20% corn starch can improve the cooking quality and texture characteristics of frozen rice noodles, delay the deterioration of quality, inhibit the increase of internal water mobility and reduce the formation of ice crystals, thereby improving the freeze⁃thaw quality of frozen rice noodles.…”
