The physicochemical, volatile, amino acid, and sensory profiles of salted duck egg white (SDEW) incorporated in instant noodles were studied. There were nine instant noodle samples tested in the present work namely C1: wheat flour; WF; C2: WF ± non-salted duck egg white; T1: WF ± SDEW - 0 d; T2: WF ± SDEW - 5 d; T3: WF ± SDEW - 10 d; T4: WF ± SDEW -15 d; T5: WF ± SDEW - 20 d; T6: WF ± SDEW - 25 d; and T7: WF ± SDEW - 30 d. The colour coordinates of lightness and yellowness continuously decreased from C2 to T7 (p <0.05). The pH of C1 was the lowest. The cooking yield and optimum cooking time were highest for T7 (p < 0.05). Similarly, the hardness, firmness, chewiness, tensile strength, and elasticity were higher for SDEW-added noodles (p < 0.05). Conversely, the stickiness decreased but remained high in SDEW-added noodles. The free sulfhydryl (SH) and disulphide (SS) groups were higher in duck egg white (DEW) than in SDEW-added noodles. DEW- and SDEW-added noodles showed a wide range of flavour compounds (p < 0.05). Furthermore, there were 19 amino acids detected in the noodles, and SDEW-added noodles showed more and wider variety of amino acids (p < 0.05). Sensory characteristics such as colour, roughness, stickiness, firmness, flavour, and overall liking were slightly higher for T5 than the other treatments.
