Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of quick-frozen pasta, and in particular to a method for preparing quick-frozen pasta for preventing the pasta from losing water. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of social modernization and urbanization, especially the fast-paced lifestyle of urban residents, people's demand for convenient and fast food has greatly increased. The convenience of quick-frozen food makes it the first choice for modern families and the catering industry. As one of the important foods in China and many other cultures, pasta has entered the market through quick-freezing technology, meeting consumers' demand for fast, convenient and delicious food; the application of quick-freezing technology enables pasta to maintain freshness and safety for a long time in a frozen environment. This technology can not only extend the shelf life of pasta, but also avoid food safety issues such as corruption and deterioration, and enhance consumers' trust and willingness to buy. Especially in the process of large-scale production and sales, quick-frozen pasta can reduce the circulation links of food and ensure the freshness and quality of food.

[0003] During the freezing and thawing process of existing quick-frozen pasta, the loss of water in the pasta will cause a change in taste. For example, the noodles and dumpling wrappers will become dry, tough or loose, losing the softness and elasticity when they were freshly made. Especially after heating, the pasta tastes rough and is not as delicate and smooth as fresh pasta. At the same time, due to the loss of water, it will deform and crack. During the cooking process, the shape is unstable, affecting the appearance and overall appeal of the food. As the water is lost, the nutritional value will be further lost.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a solution. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing quick-frozen pasta which can prevent the pasta from losing water, and the prepared quick-frozen pasta will not lose too much water and has good taste and nutritional value.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: A method for preparing quick-frozen pasta to prevent pasta from losing water comprises the following steps: S1: weigh raw materials according to the percentage of 65% fresh flour, 1.5% yeast powder, 0.4% baking powder, 1.5% white sugar, 26.6% purified water and 5% edible oil to prepare dough ingredients; S2: preparing a quick-frozen pasta water loss prevention improver according to the percentages of 25-30% wheat starch, 5-15% soybean oil, 15-20% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, 10-15% xanthan gum, 0.5-1% ascorbic acid, 2-3% glucose, 0.5-1% citric acid, 10-15% corn oil and 5-10% egg powder; S3: Put the dough ingredients into a mixer and stir evenly, set the mixer speed to 1000-1200 rpm, stir for 15 minutes, add the quick-frozen pasta water loss prevention improver after stirring, and repeat stirring for 15 minutes; S4: After the mixing is completed, the dough is transferred to a dough mixer and mixed for 15-20 minutes. After the mixing is completed, a smooth and non-sticky dough is obtained. The dough is sealed with plastic wrap and placed in a constant temperature box for initial resting. The initial resting time is 40-60 minutes. S5: Take the dough out of the incubator after it has risen, remove the plastic wrap, fold the dough from both sides to the middle, then rotate 90 degrees and fold it again, repeating the folding process 10-15 times; S6: Use plastic wrap to seal the dough that has been folded repeatedly, and then put it into a constant temperature box to let it rest again. The resting time is 90-120 minutes. S7: After the dough is rested again, the dough is processed into specific pasta, and the pasta to be pre-cooked is placed in 100° C. boiling water and pre-cooked for 3-5 minutes, and then taken out after the pre-cooking is completed; S8: Spread the pasta on the tray, and be careful not to overlap it during the spreading process. Transfer the pasta to the quick-freezing chamber. After verifying that the chamber door is sealed intact, start the vacuum pump and pump the quick-freezing chamber to a vacuum degree of 25-30Pa. Then set the cooling rate of the cold storage to 6℃ / min and cool the cold storage to -18℃ for 30-45min. S9: vacuum packing the quick-frozen pasta, and sending it to a freezer for storage after packaging, so as to obtain quick-frozen pasta that prevents the pasta from losing water.

[0007] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the water loss prevention modifier to the dough in step S2 is 1:100; the thermostat in step S5 is a thermostat with a temperature of 38° C. and a relative humidity of 70%; the thermostat in step S6 is a thermostat with a temperature of 40° C. and a relative humidity of 75%; Furthermore, the preparation method of the quick-frozen pasta anti-water loss improver comprises the following steps: A1: Put soybean oil, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, xanthan gum, egg powder and corn oil into a blender and mix them. Set the blender speed to 600-800 rpm and mix for 15 minutes. A2: After stirring, add wheat starch, ascorbic acid, glucose and citric acid and stir repeatedly for 15 minutes. After stirring, transfer to a homogenizer and homogenize for 30 minutes to obtain a quick-frozen pasta water loss preventer.

[0008] Furthermore, the glucose in step A2 is edible white anhydrous glucose powder; the citric acid in step A2 is edible white monohydrate citric acid powder; In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical scheme, the beneficial effect of the present invention is that the quick-frozen pasta for preventing water loss of pasta prepared by the present invention can effectively reduce water loss during the freezing process, make the dough skin smoother and tougher, avoid cracking and shape changes during heating, maintain the original softness, elasticity and taste of the pasta, and at the same time, can better maintain the moisture content of the pasta during low-temperature storage, avoid evaporation and crystallization of water during the freezing process, reduce the texture deterioration of food during storage, reduce the flavor decay caused by water loss, help the pasta retain more nutrients, and ensure that its nutritional value after heating is not lost.
