Rheological measurements and sensory evaluation
of rice noodles
The tensile and mastication properties of the
fermented rice noodles and control are given in
Fig. 6. The fermented noodles had a lower maximum
stress and higher maximum strain than the
control. They were also more resistant to mastication.
The results of sensory evaluation were
comparable (data not shown). The fermented rice
noodles had a white and translucent appearance,
favourable chewy mouth-feel and good acceptability.
