Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a dried product obtained by solating and drying seaweeds belonging to the fungi family, preferably a powdered noodle of the dried product.

  The so-called noodles are generally kneaded by adding water to wheat flour or buckwheat flour, thinly chopped into thin noodles. Conventionally, when manufacturing noodles, various additives have been used for the purpose of improving noodle-making properties, improving taste, improving hue, and the like. Examples of such additives include starch, thickener, active gluten, and surfactant.

At present, a method for producing noodles using seaweed as an additive is also known. For example, a method for producing moscow soba using mozuku as a connection for the purpose of improving the texture of noodles (see Patent Document 1), as noodles having excellent smoothness and viscoelasticity and slow elongation, agar solution and / or gel A method for producing noodles using crushed agar-like agar (see Patent Document 2) is known. In addition, as an example of using funnel for noodles, a method for producing noodles (see Patent Document 3), buckwheat flour or buckwheat noodles, which is made by slaked lime with slaked lime and boiled, and then added to the wheat flour with a cooled paste of paste. A mixture of flour and wheat flour is added to a seaweed (funori etc.) and heat treated with a paste solution obtained by heat treatment, kneaded, noodle-made, and then frozen it (see Patent Document 4) , Used as part of the seaweed seaweed, added alcohol to the boiled seaweed lamb, cooled to agar, kneaded the seaweed flour and wheat flour sterilized, processed into a noodle string, manufactured A method of hermetically sealing the noodles in a deaerated state (see Patent Document 5) is known. However, noodles using funnel are all produced by mixing boiled funori with noodle materials as they are. Boiled funnel is prone to spoilage at room temperature, so there is a problem that chilled or frozen storage or sterilization is necessary for distribution to the market.

Furthermore, since the dried seaweed belonging to the family Funabaceae used in the production method of the present invention can be distributed (for example, transported, stored, etc.) at room temperature without being refrigerated or frozen, Prior to the production of noodles containing seaweeds belonging to, the step of gelling the seaweeds by heat treatment or the like can be omitted. This is also intended to improve the efficiency and energy saving in the production of noodles.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

The production method of the present invention is a dried product obtained by using cereal flour as a raw material for noodles, adding an additive such as starch, salt or brackish water to the noodle type, and further solating and drying seaweed belonging to the family Funori Preferably, the noodle dough is obtained by containing the powder of the dried product, and after mixing, rolling and cutting, the noodle dough is boiled, steamed and dried according to the form of the final noodles. Noodles can be obtained.

  Although it does not specifically limit as a seaweed which belongs to the Funabidae used for the manufacturing method of this invention, For example, the mafonori which belongs to the red algae Kakuraito Funabidae, a Fukurofunori, a hanafunori, etc. are mentioned. Such seaweeds belonging to the family Funori can be used alone or in admixture of two or more. In addition, the production method of the present invention is not particularly limited to seaweeds belonging to the family Funoriaceae, but other seaweeds belonging to the red algae, for example, cypressaceae Tsunomata, giraffe rhinoceros, Ogonoriaceae Ogonori, Ushikenori Ushikenori, Ushikenoriaceae Susabirinori, Proboscisaceae, Cactiaceae Mucadenori, Cactiaceae Katanori or Cactiaceae smooth can be used in combination.

A dried product obtained by solating and drying seaweeds belonging to the family Clanaceae used in the production method of the present invention, preferably a powder of the dried product, can be produced by the following three steps.
Step 1: A step of solching a seaweed belonging to the family Funoriaceae to obtain a sol-like seaweed-containing solution.
Step 2: A step of drying the obtained sol-like seaweed-containing solution to obtain a dried product.
Step 3: A step of obtaining a dried product powder obtained by pulverizing the dried product obtained in Step 2 into a powder form, solating seaweeds belonging to the family Funoriaceae, and drying.

In Step 1, the seaweed to be sol may be used as a whole algae. For example, the seaweed that has been chopped with a chopper or the like may be used. It may be used. The seaweed may be raw seaweed or dry seaweed. When using dried seaweed, it is preferable to use the dried seaweed after immersing it in, for example, a saline solution for about 10 minutes to 2 hours and washing with water prior to sol formation. In this step, the seaweeds belonging to the family Firaceae may be mixed with water to form a sol-like seaweed-containing solution, and it is usually preferable to heat at a constant temperature for a certain period of time. At this time, it is preferable to stir using a known means such as a propeller stirrer.
Here, the amount of water to be added to seaweeds belonging to the family Alanaceae is not particularly limited, but is usually about 500 to 3,000 parts by mass of water, further about 800 to 2 with respect to 100 parts by mass of seaweed (in terms of dry matter) 500 parts by mass is preferable. The fixed time is not particularly limited, but is usually about 30 to 360 minutes, more preferably about 60 to 360 minutes.
