The present invention relates to a hardening inhibitor of brine-containing noodles or a brine-containing wonton wrapper. According to the present invention, an excess hardening of noodles or wrapper can be inhibited in an aging of brine-containing noodles or maturation of brine-containing wonton wrapper.
Chinese noodles are prepared by using a wheat flour, a brine, and a water. It is possible to obtain the firmness (elasticity) and hue specific to Chinese noodles by using the brine. Specifically, a gluten formed by the effect of brain is considered to give elastic and flexible firmness of Chinese noodles. In addition, the flavonoids contained in the flour are yellowed by the brain and impart a unique color to Chinese noodles. In particular, the firmness specific to Chinese noodles is obtained by preserving and aging in the noodle state.
However, there was a drawback that the Chinese noodles became too hard if the noodles were overly aged.
The object of the present invention is to provide a means to inhibit the hardening of brine-containing noodles in the aging process of noodles.
The present inventors have conducted intensive studies into a means to inhibit the hardening of brine-containing noodles in the aging of noodles, and as a result, surprisingly found that an excessive hardening of the brine-containing noodles can be prevented by adding an amino acid or a salt thereof and aging the noodles in the manufacturing process of the brine-containing noodles.
The present invention is based on the above findings.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to
1. a hardening inhibitor of brine-containing noodles or a brine-containing wonton wrapper, comprising an α-amino acid, a β-amino acid, or a γ-amino acid, or a salt thereof,
2. the hardening inhibitor of brine-containing noodles or a brine-containing wonton wrapper of the item 1, comprising the α-amino acid or the salt thereof,
3. use of an α-amino acid, a β-amino acid, or a γ-amino acid, or a salt thereof, for inhibiting hardening of brine-containing noodles or a brine-containing wonton wrapper,
4. the use of the item 3, of the α-amino acid or the salt thereof, for inhibiting hardening of the brine-containing noodles or the brine-containing wonton wrapper,
5. a method for inhibiting hardening of brine-containing noodles or a brine-containing wonton wrapper, characterized in that an α-amino acid, a β-amino acid, or a γ-amino acid, or a salt thereof is added to the brine-containing noodles or the brine-containing wonton wrapper, for inhibiting hardening of the brine-containing noodles or the brine-containing wonton wrapper,
6. the method for inhibiting hardening of brine-containing noodles or a brine-containing wonton wrapper of the item 5, characterized in that the α-amino acid or the salt thereof is added to the brine-containing noodles or the brine-containing wonton wrapper, for inhibiting hardening of the brine-containing noodles or the brine-containing wonton wrapper,
7. the method for inhibiting hardening of brine-containing noodles or a brine-containing wonton wrapper of the item 5 or 6, the addition amount of the α-amino acid, the β-amino acid, or the γ-amino acid, or the salt thereof with respect to a total weight of the brine-containing noodles is 0.3% by weight to 3% by weight.
Previously, it is disclosed that glycine was conventionally used as a chelating agent to improve the color hue of raw Japanese buckwheat noodles (Patent literature 1). In addition, glycine is known to have a bacteriostatic action or bactericidal action (Patent literature 2). However, it is unused as a hardening inhibitor for brine-containing noodles.
According to the hardening inhibitor of the present invention, the excessive hardening of the brine-containing noodles can be prevented in the aging process of the noodles and the like. Further, the noodles with added the amino acid or the salt thereof show a transparent property, that is, it is possible to obtain a transparent physical property that are desired in much hydrated noodles or the like. Furthermore, the noodles with added the amino acid or the salt thereof can be boiled even in highlands with low boiling points.
By using a hardening inhibitor of the present invention, it is possible to make the noodle very soft, and thus it is optimal as a noodle for the elderly.
The hardening inhibitor of brine-containing noodles of the present invention comprises comprising an α-amino acid, a β-amino acid, or a γ-amino acid, or a salt thereof. The hardening inhibitor of the present invention can prevent the excessive hardening of the brine-containing noodles in the aging of noodles and the excessive hardening of the brine-containing wonton wrapper.
The brine-containing noodles is not limited, as long as noodles contains brine, there may be mentioned Chinese noodles, ramen noodles, and pan-fried noodles. Further, the hardening inhibitor of the present invention can be applied to wonton wrapper wherein brine and wheat flour are contained, and the mixture is aged.
Brine is an alkaline salt aqueous solution that can give the noodles softness and elasticity (firmness) by mixing with wheat flour to make noodles. In addition, it can give the Chinese noodles a specific feel and hue.
An active ingredient of brine includes carbonates (such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, or sodium hydrogen carbonate), pyrophosphates (such as tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate, or tetrasodium pyrophosphate), polyphosphate (such as potassium polyphosphate, or sodium polyphosphate), metaphosphate (such as potassium metaphosphate, or sodium metaphosphate), or phosphate (tripotassium phosphate, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, Disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, or trisodium phosphate).
The amount of brine added to the flour can be appropriately adjusted so as to obtain the active ingredient content in the brine and the desired firmness.

Strictly, proline is an imino acid. However, since the effect of the present invention can be obtained thereby, proline is included in the α-amino acid in the present specification.
The term β-amino acid as used herein means an amino acid in which an amino group bonded to a β carbon adjacent to the α carbon to which the carboxyl group is bonded, and it has a structure of RCH(NH2)CH2COOH. Specifically, there may be mentioned β-alanine.
