RECONSTITUTION IMPROVER FOR INSTANT NOODLE, AND INSTANT NOODLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reconstitution improver for instant noodles with which noodles can be reconstituted in a short time regardless of the width or thickness of noodle ribbons, the noodles maintain springiness similar to those of just boiled-up noodles and a good palate feeling on the tongue, and the noodle flavor gives no influence on soup flavor so that original flavor of the noodles is kept alive; and to provide instant noodles.;SOLUTION: The reconstitution improver for instant noodles comprises oil and fat pregelatinized starch, and glutathione. The instant noodles each has a groove along the longitudinal direction of each noodle ribbon. The cross section of the groove is formed into a wedge-shape cut in its center direction. The groove depth of the noodle accounts for 10-40% of the thickness of the noodle, the center angle is 30-100 degrees, and the specific gravity of the noodle is 1.35-1.65 g/cm³.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
