2. Description of the Related Art As instant noodles, fried instant noodles obtained by frying noodle chunks are popular because they are easy to manufacture. However, since this product is dried by frying, it has a high-calorie taste and texture. Moreover, there is a problem that it is not suitable for long-term storage, such as deterioration of quality of taste and texture due to alteration and deterioration of oil during storage. On the other hand, non-fried dry instant noodles by hot air drying or freeze vacuum drying have been proposed instead of drying by frying. These instant noodles have a refreshing taste and texture without oiliness and have low calories,
Shelf life is also improved. However, in non-fried dry instant noodles using hot air drying, the gelatinized noodles are dried with high temperature hot air, so that the noodle strings are tight and the restorability upon returning to hot water is poor. As a method of compensating for this drawback, measures have been taken to make the surface and inner layer of the noodle band porous, but in this case, the surface of the noodle band becomes rough and smoothness is lost. In order to solve such a problem of taste and texture, there is an attempt to improve it by adding other starches, but the noodle strings obtained have problems such as loss of original taste and texture.

On the other hand, non-fried dry instant noodles using freeze-vacuum drying reduce the water content until the noodles can be stored at room temperature by vacuum-drying the frozen noodle strings after boiling.
It takes a long time to dry, the productivity is poor, and the manufacturing cost is high.In addition, the inner layer of the dried noodle band is sponge-like, so the water reconstitution is good, but the growth after reconstitution is fast. In addition, the noodle strings have a whitish and unnatural color, which is not desirable in appearance. In addition, there is a peculiar odor that can be attributed to freeze-drying. As described above, non-fried dry instant noodles have a problem that not only the production method but also the instant noodles themselves are required to be improved.

Here, the gelatinization degree of starch and the shape of starch granules will be described. The gelatinization of starch means to change it into a state in which it is easily digested in the digestive tract at the time of eating. Requires heat and moisture. Therefore, it is necessary to steam the raw noodles or boil them with boiling water. In each case, the gelatinization of starch progresses, but the shape of starch granules is different. That is, the starch granules gradually swell while absorbing water and α
However, if this phenomenon progresses further, the starch granules will collapse. In the case of steaming, only a small amount of water contained in the steam and water inside the noodle strips are transferred to the starch, so that most of the starch particles swell but do not collapse.
On the other hand, when boiling in boiling water, most of the starch granules are in a collapsed state because water continues to migrate from the outside of the noodle band.

When this difference was examined, it became clear that it affects the taste and taste when eating noodles.
That is, when most of the starch granules remain, they are inferior in smoothness and elasticity as compared with the case where the starch granules are disintegrated, and the taste is powdery. However, when most of the starch granules are disintegrated, the original taste of the noodles is maintained, which is the same as when the raw noodles were boiled. Therefore, it can be said that the dry instant noodles prepared by simply pouring boiling water have excellent taste and texture when most of the starch grains are disintegrated. However, if the starch granules disintegrate too much, the starch will become paste and lose the properties as noodles.
In this way, the present inventors have found that the starch in the noodle masses is almost completely α
It has been found that it is preferable to combine the state where the starch granules have been broken down and the starch granules are almost collapsed.
