Abstract
The compositions and physical properties of Japanese salt and alkaline noodle flours were contrasted and compared to those of flours from U.S. hard white and soft white wheats (HWW and SWW) and from Australian SWW wheats often segregated for salt noodles. The alkaline noodle flours averaged 11.5% protein, which was 3% higher than the salt noodle flours, and they had lower ash content (0.35 vs. 0.41%). Granulation of the salt noodle flours showed the same proportion of small particles (r = 0.95, P < 0.01) with swelling power, both measured at 1.7% flour solids at 92.5°C.
