Disclosure of Invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing low-sodium fried noodles that have excellent dough-making properties and excellent texture and flavor.

Means for solving the problems

The present inventors have studied a noodle-making technique without adding salt during the process of reducing the salt content, and as a result, have found that, when noodle-making is carried out by adding potassium lactate, noodle-making can be carried out without deterioration in flavor and taste as compared with the conventional noodle-making technique with adding salt, and the present invention has been achieved.

Namely, a method for producing a fried noodle, comprising: kneading a main raw material powder, water, and potassium lactate as an auxiliary raw material in an amount of 1 to 3 wt% based on the total weight of the main raw material powder to produce a raw fabric; a step of preparing noodles from the prepared raw fabric; a step of subjecting the produced noodles to a boiling treatment to convert the noodles into alphabets; and a step of frying and drying the gelatinized noodle strings.

Effects of the invention

The present invention can provide a low-sodium fried production method having excellent dough-making properties and excellent texture and flavor.

Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in detail below. However, the present invention is not limited to the following description.

1. Raw material compounding

Examples of the main raw material powder used for the production of the fried noodles according to the present invention include wheat flour (including durum wheat flour), buckwheat flour, cereal flour such as barley flour and rice flour, and various starches such as potato starch, tapioca starch and corn starch, which may be used alone or in combination. As the starch, raw starch, gelatinized starch, and processed starch such as acetylated starch, etherified starch, and crosslinked starch may be used.

In the present invention, 1 to 3 wt% of potassium lactate is added as an auxiliary raw material based on the total weight of the main raw material powders. By adding potassium lactate, fried noodles having sufficient dough-making property and good texture can be produced without adding salt. The method of addition is not particularly limited, and it is preferable to add the water dissolved in kneading water. When the potassium lactate is less than 1% by weight, the raw material is insufficient in stretchability and viscoelasticity without adding salt, and it is difficult to obtain a texture having sufficient dough-making property and elasticity. On the other hand, when more than 3% by weight of potassium lactate is added, not only the taste of the noodles is affected, but also the water absorption is increased, and the noodles are softened during cooking. The amount of potassium lactate added is preferably 1.0 to 2.0 wt%, more preferably 1.5 to 2.0 wt%, based on the total weight of the main raw material powder.

In the present invention, as other auxiliary materials, various pigments such as common salt, alkali agent, phosphate, various thickeners, flour quality improving agent, edible oil and fat, pH adjuster, carotene pigment, and preservative can be added. These may be added together with the main raw material powder, or may be added dissolved or suspended in kneading water. When an alkaline agent such as carbonate or a phosphate is added, the sodium content is small even when a sodium salt is added, and therefore, the salt reduction is not greatly affected, but it is preferable to use a potassium salt or the like and to use as little sodium salt as possible.

2Kneading step (c)

The manufacturing method of the raw fabric (dow) provided by the invention is carried out according to a conventional method. That is, the dough material powder and kneading water may be uniformly mixed by a batch mixer, a flow jet mixer, a vacuum mixer, or the like, and a raw dough in a crushed state may be produced.

3. Noodle making process

Then, noodles are produced from the produced raw material. The production method may be carried out according to a conventional method, and includes a method of producing noodles by rolling raw noodles into a rough noodle band, then forming a noodle band by combining or the like, further rolling the noodle band a plurality of times by a roll to a predetermined noodle band thickness, and then cutting the noodle band by a cutting roll called a cutting blade.

4. Steaming step

The raw noodles obtained in the noodle-making process are cooked by a conventional method to convert the noodles into alphabets. The cooking conditions differ depending on the type of noodle and the thickness of noodle, and therefore, the preferable conditions may be appropriately set according to the target texture. The cooking method is not limited to cooking and heating with saturated steam, but may be heating with superheated steam, or may be combined with a water replenishment step such as spraying or dipping. The cooked noodles may be further soaked with seasoning liquid and added with bulking agent as required.

5. Drying step

The noodles were cut into 1 part, measured, filled in a container called a drying holder, and fried to dry. The drying temperature is preferably 140 to 160 ℃. Drying is carried out so that the water content after drying is 1.5 to 5 wt%.

As described above, the method for producing low-sodium fried noodles having excellent dough-making properties and excellent texture and flavor can be provided by kneading the main raw material powder, water, and potassium lactate as an auxiliary material in an amount of 1 to 3 wt% based on the total weight of the main raw material powder to produce raw noodles, producing noodles from the produced raw noodles, and cooking, frying and drying the noodles to produce fried noodles.

Examples

The present embodiment will be described in further detail below with reference to examples.

(example 1)

In a main raw material powder composed of 900g of wheat flour and 100g of tapioca acetylated starch, 5g of calcium carbonate was powder-mixed as an auxiliary raw material, 19.2g of a 78% potassium lactate aqueous solution (15 g of potassium lactate), 1g of potassium carbonate, 1g of sodium carbonate and 1g of sodium metaphosphate were dissolved in 350g of water, and the mixture was mixed for 15 minutes by a normal pressure mixer to prepare a raw dough (dow).

And (4) making the raw fabric into a rough surface belt by using a roller, and compounding to prepare the surface belt. The produced noodle strips were rolled by a roller so that the final noodle strip thickness became 0.75mm, and the noodle strips were cut by a No. 20 square cutting edge roller to prepare noodles.

Next, the noodles were subjected to steaming in a steaming chamber into which 250kg/h of saturated steam was introduced for 2 minutes to convert the noodles into alphabets.

The gelatinized noodle strings were immersed in a seasoning liquid prepared by dissolving 10g of common salt and 4g of sodium glutamine in water to a constant volume of 1L, cut into about 30cm, and then filled in a holder (container) for frying in 1 part of 105g, and dried at 150 ℃ for 2 minutes and 30 seconds to obtain a fried noodle sample having a moisture content of 2 wt%. The areal weight at this time was 60 g.
