“…Based on prior studies, multiple factors have been related to fat absorption during the frying process of instant noodles. These factors include flour quality (Gulia & Khatkar, 2015; Park & Baik, 2004a, Park & Baik, 2004b; Wu et al., 2006), water quantity and quality (Choy et al., 2010; Ding & Liu, 2009; Yu & Ngadi, 2004), oil type (Qi et al., 2019), dough mixing (Jazaeri et al., 2015), dough resting (Li et al., 2017), dough sheeting (Gulia & Khatkar, 2013; Tanaka et al., 2017), steaming (Chewangkul et al., 2002), and the frying process (Dhital et al., 2010; Li et al., 2016; Marciniak‐Lukasiak et al., 2019). In addition, the fat content of fried instant noodles can be lowered by including additives and functional ingredients in the formulation (Falade & Badanga, 2020; Pongpichaiudom & Songsermpong, 2018b).…”
