Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a citrus peel for use in a household pulverizer or a container equipped with a similar pulverizer, and pulverized for each trial use. It relates to a mixed spice containing the same.

(Prior Art) Sansho fruit has peculiar pungency and aroma and is used for various uses as a spice and a flavor. For example, powdered pepper used for eel kabayaki etc.
It is manufactured by finely pulverizing with a stamp pulverizer or the like, and the ground pepper powder after pulverization has a rich aroma. However, in the sansho powder obtained by the above-mentioned conventional method, the fragrance of the pepper is easily volatilized, and the fragrance disappears during filling into the container after grinding, or the fragrance can be maintained by keeping the container in a sealed state during storage. However, the aroma gradually disappears after the container is opened.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the present invention includes a crushed citrus peel capable of obtaining a rich aroma of a citrus peel such as sansho at any time during use, and a citrus peel for grinding. The purpose is to provide spices for grinding.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As a result of research, the present inventors have found that a particle size exceeding a specific size, which is sufficiently dried, and retains the oil vesicles of the pericarp (skin) containing an aroma component without breaking them. According to the pericarp of the dried pepper, it has been found that when this is ground with a household spice grinder or the like, when it is ground to a particle size suitable for eating, it also exhibits a very rich aroma. This was also achieved when the pericarp of the said pepper was crushed after long-term storage, and it was also found that the pericarp, yuzu, kabosu, and other citrus peels such as sudachi could be similarly reached. .

The present invention has been made based on the above findings,
The gist of the present invention is a citrus peel for pulverization, comprising 90% by weight or more of 350 μm or more and dried and, as much as possible, citrus peels having pericarp of the pericarp.

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

The citrus peel for crushing of the present invention is crushed by a household spice grinder (used for pepper etc.) or provided with a crushing device of the same form in the lid portion, Is used for such purposes as putting into a container in a form to be pulverized by the pulverizer.

The citrus peel used as a raw material can be used irrespective of the type of citrus, and examples thereof include sansho, rindo, yuzu, kabosu and sudachi. It is particularly preferred to use sansho,
In this case, it is desirable to use a large grain pepper that has good aroma and high quality, and is excellent in processing aptitude in that the fruit and endothelium can be easily removed by drying.

The above citrus peel is dried by a conventional method,
In particular, the water content is preferably 5 to 20% by weight (hereinafter simply referred to as%), preferably 6.5 to 10%. 2 moisture content
If it exceeds 0%, it tends to be hardly applied to the pulverizer and the generation of aroma tends to be poor. On the other hand, if it is less than 5%, the degree of drying is too strong and the aroma component tends to volatilize. Therefore,
With the water content in the above range, citrus peel that is easily subjected to pulverization and exhibits a rich aroma by pulverization can be obtained.

Further, the citrus peel contains 90% or more of particles having a particle size of 350 μm or more, and holds the oil vesicles without breaking as much as possible.
In other words, according to the pericarp having a certain degree of particle size as described above, and leaving the oil vesicles, the fragrance component of the citrus is sufficiently retained, and because the crushing suitability is good, the citrus pericarp after the crushing is very good. A rich aroma can be obtained. When the particle size of the peel is smaller than the above range, the pulverization is poor, and it becomes difficult to sufficiently obtain a desirable aroma for the pulverized peel. The peel may be in the form of a hole.

When the citrus peel is prepared so as to contain 90% or more of the above-mentioned particles having a particle size of 350 μm or more (hereinafter, the preparation is referred to as crushing), it is necessary to carry out as much as possible without breaking the oil vesicles. For this purpose, it is preferable to use a pulverizer such as a cutter mill (feather mill), a power mill, and a roll machine, and it is particularly preferable to use a cutter mill or a power mill. In the case of using a roll machine, two opposing rollers each having a saw-tooth shape on the surface may be driven by a D: D (Dull vs. Dull) meshing method to perform crushing. Crushed citrus peel,
In the case of adjusting the particle size to the desired particle size of the present invention, a shifter having an appropriate aperture may be used.

Citrus peel is particularly 1000μm or more particle size, preferably 2000
It is desirable that those containing 90 μm or more include those having μm or more. That is, when the particle size of the pericarp is increased to the above range, more aroma components can be retained and the appropriateness of the pulverization is improved, so that a richer aroma can be achieved by the pulverized pericarp. When using the pepper skin, it is preferable to use the one from the above range up to a size in which the skin is split into two. This is because the use of a material that is not in the state of a hole but is substantially smaller than the material that has been split into two pieces improves the crushing suitability as compared with the peel of the hole. It is desirable that the pericarp of the pepper is one from which the endothelium is removed in terms of appearance.

The above-mentioned citrus peel is used alone for pulverization, or is mixed with other spices and used as a spice for pulverization.

According to the citrus peel of the present invention, a rich aroma can be achieved when pulverized with a pulverizer. Therefore, a spice for pulverization exhibiting a good aroma by pulverization can be prepared by mixing this with other spices.

In the above case, it is preferable to prepare a mixture with another spice having a particle size substantially equal to the particle size of the citrus peel. Thereby, when the mixed spice is stored in a container or the like, specific gravity separation between the raw materials can be prevented, and a homogeneous mixed state can be maintained. Therefore, if this is crushed, a crushed spice having a uniform aroma and flavor can be constantly obtained.

For example, in the case of preparing a spice that is usually called Shichimi using the peel of pepper, other spices such as chili, green tea powder, sesame, cinnamon, poppy taste, hemp seeds, etc. are used alone or in any combination. I just need. In the above case, as the pepper skin, the particle size is 350 to 4000 μm, preferably 500 to 1680 μm
What contains 90% or more of these may be used. In other words, the peel of the pepper becomes stronger after grinding as the particle size increases,
Some of the exemplary spices that are the ingredients for Shichimi have relatively small particle sizes. Therefore, by setting the particle size of the pepper to be as described above in consideration of the small spices, it is possible to obtain a mixed spice that is uniformly homogenized while improving the aroma of the ground pepper and preventing specific gravity separation. .

The blending ratio of the pepper and the spices is 3:97 to 45: 455
(Weight ratio), which results in a mixed spice with excellent aroma as the seven flavors.

Next, an embodiment in which the above-described citrus peel for pulverization and the mixed spices for pulverization are provided in a container provided with a pulverization device will be described with reference to the drawings.
