摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing food products to prepare the food product for packaging. The methods involve pre-steaming, pre-washing, steeping, steam cooking and then drying the food products. Chemical additives may be added to the food products during processing. The apparatus further includes a conveying means (38), steeping tanks (27), and a water re-circulation means (30). A dryer (32) including a rotating barrel adapted for agitation of the food products during cooking is present.

A flour milling method and a flour milling system are provided, in which a plurality of milling steps (4,5, 6,7, 8,9) whose milling degrees are different from one another are performed sequentially from an upperstream to a downstream, each of the milling steps including a breaking step (4,6,8) and a grading step (5,7,9). The steps are carried out by sorting (3;18) the raw wheat grains into regular wheat grains and material other than the regular wheat grains, forwarding (90) the sorted regular wheat grains to the uppermost-stream milling step, and forwarding (13) the sorted material other than the regular wheat grains to at least one of downstream milling steps at a downstream of the uppermost-stream milling step. The method and the system enable the production of wheat flour of better quality with better yield than that conventionally produced.
摘要:
A method for measuring ash content of food stuff is carried out by 1) preparing, with respect to food stuff samples whose ash content values are known, a calibration curve by a non-linear analysis of absorbance values and the known ash content of each sample, the absorbance values being obtained by irradiating light having particular wavelengths containing at least an ultraviolet ray band wavelength, the particular wavelength being specific to organic ingredients well coupled to inorganic ingredients which result in the ash content, and 2) deriving, with respect to a sample whose ash content value is unknown, an ash content value of the sample from absorbance values obtained by irradiating, on the sample, light having the particular wavelengths containing at least the ultraviolet ray band wavelength and from the calibration curve prepared in advance by the non-linear analysis. An apparatus for carrying out the method includes a light source section (81), a photo detecting section (88), a storing section (76) for storing the calibration curve, and a calculation section (77) for calculating, with respect to a sample whose ash content value is unknown, the ash content value based on the absorbance values and the calibration curve stored in the storing section. It is possible to speed up the measuring operation and to improve the measuring precision.
