Scanning electron
micrographs of raw extruded rice noodles showed that the surface was smoother and the network of
cross-section was more compacted for noodles made from blends of 95 g/100 g RF and 5 g/100 g MS than
those from pure RF. This study provides a crucial basis for understanding the interaction between MS and
RF and the quality improvement in the extruded rice noodles.
