The study aims to determine the effect of the proportion of κ-carrageenan and the hot water extract of pluchea leaf tea on the quality and sensory properties of stink lily wet noodles. The research design is a randomized block design with two factors, i.e., the difference in the proportion of κ-carrageenan (K) (0, 1, 2, and 3% w/w) and the addition of the hot water extract of the Pluchea indica Less leaf tea (L) (0, 15, and 30% w/v), with 12 treatment levels (K0L0, K0L1, K0L2, K1L0, K1L1, K1L2, K2L0, K2L1, K2L2, K3L0, K3L1, K3L2). The data are analyzed by the ANOVA at p < 5% and continued with the Duncan’s multiple range test at p < 5%, and the best treatment was determined by the spider web method based on sensory assay by a hedonic method. The proportions of κ-carrageenan and the concentration of pluchea tea extract had a significant effect on the cooking quality and sensory properties. However, the interaction of the two factors affected the swelling index, yellowness (b*), chroma (C), hue (h), total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and DPPH free radical scavenging assay (DPPH). The best treatment of wet noodles was K2L0, with a preference score of 15.8. The binding of κ-carrageenan and phenolic compounds to make a networking structure by intra- and inter-disulfide bind between glucomannan and gluten was thought to affect the cooking quality, sensory properties, bioactive compounds (TPC and TFC), and DPPH.
