Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は即席麺類の製造方法および該方法により得られる即席麺類に関する。より詳細には、湯戻しなどによって短い時間で喫食可能に復元でき、復元したときに、弾力性と滑らかさに富み良好な食感を有する高品質の即席麺類、およびその製造方法に関するものであり、本発明による場合は、前記した高品質の即席麺類を、従来よりもスムーズに、短い凍結真空乾燥時間で生産性良く製造することができる。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
即席麺類は、熱湯を注いだり短時間湯煮するだけで極めて簡単に喫食可能に復元できるという即席性、および良好な保存性などの点から消費者の幅広い支持を得ている。そして、当初はインスタントラーメンのみであった即席麺も、近年は種々のものが開発販売されるようになっており、即席麺類をその乾燥方法により分類すると、即席油揚麺、即席熱風乾燥麺および即席凍結乾燥麺に分けられ、またその種類で分類すると即席中華麺類、即席和風麺類、即席欧風麺類、スナック麺類などに大別される。
【0003】
即席油揚麺は、製造が容易であり、しかも短時間で喫食可能に復元できるところから、従来から即席麺類の主流をなしていた。しかしながら、即席油揚麺は、油を用いていることによって、その食感が油っぽく、且つ高カロリーであり、しかも保存時に油が変質して食感の低下や品質の低下を招き易く、長期保存ができないという欠点がある。
そこで、即席油揚麺に代わるものとして、即席熱風乾燥麺および即席凍結乾燥麺が製造されるようになっている。即席熱風乾燥麺および即席凍結乾燥麺は、乾燥時に油を用いないノンフライの即席麺であることにより、油っぽさのないさっぱりした食感を有し、且つ低カロリーであり、しかも保存時に油の変質による品質の低下や食感の低下がないことから、消費者の低カロリー志向などとも相俟って、近年その生産量が伸びている。
【0004】
そして、即席熱風乾燥麺の製造法としては、α化処理した麺線を一段階ないしは二段階の熱風乾燥工程で加熱して麺類の保存が可能になるまで水分含量を低減させる方法や、麺線をα化処理した後熱風乾燥して麺類の保存が可能になるまで水分含量を低減させる方法などが従来採用されている。しかしながら、それらの従来法による場合は、多量の水分を含有するα化した麺類を直接加熱乾燥しているために、麺線の膨化が過度になって、麺線表面の滑らかさが失われたり、麺が硬くなったりして、食感が不良になり易く、しかも湯戻しなどで喫食可能に復元するのに時間がかかるという欠点がある。
【0005】
一方、即席凍結乾燥麺は、上記した即席熱風乾燥麺に比べて、食感が優れ、復元性に優れているという長所を有しており、即席凍結乾燥麺の製造に当たっては、通常、麺線をα化処理した後、所定量ずつ玉取りして、凍結し、真空乾燥する方法が一般に採用されている。そして、その場合のα化処理に当たっては、茹処理する方法、蒸熱処理後に茹処理する方法などが採用されており、その場合の蒸熱処理は一般にドライ水蒸気を用いて行われている。ドライ水蒸気を用いて蒸熱処理した後に茹処理する従来法による場合は、茹処理のみを行う場合に比べて、麺線の保形性が高められるという長所があるが、未だその保形性が十分であるとは言えず、得られる即席麺類が割れたり、欠けたりすることがあり、しかも復元した麺類の弾力性が未だ十分であるとは言えず、食感の点で改良の余地がある。その上、蒸熱処理時に麺線間に付着が生じ易く、その後の切断処理や茹処理時の作業性が劣る。また、加熱乾燥に比べて設備面や熱効率などの点で経費のかかる真空乾燥を長時間に亙って行う必要があるため、生産性が低く、製造コストが高くなるという欠点がある。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、保形性が良好で乾燥状態にあるときに割れたり欠けたりせず、復元時に麺線がほぐれ易く、湯戻しなどによって短時間で喫食可能に復元することができ、復元したときに弾力性および滑らかさに富む良好な食感を有する高品質のノンフライの即席麺類を、α化した麺線同士の付着による作業性の低下などを防止しながら、良好な秤量性で、従来よりも短い真空乾燥時間で、生産性良く効率的に製造することのできる方法を提供することである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を解決すべく本発明者らは色々検討を重ねてきた。その結果、生麺線を蒸熱処理後に茹処理してから凍結し真空乾燥して即席麺類を製造する方法を採用して即席麺類を製造するに当たって、生麺線をウエーブを形成した状態でウエット水蒸気で蒸熱処理し、次いで、該蒸熱処理した麺線を、そのまま直接茹処理せずに、麺線への水の散布処理と麺線のウエーブの伸ばし処理を行い、通常は、その後に麺線を所定長に切断してから、茹処理し、凍結、真空乾燥すると、蒸熱処理時に麺線同士の付着が生じた場合にも、麺線同士の付着が解除されてその後の所定長への切断、茹処理、秤量などの作業を円滑に行えること、しかも真空乾燥時間を従来よりも短縮できること、その上、それにより得られる即席麺類は、欠けたり割れたりせず保形性に優れ、さらに復元時に麺線がほぐれ易く、復元したときに弾力があり且つ滑らかさに富む良好な食感を有することを見出して本発明を完成した。
【0008】
すなわち、本発明は、即席麺類の製造方法であって、
(a)生麺線を、ウエーブを形成させた状態でウエット水蒸気で蒸熱処理する工程;
(b)蒸熱処理した麺線に水を散布し、麺線のウエーブを伸ばす工程;
(c)麺線を茹処理する工程;および
(d)茹処理した麺線を凍結し真空乾燥する工程;
を有していることを特徴とする即席麺類の製造方法である。
【0009】
そして、上記した本発明の即席麺類の製造方法においては、工程(b)の麺線への水の散布および麺線のウエーブの伸ばし処理を行った後に麺線を所定長に切断し、該所定長さに切断された麺線を工程(c)で茹処理し、次いで工程(d)において凍結、真空乾燥する方法が好ましく採用される。
また、本発明は上記した製造方法により得られる即席麺類を包含する。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明について詳細に説明する。
本発明では即席麺類の種類は特に限定されず、即席和風麺類(即席うどん、即席きしめん、即席そうめん、即席ひやむぎ、即席日本そばなど)、即席中華麺類(即席ラーメンなど)、即席欧風麺類(即席スパゲティー、即席マカロニなど)などを包含し、それらのうちでも特に即席うどん、即席そうめん、即席日本そば、即席ラーメンなどの製造に適している。
【0011】
本発明では、工程(a)において、生麺線を、ウエーブを形成させた状態でウエット水蒸気で蒸熱処理してα化する。
その場合の生麺線は、例えば小麦粉、ライ麦粉、大麦粉、オーツ粉、そば粉、米粉、馬鈴薯澱粉、タピオカ澱粉、コーンスターチ、カタクリ粉、やまいも粉などの種々の穀粉類の1種または2種以上を使用して製造しておくことができ、そのうちでも通常の麺類と同様に、小麦粉を主体とする穀粉類から製造することが好ましい。また生麺線は、上記した穀粉類の他に、必要に応じて、食塩、かん水(かん粉)、油脂類、縮合リン酸塩、乳化剤、蛋白強化剤、増粘剤、卵白、卵黄、全卵、着色料、酸化防止剤などの他の成分の1種または2種以上を含有していてもよい。
【0012】
蒸熱処理する前の生麺線の製法は特に制限されず、従来の製麺法にしたがって製造すればよく、例えば、混捏−圧延−麺線への切出し、混捏−圧延−複合−圧延−麺線への切出し、混捏−生地熟成−圧延−麺線への切出し、混捏−生地熟成−圧延−複合−圧延−麺線への切出し、混捏−麺帯押出し−麺線への切出し、混捏−麺線押出しなどの方法によって製造することができる。前記した生麺線の製造工程において、混捏により得られる生地を熟成してから圧延や押出しによって麺帯にし、それを麺線にすると、食感および食味に一層優れる凍結乾燥即席麺類を得ることができるので望ましい。
【0013】
生麺線の水分含量は、麺類の種類などに応じて異なり得るが、一般に30〜45重量%としておくことが好ましく、前記した水分含量にしておくと、工程(a)(蒸熱処理)および工程(b)(水の散布処理とウエーブの伸ばし処理)を経た麺線を工程(c)で茹処理する際にその茹処理を比較的短い時間で円滑に実施でき、しかも工程(d)の真空乾燥時間を短くすることができる。
生麺線の厚さや幅(太さ)は特に制限されず、麺類の種類などに応じて、従来と同様のサイズにしておけばよい。
【0014】
本発明では、工程(a)の蒸熱処理をウエット水蒸気を用いて行うことが必要である。本発明で用いる「ウエット水蒸気」は、水蒸気を飽和状態、過飽和状態またはそれに近い状態で含んでいて、水滴を発生し易い(結露し易い)水蒸気をいう。ウエット水蒸気は、例えばセイロや通常の蒸し器などに見るように、湯浴を加熱することによって水蒸気を発生させる形式の水蒸気発生装置によって発生させることができる。
本発明では、工程(a)の蒸熱処理をウエット水蒸気を用いて行うことによって、工程(c)の茹処理を短時間で行うことが可能になり、最終的に得られる即席麺類が砕けたり割れたりしにくくなり、しかも復元したときに弾力性と滑らかさに富む良好な食感を有するようになる。
生麺線をウエット水蒸気で蒸熱処理する際の蒸熱処理装置などは特に制限されず、例えば、連続した長尺の麺線を網製コンベアに載せ、そのコンベアの下方に水を入れたトレーやその他の上部の開放した容器を配置し、その容器を加熱してウエット水蒸気を発生させ、そのウエット水蒸気を、コンベア上に載置されて移動する生麺線に当てて、生麺線の蒸熱処理を行う方法などが好ましく採用される。
【0015】
工程(a)の蒸熱処理をウエット水蒸気で行わずに、ドライ水蒸気(例えば高温高圧下で発生させた水蒸気をそれよりも低い圧力状態にしたときに得られる水滴を発生しにくい水蒸気)を用いて行うと、工程(a)で麺線のα化が十分に行われなくなって、その後の工程(c)での茹処理に長い時間を要するようになり、しかも復元性、食感などに優れる即席麺類を得ることができにくくなり、本発明の目的を達成できない。
【0016】
さらに、本発明では、工程(a)のウエット水蒸気による蒸熱処理を、生麺線にウエーブを形成させた状態で行うことが必要である。生麺線のウエット水蒸気による蒸熱処理をウエーブを形成させた状態で行うことによって、蒸熱処理時に水蒸気が麺線に当たり易くなって、α化が効率よく行われ、しかも次工程以降において麺線がほぐれ易くなり、作業性が良好になる。生麺線にウエーブを形成させる方法としては、例えば、麺帯から麺線を切り出す切刃にゴム板を取り付けてウエーブを形成させる方法、麺帯から麺線を切り出す切刃に導管を取り付けてウエーブを形成させる方法、切刃で切り出した麺線を移送するコンベヤのスピードを麺線への切り出し速度よりも遅くしてウエーブを形成させる方法などを採用することができる。
【0017】
また、本発明では、工程(a)の蒸熱処理を、連続した長尺の形態の生麺線を用いて、生麺線にウエーブを形成させた状態で、上記したような網製コンベアなどの上に載せて、蒸熱処理装置に連続的に供給して行う方法が好ましく採用される。連続した長尺の生麺線を用いて蒸熱処理を連続的に行うことによって、工程(a)と共に、次の工程(b)を円滑に行うことができる。
【0018】
工程(a)の蒸熱処理で用いるウエット水蒸気の温度は、一般に95〜100℃であることが好ましく、ウエット水蒸気の温度を前記した範囲にすることによって、麺線の蒸熱処理を短時間に円滑に行うことができる。また、工程(a)の蒸熱処理の時間は一般に1〜3分程度であることが、即席麺類の食味や食感が良好なものとなる点から好ましい。
【0019】
次いで、工程(b)において、工程(a)で蒸熱処理して麺線表面を糊化した麺線に、水を散布すると共に麺線のウエーブを伸ばす。この工程(b)を行うに当たっては、麺線のウエーブを伸ばした後に水を散布する方法、麺線に水を散布した後にウエーブを伸ばす方法、または麺線のウエーブを伸ばすと同時に水を散布する方法のいずれを採用してもよく、そのうちでも、麺線のウエーブを伸ばした後に水を散布する方法が好ましく用いられる。
【0020】
工程(b)は、工程(b)で水を散布した後の麺線の水分含量が60〜65重量%になるようにして行うことが好ましい。水分含量を前記した範囲に調整することによって、凍結後に真空乾燥して得られる即席麺類の復元性が向上し、しかも弾力性および滑らかさに富む、良好な品質となる。
【0021】
また、麺線に形成させたウエーブを工程(b)で伸ばすことによって、前記の工程(a)における蒸熱処理によって麺線同士の付着が生じた場合にも、工程(b)で麺線を分離させることができ、麺線の以後の取り扱い性が良好になる。さらに、工程(b)で麺線のウエーブを伸ばすことによって、工程(b)の後に行われる麺線の所定長への切断が円滑に行われるようになり、また該切断した麺線の秤量が正確に行われるようになる。
【0022】
工程(a)および工程(b)を、連続移動するコンベア上に連続した長尺の麺線を載置して移送する方法を採用して行う場合は、工程(b)におけるコンベアの移動速度を工程(a)におけるコンベアの移動速度よりも速くすることによって、工程(b)で麺線のウエーブを伸ばすことができる。その場合に、[工程(a)におけるコンベアの移動速度]:[工程(b)におけるコンベアの移動速度]の比、すなわち[工程(b)への麺線の供給速度]:[工程(b)からの麺線の取り出し速度]の比を1:1.5〜1:4とすることが好ましい。
【0023】
工程(b)において麺線に散布する水の温度は、一般に5〜20℃であることが好ましく、それによって麺線同士の再付着がなくなり、しかも麺線に対する水による引き締め作用が働いて、弾力性に富む麺類が得られる。また、麺線に対する水の散布量は、一般に、蒸熱処理を施された麺線100g当たり約0.1〜0.2リットル程度となるようにすることが好ましい。
また、麺線への水の散布方法としては、蒸熱処理した麺線の表面全体に水が均一またはほぼ均一に散布され得る方法であればいずれの方法を採用してもよく、一般的にはシャワーによる方法などが採用される。
【0024】
次いで、上記の工程(b)で水の散布処理とウエーブを伸ばした麺線を、工程(c)において茹処理する。この茹処理は、工程(a)の蒸熱処理によってα化された麺線にさらに適量の水を含ませることによって、即席麺類の食味、食感を向上させる。この茹処理は、茹処理後の麺線の水分含量が67〜72重量%程度の範囲になるように行うことが好ましい。
【0025】
なお、本明細書でいう、上記した生麺線の水分含量、蒸熱処理後の麺線の水分含量、茹処理後の麺線の水分含量、および後記する真空乾燥後の麺の水分含量は、下記の数式(1)により求めた値をいう。
【0026】
【数1】
麺線(麺)の水分含量(重量%)={(A−0.086B)/A}×100 (1)
但し、A=麺線(麺)の重量
B=麺線(麺)の製造に用いた小麦粉、そば粉およびその他の主原料たる穀粉類の重量(g)(但し水分含量14重量%に換算した重量)
【0027】
工程(c)の茹処理に用いるお湯の温度は、一般に90〜99℃であることが、麺線の煮崩れ、べとつきなどを防止しながら、短い時間で麺線に所定量の水を含ませることができる点から好ましい。
また、その場合の茹処理時間としては、麺の種類や太さなどに応じて調整し得るが、一般に2〜5分の茹処理時間が好ましく採用される。
茹処理を行うに当たっては、次の工程(d)における凍結、真空乾燥が行い易いように、最終的に製造しようとする即席麺類の量に合わせて、1食分または数食分ずつに玉取りして茹処理を行っても、或いは玉取りせずに一まとめにして茹処理を行ってもよく、玉取りして茹処理を行うことが作業性などの点から好ましい。
【0028】
次いで、工程(d)において、上記の工程(c)で茹処理を行った麺線を、好ましくは水洗した後、凍結処理し、真空乾燥する。麺線の凍結処理を行うに当たっては、麺線を所定の重量に玉取りし、それを型枠や最終容器などに詰めてから凍結処理を行うことが好ましい。凍結処理は急速凍結および緩慢凍結のいずれで行ってもよいが、急速凍結で行うことが、麺線全体に微細な氷が均一に形成されて、真空乾燥が円滑に行われ、しかも復元性に優れ、且つ弾力性および滑らかさに富む即席麺類が得られるので好ましい。急速凍結によって麺線を凍結する場合は、一般に、−70℃〜−95℃の温度で、約8〜10分かけて凍結させるのがよく、それによって麺の中心温度を速やかに−5℃以下にすることができる。そして、凍結した麺を真空乾燥前に貯蔵しておく場合は、通常−25℃〜−35℃の冷凍庫に入れて真空乾燥処理を施すまで貯蔵しておくことが次の真空乾燥処理が円滑に行われるので好ましい。
【0029】
そして、凍結処理を行った麺類を、次いで、麺類の水分含量が7重量%以下になるまで真空乾燥処理して即席麺類にする。この真空乾燥は、一般に、約0.2〜1mmHgの真空下に約20〜24時間の条件下で行うことが、復元性や食感に優れる即席麺類を円滑に得ることができる点から好ましい。
【0030】
本発明では、工程(a)のウエット水蒸気による蒸熱処理に引き続いて、麺線に水を散布し麺線のウエーブを伸ばす工程(b)を採用していることにより、麺線同士の再付着が防止され、しかも麺線に腰が付与され、麺線が空隙部を多く有する状態で麺塊状に玉取りされ、空隙部の多い状態で凍結され、そのために、凍結処理およびその後の真空乾燥処理を円滑に実施することが可能になり、麺線への水の散布および麺線のウエーブの伸ばし処理を行わない従来法に比べて、真空乾燥処理時間を約5%またはそれ以上も短縮することが可能になり、しかも最終的に得られる即席麺類は復元性および食感に優れたものとなる。
【0031】
上記により得られる即席麺類は、必要に応じて包装して、常温で流通、販売することができる。即席麺類の復元に当たっては、単に熱湯を注いだり、熱湯中に浸漬したり、熱湯中で短時間煮たり、場合によっては常温の水に浸漬することによって、喫食可能な状態に速やかに復元することができる。
【0032】
【実施例】
以下に実施例などにより本発明を具体的に説明するが、本発明はそれにより限定されない。
以下の例において、生麺線の水分含量、蒸熱処理後の麺線の水分含量、茹処理後の麺線の水分含量および即席麺類の水分含量は、上記の数式(1)により求めた。
更に、湯戻した麺類の復元状態および食感は、下記の表1に記載した評価基準によって10人のパネラーに評価してもらって、その平均値を採った。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing instant noodles and instant noodles obtained by the method. More particularly, the present invention relates to high-quality instant noodles that can be restored to be eaten in a short time by reconstitution with hot water, etc., and have a good texture that is rich in elasticity and smoothness, and a method for producing the same. In the case of the present invention, the above-described high-quality instant noodles can be produced smoothly and with good productivity in a short freeze-drying time.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Instant noodles have gained widespread consumer support in terms of instant characteristics, such as being able to be restored to a very easy-to-eat state by simply pouring hot water or boiled for a short time, and good preservation. In addition, instant noodles that were initially instant noodles have been developed and sold in recent years. When instant noodles are classified according to their drying method, instant fried noodles, instant hot-air dried noodles and instant noodles The noodles are classified into freeze-dried noodles, and are roughly classified into instant Chinese noodles, instant Japanese noodles, instant European noodles, snack noodles and the like.
[0003]
Instant fried noodles have been the mainstream of instant noodles since they are easy to manufacture and can be restored in a short time. However, instant fried noodles have an oily and high-calorie texture due to the use of oil, and the oil is likely to deteriorate during storage, leading to a decrease in texture and quality. There is a disadvantage that it cannot be stored.
Therefore, instant hot-air dried noodles and instant freeze-dried noodles are manufactured as an alternative to instant fried noodles. Instant hot-air dried noodles and instant freeze-dried noodles are non-fried instant noodles that do not use oil when dried, so that they have a refreshing texture without oiliness, are low in calories, and are oily when stored Since there is no deterioration in quality and texture due to deterioration of food, the production volume has increased in recent years, coupled with consumers' preference for low calories.
[0004]
As a method for producing instant hot-air dried noodles, a method of reducing the moisture content until the noodle strings that have been pre-gelatinized are heated in a one-step or two-step hot-air drying process until the noodles can be stored, Conventionally, a method of reducing the water content until the noodles can be preserved by drying with hot air after pregelatinizing is used. However, according to those conventional methods, since the gelatinized noodles containing a large amount of water are directly heated and dried, the noodle strings are excessively swollen, and the surface of the noodle strings is lost. However, the noodles become hard and the texture tends to be poor, and it takes a long time to restore the food so that it can be eaten with hot water.
[0005]
On the other hand, instant freeze-dried noodles have the advantages of superior texture and resilience compared to the above-mentioned instant hot-air dry noodles. In general, a method is used in which a pre-treatment is carried out by crushing a predetermined amount, freezing and vacuum drying. In this case, a soot treatment method, a soot treatment method after steaming, and the like are employed, and steaming in that case is generally performed using dry steam. The conventional method in which cocoon treatment is performed after steaming with dry steam has the advantage that the shape retention of the noodle strings is improved compared to the case where only the cocoon treatment is performed, but the shape retention is still sufficient. However, the instant noodles obtained may be broken or chipped, and the elasticity of the restored noodles is still not sufficient, and there is room for improvement in terms of texture. In addition, adhesion between the noodle strings is likely to occur during the steaming heat treatment, and workability during subsequent cutting and cocoon processing is poor. Moreover, since it is necessary to perform vacuum drying over a long period of time in terms of equipment and thermal efficiency as compared with heat drying, there is a disadvantage that productivity is low and manufacturing cost is high.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The purpose of the present invention is that the shape retention is good and does not crack or chip when it is in a dry state, the noodle strings are easily loosened at the time of restoration, and can be restored in a short time by hot water reconstitution, etc. High-quality non-fried instant noodles with a good texture rich in elasticity and smoothness, while preventing deterioration of workability due to adhesion between pregelatinized noodle strings, with good weighing characteristics, An object of the present invention is to provide a method which can be efficiently produced with high productivity in a shorter vacuum drying time than conventional.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above object, the present inventors have made various studies. As a result, in the production of instant noodles by adopting a method of producing instant noodles by freezing and vacuum drying the raw noodle strings after steaming and heat treatment, wet steam is formed with the raw noodle strings in a state of forming a wave. The steamed and heat-treated noodle strings are then subjected to a spraying process of water on the noodle strings and a wave extending process of the noodle strings, without subjecting the noodle strings to direct cocoon treatment. After cutting to a predetermined length, cocoon treatment, freezing, and vacuum drying, even when noodle strings adhere to each other during steaming, the adhesion between noodle strings is released and then cut to a predetermined length, The work such as cocoon treatment and weighing can be performed smoothly, and the vacuum drying time can be shortened compared to the conventional ones.In addition, the instant noodles obtained thereby have excellent shape retention without chipping or cracking, and when restored. Noodle strings are easy to loosen and restored The present invention has been completed it found to have good texture rich is resilient and smoothness to the can.
[0008]
That is, the present invention is a method for producing instant noodles,
(A) steaming the raw noodle strings with wet steam in a state where the wave is formed;
(B) a step of spreading water on the steamed noodle strings and extending the noodle strings;
(C) cocoon-treating the noodle strings; and
(D) a step of freezing the vacuum-treated noodle strings and drying them in vacuum;
It is a manufacturing method of instant noodles characterized by having.
[0009]
And in the manufacturing method of the instant noodles of the above-mentioned this invention, after performing the dispersion | spreading of the water to the noodle strings of the process (b) and the extending | stretching process of the noodle strings, the noodle strings are cut into a predetermined length, A method in which the noodle strings cut into lengths are subjected to cocoon treatment in step (c) and then frozen and vacuum dried in step (d) is preferably employed.
The present invention also includes instant noodles obtained by the production method described above.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is described in detail below.
In the present invention, the type of instant noodles is not particularly limited, and instant Japanese noodles (improvised udon, instant kishimen, instant somen, instant hiyagi, instant soba noodles, etc.), instant Chinese noodles (immediate ramen, etc.), instant european noodles (immediate spaghetti) , Instant macaroni, etc.), among others, it is particularly suitable for the production of instant udon, instant somen, instant Japanese soba and instant ramen.
[0011]
In the present invention, in the step (a), the raw noodle strings are subjected to steam treatment with wet steam in a state in which the wave is formed, and are α-ized.
In this case, the raw noodle strings are, for example, one or more kinds of various flours such as wheat flour, rye flour, barley flour, oat flour, buckwheat flour, rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, corn starch, corn starch flour and potato flour. Among them, it is preferable to produce from flours mainly composed of wheat flour, like ordinary noodles. In addition to the above-mentioned flours, raw noodle strings can be used as required, including salt, brackish water (grease), fats and oils, condensed phosphates, emulsifiers, protein strengthening agents, thickeners, egg whites, egg yolks, whole You may contain 1 type, or 2 or more types of other components, such as an egg, a coloring agent, and antioxidant.
[0012]
The production method of the raw noodle strings before steaming is not particularly limited, and may be produced according to a conventional noodle making method. For example, kneading-rolling-cutting into noodle strings, kneading-rolling-composite-rolling-noodle strings Kneading-kneading-dough ripening-rolling-cutting into noodle strings, kneading-dough ripening-rolling-compositing-rolling-cutting into noodle strings, kneading-noodle strip extrusion-cutting into noodle strings, kneading-noodle strings It can be produced by a method such as extrusion. In the production process of the raw noodle strings, the dough obtained by kneading is ripened and then rolled or extruded to form a noodle band, which can be used as noodle strings to obtain freeze-dried instant noodles with better texture and taste. It is desirable because it is possible.
[0013]
The moisture content of the raw noodle strings may vary depending on the type of noodles and the like, but generally it is preferably 30 to 45% by weight. If the moisture content is as described above, the step (a) (steaming heat treatment) and the step (B) When noodle strings that have undergone (water spreading treatment and wave stretching treatment) are subjected to cocoon treatment in step (c), the cocoon treatment can be carried out smoothly in a relatively short time, and the vacuum in step (d) The drying time can be shortened.
The thickness and width (thickness) of the raw noodle strings are not particularly limited, and may be the same size as in the past depending on the type of noodles.
[0014]
In the present invention, it is necessary to perform the steaming heat treatment in the step (a) using wet steam. The “wet water vapor” used in the present invention refers to water vapor that contains water vapor in a saturated state, a supersaturated state, or a state close thereto, and easily generates water droplets (condenses easily). Wet water vapor can be generated by a water vapor generator of the type that generates water vapor by heating a hot water bath, as seen, for example, in a steamer or a normal steamer.
In the present invention, it is possible to perform the cocoon treatment in step (c) in a short time by performing the steam heat treatment in step (a) using wet steam, and the instant noodles finally obtained are crushed or cracked. In addition, when restored, it has a good texture rich in elasticity and smoothness.
There are no particular limitations on the steaming heat treatment apparatus when steaming the raw noodle strings with wet steam, for example, a tray with continuous long noodle strings placed on a net conveyor and water placed under the conveyor, etc. An open container at the top of the container is placed, the container is heated to generate wet steam, and the wet steam is applied to the raw noodle strings that are placed on the conveyor and moved, and steaming of the raw noodle strings is performed. The method of performing etc. is employ | adopted preferably.
[0015]
Without performing steaming heat treatment of the step (a) with wet steam, dry steam (for example, steam that is difficult to generate water droplets obtained when steam generated under high temperature and high pressure is brought into a lower pressure state) is used. If this is done, the noodle strings will not be sufficiently gelatinized in the step (a), and the cocoon treatment in the subsequent step (c) will take a long time, and the instant will be excellent in resilience, texture, etc. It becomes difficult to obtain noodles, and the object of the present invention cannot be achieved.
[0016]
Furthermore, in this invention, it is necessary to perform the steaming process by the wet water vapor | steam of a process (a) in the state in which the wave was formed in the raw noodle strings. By performing steam heat treatment of raw noodle strings with wet steam in the state of forming a wave, water vapor easily hits the noodle strings during steam heat treatment, so that alpha conversion is efficiently performed, and the noodle strings are loosened in the subsequent steps. It becomes easy and workability becomes good. As a method of forming a wave on a raw noodle strip, for example, a method of forming a wave by attaching a rubber plate to a cutting blade that cuts out a noodle strip from a noodle strip, a wave by attaching a conduit to a cutting blade that cuts out a noodle strip from a noodle strip And a method of forming a wave by lowering the speed of the conveyor for transferring the noodle strings cut by the cutting blade to the cutting speed of the noodle strings.
[0017]
Further, in the present invention, the steam heat treatment in the step (a) is performed using a continuous long-shaped raw noodle string, with a wave formed on the raw noodle string, and the net conveyor as described above. A method of placing on the top and continuously supplying to the steaming heat treatment apparatus is preferably employed. By continuously performing steaming using a continuous long raw noodle string, the next step (b) can be smoothly performed together with the step (a).
[0018]
The temperature of the wet steam used in the steaming heat treatment in the step (a) is generally preferably 95 to 100 ° C. By making the temperature of the wet steam within the above-mentioned range, steaming of the noodle strings can be smoothly performed in a short time. It can be carried out. Moreover, it is preferable that the steaming heat treatment time in step (a) is generally about 1 to 3 minutes from the viewpoint that the taste and texture of instant noodles are good.
[0019]
Next, in the step (b), water is sprinkled on the noodle strings in which the surface of the noodle strings is gelatinized by steaming in the step (a) and the wave of the noodle strings is extended. In carrying out this step (b), water is applied after the noodle strings have been stretched, water is applied to the noodle strings and then the waves are stretched, or the noodle strings are stretched and water is sprinkled simultaneously. Any of the methods may be adopted, and among them, a method of spreading water after stretching the wave of the noodle strings is preferably used.
[0020]
The step (b) is preferably performed so that the water content of the noodle strings after the water is sprayed in the step (b) is 60 to 65% by weight. By adjusting the water content to the above range, the instant noodles obtained by vacuum drying after freezing are improved in the restoration quality, and are excellent in quality with high elasticity and smoothness.
[0021]
In addition, when the wave formed on the noodle strings is stretched in the step (b), the noodle strings are separated in the step (b) even when the noodle strings adhere to each other by the steaming process in the step (a). And the subsequent handling of the noodle strings is improved. Furthermore, by stretching the noodle strings in step (b), the noodle strings can be smoothly cut to a predetermined length after step (b). Will be done accurately.
[0022]
When the steps (a) and (b) are carried out by adopting a method of placing and transferring a continuous long noodle string on a continuously moving conveyor, the moving speed of the conveyor in the step (b) is set. By making it faster than the moving speed of the conveyor in the step (a), the wave of the noodle strings can be extended in the step (b). In that case, a ratio of [moving speed of conveyor in step (a)]: [moving speed of conveyor in step (b)], that is, [feeding speed of noodle strings to step (b)]: [step (b) The ratio of the take-out speed of the noodle strings from 1] is preferably 1: 1.5 to 1: 4.
[0023]
In general, the temperature of the water sprayed on the noodle strings in the step (b) is preferably 5 to 20 ° C., so that the reattachment of the noodle strings is eliminated, and the tightening action of the noodle strings with water works, and the elasticity Noodles rich in nature can be obtained. Moreover, it is preferable that the amount of water sprayed on the noodle strings is generally about 0.1 to 0.2 liter per 100 g of the noodle strings subjected to steaming.
In addition, as a method of spraying water on the noodle strings, any method may be adopted as long as water can be uniformly or almost uniformly sprayed on the entire surface of the steam-heated noodle strings. A shower method is used.
[0024]
Next, the noodle strings that have been subjected to the water spraying treatment and the wave in the step (b) are subjected to a cocoon treatment in the step (c). This cocoon treatment improves the taste and texture of instant noodles by adding an appropriate amount of water to the noodle strings that have been pregelatinized by steaming in step (a). This cocoon treatment is preferably performed so that the moisture content of the noodle strings after the cocoon treatment is in the range of about 67 to 72% by weight.
[0025]
As used herein, the moisture content of the raw noodle strings mentioned above, the moisture content of the noodle strings after steaming, the moisture content of the noodle strings after cocoon treatment, and the moisture content of the noodles after vacuum drying described below are: The value obtained by the following mathematical formula (1).
[0026]
[Expression 1]
Water content (% by weight) of noodle strings (noodles) = {(A−0.086B) / A} × 100 (1)
However, A = weight of noodle strings (noodles)
B = Weight (g) of wheat flour, buckwheat flour and other flours used for the production of noodle strings (noodles) (weight converted to a moisture content of 14% by weight)
[0027]
The temperature of the hot water used for the cocoon treatment in the step (c) is generally 90 to 99 ° C. While preventing the noodle strings from collapsing and sticking, a predetermined amount of water is contained in the noodle strings in a short time. It is preferable because it can be used.
Moreover, as a cocoon treatment time in that case, although it can adjust according to the kind of noodle, thickness, etc., the cocoon treatment time of 2 to 5 minutes is generally employ | adopted preferably.
In carrying out the cocoon treatment, in order to facilitate freezing and vacuum drying in the next step (d), the cocoon is made by taking one or several meals according to the amount of instant noodles to be finally produced. Even if the treatment is performed or the bead processing may be performed collectively without removing the ball, it is preferable from the viewpoint of workability and the like that the bead processing is performed after removing the ball.
[0028]
Next, in the step (d), the noodle strings subjected to the cocoon treatment in the above step (c) are preferably washed with water, then subjected to freezing treatment and vacuum drying. In carrying out the freezing treatment of the noodle strings, it is preferable to carry out the freezing treatment after taking the noodle strings into a predetermined weight and filling them in a mold or a final container. The freezing process may be performed by either quick freezing or slow freezing. However, if it is performed by quick freezing, fine ice is uniformly formed on the entire noodle strings, vacuum drying is performed smoothly, and restoration is possible. It is preferable because instant noodles excellent in elasticity and smoothness can be obtained. When freezing noodle strings by rapid freezing, it is generally better to freeze them at a temperature of -70 ° C to -95 ° C over about 8 to 10 minutes, thereby quickly reducing the center temperature of the noodles to -5 ° C or less. Can be. And when storing frozen noodles before vacuum drying, it is usually put in a freezer at −25 ° C. to −35 ° C. and stored until the vacuum drying treatment is performed, so that the next vacuum drying treatment is smooth. Since it is performed, it is preferable.
[0029]
The noodles subjected to the freezing treatment are then vacuum-dried until the water content of the noodles is 7% by weight or less, to make instant noodles. In general, the vacuum drying is preferably performed under a vacuum of about 0.2 to 1 mmHg for about 20 to 24 hours because instant noodles excellent in resilience and texture can be obtained smoothly.
[0030]
In the present invention, following the steam heat treatment with the wet steam in the step (a), the step (b) of spreading the water of the noodle strings by spreading water on the noodle strings is adopted, so that the reattachment between the noodle strings is achieved. The noodle strings are smoothed, and the noodle strings are battered into noodles with a lot of voids and frozen with a lot of voids. For this reason, the freezing process and the subsequent vacuum drying process are smoothed. Compared to the conventional method that does not perform water spraying on the noodle strings and stretching the noodle strings, the vacuum drying time can be reduced by about 5% or more. Moreover, the instant noodles finally obtained have excellent restorability and texture.
[0031]
The instant noodles obtained as described above can be packaged as necessary, and distributed and sold at room temperature. To restore instant noodles, simply restore hot water to a ready-to-eat state by simply pouring hot water, immersing in hot water, simmering in hot water for a short time, or even immersing in normal temperature water. Can do.
