, which might be attributed
to the restricted swelling power after addition with MS
(Sandhu et al., 2010). The elasticity score did not increase signifi-
cantly 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. A higher score in slipperiness means the
noodle surface was smoother (Sandhu et al., 2010). The changing
trend of chewiness in sensory evaluation was well consistent with
that in texture analysis, suggesting a high correlation between instrument
measurement and sensory evaluation. The overall
acceptability as the sum of firmness, slipperiness, elasticity and
chewiness increased significantly, and thus its change depended
highly on the scores of these parameters
