Abstract:
Provided at low cost are: an instant processed meat product having extremely excellent reconstitution properties in hot water; and a method for producing the instant processed meat product having excellent production efficiency. Disclosed are: a fried and dried instant processed meat product containing pregelatinized starch; and a method for producing the fried and dried instant processed meat product. The method includes: preparing a material for the instant processed meat product, pregelatinized starch, and water; kneading the material for the instant processed meat product, the pregelatinized starch, and the water to obtain a kneaded product; shaping the kneaded product; and frying and drying the shaped kneaded product to obtain a fried and dried product.
Abstract:
A method for making an expanded snack piece using supercritical fluid extrusion is disclosed. A mixture of shear thinning starch and heat-sensitive ingredients are input into an extruder, hydrated, and mixed with supercritical fluid. The extrudate can be subjected to further processing to set or alter its structure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of fractioning natural raw materials and separating nutritive substances from the formed fractions, in which method the raw material is dried at a temperature of -40-50 °C and ground lightly so that the seeds of the raw material separate from the fruit flesh and skin portion without breaking, after which the seeds are separated from the dried and ground raw material and a second light grinding is carried out on the formed seedless fruit flesh and skin fraction so that the nutritive substances therein are not damaged, whereby a powder is provided, which is screened or classified, whereby the nutrient-rich skin powder fraction can be separated from the other fractions. The invention also relates to the skin fraction formed from the berry raw material.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for microwave vacuum-drying of organic materials, such as food products. The apparatus has a microwave vacuum chamber 20, a loading module 36 to load containers 38 of the organic material into the vacuum chamber, a rotatable cylindrical cage 64 in the vacuum chamber for rotating the containers, a piston 114 for moving the rotating containers through the vacuum chamber, and means for unloading the containers of dehydrated material from the vacuum chamber. The apparatus may include an equilibration chamber 150 for cooling the dehydrated material under reduced pressure, and a transfer module 42 to transfer the containers from the vacuum chamber to the equilibration chamber. The apparatus has a microwave transparent window 54 for transmission of radiation into the vacuum chamber, and a gas jet 58, 60, 62 for blowing a stream of gas, such as air or nitrogen, into the vacuum chamber adjacent to the window.
