The Science of Slow Release: The Manufacturing Process

The creation of Low GI70 soba is a meticulous journey that blends ancient noodle-making artistry with modern food science. Unlike simple mixing and drying, our proprietary process is designed to maximize the formation of resistant starch and preserve the nutritional integrity of the ingredients. This is not casting or forging metal; it is a delicate food engineering process where every step is critical to achieving the desired low-GI outcome.

①

Precision Ingredient Blending

High-protein buckwheat flour, whole wheat flour, and our patented resistant starch formula are blended in precise, computer-controlled ratios. Water temperature and volume are strictly monitored to ensure optimal dough hydration.

↓

②

Vacuum Dough Mixing & Sheeting

The mixture is kneaded under a vacuum to create a dense, air-bubble-free dough. This enhances the noodle's texture ('al dente' bite) and creates a more robust starch structure, which is crucial for a low GI rating.

↓

③

Multi-Stage Rolling & Aging

The dough sheet is passed through a series of rollers to achieve the perfect thickness. Between rolling stages, the dough is allowed to "age" in a climate-controlled environment. This step is vital for gluten development and starch retrogradation, a key process in forming resistant starch.

Our state-of-the-art facility ensures every batch of Low GI70 soba meets our exacting standards.

↓

④

Precision Slitting & Steaming

The aged sheets are cut into fine soba strands. The noodles then pass through a multi-temperature steaming tunnel. This controlled cooking process gelatinizes the starches before a rapid cooling phase initiates further retrogradation, locking in the low-GI properties.

↓

⑤

Semi-Drying and Packaging

The noodles are carefully semi-dried to the perfect moisture level for extended shelf life and ideal texture. They are then packaged in a modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to maintain freshness and safety.

↓

⑥

Final Pasteurization & Quality Check

Packaged products undergo a final pasteurization step for safety. Each batch is then subjected to rigorous quality control, including GI testing, microbial analysis, and sensory evaluation, ensuring it meets ISO 22000 and HACCP standards.

Your Questions, Answered: Professional FAQ

1. What exactly makes your Low GI70 soba have a low Glycemic Index?

It's a combination of three key factors. First, the use of high-quality buckwheat, which naturally has a better GI profile than refined wheat. Second, our proprietary formulation includes a significant amount of resistant starch, a type of fiber that is not digested in the small intestine and thus does not raise blood glucose. Third, our specialized manufacturing process, involving controlled steaming and cooling (starch retrogradation), physically alters the starch structure to make it more resistant to digestion. This synergy results in the certified low GI value of 54.

2. Is this product suitable for people with Celiac disease?

No, our current formulation is not gluten-free. While buckwheat itself is gluten-free, our Low GI70 soba contains whole wheat flour to achieve the desired texture and protein structure. The presence of wheat means it contains gluten and is not suitable for individuals with Celiac disease or a high gluten sensitivity. We are, however, actively researching a gluten-free low-GI noodle in our R&D lab.

3. How do I cook it for the best texture and to preserve its low-GI properties?

For optimal results, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the soba and cook for 5-6 minutes for an 'al dente' texture. Do not overcook. Overcooking can break down the starch structure slightly, which may marginally increase the GI. For cold soba dishes, rinse immediately under cold water after draining to stop the cooking process. For hot dishes, drain and add directly to your broth or sauce.

4. What is the difference between "semi-dry" and regular dry or fresh noodles?

Our semi-dry process is a technological advantage. Fully dry noodles can be brittle and take longer to cook. Fresh noodles have a very short shelf life and require refrigeration. Our semi-dry noodles have a moisture content between fresh and dry. This gives them a superior, more "fresh-like" texture and a much faster cooking time than dry noodles, while our pasteurization process provides a long shelf life of 12 months at room temperature without preservatives.

5. Are there any artificial additives or preservatives?

Absolutely not. Our Low GI70 soba is a clean-label product. The ingredient list is simple: Premium Buckwheat Flour, Whole Wheat Flour, Resistant Starch, Purified Water, and Sea Salt. The extended shelf life is achieved through our advanced semi-drying and thermal pasteurization process, not through the use of chemical preservatives.

6. What are your quality and safety certifications?

Our manufacturing facility operates under the strictest international standards. We are certified for ISO 22000 (a comprehensive food safety management system) and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points). Our facility is also registered with the U.S. FDA. These certifications demonstrate our unwavering commitment to producing safe, high-quality food products and ensure full traceability from raw material to finished product.

7. What is your delivery timeline and quality guarantee?
