Description

本発明は、フライ乾燥用容器及びフライ麺の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a container for frying drying and a method for producing frying noodles.

フライ(油揚げ)された麺塊が収納されたカップ入り即席麺(即席カップめん)のうち、特に縦型のカップ状容器を使用する場合、該容器内の側面部にフライ麺塊の側面が当接する形態で封入されていることが多い。この容器に重量の軽い(体積が小さい)フライ麺塊を収納すると、輸送時に容器内部でフライ麺塊が反転する(上面と底面とがひっくり返る)という問題が発生する。フライ麺塊の反転が起こると、本来フライ麺塊の上に置かれていた乾燥具材等がフライ麺塊の下の空間に落ち、製品の見栄えが悪くなる。この問題を改善するために、従来は、カップ及びフライ乾燥に使用する容器の形状を変更することが行われていた。 Of the cup-filled instant noodles (instant cup noodles) in which the fried noodle lumps are stored, especially when a vertical cup-shaped container is used, the side surface of the fried noodle lumps abuts on the side surface of the container. It is often enclosed in a form. When a light-weight (small volume) fried noodle mass is stored in this container, there is a problem that the fried noodle mass is inverted inside the container (the top surface and the bottom surface are turned over) during transportation. When the fried noodle mass is inverted, the drying ingredients and the like originally placed on the fried noodle mass fall into the space under the fried noodle mass, and the appearance of the product deteriorates. In order to improve this problem, conventionally, the shape of the cup and the container used for frying drying has been changed.

α化した麺線をフライ乾燥させる際に使用するフライ乾燥用器具として、例えば、容器本体及び蓋体に均一或いは略均一に孔が形成され、容器本体の底面の開孔率(開口率)が4〜20%であり、容器本体の側面に孔を形成しない即席麺用油揚げ容器が提案されている(特許文献1)。特許文献1には、前記油揚げ容器を用いれば、油揚げ後の麺塊の各部分における水分差を低減することができることが記載されている。しかしながら、特許文献1には、得られた麺塊の体積について何ら記載されていない。 As a frying drying device used when frying and drying pregelatinized noodle strings, for example, holes are uniformly or substantially uniformly formed in the container body and the lid body, and the opening ratio (opening ratio) of the bottom surface of the container body is increased. A fried noodle container for instant noodles, which is 4 to 20% and does not form a hole on the side surface of the container body, has been proposed (Patent Document 1). Patent Document 1 describes that if the frying container is used, the difference in water content in each portion of the noodle mass after frying can be reduced. However, Patent Document 1 does not describe the volume of the obtained noodle mass.

本発明の目的は、麺塊の重量を変えることなく、フライ麺塊の体積を従来よりも大きくすることができるフライ乾燥用容器を提供することである。本発明の他の目的は、麺塊の重量を変えることなく、従来よりもフライ麺塊の体積を大きくすることができる即席フライ麺の製造方法を提供することである。 An object of the present invention is to provide a container for frying and drying, which can increase the volume of the frying noodle mass as compared with the conventional one without changing the weight of the noodle mass. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing instant fried noodles, which can increase the volume of the fried noodle lumps as compared with the conventional one without changing the weight of the noodle lumps.

本発明者らが、麺塊の重量を変えることなく、従来よりもフライ麺塊の体積を大きくすることができるフライ乾燥用容器を開発すべく鋭意検討した結果、フライ乾燥用容器の容器底面の開口率を容器側面の開口率よりも小さくすることにより、従来の底面だけに孔が形成されたフライ乾燥用容器を用いるよりもフライ麺塊の体積を大きくすることができ、上記目的が達成できることを見出した。本発明はこのような知見に基づき完成されたものである。 As a result of diligent studies by the present inventors to develop a frying drying container capable of increasing the volume of the frying noodle mass more than before without changing the weight of the noodle mass, the bottom surface of the frying drying container By making the opening ratio smaller than the opening ratio of the side surface of the container, the volume of the fried noodle mass can be increased as compared with the case of using a conventional container for frying and drying in which holes are formed only on the bottom surface, and the above object can be achieved. I found. The present invention has been completed based on such findings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the container for frying and drying of the present invention (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “container”) 1 includes a container bottom surface 2, a container opening 3 surrounded by a container edge portion, and a container bottom surface 2. It has a substantially conical trapezoidal shape (substantially tapered shape) and is composed of a container side surface 4 connecting the container opening 3. Here, a substantially truncated cone shape is described as an example of the container, but the shape of the container may be designed according to the shape of the container of the product and is not particularly limited. Examples of the shape of the container other than the substantially truncated cone shape include a substantially deep dish shape and a substantially box shape.
The container for frying and drying of the present invention is, for example, as shown in FIG. The taper angle when used is not particularly limited, but is generally about 3 ° to 15 °.
As described above, the tapered shape makes it easy to support the dried noodle mass on the inner surface of the side surface of the cup-shaped container when the dried noodle mass is stored, and the dried noodle mass can be held hollow.
Further, the cup-shaped container in the present invention can be suitably used for a vertically long type container, but the present invention is not limited to this.

容器底面
容器底面2には、孔が形成されていなくてもよいし、形成されていてもよい。容器底面2に、孔が形成されていない場合、開口率は0%であり、孔が形成されている場合、開口率は0%より大きい値となる。ここで、容器底面2の開口率(底面開口率)とは、容器の底面の全面積に対する孔の総和面積の比率をいう。
Bottom surface of the container The bottom surface 2 of the container may or may not have a hole. If no holes are formed on the bottom surface 2 of the container, the opening ratio is 0%, and if holes are formed, the opening ratio is a value larger than 0%. Here, the opening ratio (bottom opening ratio) of the bottom surface 2 of the container means the ratio of the total area of the holes to the total area of the bottom surface of the container.

容器底面2には、孔が形成されていないか、又は形成された孔5の面積(開口面積)が小さいことが好ましい。容器底面2に孔5が形成されている場合、複数の孔5が略均一に形成されていることが好ましい。ここで、略均一とは、均一又は若干の差を含む意味である。容器底面2に孔5が形成されている場合、容器底面2の開口率が0%を超え31%以下であることが好ましく、1%以上20%未満がより好ましく、1%以上15%以下がさらに好ましく、1%以上15%未満がより一層好ましく、1%以上10%未満が特に好ましい。図2は、容器底面2に、複数の孔5が形成されている容器の例である。 It is preferable that the bottom surface 2 of the container has no holes or the area (opening area) of the formed holes 5 is small. When the holes 5 are formed in the bottom surface 2 of the container, it is preferable that the plurality of holes 5 are formed substantially uniformly. Here, substantially uniform means that it is uniform or includes a slight difference. When the hole 5 is formed in the bottom surface 2 of the container, the opening ratio of the bottom surface 2 of the container is preferably more than 0% and 31% or less, more preferably 1% or more and less than 20%, and 1% or more and 15% or less. More preferably, 1% or more and less than 15% is even more preferable, and 1% or more and less than 10% is particularly preferable. FIG. 2 is an example of a container in which a plurality of holes 5 are formed on the bottom surface 2 of the container.

容器底面2に形成される孔5の形状については特に限定されないが、円形から略楕円形であることが好ましい。孔の大きさについては、例えば、円形の孔(丸孔)の場合には、直径2〜6mmが好ましく、直径2.5〜5mmがより好ましく、略楕円形の場合には、長軸部分の直径2〜6mmが好ましく、直径2.5〜5mmがより好ましい。孔5の配置については、油の流れが均質になるように配置することが好ましい。 The shape of the hole 5 formed in the bottom surface 2 of the container is not particularly limited, but is preferably circular to substantially elliptical. Regarding the size of the hole, for example, in the case of a circular hole (round hole), the diameter is preferably 2 to 6 mm, more preferably 2.5 to 5 mm in diameter, and in the case of a substantially elliptical shape, the major axis portion. The diameter is preferably 2 to 6 mm, more preferably 2.5 to 5 mm. Regarding the arrangement of the holes 5, it is preferable to arrange them so that the oil flow becomes uniform.

容器底面に形成する孔の数が少ない場合には、図2に示すように、底面中央部に設けることが好ましい。底面開口率を上げるために、容器底面に形成する孔の数を増やす場合には、底面中央部から周辺部に向けて孔を略均一に形成していくことが好ましい。 When the number of holes formed on the bottom surface of the container is small, it is preferable to provide the holes in the center of the bottom surface as shown in FIG. When increasing the number of holes formed on the bottom surface of the container in order to increase the bottom aperture ratio, it is preferable to form the holes substantially uniformly from the central portion of the bottom surface to the peripheral portion.

容器側面
前記容器側面4には、孔が形成されており、複数の孔6が略均一に形成されていることが好ましい。容器側面4に形成される孔6の形状については特に限定されないが、円形から略楕円形であることが好ましい。孔の大きさについては、円形の孔(丸孔)の場合には、直径2〜6mmが好ましく、直径2.5〜5mmがより好ましい。孔の配置については、油の流れが均質になるように配置することが好ましい。
Side surface of the container It is preferable that holes are formed in the side surface 4 of the container, and a plurality of holes 6 are formed substantially uniformly. The shape of the hole 6 formed in the side surface 4 of the container is not particularly limited, but is preferably circular to substantially elliptical. Regarding the size of the hole, in the case of a circular hole (round hole), the diameter is preferably 2 to 6 mm, more preferably 2.5 to 5 mm. Regarding the arrangement of the holes, it is preferable to arrange them so that the oil flow becomes uniform.

前記容器側面4の開口率は、油切れを良くする点、麺線が漏れない点、及び麺線に含まれる水分を適切に蒸発させる点から、12%以上50%以下であることが好ましく、20%以上47.5%以下であることがより好ましく、30%以上45%以下が特に好ましい。ここで、容器側面の開口率(側面開口率)とは、容器の側面の全面積に対する孔の総和面積の比率をいう。側面開口率を上げるために、容器側面に形成する孔の数を増やす場合には、側面の下から上(容器開口部)に向けて孔を略均一に形成していくことが好ましい。 The opening ratio of the side surface 4 of the container is preferably 12% or more and 50% or less from the viewpoint of improving oil drainage, preventing the noodle strings from leaking, and appropriately evaporating the water contained in the noodle strings. It is more preferably 20% or more and 47.5% or less, and particularly preferably 30% or more and 45% or less. Here, the opening ratio of the side surface of the container (side opening ratio) means the ratio of the total area of the holes to the total area of the side surface of the container. When increasing the number of holes formed on the side surface of the container in order to increase the side opening ratio, it is preferable to form the holes substantially uniformly from the bottom to the top of the side surface (container opening).

なお、前記容器側面と前記容器底面とが、略直角に接合されていない場合、すなわち、前記容器側面と前記容器底面との接合部が、曲線状のアール部を形成している場合、本明細書ではアール部を容器側面とみなして開口率を算出する。よって、アール部に形成された孔は、容器側面の孔として側面開口率を計算する。
油切れの点を考慮すれば、前記容器側面と前記容器底面との接合部(当該接合部が曲線状である場合を含む)、又はその周辺部に孔が形成されることが好ましい。
When the side surface of the container and the bottom surface of the container are not joined at a substantially right angle, that is, when the joint portion between the side surface of the container and the bottom surface of the container forms a curved rounded portion, the present specification. In the book, the aperture ratio is calculated by regarding the rounded part as the side surface of the container. Therefore, the side opening ratio is calculated for the holes formed in the rounded portion as holes on the side surface of the container.
Considering the point of running out of oil, it is preferable that a hole is formed in the joint portion between the side surface of the container and the bottom surface of the container (including the case where the joint portion is curved) or a peripheral portion thereof.

本発明のフライ乾燥用容器は、容器底面の開口率が、容器側面の開口率よりも小さいことが特徴である。容器底面の開口率が、前記容器側面の開口率よりも小さいフライ乾燥用器具を使用して麺線をフライ乾燥することで、容器底面に多数の孔を形成し、容器側面に孔を形成しない、従来のフライ乾燥用器具を使用した場合と比較して、フライ乾燥後の麺塊の体積を大きくすることができる。 The container for frying and drying of the present invention is characterized in that the opening ratio of the bottom surface of the container is smaller than the opening ratio of the side surface of the container.

In addition, additives generally used in the production of instant noodles, such as salt, alkaline agents, thickeners, noodle quality improvers, pigments such as carotenoid pigments, preservatives, etc., are added to these raw material powders. can do. These additives may be added in the form of powder together with the raw material powder, or may be added by being dissolved in kneading water or dispersed.

以下、製造方法の各工程について詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, each step of the manufacturing method will be described in detail.

混合工程
即席麺を製造する常法に従って、前記即席麺の原料と水とを混合する(混練する)ことによって麺生地を製造する。より具体的には、前記原料粉に練り水を加え、次いでミキサーを用いて各種材料が均一に混ざるように混練して麺生地を製造する。
Mixing step Noodle dough is produced by mixing (kneading) the raw materials of the instant noodles with water according to a conventional method for producing instant noodles. More specifically, kneading water is added to the raw material powder, and then the noodle dough is produced by kneading the raw material so that the various materials are uniformly mixed using a mixer.

複合及び圧延工程
麺生地を製造した後に、前記麺生地を複合機で圧延して麺帯を製造し、前記麺帯を圧延して、麺帯を薄くする。
Composite and Rolling Process After producing the noodle dough, the noodle dough is rolled with a compound machine to produce a noodle band, and the noodle band is rolled to thin the noodle band.

麺線化(切り出し)工程
薄くした麺帯を、切刃を用いて切り出すことによって麺線を製造する。
Noodle string making (cutting) process Noodle strings are manufactured by cutting thin noodle bands with a cutting blade.

α化工程
得られた生麺線を、常法により蒸煮及び/又はボイルによってα化させる。蒸煮の方法としては、飽和水蒸気による加熱だけでなく、過熱水蒸気(飽和温度以上に加熱された水蒸気)により加熱することもできる。あるいは、ボイラーで発生させた蒸気を減圧して蒸機内に噴射し、その蒸機の中を麺線を通過させることによってα化させてもよい。即席フライ麺が皿うどん等の場合には、α化工程を省略してもよい。
α化工程の後、α化した麺線に、スプレー、浸漬等により調味液(着味液)を付着させ、味付けを行ってもよい。また、麺線同士の決着防止のため、乳化剤、増粘多糖類等を麺線に付着させることもできる。これらの作業は必ずしも行う必要はなく、省略してもかまわない。
The raw noodle strings obtained α step, to α by steaming and / or boiled in a conventional manner. As a method of steaming, not only heating with saturated steam but also heating with superheated steam (steam heated to a saturation temperature or higher) can be used. Alternatively, the steam generated in the boiler may be depressurized and injected into a steam locomotive, and the steam may be gelatinized by passing the noodle strings through the steam locomotive. When the instant fried noodles are sara udon or the like, the pregelatinization step may be omitted.
After the pregelatinization step, the pregelatinized noodle strings may be seasoned by attaching a seasoning liquid (seasoning liquid) to the pregelatinized noodle strings by spraying, dipping or the like. In addition, an emulsifier, a thickening polysaccharide, or the like can be attached to the noodle strings to prevent the noodle strings from sticking to each other. These operations do not necessarily have to be performed and may be omitted.

フライ乾燥(油揚げ)工程
次いで、麺線を1食分(20〜50cm)にカットする。カットした麺線を、フライ乾燥用器具に投入し、フライ乾燥を行う。本発明の製造方法においては、フライ乾燥用器具を用いて行うことを特徴とする。
