The quality properties of fresh noodles with NaCl and alkali were characterized by rheological, cooking, and texture properties. Microstructure, starch viscosity, protein conformation, gelatinization and protein polymerization during cooking, and water status were determined to investigate the mechanisms underlying their quality differences. The results showed that alkali induced more significantly increased (P < .05) gluten strength and noodle hardness, while NaCl resulted in superior dough extensibility. Pasting viscosity of alkaliflour increased and protein conformation changes were detected in alkaline noodles with increased beta-sheet and decreased alpha-helix structures. Both NaCl and alkali increased cooking loss. NaCl induced a fibrous gluten structure while alkali caused a membrane-like structure. Furthermore, remarkable protein aggregates were observed in alkaline noodles immediately after 2 min of cooking in non-reduced HPLC patterns, while 4 min in reduced patterns. Water-solids interaction in alkaline noodles was enhanced with decreased water mobility. NaCl induced no significant changes in protein aggregation and water status.
