Abstract: A disclosed method addresses the problem of providing a method for producing dried pasta the texture of which when cooked, cold or frozen stored, and reheated by, for example, microwaving to be made eatable is comparable to that immediately after cooking. The method includes a step of preparing dough from a raw powder containing wheat flour having a protein content of 8 to 18 mass %, a step of extruding the dough under a vacuum pressure of 0 to ?65 kPa at an extrusion pressure of 60 to 160 kgf/cm2 to form pasta, and a step of drying the pasta. The method also includes the step of adjusting the gluten vitality of the extruded pasta to 10 to 30%. The gluten vitality adjustment step may double as the drying step.

Abstract: A packaging bag for packaging a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin that contains a modified group having active hydrogen, the packaging bag including a film having a water vapor permeability of 10 g/m2/day or less. Accordingly, when a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin that contains a modified group having active hydrogen is packaged with the packaging bag, the storage stability of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin that contains a modified group having active hydrogen can be improved, and hence an aqueous solution of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin that contains a modified group having active hydrogen, the solution being reduced in insoluble matter content, can be obtained even after long-term storage thereof.
