Instant noodles are quite popular these days. Due to the quick preparation, they like to take such noodles on long trips, travel, to work or study. Sometimes, in order not to waste time preparing a full meal, people pour boiling water over a crispy briquette, and the food is ready. This dish belongs to the category of fast food and comes in a variety of flavors. Many people have heard that there are no benefits from such snacks, but few people can say for sure whether Doshirak is harmful to the body. To understand the health hazards of instant noodles, you need to understand thoroughly.

Composition of the product

Instant noodles refers to pasta and is prepared by pouring boiling water for 5 minutes. The composition of such vermicelli contains monosodium glutamate, which is used in medicine to treat certain neurological disorders, and its use must be agreed with the doctor. In addition, the product contains flavors that mimic beef, pork, chicken, mushrooms, cheese and herbs.

Vermicelli also contains vegetable fat. Many enterprising manufacturers replace the vegetable oil indicated in the composition with harmful palm oil. The harm of instant noodles is obvious, the composition contains a lot of chemicals, flavors, flavor enhancers and fats of dubious quality.

Before you put a package of noodles in a basket in the store, you should carefully study the composition of the product. Sometimes this is enough to refuse such a purchase.

Harm to products

The benefits and harms of noodles like "Doshirak" are incommensurable. But what are the benefits? Of the advantages of this product, one can only name the speed and convenience of preparation, as well as a pleasant taste that literally beckons to buy another package of vermicelli.

The product contains a very dangerous substance monosodium glutamate, which causes a number of disorders in the human body:

• It retains fluid, due to which edema appears and pressure steadily rises.
• There is a gradual addiction, and a person can no longer live without such noodles.
• Combined with flavorings and spices, monosodium glutamate has a bad effect on the stomach and can lead to gastritis or ulcers.
• May cause severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

It is not recommended to eat any instant noodles for children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with chronic diseases. If there is no choice, then you can eat instant noodles, but without adding the spices that come with it. The benefits of such a product are less than those of ordinary pasta, since there are no vitamins and proteins in the composition, but only carbohydrates. The product has low nutritional value, so it will not work to satisfy a strong hunger with noodles. For a snack, it is better to take an apple or a banana, there will definitely be more benefits from fruits.

Noodles "Rolton"

This product has firmly gained a position in the market and many buyers, again thanks to advertising, consider Rolton less harmful than the rest of this type of noodles. Indeed, there seems to be nothing superfluous in the composition:

• noodles;
• vegetable fat;
• salt;
• seasonings;
• dry greens and vegetables.

But it is worth reading the small letters and the same monosodium glutamate, which causes various health disorders, catches your eye. If a person eats such products every day, then he has a psychological dependence, which is what the producers of this fast food are counting on.

What diseases can noodles cause

The harm and benefits of instant noodles are not even considered by some people, they put convenience and good taste in the first place. If a person rarely consumes such vermicelli, then most likely there will be no harm, only if there is no individual intolerance to some of the components that make up the product. With the constant use of instant noodles, there may be such health problems:

• Allergic reactions, and in some cases there may be Quincke's edema, which will require urgent medical intervention.
• Acute gastritis, which then turns into an ulcer.
• Digestive disorders with nausea and diarrhoea.
• Failures in the work of the cardiovascular system.
• Hypertension.
• Renal failure.

If a person daily replaces at least one meal with such a product, a lack of minerals and vitamins begins to be felt in his body. This affects not only health, but also appearance. The hair becomes dull and lifeless, the nails brittle, and the skin takes on a grayish tint.

If, after eating instant noodles, a person sprinkled and itchy skin appeared, this indicates a strong allergic reaction to such a product. Adsorbents are given as first aid, and after 20-30 minutes antihistamines are given. If the condition does not improve, you need to go to the nearest hospital.

Instant noodles are sold in all grocery stores. The price of these products is affordable for people with different incomes, which only adds to the popularity. If a person eats a package of Rolton once a month, then nothing terrible will happen, but with constant use, health disorders are actually guaranteed. It must be remembered that everything should be in moderation, especially when it comes to fast food.

WATCH EVERYONE!

Instant noodles were created in Japan by Ando Momofuki after World War II to feed the country's impoverished population. After that, she conquered Asian countries, and then the whole world. In Japan, it was recognized as one of the most significant inventions of the century. In Russia, it began to be made in the nineties. One of the most popular manufacturers in our country were and remain Doshirak, Rolton and Anakom.

Many of the consumers are wondering what Anakom (Doshirak, Rolton) is made of? Like any pasta, such noodles are made from baking wheat flour of the highest grade and water, the peculiarity is that starch, egg powder and a thickener are added to such noodles.

WHAT IS THE ARTICLE ABOUT?

Production process

sifting flour

To begin with, the flour is sifted on special installations and additional ingredients are added to it, which improve the properties of the noodles and make it elastic and dense. Then the resulting dry mixture enters the machine, which kneads the dough. At this stage, water with salt enters there. A minimum amount of water is needed to make the kneaded dough tight and elastic. The dough is kneaded for about 15-20 minutes. After that it comes another 5 minutes.

Rolling out dough
Cutting already wavy noodles

The production of Doshirak (Anakoma, Rolton) differs from ordinary pasta in that these manufacturers make the noodles wavy. Thus, the next step is cutting the dough into strips 1 mm wide, and in order to give characteristic waves, the dough is cut on a special machine, where the tape on which the workpiece lies moves along two oxen, the rotation speed of one of them is higher than that of the second, so the dough slows down and begins to twist.

Why is the brewing time a few minutes?

How is Doshirak made that it does not need to be boiled, but simply poured with boiling water and left for a few minutes? The explanation lies in a special technological process.

Steam engine

The first stage of heat treatment is steam. At a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, the noodles are steamed for about 5 minutes. Such preparation has its advantages over boiling in water, firstly, the product retains its shape and does not boil soft, and secondly, it does not absorb excess water, which allows to increase the shelf life.

Then, with salted water, the released starch is washed off the noodles. Then it is impregnated with vegetable oil and cut into briquettes.

Roast preparation

The next stage of heat treatment is laying out on mini-pans and deep-frying at a temperature of 150 degrees for 4 minutes. Thus, the noodles are already ready to eat and do not need to be boiled. Roasting "seals" the product and gives it the ability to be stored from three months to a year.

After deep-frying, it is cooled to a temperature of 26-33 degrees. Then instant noodles pass quality control for defects. After that, the product is placed in a container for sale, in the form of a bowl, a rectangular container or in a bag. Additional ingredients are also placed there - broth, sauce, freeze-dried vegetables and a dry mixture of seasonings and spices.

Butter based sauce

The sauce is made on the basis of oil, water, salt, flavor enhancers, starch, stabilizers and preservatives are also added there. Freeze-dried vegetables are made by drying them in a special way, due to which they restore their shape and taste properties after contact with hot water.

Control and packaging workshop

After packaging, it is weighed to determine underweight or overweight. The defective copy is withdrawn. The last stage of control is a metal detector, in case metal objects of production, for example, a bolt from any mechanism, get into the products. Marriage is also withdrawn.

Harm of instant noodles

The production of instant noodles includes deep-frying, so trans fats are formed, which are harmful to humans. Having learned what Anakom, Doshirak and Rolton are made of, it became clear that the product contains harmful ingredients, such as flavor enhancers, preservatives, stabilizers and a large amount of salt - all this is very dangerous if you eat such noodles every day.

This can cause excess weight, as noodles contain fast carbohydrates, due to which the feeling of fullness comes quickly, but hunger comes in an hour or two. Flavor enhancers cause a feeling of hunger while eating, and a person can eat more than the body requires. Trans fats and excess salt negatively affect the cardiovascular system of the body, and artificial food additives provoke rashes on the face.

Summing up, it is worth noting that instant noodles should be eaten in exceptional cases and very rarely.

To minimize the harmfulness of the product, you need to choose the right one.

The packaging must be intact and not deformed. Plastic packaging better protects the noodles from mechanical stress than polyethylene. Also, the noodles in the bag are easily damaged, after which harmful bacteria, germs and mold can get into it.

Noodle composition and labeling

The packaging must contain: marking, composition, date of manufacture, expiration date and method of preparation. High-quality noodles should contain natural ingredients, that is, if the taste of chicken is declared on the package, the composition should contain dried chicken meat or chicken broth. Artificial ingredients should be minimal.

Pay attention to the expiration date, the shorter it is, the less preservatives are added to the noodles.

The smell of a dry noodle briquette should be of fresh vegetable oil. If the smell is rancid, then the production technology is violated, such a product should not be eaten.

The color of dry noodles is yellowish or creamy. White color - an indicator of the addition of dye.

When brewing, the noodles should boil well, but not lose their shape and structure. However, it should not increase too much in volume.

A bitter taste indicates that the production technology was violated or the storage conditions were not observed. The most important thing is to maintain the humidity level, because if it rises, then mold will appear in the bag.
