Noodles, Instant mashed potatoes

Emulsifiers make a rigid complex with starch to protect starch granules and improve the quality of starchy foods.
 
Noodles

Effects of emulsifiers on macaroni, spaghetti of low water content, fresh noodles containing high water content and dried instant noodles are different, however, the basic effects on starch are similar.
For macaroni and spaghetti, emulsifiers provide a feeling of elasticity, and a smooth uniform surface which inhibits sticking after boiling.

In fresh noodles, an emulsifier makes easy to handle dough and increases the water absorption rate by 1 to 2%. The surface of the noodle becomes smooth and uniform and less-sticky, resulting in improved for production.

In instant noodles, emulsifiers improve absorption and decrease cooking time.
Type P(V)SP, Ematech, Friendy-M are suitable for noodles.
 
 
Instant mashed potatoes

Instant mashed potatoes, are produced as follows: potato was mashed after boiling and dried into flakes.
If a starch granule is broken or damaged in this process, amylose in the starch granule is apt to dissolve, resulting in a sticky and glutinous product.
When distilled monoglyceride is added just before drying, it forms a starch complex, which protects starch granules. Thus, the mashed potatoes exhibit a smooth texture.
Type P(V) is suitable for instant mashed potatoes.

Monoglyceride is used as an anti-sticking agent for steamed rice. Type P(V) and Ematech are recommended for steamed rice.
