Hydrocolloids with low (LBG and guar gum) and intermediate
(KG) water binding capacity had no significant effect on shear rheology of the dough. Adding
hydrocolloids with high water binding capacity (HPMC and xanthan gum) decreased the shear modulus
of dough with 20% broccoli particles significantly. CLSM analysis of cooked noodles showed that in
samples containing xanthan gum there was also an inhibition of swelling of starch granules.
