Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a card-like flower paste suitable as a topping material or a packaging material in bread making and confectionery.

[Conventional technology]

In general, flour paste containing custard cream etc. is made from wheat flour and starch as main components, and other ingredients such as sugars are mixed and heated as necessary, and then cooked into a paste. It is used in a large amount as a filling material to be filled in a bakery, a topping material to be applied or squeezed on the surface when making bread or confectionery.

Conventionally, these flour pastes are generally commercialized through the steps of raw material preparation, cooking and cooling, and are distributed in containers such as gallon cans. Therefore,
For example, when used as a topping material, it is necessary to manually transfer it onto an object such as a bread maker by using tools such as a piping bag or a spatula, and quantitative and efficient work depends on the intuition of a skilled craftsman. It was a fact. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to promote mass production and efficiency in this field.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances,
The purpose is to provide a carded flower paste that can be easily topped without relying on the intuition of a skilled craftsman, and at the same time to provide a flower paste suitable for the production of the carded flower paste. is there.

[Means for solving the problem]

The object of the present invention has been attained by providing a curd-like flower paste obtained by forming a flour paste containing wheat flour and starch as a main component on a film in a card shape, and further comprising agar or konjac flour and / or konjac flour in the flour paste. Alternatively, the properties of the flower paste can be significantly improved by adding cellulose.

The curd-like flower paste of the present invention is characterized in that the flower paste is formed in a card form on a film, and the flower paste is characterized by containing agar or konjac flour and / or cellulose as necessary. Accordingly, the workability such as topping is dramatically improved by these, and it can be used without requiring skill.

In the present invention, the flour paste is the same as a normally produced flour paste in that wheat flour and starch are used as main raw materials, and commonly used materials are also used. Further, as other materials, fats and oils such as sugars, margarine and shortening, and, if necessary, chocolate, cocoa and the like, as well as various flavors and the like are also used. The solid content in the flower paste also varies depending on the purpose of use, for example, topping, sand or entanglement, but is usually in the range of 40 to 50% by weight.

Agar, konjac flour and cellulose used as necessary in the present invention are all prepared for food addition.As cellulose, for example, Sanyo Kokusaku Pulp Co., Ltd., trade name `` KC Flock '' and the like are preferable. Used. The agar content in the flower paste is generally 0.2 to 1.3% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 1.0% by weight.
% Of konjac flour
The content is 0.03 to 0.15% by weight, preferably 0.05 to 0.1% by weight, and the cellulose content is usually 1.5 to 3.5% by weight, preferably 2.0 to 3.0% by weight.

If the amounts of the agar, konjac flour and cellulose are below the respective lower limits, the curd-like flour paste obtained does not have stiffness or does not form a card in some cases. On the other hand, if the added amount exceeds the respective upper limit, the product often dissolves in the mouth and loses flavor. Therefore, the card-like flower paste of the present invention has good workability such as topping, sand, peelability from the film when used, such as entanglement, non-breakability at the time of peeling, and spatula cutting, and at the same time, firing. It has good heat resistance to sintering, does not melt, and melts well when eaten, giving a softer mouthfeel.

In the production of the flower paste of the present invention, it is possible to simultaneously include agar or konjac flour and cellulose. In such a case, for example, the agar content is 0.2 to 1.3% by weight or the konjac flour content is 0.03%. ~ 0.
It is also possible to obtain the same effect as above by adjusting the content of cellulose to 15% by weight and the content of cellulose in the range of 1.5 to 3.5% by weight, and to expect an excellent effect such that it is hard to be broken at the time of roll-in molding. Can also.

A mixture containing wheat flour and starch as main components, and agar or konjac flour and / or cellulose together with other additives, and adjusted to an appropriate solid concentration, for example, is heated to 40 to 50 ° C. with uniform mixing. Then, the temperature is finally raised to 90 to 100 ° C. while stirring using a continuous heat exchanger or the like, so that the starch is converted to alpha (α) and gelatinized, and then cooled to obtain a flower paste.

In the present invention, the above-mentioned flower paste is formed into a card state on a film by an arbitrary method. Specific methods for forming a card on a film include the following methods, but are not limited thereto, and alternate application operations are also possible.

1) A flower paste is rolled into a sheet into an appropriate thickness as described later on a film, and cut into a card shape by a method such as spatula cutting into an appropriate size required according to the application.

2) A mold provided with one or more cutouts of a desired thickness and size is placed on the film, and a flower paste is supplied from the upper part of the mold to fill the cutouts. Remove it.

3) Sprinkle a desired amount of flower paste on a film at a desired interval, and roll the plate with a flat plate to a desired thickness.

4) After the flower paste is interspersed by the method of 3), the mold is formed by pressing a mold having a recess having a desired shape.

5) The film is continuously supplied onto a rotating roll having a concave portion, and at the same time, the flower paste is quantitatively supplied to the concave portion by interlocking with a pair of rolls to continuously form.

The above-mentioned method can be carried out either in a batch system or a continuous system. It can be close.

Films used include low density polyethylene,
Thermoplastic resin films such as high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, vinylidene chloride, polyester, polystyrene, non-plastic PVC, vinyl chloride, etc., and regenerated cellulose films such as ordinary cellophane, moisture-proof cellophane, acetate cellulose film, etc. are used. Can be used in the form of a sheet having a thickness of about 20 microns to about 200 microns. If a relatively thin film is used, it can be disposable, and if a thick and strong film is used, it can be reused.

The thickness and size of the individual flower paste of the sheet-like flower paste vary depending on the purpose of use such as topping or sand, but the thickness is usually 2 to 20 mm, more generally about 2.5 to 5 mm, and Regarding the size, for example, in addition to a 3 cm square to a 15 cm square or a rectangular shape thereof, it may be an animal or a flower-shaped free shape.

The above-mentioned sheet-shaped flower paste can be used as a topping material without peeling off the film paste by hand or with a spatula from the top of the film at the time of topping, and without deforming the flower paste by bending only the film. In particular, flour pastes having different flavors can be combined or stacked in parallel. Also, in storing the flower paste, the card-shaped flower paste can be stacked in several layers, the required area is small, and the belt can be transferred.

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to examples.
