Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

[Problem to be Solved]The present invention reduces usage of sodium chloride by adding magnesium chloride, and overcomes problems occurring in using magnesium chloride.[Solution]The present inventors have found that when magnesium chloride is added instead of sodium chloride to noodle strings and a reducing sugar is further added, preferable well-cooked feeling and appearance are imparted in subsequent production process for instant noodles, and thus, the present invention was accomplished. Specifically, the present invention relates to noodle strings for use in production of instant noodles, the noodle strings containing a raw material powder, magnesium chloride and a reducing sugar.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Instant noodles comprising: magnesium chloride, potassium lactate, sodium chloride, and a raw material powder, wherein a content of the magnesium chloride is in a range from 0.05 to 1.50% by weight and a content of the potassium lactate is in a range from 0.10 to 2.50% by weight in a total amount of the instant noodles, and wherein a weight ratio of sodium chloride in a salty taste component is in a range from 0.55 to 0.80, wherein the salty taste component consists essentially of magnesium chloride, potassium lactate and sodium chloride of the instant noodles. 2. The instant noodles according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the magnesium chloride is in a range from 0.10 to 0.70% by weight in the total amount of the instant noodles. 3. The instant noodles according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the potassium lactate is in a range from 0.20 to 1.50% by weight in the total amount of the instant noodles.
