摘要:
The present invention relates to a container (21) packed with instant food to be cooked by a microwave oven which allows a solid instant food (24) such as instant chow mein and instant macaroni to be reconstituted to its original cooked state with good texture in a short period of time when the food is cooked in a microwave oven without the need to drain water after it is cooked. The container packed with instant food comprises: a container (21) composed of a container body (23) and a lid (23) which is capable of tightly or substantially tightly sealing said container (21); and a solid instant food (24) accomodated in said container (21), together with a second container (25) which contains a specific amount of water, wherein said food (24) is to be reconstituted and made ready for eating on absorbing water from said second container (25) when said container (21) packed with said food (24) is heated in a microwave oven after water is added thereto in an amount equivalent to between 100 and 150 wt% of the water absorption capacity of said food (24).

A method for producing banana chips which retain the inherent taste of fresh banana, have excellent appearance without quality repairment due to drying and without any browning. Thie method comprises the steps of (a) cutting bananas into small pieces; (b) subjecting the pieces of bananas to a temperature conditioning treatment; (c) expanding the temperature conditioned pieces of bananas by quickly reducing the pressure from normal pressure to a prescibed reduced pressure; and (d) heating the expanded pieces of bananas under a reduced pressure; the time elapsed from the cutting step (a) to the completion of reduction of the pressure in the step (c) being not more than 20 minutes.

The present invention relates to a method of reducing an off-flavor in foods containing medium chain aldehydes characterized in that said foods are brought into contact with acetic acid bacteria or immobilized acetic acid bacteria (Acetobacter aceti, Gluconobacter suboxydans) in a state that said acetic acid bacteria substantially do not proliferate, and a method of reducing an off-flavor in foods containing alcohol and medium chain aldehydes characterized in that said foods are brought into contact with acetic acid bacteria of which membrane-bound alcohol dehydrogenase has been deactivated.

A method for producing fruit chips comprises the steps of: (a) heating a peach or a melon in syrup having a Brix degree ranging from 12 to 30; (b) cutting the heated peach or melon into small pieces; (c) subjecting the pieces to a temperature conditioning treatment; (d) expanding the pieces subjected to the temperature conditioning treatment; and (e) heating the expanded pieces under a reduced pressure. This method makes it possible to provide chips of peach or melon which retain their inherent fresh taste and have excellent appearance without quality impairment to drying. Moreover, the chips are properly expanded and are crisp.

The present invention relates to a container (1) packed with instant food to be cooked by a microwave oven which allows a solid instant food (4) such as instant chow mein and instant macaroni to be reconstituted to its original cooked state with good texture in a short period of time when the food is cooked in a microwave oven without the need to drain water after it is cooked. The container packed with instant food comprises: a container (1) composed of a container body (2) and a lid (3) which is capable of tightly or substantially tightly sealing said container (1); and a solid instant food (4) accomodated in said container (1), wherein said food (4) is to be reconstituted and made ready for eating on absorbing water when said container (1) packed with said food (4) is heated in a microwave oven after water is added thereto in an amount equivalent to between 100 and 155 wt% of the water absorption capacity of said food (4).
摘要:
A process for sterilizing an aqueous medium containing microorganisms by applying a discharge of high-voltage electric pulses onto the surface of the medium. The medium may optionally contain buffer sufficient enough to maintain the pH of the aqueous medium within the range of from 5 to 9 after the application of the discharge of electric pulses. The process may further contain a period of discontinuing the application of the discharge, during which ultrasonic irradiation may optionally be applied. The aqueous medium containing microorganisms such as E. coli or sporulating bacteria can be effectively and economically sterilized by the disclosed process.

摘要:
A novel method for improving the quality of wheat flour, wherein the novelty resides in bringing the wheat flour into contact with a non-equilibrium plasma. The dough prepared from the wheat flour processed by this method exhibits an improved visco-elasticity, and the starch in this wheat flour shows a greater water holding capacity. Appearance and texture of the secondary products from this wheat are also improved remarkably.
