Texture properties of noodles were measured using texture analyzer (Lloyd Instrument, TA plus, UK) under
optimal test conditions. Measurements were carried out at room temperature exactly 10 min after cooking (Lu et al.,
2009). Instrument settings were pull to break mode: test speed 1 mm/s. Two texture parameters were obtained:
tensile strength (maximum force; N) and breaking length (distance at maximum force; mm). Three replicates of
cooked noodles at each level of Riceberry flour were determined.
