The results of sensory evaluation of cooked rice noodles are
presented in Table 4. Both firmness and elasticity scores were
improved with the increasing MS content, which might be attributed
to the restricted swelling power after addition with MS
(Sandhu et al., 2010). The elasticity score did not increase significantly
when the MS content increased from 2 g/100 g to 5 g/100 g,
which was not completely consistent with the result of springiness
in textural properties, mainly because the mouth feel was less
sensitive than instrument measurement. Scores of slipperiness
increased to a relative higher and stable level when the MS content
was above 5 g/100 g.
