Production method for frozen noodles and composition for preventing freezer burn
Provided is frozen noodles in which freezer burn is unlikely to occur. A method for producing frozen noodles comprises: a step of attaching a composition to cooked noodles, the composition comprising at least water, oil or fat and a polysaccharide thickener, and having a viscosity of from 30 to 2000 mPa·s at 60° C.; and a step of freezing the noodles to which the composition has attached.

attaching a composition to cooked noodles, the composition comprising water, oil or fat, and a polysaccharide thickener, the composition having a viscosity of from 30 to 2000 mPa·s at 60° C.; and
freezing the cooked noodles to which the composition has attached,
wherein the composition is attached to the cooked noodles in an amount of from 1 to 15% by mass based on a mass of the cooked noodles, the composition comprises no common salt, and the temperature of said composition during said attaching is from 20 to 45° C.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is attached to the cooked noodles in an amount of from 5 to 10% by mass based on a mass of the cooked noodles.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the polysaccharide thickener in the composition is from 0.1 to 1.0% by mass.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the oil or fat in the composition is from 23 to 39.9% by mass.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the water in the composition is from 60 to 76.9% by mass.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cooked noodles are at a food product temperature of 20° C. or less, when the composition is attached to the cooked noodles.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the polysaccharide thickener in the composition is from 0.1 to 1.0% by mass, a content of the oil or fat in the composition is from 23 to 39.9% by mass, and a content of the water in the composition is from 60 to 76.9% by mass.
8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the cooked noodles are at a food product temperature of 20° C. or less, when the composition is attached to the cooked noodles.
9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the oil or fat is at least one of soybean oil and margarine, and the polysaccharide thickener is at least one of xanthan gum and tamarind gum.
10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the composition is attached to the cooked noodles in an amount of from 5 to 10% by mass based on a mass of the cooked noodles.
11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the viscosity of the composition is from 80 to 1000 mPa·s at 60° C.
12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the viscosity of the composition is from 80 to 1000 mPa·s at 60° C.
13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the polysaccharide thickener in the composition is from 0.3 to 0.7% by mass, a content of the oil or fat in the composition is from 27 to 36% by mass, and a content of the water in the composition is from 65 to 72% by mass.
14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the cooked noodles are at a food product temperature of 20° C. or less, when the composition is attached to the cooked noodles.
15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the composition is attached to the cooked noodles in an amount of from 5 to 10% by mass based on a mass of the cooked noodles.
16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the viscosity of the composition is from 80 to 1000 mPa·s at 60° C.
17. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the oil or fat is at least one of soybean oil and margarine, and the polysaccharide thickener is at least one of xanthan gum and tamarind gum.
18. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said attaching provides said noodles with protection from freezer burn.
19. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the oil or fat is at least one of soybean oil and margarine, and the polysaccharide thickener is at least one of xanthan gum and tamarind gum.
20. A method, comprising:
attaching a composition to cooked noodles, the composition comprising water, oil or fat, and a polysaccharide thickener, the composition having a viscosity of from 30 to 2000 mPa·s at 60° C.; and
freezing the cooked noodles to which the composition has attached,
wherein the composition is attached to the cooked noodles in an amount of from 1 to 15% by mass based on a mass of the cooked noodles, the composition comprises no common salt, and the temperature of said composition during said attaching is from 20 to 45° C.,
wherein a content of the polysaccharide thickener in the composition is from 0.3 to 0.7% by mass, a content of the oil or fat in the composition is from 27 to 36% by mass, and a content of the water in the composition is from 65 to 72% by mass, and
wherein the oil or fat is at least one of soybean oil and margarine, and the polysaccharide thickener is at least one of xanthan gum and tamarind gum.
