Description

Kit of parts for packaging noodle products
The present invention relates to a kit of parts for packaging a noodle product. In particular, the present invention relates to a kit of parts for packaging a noodle product, comprising a) a dried noodle cake and b) a seasoning tablet, characterized in that the dried noodle cake comprises a shaped hollow three-dimensional space and wherein the seasoning tablet is embedded in the shaped hollow three-dimensional space.
It is known to have packaged noodle products that include a noodle cake and a seasoning. In all commercially available products, the flavoring is typically packaged individually using a metallized package (e.g., an aluminum package). Consumers are increasingly sensitive to additional packaging, particularly to metallized packaging and/or aluminum packaging. Many of them feel that aluminum packaging is not environmentally sustainable. The news mentions the high energy work required to obtain aluminium packaging, the chemicals used to obtain the aluminium and its environmental impact, the sewage from the aluminium plant, and the still limited recycling of aluminium packaging, which usually ends up in landfills.
Thus, in order to provide a more environmentally sustainable package, additional aluminum packaging for the sauce should be avoided. This would avoid high energy and chemicals used to make the aluminum and avoid the aluminum package ending up in a landfill. Further processing steps for obtaining the aluminium packaged sauce are avoided and costs can be reduced.
Disclosure of Invention
It is an object of the present invention to improve the state of the art and to provide an improved solution or at least an alternative solution to overcome at least some of the above inconveniences. The object of the invention is achieved by the subject matter of the independent claims. The dependent claims further develop the idea of the invention.
In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a seasoning tablet that is not individually packaged, in particular not individually packaged in aluminum, and thus avoids the high energy and chemicals used to make aluminum, and avoids the aluminum package ending up on a landfill. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to reduce the process steps for packaging the seasoning and reduce the associated costs. However, the noodle product should be self-stable for at least 3 months.
Accordingly, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a kit of parts for packaging a noodle product, comprising:
a) a dried noodle cake;
b) a seasoning tablet;
characterized in that the dried noodle cake comprises a shaped hollow three-dimensional space and wherein the flavor tablet is embedded in the shaped hollow three-dimensional space.
In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a method for producing a kit of parts for packaging a noodle product, the kit of parts comprising: a) a dried noodle cake and b) a seasoning tablet, characterized in that the dried noodle cake comprises a shaped hollow three-dimensional space and wherein the seasoning tablet is embedded in the shaped hollow three-dimensional space, the process comprising the steps of: preparing the dried noodle cake, preparing and forming the seasoning tablet, placing the seasoning tablet into the shaped hollow three-dimensional space of the dried noodle cake and packaging the kit of parts.
In a third aspect, the present invention relates to the use of a kit of parts for packaging a noodle product for the preparation of a food product.
The present inventors have surprisingly found that by using a dried noodle cake comprising a shaped hollow three-dimensional space, seasoning tablets can be embedded in this shaped hollow three-dimensional space of the dried noodle cake, wherein the seasoning tablets are not individually packaged, in particular not individually packaged in aluminum. This results in a more sustainable packaging solution for packaging the kit of parts of the noodle product, thereby reducing packaging costs, avoiding high energy and chemicals for manufacturing aluminum, and avoiding the aluminum package ending up in landfills. However, the noodle product should be self-stable for at least 3 months. The present inventors have surprisingly found that dried noodle cakes comprising shaped hollow three-dimensional spaces have a more uniform moisture content after drying or frying.

A method of obtaining a flavor tablet comprising the steps of:
a) mixing salt, flavoring agent, sugar, lipid or their combination
b) Forming a shape that can be inserted into the shaped hollow three-dimensional space of the dried noodle cake.
A method of obtaining a flavored tablet comprising 15 to 45 wt% salt (by weight of the total composition), 0.5 to 15 wt% sugar (by weight of the total composition), 1 to 40 wt% flavoring agent (by weight of the total composition), 1 to 30 wt% lipid (by weight of the total composition), comprising the steps of:
a) mixing salt, flavoring agent, sugar, lipid or their combination
b) Forming a shape that can be inserted into the shaped hollow three-dimensional space of the dried noodle cake.
The shaped hollow three-dimensional space of the dried noodle cake is made by using an improved basket with a desired form of elevation on the basket base, preferably a center height on the basket base, during frying of the noodle strand or air drying of the noodle strand.
The dough mixing time is between 10 minutes and 40 minutes, preferably between 15 minutes and 30 minutes. A two-speed stirrer was used. The mixing speed is between 50rpm and 120 rpm. High speed mixing (between 100rpm and 120 rpm) is recommended during dosing of kansui solution to avoid local dosing and ensure homogeneity. For the addition of minor ingredients such as calcium carbonate, fortifiers (vitamins and/or minerals), it is recommended to prepare a preblend with the flour prior to addition. The amount of water added has a great influence on dough formation. The moisture content of the dough after mixing should be between 20% and 40%, preferably between 25% and 35%. If too much water is added, the dough will be too soft and sticky. If too little water is added, the noodles will be brittle, doughy and hard-centered due to insufficient gelation during steaming, since the degree of gelation depends on the water content of the dough.
The term "sheeting" is a process step in which the dough is passed through a series of rollers to obtain a final sheet of the desired thickness, which will subsequently determine the thickness of the dough strands. By sheeting the dough, a network is formed upon application of pressure. In addition, sheeting removes entrapped air from the dough, thereby reducing porosity and resulting in less oil intake.
The cutter/cutter, known as "kiriha", consists of a pair of grooved cylinders that cut and separate the sheet of dough into bundles that are trapped in the grooves. These bundles are immediately removed by a comb-like doctor blade, called "kasuri", which is attached between two rolls. The width of the noodle bundle is determined by the Kiriha groove width.
The purpose of steaming is to gelatinize the starch so as to eliminate the dough taste on the final product. The steaming time and temperature as well as the steam pressure affect the product quality and are known to the person skilled in the art. Good steaming results with at least 80% starch gelatinization are obtained giving better association of starch granules and protein matrix and better continuity of the protein network. The steaming time is between 0.5 and 15 minutes, preferably between 0.5 and 7 minutes. Saturated steam is used. If steaming is insufficient, the final noodles will have a sandy centre, a doughy shape and an aftertaste of raw wheat (cereal lingering). The strands exiting the steamer are hot and tend to stick to the steamer mesh conveyor. This can result in poor cuts and folds down the production line. Thus, the beam is cooled and slightly dried using a fan or blower/air knife at the exit of the steamer tunnel.
Predrying was used to reduce the wet cake moisture by 2% to 10%. Furthermore, after pre-drying, a reduction of 1% to 8%, preferably 2% to 4%, of the oil absorption is achieved. The pre-drying step is carried out at a temperature comprised between 50 ℃ and 120 ℃ in a time comprised between 15 seconds and 500 seconds, preferably at a temperature comprised between 60 ℃ and 100 ℃ in a time comprised between 30 seconds and 400 seconds. In a preferred embodiment, the noodles are pre-dried.
Frying is a process in which moisture from the noodle cake is removed to a desired level and the dough taste in the final product is eliminated. The steamed or pre-dried noodle cake is transferred to a frying vat which is subjected to a hot oil bath. Frying in oil is carried out at a temperature between 110 ℃ and 170 ℃ and for a frying time between 30 seconds and 200 seconds, preferably at a temperature between 130 ℃ and 165 ℃ and for a frying time between 40 seconds and 150 seconds. After frying, the final moisture in the product is less than 10% by weight, preferably between 2% and 10% by weight (based on the weight of the total composition). The final product has a water activity < 0.6. Frying is performed with palm oil or high oleic oil or a combination thereof, preferably palm oil or high oleic sunflower oil or a combination thereof.
Air drying is a process in which moisture from the noodle cake is removed to a desired level and the dough taste in the final product is eliminated. Air drying at a temperature of between 80-100 ℃ and a drying time of between 20-120 minutes, preferably between 45-75 min; or at a temperature of between 100 ℃ and 250 ℃ and a drying time of between 1 and 15 minutes, preferably between 2 and 3 minutes. The final product had a water activity < 0.6.
In one embodiment the oil content of the fried noodles is in the range of 10 to 30 wt% (by weight of the total composition), preferably between 12 to 28 wt%, preferably between 13 to 25 wt%, preferably between 13 to 19 wt% (by weight of the total composition).
Cooling means that the temperature of the noodles after frying or air drying is reduced. It is desirable that the noodle cake be at or near ambient temperature prior to wrapping, preferably between 20 ℃ and 30 ℃, more preferably between 20 ℃ and 25 ℃. Otherwise, there may be condensation of water vapor in the noodle pocket, which may lead to mold growth. The side from the condensate, hot cake, also causes air puffing in the bag, which in turn causes secondary packaging difficulties.
The noodles may be fried in palm oil because of their low cost, availability and high oxidative stability. However, consumer attention to palm oil or palm fat is increasingly sensitive. Many people consider palm fat to be unhealthy due to high content of Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA), while many others consider palm fat to be non-sustainable to the environment, as many news mention the destruction of rainforests to grow palm trees. Therefore, to provide a nutritional benefit, it is important to reduce the total fat and/or SFA content in the product. Therefore, it is also necessary to study other vegetable oils for fried noodles, which are not only economically produced and easy to handle, but also stable for frying purposes. It should make the noodles healthier without compromising the organoleptic attributes and the overall quality of the product. Furthermore, it should also have lower values of process contaminants formed during oil refining, namely glycidyl fatty acid ester (GE) <1ppm (preferably <0.5ppm) and 3-MCPD <3 ppm. The oil suitable for frying comprises in the range of from 1 to 25 wt.% of fatty acid C16:0 (based on the weight of total fat) and in the range of from 60 to 90 wt.% of fatty acid C18:1 (based on the weight of total fat) and in the range of from 0.1 to 20 wt.% of fatty acid C18:2 (based on the weight of total fat), which is a high oleic sunflower oil.

In one embodiment, the oil of the present invention has a melting point of-1 ℃ to +5 ℃ and a relative density of 0.91. Preferably, the oil is liquid at room temperature (20 ℃) to avoid unnecessary heating during oil storage and transfer into the process, the higher storage temperature of the oil will already lead to oxidation of the oil. Standard commercially available sunflower oil comprises fatty acids C16:0 in the range of 5 to 8 wt% (based on the weight of the total fat) and fatty acids C18:1 in the range of 14 to 40 wt% (based on the weight of the total fat) and fatty acids C18:2 in the range of 48 to 74 wt% (based on the weight of the total fat).

Examples
Example 1: method of producing a composite material
The noodle manufacturing process involves mixing flour (wheat flour) and Kansui solution in a batch mixer. The noodle line for production was obtained from the CCK supplier. The dough from the mixer is passed through rollers to form two sheets, which are thereafter compounded into one by a series of rollers to reduce the dough sheet to a desired thickness. The final sheet was passed through kiriha to cut the dough sheet and form a noodle strand, which was then steamed in a tunnel.
The steamed noodles are cut, folded and molded into a pre-dryer. The predryer removes moisture prior to frying and helps reduce oil uptake. The pre-dried noodle cake is discharged from the pre-dryer into a fry vat, then passed through a fryer where the noodle cake is fried and the moisture is removed. Thereafter, the noodle cake is cooled to ambient temperature and then packaged. The method describes fried noodles. The skilled person can easily adjust the process to obtain an air-dried noodle cake. For example, air-dried noodle cakes do not have the steps of pre-drying and frying. The shaped hollow three-dimensional space of the dried noodle cake is made by using an improved basket with a desired form of elevation on the basket base, preferably a center height on the basket base, during frying of the noodle strands or air drying of the noodle strands. Similar to a punch or die or stamp.

Water activity measurement
Water activity was measured using AquaLab instruments 4TE and 4TEV connected to PC by Aqualink 4.0 software. The measurements were performed at 25.0 ± 0.5 ℃ as verified by the official AOAC method 978.18.
Peroxide Value (PV) measurement
The Peroxide Value (PV) in the samples was analyzed according to internal LI based on the AOCS method Cd 8b-90, and was applicable to animal and vegetable oils and fats. This is the amount of potassium iodide oxidized by all materials under the operating conditions in terms of peroxide grind equivalents per 1000 grams of sample. These materials are generally considered to be peroxides or other similar products of fat oxidation.
Total Polar Material (TPM) measurement
TPM is measured by a hand held probe (Testo 270) using a fast method, which is based on the principle of capacitance measurement. This is verified with the standard method ISO 8420. TPM gives the value of the total polar compounds in the oil produced during frying.
Free fatty acid measurement
The samples were analyzed for Free Fatty Acids (FFA) according to LI 03.516-3. This method corresponds to the international standard method ISO 660:2008-Animal and vegetable fats and oils-Determination of acid value and acid, with slight modifications. It is suitable for edible oils and fats, and extracted fats. FFAs are typically formed due to the presence of moisture in foods exposed to oil. Unless otherwise indicated, the method of the invention determines the amount of these FFAs formed by titration with base and is generally expressed as percent oleic acid.
