In the study, attempts were made to investigate the safety of the deep-fried instant noodles. A total of 50 deep-fried instant noodles were puchased from a local supermarket. Acid value , peroxide value, preservatives, heavy metals and pesticide residues were determined. Acid value(AV) and peroxide value(POV) of deep-fried instant noodles were lower than the Food Law in force. Any preservatives were not detected in all deep-fried instant noodles. The level of all heavy metals and pesticide residues found in deep-fried instant noodles were fairly low, and pesticide residues in deep-fried instant noodles was almost removed after cooking. It was conclued from these results that deep-fried instant noodles may be no harmful in oxidative stability(AV, POV) and sanitary safety(preservatives, heavy metals and pesticides).

The quality of Ramyon prepared from hard red winter-western white (HRW-WW) and dark northern spring-western white (DNS-WW) flour blends having protein contents of 9.12-9.78% was examined. The noodles were manufactured by commercial process with the same water absorption. The weight and volume of cooked noodle were decreased as the protein content increased at the same cooking time. No significant differences in cooking properties were observed between noodles prepared from HRW-WW and DNS-WW blends. The weight and volume of noodle prepared from HRW-WW blend cooked for 4 min showed significant negative correlation with farinograph and extensograph data and protein contents of flours, but positive correlation with amylograph data. Such correlations were not found from noodles prepared from DNS-WW blend. Based on the sensory evaluation of cooked noodle it was concluded that the optimum protein content for noodle manufacture was in the range of 9.28-9.62%. The replacement of HRW with DNS flour had no effect on the sensory quality of noodle.

Deep-fried instant noodle was prepared on a laboratory scale (150 units). A part of the noodle was packed in gas-proof laminated film bags with a small package of an oxygen scavenger made from Fe-powder and a 150 ml of air in each bag(Sample 1). Another part was packed in ordinary laminated film bags (Control), and the rest was vacuum-packed (74 mmHg) in the gas-proof film bags (Sample 2). All samples were placed in an incubator kept at $45.0{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ for 45 days. Oxygen-removing power of the scavenger, and peroxide and thiobarbituric acid values of the samples were determined regulary. The results of the study are as follows: 1. The residual oxygen concentration of the bags in Sample 1 decreased from the original 21% to less than 0. 5% after 48 hr. 2. POVs of Control, Samples 1 and 2 after 45 days were $12.4{\pm}0.4$, $5.7{\pm}0.2$ and $6.8{\pm}0.1\;meq/㎏$ fat respectively. It was noteworthy that the POV of Sample 1 did not change significantly during the storage period. The scavenger seemed very effective in retarding the POV development of Sample 1. 3. TBA values of Control, Sample 1 and 2 after 45 days were $1.31{\pm}0.04$, $0.60{\pm}0.04$, and $0.72{\pm}0.07$. As in the case of POVs, the samples packed with the scavengers exhibited consistently smaller TBA values than the vacuum-packed samples in later stages of the storage period.

Deep fried instant noodles, biscuits, and cookies were prepared, using the same beef tallow as their fat ingredient. In addition to wheat flour and beef tallow, the common and major ingredients, the deep fried instant noodle contained 1.5% salt before frying, the biscuits 20.0% sucrose and 10.0% nonfat milk solid before baking, and the cookies 20.0% sucrose before baking. The three products and a portion of beef tallow, which was to be used as control, were stored in an incubator at $47.0{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$. The peroxide value and the free fatty acid value of the control and the extracted fat were determined regularly during the storage period. The fat incorporated in the biscuits exhibited far greater stability to rancidity development than that of the control with regard to both peroxide value and free fatty acid value development. However, the fat incorporated in the deep fried instant noodles and the cookies showed much poorer stability than that of the control. Factors like a deep frying process and/or the presence of a significant amount of salt in the deep fried instant noodles appeared to promote the rancidity development of the fat incorporated in the product. On the other hand, Maillard type browning reaction products in the biscuits seemed to retard effectively the rancidity development of the fat incorporated in the product.

The consumption pattern of Ramyon(a deep-fried instant noodle) in Seoul area was surveyed in 1988. Of 2,432 consumers, 801 consumers were considered to be non-eating. Based on Ramyon eating consumers, most frequent consumption of Ramyon was 1-2 times per week. The frequency of consumption decreased in the order of middle school student, high school student, university student, office worker and housewife. Most consumers eat Ramyon because of convenience for meal substitution. Consumers considered that the taste of soup was more important than the texture of noodle. The most desirable texture and taste of soup were chewy and spicy, respectively. The consumption pattern of Ramyon between sex and among occupation groups were different. However, no significant differences were observed between sex and among occupation groups as far as quality factors were considered.

A study was conducted on the preparation of Ramyon using composite flours of raked barley (20 or 30%)-wheat(80 or 70%) in commercial plant scale and on the quality evaluation of Ramyon made from those flours. The naked barley(20%)-wheat(80%) flour gave acceptable Ramyon-making characteristics during the continuous Ramyon manufacturing process. The composite flours had a higher water absorption rate in kneading process and oil absorption value of the Ramyon product than those of wheat flour alone. Even though the Ramyon of composite flours showed a little inferior value compared with wheat flour alone in the cooking and texture characteristics, sensory panel scores of Ramyon indicated that the naked barley (20%)-wheat(80%) flour was acceptable in Ramyon.

Effects of frying conditions on cooking properties of ramyon (deep-fried instant noodle) were investigated. The moisture content, which was decreased as the frying temperature $(140-160^{\circ}C)$ and time (30-70 sec) increased, was negatively correlated with lipid content. The weight gain was higher than volume gain at a given frying condition Weight or volume gain rate constant for ramyons fried at $140^{\circ}\;and\;150^{\circ}C$ increased with increase of frying time, but that for ramyon fried at $140^{\circ}\;and\;150^{\circ}C$ increased with increase of frying time, but that for ramyon fried at $160^{\circ}C$ showed opposite trend. The initial cooking rate decreased as the frying time was increased in all cases and as the frying temperature was elevated at a given frying time.

Ramyon(deep fat fried instant noodle with palm oil) preserved in sunlight, room temp. ($20{\pm}5^{\circ}C$), incubator ($30{\pm}2^{\circ}C$) and corrugated fiber board box to investigate the oxidative changes of the Ramyon lipids. In the study, changes in acid value, peroxide value, carbonyl value, TBA value, fatty acid composition, iodine value and panel test were determined with the lipids extracted from the Ramyon samples in intervals for a period of 20 weeks. Acid value, peroxide value, carbonyl value and TBA value of the Ramyon lipid were increased slightly during the storage in aluminum foil package in the corrugated fiber board box in the dark room. They did not appear the oxidative rancid odor at the end of 20 weeks storage. Acid value, peroxide value, carbonyl value and TBA value of the samples under room temp., incubator slightly during storage, while a sharp increase of those values were noticed with the samples of sunlight. Especially, the TBA value of the Ramyon lipid under sunlight markedly increased within 14 weeks and then decreased. Oxidative rancid odor appeared at the end of 10 weeks storage under sunlight, while it took 18 weeks with the sample stored under room temp. and incubator. During the storage under incubator and sunlight for 18 weeks, the content of oleic, linoleic acid decreased, while palmitic and stearic acid increased. However, only small changes were noticed in iodine value of the samples.

The oxidative stability of the ramyon prepared with ricebran oil fortified with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, BHA, TBHQ, and ascorbyl palmitate+citric acid or blended with palm oil was studied to assess the suitability of the oil as the frying oil. The antioxidants were added to a ricebran oil at 0.02% level, respectively, while blended oils were prepared by adding a palm oil to the ricebran oil at ratios of 3:7, 5:5, and 7:3. Ramyon samples were prepared by frying steamed noodel with the oils. They were stored in dark at $35.0{\pm}0^{\circ}C$. for 90 days. Peroxide, acid, iodine values, dielectric constant, and fatty acid composition of the oils extracted from the samples were determined regularly. The oxidative stability of the extracted oils and storage stability of the samples were estimated from the results of the determinations. ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ did not exert any appreciable antioxidant effect on the extracted oil while BHA demonstrated some effect. Ascorbyl palmitate with citric acid and especially TBHQ exerted a considerable effect. The storage stability of the samples fried with the oil fortified with TBHQ was as good as that of the samples prepared with the palm oil. The stability of the samples improved as the palm oil content In the frying oil increased. The stability of the samples fried with the blended oil containing 70f) palm oil was comparable to that of the samples prepared with the pure palm oil

Chemical changes with time of frying-fats during the frying process (beef tallow with 0.01% BHA and 0.01% BHT, turnover rate 9%/hr and $140{\pm}10^{\circ}C$ temperature) of Ramyon on a commercial scale were studied. No significant changes of carbonyl value and peroxide value were noted up to 120 hrs. However, small increases in acid value, color and dimeric fatty acid were noted. Small decreases in iodine value and the content of unsaturated fatty acids were also observed. Under the experimental storage condition, when the stability of fats heated were compared to fresh fat, minor differences in carbonyl value and weight gain were noted. All of these demonstrated that frying-fats commercially used in Ramyon frying system were maintained in good quality during the frying process.
