Questionnaire investigations on cook masters and consumers were carried out to analyze sensory evaluation methods of process procedure and cooked noodles of Lanzhou hand-stretched noodle(LZHSN),in order to provide sensory evaluation methods for noodle quality,as well as standardization of specific flour for hand-stretched noodles. Comments and suggestions were collected by visiting and communicating on the internet from cook masters to formulate evaluation method of process procedure of LZHSN in laboratory. Wheat flours that are usually used in catering market were selected as materials to carry out consumers’ preference investigation about sensory indices in Lanzhou and Beijing city,then the sensory evaluation methods on process procedure and cooked noodles of LZHSN were determined,improved and assessed. 88.89% of the masters thought that the sensory evaluation method for process procedure evaluation of LZHSN could summarize the whole processing,and the evaluation indices ranked by preference as ‘degree of mixing and hardness of dough’ > ‘fracture and homogeneity of strips’ > ‘slitting effort by hand and stickiness’ > ‘dough color after resting’ = ‘extending force’. The process procedure made for LZHSN could meet most of the processing requirements of wheat flour. Consumers ranked the cooked noodles sensory evaluation indices by preference as ‘elasticity’ > ‘color’ > ‘hardness’ > ‘smoothness’ > ‘surface appearance’ > ‘stickiness’,and they could distinguish the quality of wheat flours. The evaluation methods established in laboratory could be used to evaluate the process procedure and cooked noodles of LZHSN. In the evaluation system of ‘100 points system’,the evaluation indices for processing noodles included ‘degree of mixing and hardness of dough’,‘fracture and homogeneity of strips’,‘slitting effort by hand and stickiness’,‘dough color after resting’ and ‘extending force’,which were assigned as 35,20,15,15,and 15 point,respectively.The evaluation indices for cooked noodles quality included ‘elasticity’,‘hardness’,‘color’,‘surface appearance’,‘smoothness’,‘stickiness’ and ‘flavor’,which were assigned as 30,20,20,10,10,5,and 5 point,respectively. |
