In order to establish objective quality evaluation methods for quick-frozen highland barley fish noodle and acquire some superior hulless barley varieties suitable for processing fish noodles, ten varieties were tested in this study.The physicochemical properties of grain were measured and analysed through principal component and grey relative method, and the major target characters affecting the noodle quality were studied, which is established by the PLS method to select the optimal ranges of index for quick-frozen highland barley fish noodles processing.Results showed that the kernel physio-chemical properties, including the protein content, total starch, moisture, amylase, and β-glucan and b value.Among them, the protein content was most closely linked to the noodle quality, with coefficient of 0.703.The good preference and high reliability of the model could be indicated by experiments and practice, which could predict quick-frozen highland barley fish noodles quality based on the core measures of the kernel physio-chemical properties.The optimum range of quality index of highland barley was 26.02%-28.97% for amylose content, 60.56%-63.17% for total starch content, 9.02%-10.61% for protein content, 1.13%-1.39% for ash content, 9.83%-11.46% for water content,6.00%-7.96% for β-glucan content, and 12.27-18.15 for b value. |
