Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To fully retain generated carbon dioxide in a container, in producing jelly containing carbon dioxide by utilizing a reaction between a carbonate such as sodium bicarbonate and an acidulant such as citric acid.SOLUTION: A jelly solution containing a carbonate is put in a container; cooled and gelled, with a solution containing an acidulant added thereon. Contact between the carbonate and acidulant can thereby be reduced, making the generation of carbon dioxide minimum at this point of time. The container is then sealed and soaked in hot water with a temperature not lower than a temperature at which a gelling agent is dissolved again. The gelling agent is thereby dissolved, and the carbonate and the acidulant are mixed for reaction to generate carbon dioxide in the container. The container is then soaked in cold water or the like to cause gelling, thus producing jelly containing sufficient carbon dioxide.

Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a jelly containing carbon dioxide gas.

  It is a well-known fact that carbon dioxide gas is generated by mixing an aqueous solution of a carbonate such as sodium hydrogen carbonate with an aqueous solution of an acidulant such as citric acid. A method of making carbonated water using this is also introduced on the Internet. The present invention intends to produce a jelly sufficiently containing carbon dioxide gas by adding a new idea while utilizing this chemical reaction.

  Conventional methods of adding carbon dioxide to jelly include a method of sealing carbon dioxide as a gas using an apparatus or the like and a method of adding carbonated water in which carbon dioxide is dissolved in water. Although a method of adding carbon dioxide gas (dry ice) as a solid is also conceivable, it is not permitted as a food additive.

  In the production of carbon dioxide-containing jelly, when sodium hydrogen carbonate and citric acid are added to the jelly liquid (liquid containing gelling agent, sugar, fruit juice, water, etc.), sodium hydrogen carbonate and citric acid react immediately and carbon dioxide Occurs and escapes to the outside of the container, making it impossible to produce a jelly containing a sufficient amount of carbon dioxide.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is characterized by separately preparing a solution A containing sodium hydrogen carbonate and a solution B containing citric acid.

  In addition to sodium hydrogen carbonate, gelling agent, sugar, water and the like are added to the liquid A, and sugar, fruit juice, water and the like are added to the liquid B in addition to citric acid.

  Fill the container with the heated / dissolved A liquid, cool it to gel, add B liquid (no heating or it may be heated but it is better to keep the temperature down) and seal it. And In addition, a fruit can also be added simultaneously with B liquid.

  The gelling agent dissolves by immersing the sealed container in hot water at a temperature higher than the gelling agent can be re-dissolved, sodium bicarbonate and citric acid react, carbon dioxide is generated, trapped in the container, and then A jelly containing carbon dioxide gas is produced by cooling. When the temperature is equivalent to retort sterilization at the time of heating, the jelly liquid is sterilized and the product can be distributed at room temperature.

  It is also possible to reverse A liquid and B liquid. That is, after the jelly solution containing citric acid is solidified, a solution containing sodium bicarbonate is added, the jelly is redissolved, sodium bicarbonate and citric acid react to generate carbon dioxide, and are trapped in the container, and then cooled. Thus, a jelly containing carbon dioxide gas is produced.

  If the manufacturing method of cooling the jelly solution containing sodium hydrogencarbonate once and gelling like the present invention and then adding the solution containing citric acid is added, the contact area between sodium hydrogen carbonate and citric acid is small (sodium hydrogen carbonate) Since the temperature of the contact is low, the reaction between sodium hydrogen carbonate and citric acid is extremely reduced, and it is possible to produce a jelly containing a sufficient amount of carbon dioxide.

  100 g of water was added to 10 g of gelatin and heated and dissolved, and 10 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate was added and dispersed to prepare solution A. Liquid A was placed in a container and cooled to gel. Separately, 50 g of granulated sugar, 250 g of mandarin orange juice, and 100 g of water were added to 10 g of citric acid and dissolved to prepare solution B. B liquid and 20 g of mandarin orange pulp were added to gelled A liquid and sealed. This was immersed in hot water at 60 ° C. to dissolve the gelled liquid A and mixed with liquid B. When sodium hydrogen carbonate in the liquid A and citric acid in the liquid B reacted to generate carbon dioxide gas and cooled, a mandarin orange jelly containing sufficient carbon dioxide gas was obtained. The obtained mandarin orange jelly was a jelly with a chewy texture.

  The carbon dioxide-containing jelly produced according to the present invention is generally used in the market in addition to being used as a gift product in the same manner as fruit jelly, water candy and pudding.
