Improvement in Noodle Quality and Changes in Microstructure and Disulfide Bond Content through the Addition of Pepper Straw Ash Leachate.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Every year, a significant amount of pepper stalks are wasted due to low utilization. The ash produced from pepper stalks contains a significant amount of alkaline salts, which are food additives that can enhance the quality of noodles. Therefore, utilizing natural pepper straw ash to improve the quality of noodles shows promising development prospects. In this study, pepper straw ash leachate (PSAL) was extracted and added to noodles. The quality of the noodles gradually improved with the addition of PSAL, with the best effect observed at a concentration of 18% (PSAL mass/flour mass). This addition resulted in a 57.8% increase in noodle hardness, a 55.43% increase in chewiness, a 19.41% rise in water absorption rate, and a 13.28% increase in disulfide bond content. These alterations rendered the noodles more resilient during cooking, reducing their tendency to soften and thus enhancing chewiness and palatability. Incorporating PSAL also reduced cooking loss by 57.79%. Free sulfhydryl groups decreased by 5.1%, and scanning electron microscopy revealed a denser gluten network structure in the noodles, with more complete starch wrapping. This study significantly enhanced noodle quality and provided a new pathway for the application of pepper straw resources in the food industry.
