RESUMEN
The mechanism of glutenin and gliadin on the surface tackiness of recooked frozen cooked noodles (FCNs) is unclear. In this study, the effects of glutenin and gliadin addition on the surface tackiness of FCNs were investigated. The addition of glutenin and gliadin reduced the surface tackiness (3.60 and 3.50 N) of recooked FCNs stored for 0 min. The addition of glutenin increased the rigidity of the gluten network and the compactness of FCNs and made the FCNs have a moisture-distribution with multilayers. The addition of gliadin increased the tensile distance of FCNs, restricted water migration during frozen storage, and increased the membranous structure of the gluten network to wrap starch particles. Glutenin had a stronger effect on reducing the surface tackiness of FCNs than gliadin. In the future, the synergistic effects of different proportions of glutenin and gliadin on the gluten network of FCNs could be further studied.
