Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of apple crisp processing. More specifically, the invention relates to a preparation method of chocolate apple crisps.
Background
The apple is sour, sweet, tasty and crisp in taste and rich in nutrition, is rich in organic acid, vitamins, dietary fibers, trace elements such as Zn and Fe and various physiological active substances such as phenols and flavonoids, and has the effects of reducing cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, relieving fatigue, delaying senescence and the like. Although China is the biggest apple producing country in the world and has sufficient raw material supply, more than 90 percent of apples are used as fresh food, and the processing amount is less than 10 percent. In recent years, with the rapid development of the industry of Chinese leisure food, apple crisp chips are popular among consumers due to the characteristics of being convenient and instant, green and healthy, rich in nutrition and the like. The development of apple products and the research of processing technology are enhanced, and the development of new diversified apple food which is convenient and fast in nutrition and accords with the rhythm of modern life is a necessary choice for promoting the sustainable and healthy development of the apple industry.
Chocolate, also known as chocolate, is a sweet food made from cocoa products (cocoa butter, cocoa liquor or cocoa powder) and white granulated sugar/sweetener as main raw materials. Because of the smooth taste and the special fragrance, the oil is deeply favored by wide consumption. The chocolate coating product can reduce energy intake while meeting the preference of consumers for chocolate, and can also endow other food materials with good flavor and unique product appearance.
The apple-chocolate coating product is prepared by immersing diced apples/strips/slices/rings with crisp characteristics into chocolate liquid with certain fluidity or uniformly coating liquid chocolate slurry on the crisp surfaces of apples by adopting a spraying mode. Because the chocolate used for the coating needs to have certain heat to be in a flowing state, the inner apple crisps are required to have a harder surface layer to prevent the chocolate from soaking into the apple crisps, and meanwhile, the inner parts of the apple crisps are required to have good crispness to ensure the layering sense and good mouthfeel of the whole sample. The fruit crispness in the current chocolate-fruit coating product can ensure the crispness, porosity and good crispness of the internal tissue, but the structure of the surface layer is basically consistent with that of the internal tissue, so that the chocolate is immersed in the tissue, the layering of a sample is influenced, the fruit crispness is softened to a certain extent, and the overall taste of the product is greatly reduced.
The steam explosion technology is a new physical modification technology, and is mainly characterized by that the material is placed in a high-temperature and high-pressure closed container-steam explosion machine, the raw material is swelled by superheated steam (180-235 deg.C), the steam is permeated into the interior of plant tissue, and when the high pressure is instantaneously relieved (within 0.00875 s), the internal and external pressure difference can make the high-temperature liquid in the gap of raw material quickly vaporize and expand, so that the cell can be "exploded". Moisture in the sample rapidly expands and overflows to generate huge shearing force; during the pressure release process, mechanical forces cause fiber breakage and cellulose and hemicellulose degradation. At present, the steam explosion technology is used as a processing pretreatment technology in the field of foods, and is used for the aspects of auxiliary functional component extraction, product structure optimization, macromolecule modification and the like; is rarely used for processing fruits and vegetables.

In table 1, comparative example 1 adopts a vacuum freeze-drying method to obtain apple crisp, comparative example 2 adopts a hot air drying method to obtain apple crisp, comparative example 3 adopts a low-temperature pre-drying-steam explosion-high-temperature drying process to obtain apple crisp, comparative examples 4 to 7 all adopt a high-temperature pre-drying-steam explosion-low-temperature low-speed drying process, but the temperature of steam explosion in comparative example 4 is higher than 220 ℃, the temperature of steam explosion in comparative example 5 is lower than 180 ℃, the pressure of steam explosion in comparative example 6 is higher than 2.0MPa, and the pressure of steam explosion in comparative example 7 is lower than 1.0MPa. As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the chocolate obtained in comparative examples 1 and 2 does not adopt a steam explosion method, the hardness of the apple crispness of the chocolate obtained in comparative example 1 is insufficient, the chocolate obtained in comparative example 2 is too hard and has insufficient crispness, and meanwhile, the appearance of the apple crispness of the chocolate obtained in comparative example 1 is broken, and the appearance of the apple crispness of the chocolate obtained in comparative example 2 is shriveled; comparative example 3 the process was changed, the resulting chocolate had insufficient firmness and crispness, and the appearance of the resulting chocolate with apple crispness was wrinkled; comparative examples 4 to 7 adopt the same technical process as the present application, but the parameters of the steam explosion process are not controlled accurately, and the chocolate apple crisp appearance is broken and has obvious burnt feeling by adopting higher temperature in the steam explosion process in the comparative example 4; in the comparative example 5, the lower temperature is adopted in the steam explosion process, the hardness and the brittleness of the obtained chocolate apple crispness are not enough, and the appearance of the obtained chocolate apple crispness is obviously wrinkled; in the comparative example 6, the higher explosion pressure is adopted in the steam explosion process, and the appearance of the obtained chocolate apple crispness is obviously broken; in comparative example 7, the lower explosion pressure was used during the steam explosion, and the resulting chocolate apple crisps were not sufficiently hard and brittle, and had a significantly shriveled appearance. Meanwhile, the influence of the steam explosion time on the quality of the chocolate apple crisp product is also considered, and the chocolate apple crisp appearance obtained by steam explosion for a long time is obviously broken; the chocolate obtained by steam explosion for a short time has insufficient crispness and appearance breakage. In conclusion, high-temperature high-speed pre-drying is carried out before steam explosion, which is beneficial to the formation of shells on the surfaces of the apples, the surface layer is slightly softened but still keeps certain hardness by means of the heat of the chocolate coating, so that the chocolate coating is ensured to permeate into the apples, rich mouthfeel is not lost, and the pressure, temperature and time parameters of the steam explosion are strictly controlled, so that the apples are prevented from being cracked; after steam explosion, a low-temperature low-speed drying means is adopted, so that the apple crispness and shrinkage can be prevented, and therefore, the prepared chocolate apple crispness series products have the characteristics of rich taste levels and prominent crispness.
