Abstract

Yellow noodles have been reported to contain boric acid in Malaysia recently. In this study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the effectiveness of boric acid removal from locally manufactured yellow noodles by hot water leaching technique. Noodle samples were treated in boiling distilled water. Spectrophotometric assay in curcumin was used to analyze total boric acid content. Results showed that up to 33% boric acid can be removed in 40 seconds. This report also suggests that boric acid in yellow noodles can be reduced to acceptable level for consumption through hot water leaching.
