Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、任意形状に成形した調理済の米飯類を薄い膜で覆い、再び冷凍してなる易食米飯類及びその揚げ物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年の傾向として、米の消費が落ち続け、それに加えて米の輸入圧力により、減反につぐ減反が繰り返され、田んぼが放置され荒廃している。いざ米を含めた食料品の輸入が種々の要因により減少した際、一度荒廃した田んぼを活用しようとしても、元に復元するには放置した年数だけかかると言われているから、対応出来ないことになる。幸いにも、米に関しては、味の点で価格の安い輸入米に勝っているため、国内産米は高価格であっても飯米として太刀打ち出来ている。しかしながら、食生活の変化による米の消費減退は続いており、更なる減反が予測されるところである。この原因の一つとして、米は食べるまでの調理に時間がかかり過ぎることが上げられる。かって、電気釜の普及により米を失敗せずに、美味しく炊けるようになり、炊飯の苦労から開放されたが、今また電気釜によっても解消することの出来ない調理時間の短縮という命題が突き付けられている。
【0003】
上記命題に対して、本出願人は、すでに今までの炊飯時間を1/3程度に短縮でき、しかも長期にわたり貯蔵できる早炊き米を市場に提供し、高い成果を上げている。しかし、今のところ飯米業者の段階であり、一般家庭まで普及していないのが実情である。この早炊き米を一般家庭まで普及させるには、早炊き米専用あるいは早炊き米と普通米との切替え可能な電気釜の普及が不可欠である。
【0004】
一方、電子レンジ等で加熱するだけで、直ぐに食べることのできる貯蔵飯や、電子レンジで解凍し、更に加熱して食べることのできる調理飯があり、パンやカップ麺感覚で食べることの出来るものが出回りつつある。これらは、調理時間の取れない人や調理に不慣れな人にとって、時間や調理技能が無くても利用でき、重宝である。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記した本出願人による貯蔵早炊き米は、これとほぼ同量の水を加え通常の炊飯時間の1/3程度の時間加熱するだけで、炊きたてのご飯が得られ、蒸らすことなく直ぐに食べることが出来るから、誠に都合が良い。しかしながら、この早炊き米は、調理時間の短縮の命題をクリアーできるものの、手間を掛けずに常時安定して美味しく炊くには、これ専用の電気釜が不可欠であり、この電気釜を一般家庭まで普及させるのは難しい。且つ、仮に電気釜が一般家庭に普及したとしても、米の総需要が増加に転じる保証はない。
【0006】
また、上記の貯蔵飯や調理飯は、パンやカップ麺感覚で食べることが出来て都合が良いが、加熱の際これらから水分が飛び、炊き立てのごはんの食感が得られず、更にその水分が表面に戻ったりして、食感が著しく低下する。また、これら貯蔵飯や調理飯は、従来からある「ごはん」であり、「こわめし、ピラフ、チャーハン」である。したがって、これら貯蔵飯や調理飯は、あまり普及せず、調理時間の短縮の命題をクリアーできても、米の総需要を増加させるまでには至っていないのが現状である。
【0007】
そこで、本発明は、上記事情に鑑みてなされたもので、調理時間の短縮の命題をクリアーすると共に、加熱後の米飯類が炊き立てのごはんの食感を得且つ多種多様の用途に対応させ、米の需要を増加させることがで可能な易食米飯類及びその揚げ物を提供することを課題とする。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は、上記課題を達成することが、調理時間の短縮の命題をクリアーし、且つ、米の総需要を増加させ、ひいては減反が少なくなり田んぼの荒廃を減らし、いざ米を含めた食料品の輸入が種々の要因により減少した際にも、対応出来ることになるため、鋭意研究を行った。その結果、炊き立てのごはんを型押ししてスティック状にしたのち急速冷凍し、そのスティック状ごはんをコースターチや液卵にどぶ付けし、高温の熱風を当ててこれらを固化して、更にその状態で再び冷凍するようにした。このようにすることで、調理時間を短縮でき、加熱してもごはんから水分が飛びづらくなり、飛んだ水分が再びごはんに戻ることが無くなり、炊き立てのごはんの食感を保持し、且つスティック状ごはんを多種多様の用途に対応させ得ることを見い出し、本発明に到達したものである。
【0009】
すなわち、請求項1の発明にかかる易食米飯類は、水蒸気で蒸して米澱粉の少なくとも一部をアルファー化して、その水分を30重量%〜36重量%にしたあと、無菌状態で急冷し密封してなる貯蔵米を主体として含み且つ該貯蔵米を炊き上げてなる米飯類を任意形状に成形したのち冷凍し、該冷凍した成形米飯類の表面を熱固化性の被覆液にて覆い、前記成形米飯類を解凍させない状態で外側から高温加熱して、前記被覆液の少なくとも一部を固化させ、前記成形米飯類が解凍する前に再び冷凍してなることを特徴とする。
【0010】
前記易食米飯類1は、図1〜4に示すように、後述する貯蔵米を主体として含み且つ調理したての米飯類2をスティック状の型3に入れ押し出し成型し、それを急速冷凍し、その急速冷凍した成形米飯類2aの表面を加熱固化性の被覆液4にて覆い、その状態で高温の熱風を送り高温加熱し、急速冷凍した成形米飯類2aを解凍させない状態で、加熱固化性の被覆液4の少なくとも一部を固化させ、この急速冷凍した成形米飯類2aが解凍する前に再び冷凍して、図4に示す易食米飯類1として保管する。必要時に電磁加熱によりスティック状の易食米飯類1を解凍し、そのまま食しても良いし、後述するように、ころも10を付けて、油で揚げて易食米飯類の揚げ物11としても良い。いずれにしても、これら易食米飯類1及び易食米飯類の揚げ物11は、余分に水分が飛んだり、飛んだはずの水が戻り食感を著しく低下させることがなく、食感良く食べることが出来るものである。
【0011】
前記米は、特に限定がなく、ジャポニカ種でも、インディカ種でも良く、もち米でも、以上の各種米を後述する早炊き用に加工した貯蔵米であっても良い。
【0012】
前記米飯類2は、特に限定はないが、米飯のみ、あるいは米飯を主体とし、これに野菜、山菜、肉類、魚介類を入れて味付けし、そのまま食することが出来るまで調理したものでも良い。更に、米飯に豆、大麦、小麦、ハトムギ、蕎麦などその他の穀類を入れたものであっても良い。健康指向の現在、その他の穀類を入れたものは米飯類2として重宝される傾向にある。また、逆に、米飯類2は、例えば、焼きそばのようなものを多くし、これに米飯や豆、ハトムギ、蕎麦などその他の穀類を加え、上記の場合と同様に、野菜、肉類、魚類を入れ、味付けをし食することが出来るような段階まで調理したものであっても、結果的に米の総需要が増えるものであれば良い。なお、この米飯類2の調理法は限定がなく、いかなる調理法を採用しても良い。
味付けは、特に限定はなく、バレンシア風にバレンシア、オムライス風にトマトケチャップ、カレー風にカレー粉、キムチ風にキムチの素など、種々考えられる。
【0013】
前記米飯類2の形状は、特に限定がなく、上記のスティック以外に、スター型、サークル型、ピザ型、ハンバーガー型、リング型などが考えられる。米の総需要が減った原因の大きな要素として、小中学校給食がパン食主体であることに鑑み、こどもに米飯類2を手軽に食べてもらえるように、こどもに好かれるような形状、例えば、人気キャラクターの形状にすることも視野に入れる必要がある。
【0014】
成形直後の米飯類2の冷凍は、急速冷凍が良い。それは、最終的に消費者が食べる際に電磁加熱をすると食感がよくなるからである。
【0015】
前記加熱固化性の被覆液4は、温風などによる対流熱、赤外線や遠赤外線などによる輻射熱、鉄板やフライパンなどによる伝導熱により、固化するものであれば、特に限定がない。但し、被覆液4は、食品を包むものであるから、食べることが出来ないものであってならない。例示すれば、コーンスターチ、液卵、液卵と小麦粉との混合物などである。そして、上述のように型取りした米飯類2は、冷凍してあるから、その表面を被覆液4により覆っても、被覆液4が型取りした米飯類2内部にまでしみ込んだり、被覆液4の水分により米飯類2がふやけるようなことも無く、米飯類2表面を被覆液4にて覆うことが出来る。そして、外側から高温加熱し、被覆液4の少なくとも一部を固化させてから冷凍するため、最終的に消費者が食べる際に電磁加熱をしても、米飯類2がばらけたり、水分が必要以上に飛んだり且つ飛んだ水が米粒に戻り食感が著しく低下することがなくなる。なお、米飯類2表面を被覆液4にて覆った後の冷凍は、上記のような急速冷凍でなくても良い。それはこの冷凍の対象物が固化した被覆液4であるからである。
【0016】
前記貯蔵米は、水蒸気で蒸して米澱粉の少なくとも一部をアルファー化して、その水分を30重量%〜36重量%にしたあと、無菌状態で急冷し密封してなるものである。
【0017】
易食米飯類に貯蔵米を使用することの意味は、その原因は定かではないが、解凍したあとの食味が普通の米と比較して良いからである。この貯蔵米は、洗米した米を、常温(18°C±2°C)の水の場合は20分間〜120分間浸漬してから水切りし、50°C〜60°Cの湯の場合は10分間〜60分間浸漬してから水切りして、蒸し器に入れ0.25kg/cm〜1.5kg/cmの範囲の蒸気にて米を3分間〜10分間蒸し、米澱粉の少なくとも1部をアルファー化したあと蒸米をガスバリアー性の袋に入れ、その袋を開封状態のままハッチに入れて−500mmHg〜−700mmHgの範囲の真空状態を10秒間〜60秒間保持したあと、ハッチ内に無菌エアーを導入して大気圧とし、直ちにガスバリアー性の袋を密封して、常温にて24時間〜48時間放置しアルファー化した米澱粉を熟成させたものである。
【0018】
そして、この貯蔵米の水分は、20重量%〜40重量%の範囲にあるものが使用可能であり、20重量%未満では美味しいと言われているご飯の水分60重量%〜65重量%までに、炊き上げるのに時間がかかり過ぎてしまう。逆に、40重量%を越えると、貯蔵米としてのボリュームが増えすぎてしまう。したがって、本願における理想的な貯蔵米の水分は、30重量%〜36重量%の範囲である。ちなみに、普通の米の水分は約13.5重量%であるから、100gの米を20重量%の貯蔵米とすると約108g〔(100−13.5)g/(1−0.2)〕となり、40重量%の貯蔵米は約144g〔(100−13.5)g/(1−0.4)〕となる。理想的な貯蔵米の水分を中間値の33重量%とすると、約129g〔(100−13.5)g/(1−0.33)〕となる。
【0019】
また、請求項2の発明にかかる易食米飯類は、前記成形米飯類が一口サイズのタコ焼き風の形状であることを特徴とする。
【0020】
前記成形米飯類が一口サイズのタコ焼き風の形状であることは、形状がタコ焼きに似ていることであって、タコ焼きが特に子供や若い人に人気が高いことに鑑み、請求項1の発明のうちから特別採り上げたものである。更に、形状のみならず味もタコ焼き風であっても、実際にタコを入れて生地だけが小麦粉から米飯類2に変わったものとしても良いことは言うまでもない。その他の構成及び製造方法は請求項1の発明と同様であるから、その説明を省略する。
【0021】
また、請求項の易食米飯類の揚げ物は、請求項1又は2記載の易食米飯類を電磁加熱により解凍すると共に前記被覆液の全部を固化し、この状態で更にころもを付けて油で揚げてなることを特徴とする。
【0022】
前記易食米飯類1は、冷凍状態で保管されているから、食する際、電磁加熱をして、被覆液4の1部が固化した状態の被覆液4の残部を固化する。そして、この状態の易食米飯類1をころも10で覆う。なお、このころも10は、油で揚げた際表面がからっと仕上がるものであれば、特に限定が無い。通常小麦粉を水に溶かしたものが使用され、必要に応じて鶏卵を混ぜる。更に必要に応じてパン粉を付けて油で揚げ易食米飯類のフライとしても良い。このように易食米飯類1をころも10で覆っても、易食米飯類1は被覆液4にて覆われているから、型崩れすることが無く、ころも10が易食米飯類1内部にまでしみ込んだり、ころも10により易食米飯類1がふやけるようなことも無く、易食米飯類1表面にころも10を均一に付けることが出来るのである。
【0023】
ころも10や更にパン粉で覆われた易食米飯類1は、大釜内の油で揚げられ、最終的に図5に示す易食米飯類の揚げ物11乃至フライが完成される。本発明の易食米飯類の揚げ物11乃至フライは、被覆液4にて覆われているから、油で揚げられ、最終的に完成された際、成形米飯類2表面を固化した被覆液4により覆うようになって、油が成形米飯類2内に侵入することがなく、油っぽさや米飯が固くなるようなことが無い。
【0024】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to cooked cooked rice that has been formed into an arbitrary shape, covered with a thin film, and frozen again, and to a fried food thereof.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a trend in recent years, rice consumption has continued to fall, and in addition to that, rice pressure has been repeatedly reduced due to the import pressure of rice, and rice fields have been neglected and devastated. When imports of foodstuffs including rice have declined due to various factors, it is said that it will not be possible to restore the original rice field, even if it tries to use a once-devastated rice field, so it cannot be handled. become. Fortunately, because rice is better than imported rice, which is cheaper in terms of taste, domestically produced rice can be beaten as rice. However, rice consumption continues to decline due to changes in eating habits, and further decline is expected. One reason for this is that rice takes too long to cook before eating. The spread of electric kettles allowed rice to be cooked deliciously without failure, and it was freed from the trouble of cooking rice, but now the proposition of shortening the cooking time that can not be solved even by electric kettles has been pointed out. ing.
[0003]
In response to the above-mentioned proposition, the present applicant has already achieved high results by providing quick-cooked rice to the market that can shorten the conventional rice cooking time to about 1/3 and can be stored for a long time. However, it is in the stage of rice-rice traders at present, and the fact is that it has not spread to ordinary households. In order to spread this quick-cooked rice to ordinary households, it is indispensable to use an electric kettle that can be used for quick-cooked rice or switch between fast-cooked rice and ordinary rice.
[0004]
On the other hand, there are cooked rice that can be eaten immediately by heating in a microwave oven, etc., and cooked rice that can be thawed in a microwave oven and then eaten by heating, which can be eaten like bread or cup noodles Is on the move. These are useful for those who cannot cook or who are unfamiliar with cooking without having time or cooking skills.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The above-mentioned quick-cooked rice stored by the applicant can be cooked immediately without adding steam, just adding about the same amount of water and heating for about 1/3 of the normal cooking time. Because it is possible, it is very convenient. However, although this quick-cooked rice can clear the proposition of shortening the cooking time, a dedicated electric kettle is indispensable for cooking constantly and deliciously without much time and effort. It is difficult to spread. And even if electric kettles are widely used in ordinary households, there is no guarantee that total rice demand will increase.
[0006]
In addition, the above stored rice and cooked rice can be conveniently eaten like bread or cup noodles, but when heated, the water will escape from these, and the texture of freshly cooked rice will not be obtained. Moisture returns to the surface and the texture is significantly reduced. In addition, these stored rice and cooked rice are conventional “rice” and “kokameshi, pilaf, fried rice”. Therefore, these stored rice and cooked rice are not so popular, and even if the proposition of shortening the cooking time can be cleared, the total demand for rice has not been increased.
[0007]
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and while clearing the proposition of shortening the cooking time, the cooked rice can obtain the texture of freshly cooked rice and can be used for various applications. It is an object of the present invention to provide an easy-to-eat rice and its fried food that can increase the demand for rice.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present inventor achieves the above-mentioned problems, clears the proposition of shortening the cooking time, increases the total demand for rice, and thus reduces the decrease in rice fields, reduces the devastation of rice fields, and food including rice In order to be able to cope with the decline in imports of goods due to various factors, we conducted intensive research. As a result, the freshly cooked rice was embossed into sticks and then frozen quickly. The sticky rice was placed on a coast starch or liquid egg, and hot hot air was applied to solidify them. It was made to freeze again in the state. In this way, cooking time can be shortened, it becomes difficult for the moisture to fly from the rice even when heated, the flying moisture does not return to the rice again, the texture of the freshly cooked rice is maintained, and the stick It has been found that rice can be used in a wide variety of applications, and the present invention has been achieved.
[0009]
That is, the ready-to- eat rices according to the invention of claim 1 are steamed with steam to make at least a part of rice starch alpha, and the water content is 30% to 36% by weight. and includes mainly a storage rice comprising, and the cooked rice comprising raising cook the該貯Kuramai frozen after molded into an arbitrary shape, it covers the surface of the molding cooked rice that said frozen at pressurized heat solidification of the coating liquid The molded cooked rice is heated at a high temperature from the outside without being defrosted to solidify at least a part of the coating liquid, and is frozen again before the molded cooked rice is thawed .
[0010]
1-4, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the cooked cooked rice 2 mainly containing stored rice, which will be described later, and put into a stick-shaped mold 3 is extruded and rapidly frozen. Then, the surface of the rapidly frozen shaped cooked rice 2a is covered with a heat-solidifying coating liquid 4, and hot hot air is sent in that state to heat at high temperature, and the rapidly frozen shaped cooked rice 2a is heated and solidified without thawing. 4 is solidified, frozen again before the quick-frozen shaped cooked rice 2a is thawed, and stored as edible rice 1 shown in FIG. When necessary, the stick-shaped edible rice 1 may be thawed by electromagnetic heating and eaten as it is, or as will be described later, the roller 10 may be added and fried in oil to obtain the fried food 11 of edible rice . In any case, these easy-to-eat rices 1 and fried foods 11 of easy-to-eat rices can be eaten with a good texture without excessively splashing water or returning water that should have been blown. Is something you can do.
[0011]
The rice is not particularly limited, and may be japonica or indica, glutinous rice, or stored rice obtained by processing the above-mentioned various types of rice for quick cooking, which will be described later.
[0012]
The cooked rice 2 is not particularly limited, but the cooked rice may be cooked until it can be eaten as it is, with only cooked rice or mainly cooked rice, seasoned with vegetables, wild vegetables, meat and seafood. Furthermore, you may put other cereals, such as beans, barley, wheat, pearl barley, and buckwheat, in the rice. At present, health-oriented foods containing other grains tend to be useful as cooked rice 2. On the other hand, the cooked rice 2 has a lot of things like fried noodles, for example, and other grains such as cooked rice, beans, pearl barley, buckwheat, etc. are added, and in the same manner as above, vegetables, meat and fish are added. Even if it is cooked to the stage where it can be added, seasoned and eaten, it will suffice as long as the total demand for rice increases as a result. In addition, the cooking method of this cooked rice 2 is not limited, and any cooking method may be adopted.
The seasoning is not particularly limited, and various methods such as Valencia for Valencia, tomato ketchup for Omurice, curry powder for curry, kimchi for kimchi, etc. are conceivable.
[0013]
The shape of the cooked rice 2 is not particularly limited, and other than the above sticks, a star shape, a circle shape, a pizza shape, a hamburger shape, a ring shape, and the like are conceivable. Considering that elementary and junior high school lunches are mainly bread meals as a major factor behind the decline in total rice demand, shapes that are preferred by children so that children can eat rice 2 easily, for example, It is also necessary to consider the shape of popular characters.
[0014]
The freezing of cooked rice 2 immediately after molding is preferably quick freezing. This is because, when the consumer finally eats electromagnetic heating, the texture becomes better.
[0015]
The heat-solidifying coating liquid 4 is not particularly limited as long as it is solidified by convection heat from hot air, radiant heat from infrared rays or far infrared rays, conduction heat from an iron plate or a frying pan. However, since the coating liquid 4 wraps food, it cannot be eaten. Examples include corn starch, liquid egg, and a mixture of liquid egg and flour. Since the cooked rice 2 molded as described above is frozen, even if the surface of the cooked rice 2 is covered with the coating liquid 4, the coating liquid 4 soaks into the molded rice 2 or the coating liquid 4. The surface of the cooked rice 2 can be covered with the coating liquid 4 without the rice cooked rice 2 being swollen by the moisture. And since it heats at high temperature from the outside and solidifies at least a part of the coating liquid 4 and freezes, even when the consumer finally eats, the cooked rice 2 is scattered or moisture is lost. The water that flew more than necessary and the water that flew back returned to the rice grains and the texture was not significantly reduced. The freezing after covering the surface of the cooked rice 2 with the coating liquid 4 may not be the quick freezing as described above. This is because the object to be frozen is the solidified coating liquid 4.
[0016]
The stored rice is steamed with water vapor to alphalize at least a portion of the rice starch so that its water content is 30% to 36% by weight, and then rapidly cooled and sealed in a sterile state.
[0017]
The meaning of using stored rice for edible rice is because the taste after thawing can be compared with normal rice, although the cause is not clear. This stored rice is washed rice, soaked for 20 to 120 minutes in the case of water at room temperature (18 ° C ± 2 ° C), drained, and in the case of hot water at 50 ° C to 60 ° C, it is 10 minutes and drained after soaking 60 minutes, rice steamed for 3 minutes to 10 minutes at put 0.25kg / cm 2 ~1.5kg / cm 2 in the range of vapor steamer, at least a portion of rice starch After the formation of alpha, the steamed rice is placed in a gas barrier bag, and the bag is opened and kept in a hatch to maintain a vacuum state in the range of −500 mmHg to −700 mmHg for 10 seconds to 60 seconds. Is brought to atmospheric pressure, the gas barrier bag is immediately sealed, and allowed to stand at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours to age the rice starch that has been pregelatinized.
[0018]
And the water | moisture content of this storage rice can use what is in the range of 20 weight%-40 weight% , and if it is less than 20 weight%, it is said that the water | moisture content of rice is 60 to 65 weight%. , It takes too long to cook. Conversely, if it exceeds 40% by weight, the volume of stored rice will increase too much. Therefore, the ideal moisture content of stored rice in the present application is in the range of 30% to 36% by weight. By the way, the moisture of ordinary rice is about 13.5% by weight, so if 100g of rice is 20% by weight of stored rice, about 108g [(100-13.5) g / (1-0.2)] Thus, 40% by weight of stored rice is about 144 g [(100-13.5) g / (1-0.4)]. When the ideal moisture content of stored rice is 33% by weight of the intermediate value, it is about 129 g [(100-13.5) g / (1-0.33)].
[0019]
In addition, the ready-to-eat rice according to the invention of claim 2 is characterized in that the shaped cooked rice has a bite-sized octopus grilled shape.
[0020]
The shape of the shaped cooked rice is a bite-sized octopus baked style, the shape is similar to octopus baked, and octopus baked is particularly popular with children and young people. Specially picked up from home. Furthermore, it goes without saying that not only the shape but also the taste of the octopus is baked, and the octopus may actually be added and only the dough changed from flour to cooked rice 2. Since the other structure and manufacturing method are the same as those of the invention of claim 1, the description thereof is omitted.
[0021]
In addition, the fried food of edible rice of claim 3 is obtained by thawing the edible rice of claim 1 or 2 by electromagnetic heating and solidifying all of the coating liquid. It is characterized by being fried in oil.
[0022]
Since the edible cooked rice 1 is stored in a frozen state, when the food is eaten, electromagnetically heated to solidify the remainder of the coating liquid 4 in a state where 1 part of the coating liquid 4 is solidified. And the easy-to-eat rice 1 in this state is covered with 10 as well. It should be noted that there is no particular limitation on the surface 10 as long as the surface is easily finished when fried with oil. Usually, flour in water is used, and chicken eggs are mixed if necessary. Furthermore, if necessary, bread crumbs may be added and fried in oil to make fried rice. Thus, even if the edible rice 1 is covered with the roll 10, the edible cooked rice 1 is covered with the coating solution 4, so that it does not lose its shape. The edible cooked rice 1 is not soaked into the inside and the roller 10 is not swollen, and the roller 10 can be uniformly attached to the surface of the edible cooked rice 1.
[0023]
The edible rice 1 covered with 10 or even bread crumbs is fried with oil in the cauldron, and finally the edible rice 11 fried food shown in FIG. 5 is completed. Since the fried foods 11 to fries of the edible cooked rice of the present invention are covered with the coating liquid 4, when the fried food 11 is fried in oil and finally completed, the surface of the molded rice 2 is solidified by the coating liquid 4. As a result, the oil does not penetrate into the shaped cooked rice 2 and the oiliness and the cooked rice are not hardened.
[0024]
