The potential of agro-industrial by-products in food products development have been reported for their nutritional composition. Soybean curd residue (okara flour - OF) and dragon fruit peels (DFP) have been known as a source of protein, fiber, and antioxidant compounds. Their potential in wet noodle formulation has never been investigated. The study aimed to investigate the potential of soybean curd residue, OF, and water fraction of DFP in wet noodles formulation. Four different levels of OF (0, 10, 20, and 30 %) and four different levels of DFP (0, 7, 9, and 11 %) was incorporated in wheat-based wet noodles. Physicochemical properties, sensory acceptability and antioxidant properties were investigated. The study showed that most impact was given by different levels of OF. The higher level of OF declined the moisture content and protein content significantly (p < 0.05) from a range of 45–48 % to the lowest level at 31 % and from 6.7–8 % to 5 %, respectively. The ash content increased as the level of OF was higher from 0.27 % to the highest level at 0.63 %. All the formulated noodles had a desirable value of cooking loss ( |
