After the end of World War II, instant noodles were first created in Japan; Ando Momofuki became its author. His goal was to feed the tormented and impoverished inhabitants. The noodles were so tasty and easy to prepare that very quickly conquered the market of Asian countries, and a little later conquered the whole world. In the Land of the Rising Sun, she is considered one of the most significant inventions. And from the beginning of the nineties they began to produce noodles in Russia. The most popular brands of noodles are Rollton, Doshirak and Anacom. The latter will be discussed in the article.
LLC "Anacom", the city of Lakinsk
The production of the Anacom company is located in the city of Lakinsk, Vladimir Region. The founder is Shmaraev Anatoly Grigorievich. Since 1991, the company began to produce food products using its own original technology: mashed potatoes, vermicelli, broths and, of course, Anacom instant noodles. Together with Nissin (Japan), Anacom launched a project to promote a new product - Japanese noodles in trays - on the Russian market. At the moment, Anacom noodles are being successfully sold in six countries around the world, this indicates the company's prosperity and the love of foreign countries for manufactured products.
How do they do it?
What are Anakom noodles made of? Why is she cooking in a few minutes? Many people ask these questions. And they prepare it, as it should be for all pasta, from water mixed with premium wheat flour. The peculiarity of the product is that starch, thickener and egg powder are added to the noodles. And the secret of instant cooking in a special technological process. The fact is that at the initial stage of heat treatment at a temperature of one hundred degrees, noodles are poured over steam for five minutes. This allows you to maintain the shape of the product and increase the shelf life. After the noodles, Anacom is poured over with salted water to wash away all residues from the resulting starch. Now the product is cut into briquettes, previously soaked in vegetable oil. This is followed by heat treatment again, but in deep fat. The temperature at this stage of production is 150 degrees, and the processing time is reduced to four minutes. This method of preparation seems to seal the product, so that it remains for a long time. The next step is to cool the noodles to 30 degrees and send it for quality control. If there is no marriage, it meets the production standard, it is packaged by adding vegetables, dry mixes, seasonings, sauces, broth.
The sauce is made from a mixture of water, salt, oil, as well as starch, preservatives, flavor enhancers and stabilizers. Sublimated vegetables, processed in a special way, upon contact with hot water, get their initial form and restore their taste.
The last control step is weighing and a metal detector, in case a foreign object accidentally gets into the product.
