Traditional semidry noodle processing relied on adding preservatives to extend shelf life,but this method affected its taste and appearance color.High enthalpy sterilization,as physical sterilization technology,had advantages of efficient sterilization,nutrient re-tention,pollution-free and extended shelf life,and was gradually being applied in semidry noodle processing.Principle and character-istics of high enthalpy sterilization process for semidry noodles were introduced.High enthalpy sterilization process was optimized.High enthalpy sterilization equipment of semidry noodles was designed.Problems were pointed out and development sugges-tions were proposed.It provided reference for subsequent research and development of high enthalpy sterilization technology and equip-ment for semidry noodles.
