Q |
Air Dried Noodles? |
A |
Air-dried noodles process is as same as the fried noodles except there is no frying
process but it is replaced by hot air circulation. Hot air will take away the moisture in the
noodles so that the noodles will have about 11-12% of water. The product is then shelf
stable. It can be kept for a year longer than the fried type. It also has less calory than
that of fried type. |
Q |
What kind of plastic material use to wrap the noodles? How to determine rate of prevention for moisture and gas? |
A |
Plastic use most for Mama wrapper is OPP/MCPP. It is lamination of 2 films of polypropylene and metal vapor coated in order to increase its ability of light protection as well as gas penetration to the product.
OTR (oxygen transmission rate) and WVTR (water vapor transmission rate) are the parameters used to determine the ability of film wraps. OTR= 20 cm3/m2 d bar; WVTR=0.4 g/m2 day |
