Impact of Cooking and Additives on the Chemical and Microbiological Characteristics of Indomie Noodles

The main goal of this study was to determine the effect of cooking and added materials (spices and monosodium glutamate) on the chemical and microbial characteristics of two types of indomie noodles )chicken and vegetable flavoured( . The samples were the products of Sawabash factory (Soba industrial area). The samples were analyzed before and after the cooking at 100C for 20 minutes. The obtained results of the chemical analysis of vegetable flavoured and chicken flavoured indomie before cooking were as follows: moisture content (5.38, 4.45%) ash content (0.83, 0.69%) crude protein (8.71, 8.83%) crude fibre (0.42, 0.37%) fat content (0.34, 0.30%) carbohydrates content (84.32, 85.36%) and energy content was (375.20, 379.50 kcal). While the results after cooking were (40.84, 39.89%) (5.86, 8.31%) (2.59, 2.55%) (0.23, 0.18%) (0.43, 0.53%)
