Description

Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing evening meal fruit-containing food. For more information, nutritive value is high and it is extremely safe for food hygiene by sterilizing and drying all the evening fruits except the outer skin, including the core of the evening fruits that have been discarded (hereinafter referred to as "cotton"). This is a method for easily and inexpensively producing an evening-fruit fruit-containing food having excellent preservability.

2. Description of the Related Art Yugao is an ancient food from Japan, and is a nutritious food containing a good balance of sugar, fiber, protein, vitamins, calcium, pectin, and the like. The pulp portion obtained by slicing and drying the pulp portion in a band shape is referred to as dried gourd, and has been conventionally appreciated as a sushi tool.

Hyohyo is usually subjected to bleach sterilization by sulfur fumigation (Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-21292, Food Industry 3, No. 52, 1983).
Year), sulfur remains, so it is necessary to wash with water when eating, so that water-soluble nutrients (vitamins, sugars,
Amino acids, pectin, minerals, etc.) almost run off.

In order to compensate for this drawback, there has been proposed an evening glory food using dried gourd sterilized by a method not based on sulfur fumigation (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-32458).

However, Hyohyo and the above-mentioned Yugao foods use only the flesh portion of the Yugao fruit, and the central "cotton", which accounts for 20% of the weight of the Yugae fruit, cannot be sliced into strips because it contains seeds and is discarded. That is the current situation. These are very perishable and are thrown away in the field, causing odor.

On the other hand, there is also a method of drying the sun by slicing the whole peeled evening grape fruit on a disk (JP-A-2-23847).
This method requires a large space and is influenced by the weather. In addition, it is difficult to prevent foreign matter from adhering or mixing, which is the fate of solar drying, and this is a major bottleneck in quality control.

Also, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 60-43345 reports a dry powder obtained by milling the cotton of the evening fruit. However, in this case, the cotton cannot be dried as it is, and the cotton is squeezed and dried until the remaining moisture becomes 30%. Therefore, the vitamins, sugars, amino acids, pectin, minerals, etc. contained in the fruit juice are harmful to the human body. Most important nutrients are lost.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention sterilizes and dries all the evening fruit except the outer skin, including the cotton portion of the evening fruit that has been discarded so far, and has a high nutritional value, An object of the present invention is to produce simple and inexpensive food containing evening glory fruit which is extremely safe in hygiene and excellent in preservability.

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have conducted intensive studies on a method for producing evening food, and as a result, added a dispersant to the evening fruit to reduce the water content of the mixture of the evening fruit and the dispersant to 90% or less. Thus, it was found that molding and drying of all the evening grape fruits except the outer skin became possible, and the present invention was reached.

Hereinafter, the method for producing the evening meal fruit-containing food of the present invention will be described in detail.

First, the peeled evening grape fruit is crushed in a mixer, and a dispersant is added to the crushed fruit.
Mix so that:

The addition of the dispersant reduces the water content of the mixture to 90%.
% Or less. The water content of the mixture is 90
%, The moldability is poor, and a long time is required for drying.

Dispersants include apple fiber as a dietary fiber,
Bumpkin powder, carrot powder, corn fiber, cellulose powder, bran and the like can be used, and as the polysaccharide, flour and buckwheat flour can be used.

Evening fruit itself contains a large amount of dietary fiber. Particularly when dietary fiber is used as a dispersant, it is not only an improvement in molding drying property but also a very useful health by extracting the excellent properties of evening fruit. Food can be provided. That is, the evening meal containing food obtained by the present invention can be added to processed foods, of course, when it is used as it is, due to the synergistic effect of the strong bifidobacteria growth action of the evening fruit and the intestinal purification action of dietary fiber. Even when used in a small amount, it can be expected that a small amount is effective in suppressing intestinal putrefaction products, diarrhea, improving constipation, and the like.

Next, the mixture is sterilized by heating and dried to a desired dry state. The method of sterilization is to suppress the evaporation of water and to heat the mixture at a temperature of 60 to 100 ° C, preferably 75 to 85 ° C for 1 to 3 times.
Any method can be used as long as it can hold the time. By this sterilization, it is possible to obtain a food containing hyacinth which is extremely safe for food hygiene and has a general viable cell count of less than 5 × 10 ³ cells / g and is negative for coliform bacteria and Salmonella. For drying, a dryer such as a box-type ventilation dryer, a band dryer, and a rotary dryer is used. The drying temperature may be any number as long as it does not cause browning, but is preferably from 60 to 80 ° C. Also,
In order to ensure excellent storage stability, the water content should be 8% or less, preferably 3% or less.

The evening meal containing food obtained in the present invention can be used as it is or in the form of granules or tablets by pulverizing with a speed mill or the like. These evening meal containing foods can be processed directly into foods such as udon, shy husk, bread, etc., or used by adding them, and liquids such as ketchup, mayonnaise, soup, processed meats such as kamaboko, hamburger, sausage, etc. It can be used by adding it to foods such as sweets such as red bean paste, sea urchin, yogurt and pudding.

 Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described.

Example 1 Twenty evening fruit having peeled the outer skin and having a cut edge was crushed by a cutter mill to obtain 48 kg of a crushed evening fruit having a water content of 96% and a general viable count of 7.3 × 10 ⁶ bacteria per gram of dry matter. .
