| Sumario: | While precooking and processing have improved the quality of gluten-free noodles, the effects of different cooking temperatures on their quality—neither gluten-free noodles nor whole Tartary buckwheat noodles—have rarely been clarified. This study investigated the key role of moisture distribution induced by different cooking temperatures in improving the noodle quality of whole Tartary buckwheat. The results showed that cooking temperatures higher than 70 °C led to a sharp increase in cooking loss, flavonoid loss and the rate of broken noodles, as well as a sharp decrease in water absorption. Moreover, the noodles cooked at 70 °C showed the lowest rate of hardness and chewiness and the highest tensile strength of all cooking temperatures from 20 °C to 110 °C. The main positive attribute of noodles cooked at 70 °C might be their high uniform moisture distribution during cooking. Cooking at 70 °C for 12 min was determined as the best condition for the quality improvement of whole Tartary buckwheat noodles. This is the first study to illustrate the importance of cooking temperatures on the quality of Tartary buckwheat noodles. More consideration must also be given to the optimal cooking conditions for different gluten-free noodles made from minor coarse cereals. |
