Dietary fiber-containing noodles of high taste mouthfeel

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dietary fiber-containing wheat noodle with high taste and texture inherent to wheat noodle, having a health function imparted by the dietary fiber contained in wheat noodle without influence on the taste and texture of the wheat noodle from inclusion of the dietary fiber.;SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing a dietary fiber-containing wheat noodle from wheat noodle raw material of wheat flour or wheat flour further blended with starch includes the steps of: (1) mixing by kneading wheat noodle raw material flour added with dietary fiber, other additives, and salt water; and (2) maturating by applying pressure to the prepared kneaded dough. The steps are performed under specific conditions, so that the physical properties of dough during wheat noodle manufacturing, noodle-making characteristics, and the taste and texture of the manufactured wheat noodle can be improved. Consequently the dietary fiber-containing wheat noodle achieves both of the health function due to dietary fiber and the taste and texture inherent to wheat noodle. The method for manufacturing a dietary fiber-containing raw wheat noodle can prevent problems in manufacturing a dietary fiber-containing wheat noodle from wheat noodle raw material and dietary fiber, such as worsening in noodle-making characteristics and degradation of the taste and texture of wheat noodles.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT
