  By the way, in recent years, further improvement in quality of crab noodles has been desired, and it has been required to produce noodles having better texture and appearance than before. That is, in the above-described conventional rice noodle machine, the noodles that are boiled are not cooled until they are conveyed from the koji tub to the cooling tub (exactly without forced cooling), and the cooling efficiency is greatly reduced. However, it was a cause of the cooling time. In this way, when cooling time is required, the production efficiency is reduced and the noodle moisture gradient (difference in moisture concentration between the surface and the inside of the noodle) is reduced, and the astringent action is also reduced, greatly affecting the texture of the noodles. Will be given. It also causes rough skin on the surface of the noodle and a decrease in transparency, greatly affecting the appearance of the noodle.

Further, in the past, the demand for mass production has increased the size of the rice noodle machine, and there has been a strong demand for a compact apparatus.

(the water discharge temperature of the cooling water in the third water discharge section 80 and the cooling tank 20), and the third water discharge section. 80 and the cooling water supply temperature in the cooling tank 20 (temperature of the cooling source 21) was 1 ° C. to 3 ° C., and as a result of cooling the boiled noodles, the temperature of the noodles at the inlet of the first water discharge unit 60 was 55 ° C. to 65 ° C., the temperature of the noodle at the outlet is 25 ° C. to 35 ° C., the temperature of the noodle at the outlet of the second water discharge unit 70, 180 is 10 ° C. to 14 ° C., the temperature of the third water discharge unit 80 and the cooling bath 20 The temperature of the noodles at the outlet is 3 ° C to 7 ° C, cooling time Udon 40-50 seconds, it has been greatly reduced compared with the comparative examples 20 to 30 seconds at near and noodles. In addition, the effect of such rapid cooling makes it possible to produce transparent noodles with a large moisture gradient, slow starch aging, and improved skin roughness on the surface of the noodles. I was able to improve.

  The present invention can be used in a rice noodle machine. Specifically, it is useful when quenching boiled noodles, greatly improving cooling efficiency and noodle quality, and greatly contributing to industrial development.
