DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to a method for ripening seaweed using warm seawater that minimizes the loss of umami components that are ripened under seaweed raw algae and using warm seawater. "Prior Art and Its Problems" Regarding this type of ripening method, the present applicant has proposed the following invention.

(1) There is a method for accelerating the ripening of seaweed, disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-6189. This invention is based on the supply of cut seaweed (2) Special Publication No. 61-3
There is a Nori Kuninari method and apparatus thereof, No. 4786. The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for processing cut seaweed supplied to a seaweed ripening machine under pressure.

(3) There is a ripening accelerator in a seaweed ripening machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-59101. The present invention is an apparatus that supplies heated compressed air or water to a seaweed ripening machine to which cut seaweed is fed.

In the method and apparatus for accelerating the ripening of seaweed described in detail above, since the ripening process is performed at the stage of cutting the seaweed, a large amount of the umami components of the seaweed flows out from the fractured surface of the cut seaweed.

Therefore, the taste of the dried 1ft seaweed produced from this cut seaweed is poor. In addition, since the fluid used for ripening is water, it has a negative effect on the seaweed cells, causing problems such as the seaweed cells dying, their metabolism stopping, and waste products remaining in the cut seaweed. is possible.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' Therefore, the present invention aims to eliminate the leakage of umami components of seaweed from the fractured surface of cut seaweed, and thereby produce delicious dried seaweed. A method of ripening seaweed in which warm seawater is supplied to a tank and/or nori cleaning machine or kneading machine and the seaweed is aged under raw seaweed, or warm seawater is supplied to a ripening machine and the seaweed is aged under raw seaweed. ．． be.

In addition, the product uses 7M seawater instead of water-based aging, which causes the death of seaweed cells, to ripen the seaweed cells without dying, and is configured to prevent waste products from accumulating inside the seaweed cells as much as possible.

Furthermore, simultaneous aging with 4+1 water and stirring blades aims to shorten the aging time and improve efficiency.

"action" Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

First, to discuss the inventions described in (1) and (2) in detail, first, a seaweed raw algae tank is filled with rinsing seawater in advance.

A predetermined amount of the collected seaweed algae is put into a tank filled with warm seawater.

The seaweed pX algae that has been placed in this raw algae tank is thoroughly stirred by the stirring blades installed here, and the diatoms are separated while avoiding the formation of lumps, and the state of the seaweed pX algae is maintained at the same level. Sufficient maturation is achieved under warm sea water, but this maturation is mellow and a sufficient maturing effect can be expected in a short period of time.

The matured seaweed raw algae is then transported to a moss cleaning machine or a mixing machine via piping. Here, depending on the case, it is further washed with warm seawater or seawater to remove almost all of the impurities such as shrimp and diatoms.

In this way, the matured and washed seaweed is transported via piping to a dehydrator and then to a seaweed cutting machine, where the matured and washed seaweed is minced. It is cut into pieces.

First, it is mixed with water through almost the same process as in the past, and then the tackiness is controlled, and at the point when the mixture has a predetermined concentration, this mixture is transported to a seaweed shaving machine.

Next, regarding the inventions described in (1) and (2), the removed algae are put into a #1 algae tank filled with seawater.

The raw seaweed that is put into this raw algae tank is evenly stirred by the stirring blades installed here, and the diatoms are separated while avoiding the formation of dumplings, and the state of ia seaweed is maintained. The freshness of seaweed algae is maintained under the seawater and through seawater.

This fresh-maintained moss progenitor algae is then fed to a ripening machine via piping and a dehydrator, where it is aged.

Specifically, this ripening machine is supplied with the freshness-maintained seaweed raw algae and the corresponding medicinal seawater, and
Stir evenly through the stirring blade to avoid lump-like formation.

Sufficient ripening is achieved under the conditions of the seaweed raw algae that are the object of the present invention and through warm seawater, but this ripening is mellow and a sufficient ripening effect is achieved even in a short period of time.
J I can wait.

In this way, the aged seaweed raw algae is conveyed via piping to a dehydrator and to a seaweed cutting machine, where it is aged and washed. The seaweed algae is cut into minced pieces.

The rest is almost the same as described above.

"Embodiment" Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the inventions described in (1) and (2) will be described in detail. The collected seaweed algae are put into a seaweed algae tank 1 filled with warm seawater.

In this raw algae tank 1, the seaweed is fully matured under the raw seaweed through biochemical ripening using warm seawater and mechanical ripening that is evenly stirred through stirring blades 2. However, this maturation is mellow and a sufficient maturing effect can be expected in a short period of time.

The matured seaweed raw algae is then transported to a seaweed washing machine or kneading machine 5 via a pipe 4 having a bomb 3, and further heated to warm seawater or Washed with seawater, further aged in warm seawater,
In the case of seawater, almost all of the impurities such as shrimp and diatoms are removed. In addition, washing with water may be necessary depending on the case.

Furthermore, it is also possible to omit the aging process using rinsing seawater in the seaweed raw algae tank 1, and to ripen the seaweed by using warm seawater only in the seaweed washing machine or the washing machine 5.

In this way, the raw seaweed algae that has been matured and washed (with freshness maintenance and aging cleaning) is conveyed to the nori cutter 11110 via the dehydrator 9 via the pipe 8 having the bomb 7, and then The aged and washed seaweed algae is cut into minced pieces in a machine.

After that, it is mixed with water through almost the same process as before.

Next, the inventions described in (1) and (2) will be described in detail. The collected seaweed algae are put into a seaweed algae tank 1 filled with seawater.

In this raw algae tank 1, the freshness of the raw seaweed algae is maintained through seawater while stirring evenly through the stirring blades 2 to separate and remove diatoms.

The freshness-maintained seaweed algae then reaches a dehydrator 9 via a pipe 4 having a bomb 3, and the dehydrated seaweed algae is fed to a ripening machine 11.

In this ripening Ill, sufficient ripening is achieved through biochemical ripening by the warm seawater supplied here under the seaweed base and mechanical ripening which is evenly stirred through the stirring blade I2. However, this maturation is mellow and a sufficient maturing effect can be expected regardless of the short period of time. It also separates the small amount of shrimp and diatoms that remain and can remove almost all of them.

In this way, the seaweed raw algae that has been washed and matured is passed through a dehydrator 9 via a pipe 8 having a bomb 7,
The seaweed is transported to a seaweed cutting machine 10, where the washed and aged seaweed is cut into minced pieces.

The rest is almost the same as described above.

"Effects of the Invention" As detailed above, the present invention performs ripening under seaweed algae and using warm water, so ripening is achieved without draining the umami components of seaweed algae. ．． It is also an raw algae tank or ripening machine, which achieves sufficient ripening through biochemical ripening using the warm seawater supplied here and mechanical ripening through evenly stirring using stirring blades. This aging is mellow and has a sufficient aging effect even in a short period of time. I can. It also separates the small amount of shrimp and diatoms that remain and can remove almost all of them.

Furthermore, the aging process using water, which causes the death of seaweed cells, is stopped, and warm seawater is used to ripen the seaweed cells without dying, and the structure is such that waste products are not accumulated within the seaweed cells as much as possible.

Also stirred with warm seawater I'4! This is a ripening method that takes advantage of the synergistic effect with the blades, achieving reductions in the time required for ripening and increased efficiency.
