1. THE DIAGRAM SHOWS HOW NOODLES ARE MANUFACTURED.
SUMMARISE THE INFORMATION BY SELECTION AND REPORTING THE MAIN FEATURES AND MAKE COMPARISONS WHERE RELEVANT.
The process flow diagram reveals eight meticulous steps involved in the production of instant noodles commercially, through stages of transportation, processing and finishing.
Overall, it is evident that the process of making instant noodles in a factory starts by mixing ingredients and shaping them through special machines and finally packaging and labeling the product into sealed packs.
To begin with, raw material of flour is shifted from storage silos to processing plant via commercial trucks. In a mixer, flour is mixed with water and oil to make dough which is converted into sheets with the help of rollers and later reshaped into dough strips. In the following step, noodle discs undergo heat treatment after addition of cooking oil. The last segment of the process includes adding vegetables and spices mix to the cups along with the dry noodles. The ready packs are then labelled appropriately and sealed to dispatch the final product for sale.

Reflecting the greatest disparity, fats intake was half, while sodium intake was one-third of the of the sugar consumption in case of snacks in breakfast.
