PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a food product in noodle form having good texture and going down smoothly, in a short time.SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing a food product in noodle form includes: a molding step of molding a raw material including at least alginic acid into a noodle form so as to obtain a material in noodle form a first gelation step of gelatinizing the material in noodle form with a first aqueous solution which contains calcium ions and magnesium ions so as to obtain a gelatinized material in noodle form a second gelation step of gelatinizing the gelatinized material in noodle form with a second aqueous solution which contains calcium ions so as to obtain a food product in noodle form. The concentration of calcium ions in the first aqueous solution is larger than the concentration of calcium ions in the second aqueous solution.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】短時間で食感及び喉ごしのよい麺状食品を製造することができる麺状食品の製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】少なくともアルギン酸類を含む原材料を麺状に成型して麺状材料を得る成型工程と、カルシウムイオン及びマグネシウムイオンを含む第1の水溶液によって前記麺状材料をゲル化させて麺状ゲル化物を得る第1のゲル化工程と、カルシウムイオンを含む第2の水溶液によって前記麺状ゲル化物をゲル化させて麺状食品を得る第2のゲル化工程と、を含み、前記第1の水溶液中のカルシウムイオン濃度が、前記第2の水溶液中のカルシウムイオン濃度よりも大きいことを特徴とする、麺状食品の製造方法【選択図】図1
