1.What are Food Additives   In order to improve the quality of food and color and flavor, as well as preservation and processing technology needs to be added to the food in the natural or chemically synthesized substances called food additives. It enriches the variety and taste of food, meets the various needs of consumers, but also affects people's lives, once used in violation of the law may bring serious negative impacts, for noodle products, the appropriate amount of use can improve the quality of noodle products, increase economic benefits. China is a large consumer of noodle products, more than half of the population of the country to noodle-based food. China's annual production of wheat 130-140 million tons, the national flour consumption of 90 million tons. Wheat and other crops are one of the important grain crops in China and occupy a very important position in agricultural production. Flour as the main processed products of wheat occupies a large proportion in people's dietary structure. With the improvement of people's living standards, the requirements of food have become higher and higher, whether it is the taste, color or different needs in the processing of pasta products put forward higher requirements, therefore, the scientific and rational addition of food additives is necessary. 2. Additives in noodle products    To produce good noodle products, we must have a good flour, in order to meet the market for a variety of noodle products on the quality of the flour of a variety of requirements, the national food sector research and development of nine kinds of food special powder standards, approved by the State Bureau of Technical Supervision for implementation, that is: bread, noodles, dumplings, steamed bread, cookies, soda cookies, cakes, cakes, pastries, wheat flour and wheat flour with spontaneous. However, it is not enough to improve the quality of noodle products only with these special flours. For example, raw cut noodles, hanging noodles, Instant Noodles and other different varieties of noodles have different processes. And consumer demand is the pot to cook, not paste the soup, into the mouth smooth, soft, elastic. It is necessary to adjust the process in the processing technology, with various types of pasta additives, in order to produce a variety of noodles to meet market demand. Therefore, it is important to study the application of food additives in noodle products. (1) Thickening agent   Flour gluten enhancers play an important role in improving the gluten of flour, improving the quality of flour and improving the quality of noodle products, and have been developed and applied mainly for the production of bread and part of the gluten of noodles. The addition of DHY compound moisture retention thickener can increase the content of gluten in flour, and the effect of gluten enhancement is remarkable. (2) Emulsifier   During the mixing process, the hydrophilic part and lipophilic part of the emulsifier can combine with the wheat gluten protein and wheat gluten protein in the dough respectively, connecting the separated protein molecules with each other to form a kind of gluten protein complex. In this way, gluten proteins from small molecules into large molecules or even supramolecules, to make up for the dough hydration mix, gluten protein binding imperfect defects, so that the gluten network structure is more robust, gluten membrane binding is more perfect. Such as the use of emulsifiers in noodle processing, not only to reduce the cooking paste soup and can enhance the sense of noodle gluten. There are many types of emulsifiers, and they are often combined into Compound Emulsifier. (3)Bulking agent   Bulking agent can not only make the food produce soft sponge-like porous tissue, so that the taste is soft and tasty, volume expansion; and can make chewing saliva quickly penetrate into the tissue of the product, in order to penetrate out the soluble substances within the product, stimulate the gustatory nerves, so that the rapid response to the flavor of the food; when the food enters the stomach, a variety of digestive enzymes can be quickly entered into the food tissue, so that the food can be easily and quickly digested, absorbed, and avoid nutrient loss. Avoid loss of nutrients. Dewei source of good solubility, foaming is also very ideal, foam lasting, colorless and tasteless, fluffy effect is good, in recent years in the pasta products in the application of the gradual increase.

Instant noodles in the classification is also no uniform provisions, customary as well as a variety of literature recognized four kinds of division. 1. According to the drying process of instant noodles Divided into fried instant noodles production line, hot air drying instant noodles and boiled instant noodles. (1) Deep-fried Instant Noodles The drying speed is fast (about 70s to finish drying), the pasting degree is high (the starch pasting rate reaches more than 85%), the noodles are porous inside due to the fast evaporation and dehydration in a short time, thus the product has good rehydration, and can be eaten after 3min of wastewater infiltration, which is convenient, and it has a pleasant deep-fried aroma. However, the product is costly because it contains 20%-24% oil. In addition, despite the use of palm oil, which has a high saturated fatty acid content. However, after a period of storage, it will still produce oxidative rancidity phenomenon, resulting in greasy taste, so that the product's texture and taste decreased significantly, so the storage period of fried instant noodles is shorter. (2) Hot air drying instant noodles It is the dehydration and drying of the steamed and battered wet noodles at 70-90 temperature. Since no oil is used, the cost is low, it is not easy to be oxidized and rancid, and the storage time is long. Due to the low drying temperature, the drying time is long, the pasting degree is low, the internal porousness of the noodles is poor, the rehydration time is long when eating, and the convenience is poor. (3) Boiled instant noodles Boiled instant noodles (also known as fresh instant noodles, LL noodles, udon noodles) is another variety of instant noodles after air-dried instant noodles and fried instant noodles. It caters to different consumer tastes and meets the requirements of different grades of consumption. Convenient to eat, boiled instant noodles relative to air-dried and fried instant noodles have more advantages: its rehydration time is short, more convenient to eat: not after frying, long-term consumption is conducive to human health, especially by the majority of young people are welcome: eat more, can be made into soup noodles, can be eaten cold, or fried to eat, each eating method has a different flavor. 2. According to the way of packaging Can be divided into bags, cups, bowls, three. China is currently bagged and bowl-based. Bagged low-cost easy to store and transport, consumption of another tableware, and therefore its convenience is not as bowl, cup products. Bowl, cup instant noodles because of its own tableware, with better convenience, but because of the more expensive packaging containers, so the cost of this product and the price is higher. At present, the recycling rate of various packaging materials used for packaging instant noodles in China is low, which will cause pollution to the environment. 3. According to product flavor Can be divided into a number of types, such as Chinese flavor of soy sauce fried noodles, scallion and oil shrimp flavored noodles: Japanese flavor of soy sauce flavored thick noodles, curry buckwheat noodles: as well as according to the different needs of the instant noodle production line to add different nutrients, such as corn instant noodles, mung bean instant noodles, soybean flour instant noodles or other grains, legumes, instant noodles, and so on. 4. According to noodle type It can be divided into two categories: square instant noodles and round instant noodles.
