Developing Edible Starch Film Used for Packaging Seasonings in Instant Noodles

Edible starch-based film was developed for packaging seasoning applied in instant noodles. The edible film can quickly dissolve into hot water so that the seasoning bag can mix in the soup of instant noodles during preparation. To meet the specific requirements of the packaging, such as reasonable high tensile properties, ductility under arid conditions, and low gas permeability, hydroxypropyl cornstarch with various edible additives from food-grade ingredients were applied to enhance the functionality of starch film. In this work, xylose was used as a plasticizer, cellulose crystals were used as a reinforcing agent, and laver was used to decrease gas permeability. The microstructures, interface, and compatibility of various components and film performance were investigated using an optical microscope under polarized light, scanning electron microscope, gas permeability, and tensile testing. The relationship was established between processing methodologies, microstructures, and performances. The results showed that the developed starch-based film have a modulus of 960 MPa, tensile strength of 36 Mpa with 14% elongation, and water vapor permeability less than 5.8 g/m2.h under 20% RH condition at room temperature (25 °C), which meets the general requirements of the flavor bag packaging used in instant noodles.

Penerapan lean manufacturing dalam mereduksi pemborosan pada raw material bumbu dengan metode PDCA

PT. XYZ is a manufacturing company that produces processed food. Instant noodles is one of the type product that produced by PT. XYZ, which contains raw material for spice as one of the main complementary material. This research focused on the waste of raw material for instant noodles seasoning. The purpose of this research is to reduce the waste and to determine which factors that cause waste. This study using Plan Do Check Action method which is expected to reduce waste that occurs within the company. The highest waste within 18 days of production was 15.28%, the lowest was -2.3% and there was no waste, and the average waste during that period was 3.2%. the result of the highest and dominant factor in the waste of raw material was the lack of skill of the operator was just moved from screw division, thus they didn’t know how to operate machine. While the second factor was the lack of maintenance of the machine by quality control departement for pitch standardization. And the third factor was the cutter knife didn’t really cut because of the cutter block.

The Influence of Rice Protein, Hemp Protein and Transglutaminase Addition on the Quality of Instant Fried Noodles

The goal of this study was to determine the effect of rice and hemp protein addition together with transglutaminase on the quality and fat content of fried instant noodles. The following parameters have been analyzed during this research: the amount of water, fat content, hydration time, color and texture parameters. The evaluation of sensory parameters before and after cooking of instant noodles has been performed. It can be concluded that the addition of TGase significantly decreased the fat content; the recipe with a 3% hemp protein addition with TGase in an amount of 2% was the most promising solution to obtain a low-fat product. On the other hand, the better consumer acceptance levels were observed for the rice protein addition (1%) with 2% TGase. It seems that the most promising product is the sample with a 5% addition of rice protein with 2% TGase-a reduction in the fat content by 30% (from 25% to 16%). The addition of rice protein, hemp protein and TGase reduced the fat content of the instant noodles in comparison to the control sample. The additives used had an impact on the L*, a* and b* color parameters. All instant noodles obtained during the research process were characterized by a short hydration time, which did not exceed 5 min. During the sensory evaluation, analyzed samples of the instant noodles obtained scores higher than 4.2 points on a five-point scale.
