However, WG and SPI regulated noodle quality through different pathways. WG optimized noodle texture by consolidating gel networks, whereas SPI inhibited starch retrogradation and water movement to slow noodle hardening. SPI performed better in alleviating rice noodle stiffness, and samples containing 6% SPI presented a hardness increase rate as low as 1.44\u202fg\u00b7d\n                      <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                      after 14\u202fdays of storage. Within the WG addition range of 1\u20136%, increasing WG dosage elevated noodle hardness while reducing adhesiveness and cooking loss. Supplementation of SPI over 3% negatively affected noodle quality, which could be attributed to its strong inhibition against starch retrogradation.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n
