DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing a food containing a solid material which has been shredded into particles. The present invention relates to a method for producing a food containing a particulate solid.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various foods containing solids such as shredded vegetables and fruits have been proposed and marketed. For example, JP-A-64-6035
No. 1 proposes a separate type dressing comprising a water phase portion containing grated radish and an oil phase portion. However, in the above-mentioned separate type dressing, since the particle size of the solid material (grated radish) is small, the solid material has a poor presence in appearance, is not chewy and has an unsatisfactory texture, and is applied to various foods. In some cases, the solids run down with the liquid components and are not retained on the food.
On the other hand, recently, instead of the above-mentioned grated solid having a small particle size, a food containing a particulate solid having a relatively large particle size has been developed. As an example of such a development, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-33460 proposes a seasoning for grilled meat containing grated vegetables, fruits and the like having a particle size of 3 mm or more. According to such seasonings,
The solid material has a large particle size, so that the presence and texture of the solid material can be obtained, and when the product is applied to food such as grilled meat, the solid material is prevented from flowing along with the liquid component from the food. Can be.

[0003] When industrially chopping solids such as vegetables and fruits in large quantities, a high-speed pulverizer such as a Comitrol is generally used. This type of high-speed crusher rotates a cutter (impeller) radially provided in a cylindrical screen having a large number of through holes at high speed, and centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation causes solid matter to be formed on the inner surface of the screen. This is crushed by a cutter blade slidably contacting the inner surface of the screen while being moved, and the crushed solid is discharged to the outside through a through hole of the screen. However, when attempting to obtain a particulate solid having a relatively large particle size by using this type of pulverizer, the following problems have been encountered. That is, in the high-speed crusher,
Since the rotation of the cutter cannot be made slow due to the necessity of moving the solid by centrifugal force, the cutter frequently comes into contact with the solid, and the cutter rotating at a high speed tends to break the tissue of the solid. Therefore, there is a problem that the particle size of the solid material tends to be small. From the above problem, instead of a commitrol that moves solids by centrifugal force due to high speed rotation of the cutter,
A shredder such as a meat grinder having a structure for extruding and moving a solid by a screw or the like was used. In this case, the flowability of the solid in the shredder was poor, and the solid was stably sent to the cutter. In some cases, the solid material did not pass through the cutter blade and was not shredded, and the particle size of the obtained solid material was not constant and the quality was not stable. Therefore,
Products such as seasonings containing such solids are not satisfactory because the presence of the solids is obtained, but the appearance is poor due to irregular sizes and uneven texture. Was.

[0004]

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a food containing particulate solids such as vegetables and fruits, which are kept in a suitable size and are chopped to a substantially uniform particle size. Aim.

The present inventors have conducted studies to achieve the above object, and as a result, have found that a meat grinder or the like having a structure in which solids are extruded and moved by a screw or the like instead of a commitrol that moves solids by centrifugal force. It was found that the intended purpose was achieved by using the shredder of the above, and by chopping the shredder by supplying the solid matter in a state of being dispersed in the paste-like material, thereby achieving the intended purpose. Thus, the present invention has been completed.

That is, according to the present invention, in a method for producing a food containing a solid material which has been shredded into particles, a screen provided with a plurality of through holes is used for shredding the solid material using a shredder. It is characterized in that the solids are supplied in a state of being dispersed in a paste-like material and shredded into particles by a shredder having a structure for extruding the solids toward a cutter that is in sliding contact with the cutter. The present invention provides a method for producing a particulate solid-containing food.

[0007]

Next, the present invention will be described in detail. First, the foods targeted by the present invention are not particularly limited as long as they contain solids such as vegetables and fruits cut into particles, for example, dressings, liquid seasonings such as grilled meat sauce, Various products such as pasty seasoning such as kneaded wasabi, kneaded mustard, kneaded plum and the like, various soups, sauces, salads such as mashed potatoes can be mentioned. Among these, it is particularly effective when targeting liquid foods such as liquid seasonings, various soups and sauces. That is, in these liquid foods, when the particle size of the solids contained therein is non-uniform, poor appearance of the appearance tends to be particularly apparent, and this is suitably solved by the present invention.

The solid used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and specifically, for example, radish, ginseng,
Vegetables such as onions, shiso, potatoes, peppers, and garlic, and fruits such as apples, pine, and plums (preferably immature plums having relatively hard tissues) are included. According to the present invention, these solids can be shredded into particles having an arbitrary size, specifically, for example, particles having a particle size of about 1 to 10 mm, more preferably about 2 to 7 mm. .

In the present invention, a plurality of through-holes are used in shredding the above-mentioned solid material using a shredder, instead of a commitrol which moves the solid material by centrifugal force as described above. A shredder having a structure for extruding a solid material toward a rotating cutter in sliding contact with a perforated screen is used, and the solid material is supplied to the shredder in a state of being dispersed in a paste-like material. It is important to shred it into particles.

[0010] As the above-mentioned shredder, for example, a meat grinder configured to extrude a processed material by a screw can be mentioned as a preferable one. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned grinder, and a shredder configured to extrude the processed material by a piston or the like may be used. According to these shredders, the rotation speed of the cutter can be appropriately adjusted according to the size of the solid matter to be obtained, thereby producing a food containing a particulate solid matter having a desired size. It becomes possible.

As the paste in which the solid is dispersed, one or two kinds may be appropriately selected from raw materials other than the solid used in the food of the present invention. Examples of such raw materials include miso, plum paste, mashed sesame, mashed potato, kneaded wasabi, kneaded mustard, concentrated sauce, bean jam, peanut butter, marmalade and the like. The ratio of the paste in which the solid is dispersed is not particularly limited. For example, the paste is 0.5 to 10 and more preferably 1 to 1 in terms of weight ratio.
~ 5.

In the present invention, the solid is dispersed in the paste and supplied to the shredder so that the solid can be extruded toward the cutter in a flowable and stable manner in the shredder. As well as being able to disperse and hold the solids in the paste-like material and reliably prevent slipping through the cutter blade, it can be shredded, so that it is shredded into substantially uniform particles while maintaining an appropriate size. Solids such as vegetables and fruits can be obtained. When the solid is dispersed in the paste, the solid may be coarsely cut in advance, so that a particulate solid having a substantially uniform size can be more suitably obtained. .

[0013] The remaining raw materials are then added to the solid material and the paste material thus chopped into particles (without adding any raw materials other than the solid material as the paste material). If necessary, it can be subjected to appropriate processing such as heat treatment to obtain a final product.
