No. Illegal ramen agents have potential health risks.
Traditionally, ramen noodles are made by using natural ash to improve the organization of the dough and to increase the gluten and elasticity of the dough, thus increasing the texture of the noodles. However, since natural ash is difficult to standardize, it is rarely used. Instead, the market is dominated by instant ash, or ramen noodles.
Pulling agent is based on natural ash composition using food-grade sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, phosphate compound products, is a compound additives, is not a national ban on the scope of the pulling agent can be used additives, but so far there is no pulling agent of the corresponding national standards.

Precautions:
Harmonization is the basis of the ramen noodle agent production. The foundation is the key. The first thing to pay attention to is the temperature of the water, which requires warm water in winter and cool water in other seasons. Through the different temperature of the water used in mixing, the temperature of the dough is always kept at 30°C. At this time, the water absorption of protein in the flour is high, which can reach 100%, and the production rate of gluten is also high and the quality is good, i.e., the elongation and elasticity are good, which is the most suitable for stretching.
The issue of food additives has always been an important part of food safety, our country in recent years, there are many cases of food additives, such as industrial gel added to the jelly within the incident. And many manufacturers in the production of food, for the control of the amount of additives do not have a good grasp. Excessive, abusive situations occur frequently, ultimately resulting in a variety of consumer distrust of additives.
