PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of a wheat flour composition for making noodles having high visco-elasticity, excellent texture with softness and chewiness, and superior smoothness and taste, without use of processed starch.SOLUTION: A manufacturing method of an organic acid-containing wheat flour composition for making noodles includes the successive steps of adding an organic acid-containing aqueous solution to wheat flour such that the addition amount of the organic acid becomes 0.1 to 3 mass% after drying relative to the mass of the wheat flour, and drying the flour at a temperature of 40 to 120°C. A manufacturing method of noodles includes using the organic acid-containing wheat flour composition produced by the method.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】 加工澱粉を用いなくても、粘弾性が強く、ソフトでモチモチした良好な食感を有し、しかも滑らかさ及び食味にも優れる麺類を製造することのできる小麦粉組成物の製造技術の提供。【解決手段】 乾燥後の有機酸の添加量が小麦粉の質量に基づいて0.1~3質量%となるようにして、小麦粉に有機酸を含有する水溶液を添加した後、40~120℃の温度で乾燥すして製麺用の有機酸含有小麦粉組成物を製造する方法および当該方法で得られる有機酸含有小麦粉組成物を用いて麺類を製造する方法。【選択図】 なし
