◆Experimental Purpose: To detect the preservation effect of different concentrations of Buffered Vinegar Powder A64 on wet noodles (26% moisture)
◆Experimental Groups:
Different concentrations of Buffered Vinegar Powder A64 were added to the wet noodles (based on the mass of flour)
The positive control group was treated with 0.5% potassium sorbate.
No additives are added to the blank group.

★ On the third day of storage, the noodles with 26% moisture content had a slight sour taste in the 0.5% and 0.7% addition groups, and impurities appeared on the fourth day.
★The 0.9% vinegar powder addition group had a slight sour taste on the fourth day, and the rest was normal.
