TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing a transparent tomato juice from tomato, and more particularly, to a method for producing a transparent tomato juice by heating and separating the pulp and the juice of the tomato and filtering the same with a filter paper. About the method.

[Prior art]
[Patent Document] JP-A-2002-300866
BACKGROUND ART In recent years, health drinks based on vegetables have become popular with the health boom. In the past, at home, a favorite vegetable was mixed with a juicer or the like in the form of a juice, or juice was made using only a single vegetable. However, recently, many people do not have a juicer at home, and an increasing number of people purchase vegetable juices in plastic bottles, and are popular because they can easily enter health-conscious foods. Tomato juice is one of the standard vegetable juices that are cheap and available everywhere.
Generally, tomato juice is crushed and drunk as it is. In other words, since raw tomatoes were simply crushed, there was a strong viscous and mushy feeling over the throat, and many people could not like this feeling and could not drink tomato juice.
[0004]
Health-conscious consumers who are particular about 100% fruit juice without additives can sacrificing ease of drinking, but when pursuing throat and easy-to-drink, it is incompatible with health-oriented. I understand that it is good for health, but I hate tomato juice because it is hard to drink.
Therefore, development of an easy-to-drink tomato juice that has a feeling of passing through the throat that is not much different from that of ordinary juice and that differs from the dark color of conventional tomatoes has been awaited.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the method for producing transparent tomato juice of the present invention comprises heating the fruit juice collected by overheating, filtering the fruit juice with a filtration device such as filter paper, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing transparent tomato juice that is not different from juice.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a method for producing transparent tomato juice according to the present invention is a method for producing tomato juice from tomato nuts, comprising: Take the buckle of the tomato and pulverize the tomato pulp by putting it in a mixer, and put the crushed tomato obtained by crushing in the crushing step into a pot and heat while mixing to separate it into pulp and juice And a filtering and collecting step of filtering the fruit juice separated in the heating and separating step with a fine filter paper and taking the filtered juice into a container.
Further, the filtering and collecting step is configured to include rapidly cooling the fruit juice filtered and taken into the container.
[0007]
[Action]
In the method for producing a transparent tomato juice according to the present invention, raw tomatoes are crushed, heated in a pot to separate the pulp from the pulp, and only the pulp is filtered out of the pulp. It is possible to provide a transparent and easy-to-drink tomato juice that has a good texture over the throat and is unprecedented.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a method for producing a transparent tomato juice according to the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the production steps of the method for producing transparent tomato juice of the present invention.
The method 10 for producing transparent tomato juice of the present invention comprises a washing management step 20, a crushing step 30, a heat separation step 40, and a filtration and collection step 50.
[0009]
The washing management step 20 is a step of washing the tomato and then draining the tomato. If you can clean the tomatoes cleanly, you can do it by hand or machine. It is desirable to wash without using a detergent. In addition, the fruit after washing is configured to wipe off moisture one by one, but a method in which the fruit is dried and dried may be used.
[0010]
The pulverizing step 30 is a step of picking up the tomatoes of the tomato and crushing and pulverizing the tomato with a stirring pulverizer such as a mixer. The tomato horns have a small amount of juice and are hard, so even if crushed as they are, the hard parts remain. Therefore, it is desirable to remove the horns in advance and pulverize with a mixer or the like. It is desirable to grind the tomatoes as finely as possible for the sake of squeezing the juice, but if the tomatoes are ground to some extent, the next step may be performed.
[0011]
The heat separation step 40 is a step in which the tomato crushed in the crushing step 30 is placed in a heating vessel such as a pot and heated. The finely crushed tomato is transferred to an enamel pan or the like and heated over a fire. At this time, it is desirable to heat the tomatoes while mixing them so as not to burn due to overheating. By heating, the pulp and juice of the tomato separate. After some separation, proceed to the next step.
[0012]
The filtration step 50 is a step of filtering and extracting only tomato juice from the pulp and juice separated in the heat separation step 40. The filtration method uses a filter paper with fine eyes, and performs filtration by passing fruit juice through the filter paper. At this time, it is desirable to keep the pulp from entering as much as possible. In addition, it is better to avoid the method of holding the filter paper from above and filtering it because it may cause the flesh to be mixed or heterogeneous. Pressing down and filtering can result in tiny pulp entering the juice, resulting in opaque tomato juice with a poor throat feeling.
By allowing the filter paper to pass through naturally, transparent tomato juice can be produced.
[0013]
The tomato juice collected while being filtered in the filtering and collecting step 50 can be stored for a long time by cooling immediately. After being collected, it may be provided as it is as transparent tomato juice. When a large amount of tomato juice is produced from a large amount of tomatoes harvested during the cultivation season, it is desirable to immediately cool and store it.
[0014]
The method for producing transparent tomato juice of the present invention can produce juice from blue tomatoes or red ripe tomatoes, but other fruits can produce juice by the same production method. It becomes. Also, in the conventional tomato juice, the stuffy throat feeling was normal, but the tomato juice made by the manufacturing method of the present invention is transparent, and the throat feeling is not much different from ordinary soft drink Therefore, transparent tomato juice that is easy to drink can be manufactured.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
As described in detail above, since the method for producing a transparent tomato juice according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, the following effects are obtained.
1. It consists of a simple manufacturing process consisting of a washing control process, a crushing process, a heat separation process, and a filtration and collection process.Since it is a simple manufacturing process, it has the same throat feeling as ordinary soft drinks because it is filtered through filter paper. It is possible to produce transparent tomato juice easily and at low cost.
2. Cooling the collected tomato juice immediately enables long-term storage.
