Description

  The present invention relates to a confectionery using a banana and a method for producing the same.

  Bananas are often used as ingredients for Western confectionery because of their good taste and flavor and excellent nutritional balance. For example, it is often used as an ingredient for parfait or crepe, or crushed and kneaded with cream to be used for confectionery as a banana cream.

  As a confectionery that uses a lot of bananas, there is a “banana-wrapped confectionery” in which a whole peeled banana is wrapped in sponge cake with whipped cream. Such banana-wrapped confectionery is shipped and distributed with its surroundings wrapped around with a transparent wrap to protect the surface.

  Peeled bananas are easy to darken and their quality tends to deteriorate, so they must be refrigerated at 10 ° C or below for distribution and sale. Blackening may be prevented by applying a special anti-aging agent to the banana surface.

  Sponge cakes, creams, and banana pulp are soft and easily deformed when subjected to external force. When deformed, the cream inside the sponge cake or crushed bananas may come out from the gaps or crevices in the sponge cake. In such a state, the value of the product is lost, so care must be taken in distribution and sales. Customers who purchase must also carry it with care so that the banana-wrapped confectionery does not deform or collapse. For this reason, it was not possible to easily put it in the basket as it was, and it was necessary to carry it in a box or case that protects confectionery.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a banana confectionery that does not deteriorate the original appearance of the banana, is hardly deteriorated in quality, is easy to carry, and can express various tastes.

  The banana confectionery according to claim 1 has at least one hole (3) opened from the end or the vicinity of the end of the banana (1) with a skin to the inside, the hole (3) Is filled with a material (4), and the opening of the hole (3) is sealed by a sealing member (5).

  According to this, it can be set as the confectionery which filled ingredients (4), such as cream and a paste, in the banana (1), without peeling the peel (1a) of a banana (1). Since the surface is protected by the original banana peel (1a), the quality is unlikely to deteriorate and it is easy to carry. Further, the taste can be changed by changing the ingredients (4) filled in the interior. The appearance is almost the same as an ordinary banana, so if you give it without knowing that it is a confectionery, you can surprise those who ate it.

  The banana confection according to claim 2 is the banana confection according to claim 1, wherein the opening (1e) of the hole (3) is provided at the tip (1d) of the banana.

  According to this, since the opening (1e) of the hole (3) is provided in the black and hard part (1d) of the banana tip, the opening (1e) is not conspicuous, and it can be distinguished from a normal banana at first glance. Not stick. In addition, the strength around the opening (1e) is easily obtained. Further, since the hole (3) is opened straight from the tip, the hole (3) can be formed along the central axis of the banana (1).

  The banana confectionery (11) according to claim 3 is a banana confectionery according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein a part or all of the bananas constituting the bunches of the banana bunches in which a plurality of bananas are connected. It is characterized by.

  According to this, the whole banana bunch (11) having a plurality of bananas can be made into a confectionery. This makes it easier to carry. Moreover, if a different material (14) is filled for each banana constituting the bunch (11), various tastes can be enjoyed. In addition, you can enjoy the unexpectedness that bananas are confections in a bunch.

  The manufacturing method of the banana confectionery according to claim 4, wherein the pipe (2) is inserted into the banana (1) from one end portion or the vicinity of the end portion without peeling off the banana peel (1a). After inserting 2) to an arbitrary depth, the inside of the pipe is sucked under reduced pressure to separate the banana pulp that has entered the pipe (2) from the banana pulp located outside the pipe (2). By removing the pipe (2) from the banana (1), the banana (1) is provided with a hole (3), and after filling the material (4) from the opening of the hole (3), the opening is opened. It is characterized by sealing with a sealing member (5).

  According to this, the pipe (2) can be inserted from the end portion that is not conspicuous on the banana (1) that is not peeled off. The banana pulp that has entered the pipe (2) can be separated from the surrounding pulp by sucking the pipe (2) under reduced pressure after insertion. Thereafter, by pulling the pipe (2) out of the banana (1), the hole (3) can be provided at the place where the pipe (2) has been inserted. Fill the hole (3) by injecting ingredients (4) such as cream or paste, and seal the opening of the hole (3) with the sealing member (4). It can be a banana confectionery having the material (4).

  The method for producing a banana confection according to claim 5 is characterized in that, in the production method according to claim 4, the pipe (2) has a curve close to the shape of the banana (1).

  According to this, since the shape of the pipe (2) is close to the shape of the banana (1), the hole (3) can be provided along the central axis of the banana (1). Therefore, the ingredient (4) can be arranged near the center of the banana (1). Since the manner of bending of the banana (1) is not constant, it is preferable to prepare a plurality of types of pipes (2) having a shape that can accommodate them.

  The manufacturing method of the banana confectionery according to claim 6 is the manufacturing method of claim 4 or claim 5, wherein the banana tip (1d) is cut out first to provide an opening (1e), and then from the opening (1e).

  The present invention will be described below with reference to preferred embodiments.

  Prepare a banana. The banana to be used may be a normal banana, but it is desirable that the banana is not too ripe because of its strength. A hole is provided in this banana using a pipe. FIG. 1 is a view showing a banana (1) and a pipe (2) for making a hole in the banana (1).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pipe (2) is inserted from the vicinity of the end of the banana (1). In this example, the skin around the axis (1c) of the banana was penetrated and inserted. The pipe (2) may be inserted while twisting left and right in small increments. When inserting, it is desirable that the pipe (2) pass as close as possible to the central axis of the banana (1). As it is inserted, the banana pulp enters the pipe (2).

  As the material of the pipe (2), stainless steel is used in this embodiment, but it is not particularly limited. For example, other metals may be used and those made of ceramics or synthetic resins may be used. However, since it is inserted into the banana (1), which is a food, it is necessary to have sufficient strength so that it will not break and leave debris in the banana (1).

  The shape of the banana (1) is not constant, and some of them are almost straight, while others are greatly curved. For this reason, it is advisable to prepare a plurality of types of pipes having different curvatures so that they can correspond to various shapes of bananas (1) and use them in accordance with the shape of the bananas. The cross-sectional shape of the pipe is generally a circle or an ellipse, but a pipe having a square or star cross-section may be used.

  When the pipe (2) is inserted, the tip of the pipe (2) enters while cutting the peel (1a) and the pulp (1b) of the banana (1). For this reason, it is desirable to form the tip portion thinly within a range in which sufficient strength can be secured. The tip of the pipe may be simply cut off, but the tip may be wavy, bamboo basket-shaped, or saw-toothed so that it can be easily cut. FIG. 3 shows a pipe (20) having a tip end portion (20a) in a bamboo basket shape, where (A) is a side view and (B) is a plan view. FIG. 4 shows a pipe (21) having a serrated tip (21a).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the insertion of the pipe (2) is stopped when the pipe (2) has been inserted to an appropriate position. If the pipe (2) is inserted too much, it is not preferable because the pipe (2) comes out through the banana (1) skin from the opposite side of the insertion. Therefore, it is preferable to check the length of the banana (1) in advance and to what extent the pipe (2) should be inserted. FIG. 6 shows the state inside the banana (1) when the pipe (2) is inserted. In the figure, (1a) is the peel of banana (1), and (1b) is the pulp part of banana (1).

  If the pipe (2) can be inserted to an appropriate position in the banana (1), the pipe (2) is then pulled out. At that time, the pipe (2) is first lightly decompressed and sucked from the opposite end of the pipe (2) with a pump or the like. Thereby, the connection of the banana inside and outside the pipe (2) is cut in the vicinity of the tip of the pipe (2). The banana pulp inside the pipe (2) is not connected to the outside pulp of the pipe (2), so when the pipe (2) is pulled out, the banana pulp inside the pipe (2) is pipe ( It will be pulled out of the banana (1) together with 2). The suction in the pipe (2) may be performed only at the initial stage of pulling out the pipe (2).

  When the pipe (2) is pulled out from the banana (1), a hole (3) is formed at the place where the pipe (2) was inserted as shown in FIG.

  Next, the material (4) is filled in the hole (3) made in the banana (1). As the ingredient (4), various creams, pastes, jams, honey and the like can be used. Unique ingredients can include curry, meat sauce, cream stew, ketchup, mayonnaise, Southern island dressing, boiled seaweed, kneaded wasabi, miso, etc.

  Moreover, the filling material (4) does not need to be one kind, and two or more kinds of ingredients (4) may be filled in order. For example, chocolate cream may be filled in the first half and matcha cream filled in the second half.

  Further, finely broken jelly, agar, mizuyokan, fruit, corn flakes, nuts, granular chocolate, matcha, kinako powder, cinnamon powder, etc. may be filled. The opening of the hole (3) is sealed by a sealing member in a later step, but liquids such as alcoholic beverages, juice, and milk may ooze out from the gap in the sealing. For this reason, if the ingredients you want to put are low in viscosity, such as liquids, it is better to make them “thick” with gelatin, kataguri, kuzu, etc.

  FIG. 8 is a view for explaining a state in which the ingredient (4) is injected into the hole (3). When filling the ingredients (4), for the cream and paste, use an injection tool (10) with a thin tip such as a syringe, squeezer, tube, etc. It is easy to work if it is inserted into the hole (3) and press-fitted.

  In addition, the pipe (2) extracted from the banana (1) contains banana pulp, but the pipe (2) can be further sucked with a pump, or conversely pressed with a pump or pushed out with a stick. It can be removed from within. The banana flesh contained in the pipe (2) is not wasted if it is used as a material for parfait or banana cream except for the skin.

  After filling the hole (3) with ingredients (4) such as cream and paste, the opening of the hole (3) is sealed as shown in FIG. In this example, sealing was performed using a seal (5) having an adhesive portion on the back surface as a sealing member as shown in FIG. As the adhesive applied to the seal adhesive part, an edible adhesive was used so that there was no problem even if it entered the mouth. On the surface of the seal (5), the type of the material (4) filled in the hole (3), the producer, the expiration date, etc. can be printed. Further, if the color of the seal (5) is yellow like the peel (1a) of the banana (1), it becomes inconspicuous, and an appearance closer to that of a normal banana can be obtained.

  The sealing member may be a plug instead of the seal (5). The plug may be cork or the like, but cookies, chocolate, etc. molded into a plug shape can also be used.

  In the case of a conventional banana-wrapped confectionery, the surface had to be wrapped with a synthetic resin film or the like after production, but the surface of the banana confectionery of this example was covered with the original banana peel (1a). Therefore, wrapping that covers the surface separately is not essential.

  In addition, when the peel (1a) is peeled off, the banana (1a) is darkened due to oxidation or the like, and the quality is likely to deteriorate. Hard to do. Furthermore, since it is protected by a banana peel (1a) having a certain degree of strength not only at the time of delivery and sale, but also when it is carried after purchase, it is difficult to be deformed or altered and is easy to carry. For example, it is easy to carry it as it is in the pocket of a bag or jacket after purchase.

  When eating, just peel off the skin (1a) just like a normal banana. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a state of eating the banana confectionery of this example. The filling material (4) is visible near the center of the cross section of the pulp (1b). The banana confectionery of this example looks like a normal banana before eating, so if you let an acquaintance eat it without notifying you that it is a confectionery, you will be surprised visually and tastefully due to the presence of unexpected ingredients (4) You can also.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the present embodiment. In Example 1, one hole (3) was provided in one banana (1) and filled with ingredients, but in this example, two holes (3a) and (3b) were provided. Example 2 is the same as Example 1 except that two holes are provided in the pipe (2).

A pipe having a smaller diameter than that of Example 1 was used because of the two holes. The materials (4a) and (4b) filled in the two holes (3a) and (3b) may be the same, but it is more fun if they are different. For example, one hole (3a) may be filled with green tea cream as an ingredient (4a), and the other hole (3b) may be filled with “kinako” as an ingredient (4b). If necessary, it is possible to have three or more holes.

  Examples 1 and 2 are confectionery using one banana (1) at a time. In contrast, in this example, a confection made of a plurality of bananas was used using a banana with a plurality of bunches in a bunch. Processing for each banana is the same as in Example 1. Since a bunch of bananas (11) consisting of a plurality of pieces can be configured as one product, sales, distribution and storage are facilitated. In addition, it is surprising that bananas are made into confectionery in a bunch.

  The same type of ingredients (14) may be filled in all the banana holes (13) that make up the bunches (11), but if they are filled with multiple types of creams and pastes of taste, they will differ from one to the other. You can enjoy the taste. Of course, one or a plurality of ordinary bananas without holes (13) and ingredients (14) may be left without being processed in the tuft (11).

  When using multiple ingredients (14), the sealing stickers can be recognized from outside such as “chocolate”, “coffee jelly”, “honey”, “kinako” The contents of the ingredients may be displayed. In addition, there is a pleasure that the content of each ingredient (14) is not displayed so as not to know what kind of ingredient (14) is contained. In that case, the person who eats doesn't know what the taste is before eating, so it can be eaten with excitement like a game. In order to enhance the game, it is possible to have one person enjoy it as a unique flavor ingredient while enjoying it by multiple people.

  In Example 1, the hole (3) was opened from the vicinity of the shaft (1c), but in this example, the hole was formed from the tip of the banana (1) (the end opposite to the shaft (1) connected to the tuft) (1d). (3) is different. The tip (1d) of the banana (1) is a black and hard part. This portion has a sufficient strength and is not only inconspicuous even if a hole is made, but also has an advantage that the hole (3) can be opened from the end of the banana (1) along the center of the banana (1).

  First, as shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, the perforated pipe (30) is pierced and removed from the black part (1d) at the tip. This pipe (30) may be the same as the pipe (2) used for hollowing out the banana pulp (1b), but the tip (1d) of the banana (1) is the banana peel (1a) or Since it is harder than the pulp (1b), another pipe having higher strength and sharpness may be used. Further, instead of a pipe, a knife having a thin tip such as a cutting knife or a design knife may be inserted and punched out.

  The length of the hollowed pipe (30) is made smaller than the black part (1d) at the tip of the banana so that the hole fits inside the black part (1d). This is because if it is cut to the outside of the black part, it becomes difficult to seal the subsequent process, and the banana peel (1a) is easily turned from the cut part.

  Next, a hole is made by removing the pulp of the banana by inserting and pulling out the pipe from the hollowed out portion. Then, as shown in FIG. 16, the opening (1e) of the hole (3) is formed at the black tip (1d). In the present embodiment, the hollowed tip portion (1f) is used as a sealing member in a later process, so it is removed from the pipe (30) with a toothpick etc. and is not discarded. The step of filling the holes (3) with ingredients (4) such as cream is the same as in Example 1.

  For sealing, in this example, the banana tip (1f) that was hollowed out first was used instead of the seal. As shown in FIG. 17, the tip end portion (1f) of the banana is fitted into the opening portion (1e) as it was. And as shown in FIG. 18, the circumference | surroundings were hardened with the hot-melt-adhesive (40) using the glue gun (41). Adhesion is easy with a hot melt adhesive (40), but the joined portion may be hardened using a melted wax or the like. Of course, other members than the tip portion (1f) of the banana may be used as the sealing member. For example, a cork stopper or the like may be inserted, or sealing may be performed by covering a member such as a cap.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining the inside of the present embodiment. In the banana confectionery of this example manufactured in this way, the injection port of the ingredient (4) is a black part at the tip of the banana, and the sealing part is not conspicuous. In particular, if the black part (1f) that originally existed in the place is used as a sealing member, it is difficult to distinguish from a normal banana. You can hide the confectionery and have other people eat it, and you can also surprise the person who ate it.

  This embodiment differs from the other embodiments in that an air vent hole is provided in the hole (3). Depending on the viscosity of the material (4) and the shape of the injection tool (10), it is difficult to inject the air into the hole (3) due to the air in the hole (3) getting in the way. There is a case. Therefore, in this example, a small air vent hole was provided with a needle on the side opposite to the opening of the hole (3).

  FIG. 20 is a view showing a state in which the ingredient (4) is injected into the hole (3). In the figure, reference numeral (50) denotes an air vent hole provided on the side opposite to the opening of the hole (3). After providing the hole (3) in the banana (1), an air vent hole (50) was provided by inserting a thin needle from the outside of the banana toward the hole (3). The air vent hole (50) passes through the banana peel (1a) and the pulp (1b) and reaches the hole (3).

  When the material (4) is quickly injected from the opening of the hole (3), the air in the hole (3) is pushed by the material (4) entering from the outside. However, since the air in the hole (3) is discharged to the outside of the banana (1) through the air vent hole (50), the internal pressure of the air in the hole (3) does not increase. Therefore, when filling the material (4) into the hole (3), it can be smoothly injected without being obstructed by the air in the hole (3).

  FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining the structure of this embodiment. The air vent hole (50) is a very small hole through which the material (4) in the hole (3) hardly leaks. However, in this example, the air vent hole (50) was sealed after filling the material (4) in consideration of hygiene. The air vent hole (50) was sealed using a seal (51) as a sealing member. The seal (51) is inconspicuous if it is transparent or yellow, close to the color of a banana. In addition, the type of the filling material (4) and the expiration date may be displayed so that the seal (51) is conspicuous.

  The banana confectionery of the present invention can be charged with various ingredients without losing the original appearance of the banana. Bananas are also nutritionally superior. Therefore, if the ingredients to be put in are devised, it can be used not only as a confectionery but also as a portable meal such as a rice ball or a sandwich.
