Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of food processing, and particularly relates to a face line curing and slow dehydration integrated processing technology of micro-fermented noodles. BACKGROUND

[0002] Noodles are one of the traditional staple foods in China and have a long history. With the development of China's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the noodle processing industry has developed rapidly, and the quality of industrially produced noodles has improved greatly compared with the past. There are various new noodle products by adding vegetables, coarse grains, trace elements, etc., but the production enterprises are not sufficient in the research on noodle processing technology, and the product homogenization is serious, the added value is low, and high-end products are lacking, which become the technical bottleneck problems of the industry.

[0003] Handmade hollow noodles are a regional noodle variety with a development history of more than 2,000 years in China, carrying the cultural genes of various regions. Almost every province in China has a unique brand of handmade hollow noodles. The hollow structure of the noodles makes them have a smooth and soft taste, and they are easy to digest due to their strong water absorption. Handmade hollow noodles are widely loved by local people. The production of handmade hollow noodles includes kneading, pressing, covering, and airing processes. The hollow structure of the noodles is formed through multiple curing, sequential stretching, and natural airing (slow dehydration). The processing process is entirely based on experience and has not formed quantitative data. The processing equipment is simple and the production efficiency is low. The production is highly dependent on the season and the temperature and humidity of the environment, and the yield is limited. So far, large-scale production has not been formed.

[0004] Temperature, humidity, wind speed, and time are the main indicators of noodle drying. Drying process parameters will directly affect the surface morphology, rehydration rate, and eating taste of noodles, and are key factors that determine product quality, stability, and yield. The current domestic noodle processing technology includes medium-temperature noodle drying process and high-temperature noodle drying process. The maximum drying temperature of the medium-temperature noodle drying process is 50℃, and the maximum drying temperature of the high-temperature noodle drying process is 75℃.

[0005] Chinese patent document CN 101632395 A discloses a four-stage variable-temperature drying noodle processing technology, the production steps of which are as follows: (1) cold blowing, temperature 22℃-30℃, humidity 82%-84%, time 50-80 min, wind speed 5000-10000 m / h; (2) temperature rising drying, temperature 30-32℃, humidity 72%-78%, time 100-140 min, wind speed 8000-12000 m / h; (3) high-temperature main drying, temperature 37℃-40℃, humidity 65%-73%, time 120-160 min, wind speed 12000-15000 m / h; and (4) low-temperature drying, temperature 30-32℃, humidity 65%-73%, time 20-40 min, wind speed 8000-12000 m / h. 3 3 3 ​​ / h; (4) temperature reduction drying, the initial temperature is set to 32℃-34℃, the humidity is 62%-64%, the noodles pass through the uniform temperature reduction in the complete drying area for 10-30 min, the temperature is reduced by 0.2℃-0.5℃ per minute, the temperature is reduced to 20℃-27℃, the wind speed is 10000-12000 m3 / h, the four-stage variable-temperature drying noodle processing technology is completed.

[0006] The noodle medium-temperature high-humidity drying process of Chinese patent document CN 112414023 A includes a cold air zone, a drying zone, a high-temperature main drying zone, and a complete drying zone. (1) The first stage, temperature 25℃, humidity 99%; (2) The second stage, temperature 38℃, humidity 85%; (3) The third stage, temperature 50℃, humidity 80%; (4) The fourth stage, temperature 55℃, humidity 75%; (5) The fifth stage, temperature 50℃, humidity 65%. The total drying time in the drying room is 4.5 hours, and the drying time ratio of each stage is 10:15:20:15:10. Among them, the error of drying time is ±5 minutes, the error of air humidity is ±2%, and the error of drying temperature is ±2℃.

[0007] The highest drying temperature of the above two patent disclosures does not exceed 55℃, which belongs to medium-temperature drying of noodles. The drying time and energy consumption are moderate, about 5 hours, the requirement of the equipment is not high, the technology is mature, and it is the most used drying process in production enterprises, but single medium-temperature drying is difficult to meet the differentiated development needs of noodle enterprises.

[0008] The high-efficiency noodle drying process of Chinese patent document CN 110686471 A gradually increases the temperature of the finished noodles. (1) The finished wet noodles are hung and pushed to the drying chamber, the temperature is 20℃-30℃, the humidity is 65%-70%, the wind speed is 1.0-2.0 m / s, and the time is 6-10 min; (2) Adjust the temperature of the drying chamber to 30℃-40℃, the environmental humidity to 65%-75%, the wind speed to 1.5-2.5 m / s, and the time to 10-16 min; (3) Further increase the temperature, so that the temperature of the drying chamber is 40℃-55℃, the environmental humidity is 68%-70%, the wind speed is 1.5-2.5 m / s, and the time is 6-12 min; (4) Further increase the temperature, so that the temperature of the drying chamber is 65℃-75℃, the environmental humidity is 60%-75%, the wind speed is 1.5-2.5 m / s, and the time is 15-25 min; (5) Temperature reduction cooling, after the noodles complete temperature reduction drying, keep the humidity at 70%, then slowly reduce the temperature to 20℃, continue to dry the noodles under this condition, the drying time is 30-50 min, and the wind speed in the improved area is increased to 3.0 m / s.

[0009] The highest drying temperature of the patent disclosed above is 75 DEG C, which belongs to high-temperature drying of noodles. The drying time is relatively short, about 150 minutes. The process not only can quickly complete the drying, but also can kill the eggs and microorganisms carried in the noodle raw materials, prolong the shelf life of the product, and endow the noodles with special flavor and taste. However, the process has high requirements for parameter control and equipment, and is used by fewer enterprises. SUMMARY

The low-temperature and slow dewatering mode of the present application can effectively activate the endogenous enzymes in the noodles, produce biochemical reactions of micro-fermentation, and promote the formation of micro-porous structure.

[0048] D. By comparing the present invention with other process products, it can be seen that the noodles produced by other processes have a water content of ≤13.0%, a natural breaking rate of ≤0.3%, and a cooking loss of 6.5%-10%; while the noodles produced by the present invention have a water content of ≤12.5%, a natural breaking rate of ≤0.22%, and a cooking loss of <6.5%, and the dried noodle product has a better quality than the dried noodle product produced by other processes.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0069] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a noodle line ripening and slow dehydration integrated processing technology for micro-fermented noodles, which comprises a noodle setting drying stage 11, a noodle line ripening drying stage 12, a slow low-temperature dehydration drying stage 13 and a cooling and slow recovery drying stage 14. Each drying stage 1 is provided with 1-3 closed drying chambers, and the drying chambers are provided with noodle conveying lines 8 with independent control of conveying speed and temperature and humidity control devices. The noodle conveying lines 8 are sequentially connected to each other. The noodle 4 after cutting and hanging on the rod is placed on the noodle conveying line 8, and sequentially passes through the closed noodle setting drying chamber, the noodle line ripening drying chamber, the slow low-temperature dehydration drying chamber and the cooling and slow recovery drying chamber. The noodle line ripening drying stage 12 is used to activate the endogenous enzyme in the noodles and produce micro-fermentation, forming a microstructure 7 in the noodles. The slow low-temperature dehydration drying stage 13 and the cooling and slow recovery drying stage 14 are used for gradient dehydration drying of the noodles 4.

[0070] The present application sets four stages of temperature and humidity adjusting, noodle line setting, slow low-temperature dehydration and temperature reduction and slow recovery, and the noodles 4 pass through the drying stages 1 in sequence to complete gradient dehydration.

[0071] The temperature and humidity adjusting setting stage 11 sets 1-3 setting drying rooms, the drying environment temperature is 28-32℃, the drying environment humidity is 75-80%, the wind speed is 2-3m / s, and the passing time is 8-15min, so that the noodles surface is rapidly dehydrated, and the noodle line is prevented from being elongated and the thickness is prevented from being uneven.

[0072] The noodle line setting stage 12 sets 1-3 noodle setting drying rooms, the drying environment temperature is 30-35℃, the drying environment humidity is 80-87%, the wind speed is 1.5-2.5m / s, and the passing time is 120-150min, so that the noodle surface dehydration speed is inhibited, the gluten network is further formed, the endogenous enzyme is effectively activated, the biochemical reaction of micro-fermentation is generated, and the micro-pore structure is promoted to form.

[0073] The slow low-temperature dehydration stage 13 sets 1-3 slow low-temperature dehydration drying rooms, the drying environment temperature is 35-38℃, the drying environment humidity is 65-73%, the wind speed is 1.5-2m / s, and the passing time is 260-340min, so that slow low-temperature dehydration is realized, and the gluten network is prevented from being broken due to the too fast drying rate.

[0074] The temperature reduction and slow recovery stage 14 sets 1-3 temperature reduction and slow recovery drying rooms, the drying environment temperature is 30-32℃, the drying environment humidity is 60-65%, the wind speed is 1-1.5m / s, and the passing time is 60-80min, so that the internal and external moisture is slowly reduced and homogenized, and the balanced moisture requirement of the noodles is met.

[0075] The present application includes four drying stages, and preferably 6-8 drying rooms are adopted in total. The first stage meets the low-temperature setting requirement, realizes the rapid dehydration of the noodles surface, avoids the elongation of the noodle line or the uneven thickness of the noodles, the second stage is the noodle line setting area, considers the slow dehydration, effectively activates the endogenous enzyme, generates the biochemical reaction of micro-fermentation, and promotes the formation of the micro-pore structure, the third stage is the slow low-temperature dehydration area, the highest temperature is controlled to be below 38℃, slow low-temperature dehydration is realized, and the gluten network is prevented from being broken due to the too fast drying rate, and the fourth stage is the temperature reduction and slow recovery area, the product temperature of the noodles is reduced to the room temperature state, the internal and external moisture is homogenized, the balanced moisture of the noodles is stabilized, the direct cutting and packaging requirement is met, the dehydration process is efficiently connected with the front and rear ends of the noodle processing.

[0076] This invention controls the difference in dehydration rates between the surface and internal moisture of noodles by adjusting the temperature, humidity, and wind speed of the drying environment, thus completing the noodle maturation and gradient dehydration drying. Specifically, during the maturation stage, the evaporation rate of surface moisture is less than the diffusion rate of internal moisture, resulting in a relatively high internal moisture content, which is beneficial for micro-fermentation. During the dehydration stage, a slow, low-temperature dehydration method is used to ensure a balance between the evaporation rates of free and bound water, avoiding damage to the microporous structure formed in the noodles during maturation.
