FRN is a non-gluten noodle and requires gelatinisation of starch during processing. FRN is considered a highly perishable food due to its high moisture content, which is susceptible to microbial deterioration. Electron beam irradiation was performed on FRN&#039;s physical, chemical, and microbiological properties. FRN was prepared with 90% rice flour; the remaining 10% was either tapioca, potato, or sago. The noodle was then irradiated at 0, 3, 6, and 9 kGy by electron beam (EB). EB irradiation significantly increased the firmness, breaking length, and cooking  loss,  whereas  the  cooking  yield  and  yellowness  (b*)  of  the  FRN  were  significantly  decreased. However, all irradiation doses did not affect the pH, water activity, moisture content, lightness (L*), and greenness (a*). The total plate count (TPC) of the FRN was determined on days 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. The results showed that the irradiation dose at 9 kGy was the most effective as it reduced the microbial count until day 10. Thus, the pH, moisture content, water activity, lightness, and greenness of FRN were not changed by EB irradiation, but the textural and cooking qualities were considerably altered.<\/p>\r\n        \r\n                    <p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong>\r\n                breaking length, electron beam, firmness, flat rice noodle, microbial quality            <\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t<div class=\"asmsj-citation-box\">\r\n        <h3>How to Cite<\/h3>\r\n        <p id=\"citation-text\">\r\n            2026.
