JPH03198760A - Production of preservable food of bean-cured refuse dish - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a mass-producible bean-curd refuse dish preservable for a long period by mixing bean-curd refuse with a mashed pumpkin, Hijikia fusiformis and a seasoning, subjecting the resultant material to mixing treatment, hermetically sealing the prepared mixture in a heat-resistant container, housing the container in a heating pressure vessel and subjecting the mixture to heating sterilization treatment. CONSTITUTION:Bean-curd refuse, a pumpkin liquefied in a mixer and raw Hijikia fusiformis washed with water are weighed so as to provide about (4:4:2) weight ratio and a prescribed seasoning is added and mixed therewith. The materials after mixing in each adequate amount are then contained in a heat- resistant baglike container and vacuum packaged utilizing a well-known vacuum packaging machine. The resultant package is subsequently housed in a conventional well-known heating pressure vessel and subjected to heating sterilization treatment at a prescribed temperature under a prescribed atmospheric pressure. After the lapse of a prescribed time, the package is taken out of the heating pressure vessel and naturally cooled.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for producing preserved okara dishes using okara as a main ingredient.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, dishes based on okara have been known as simply wrapping cooked okara in a container, and are sold at food counters in supermarkets and the like.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Conventional okara dishes are simply packed with cooked okara in a container, and therefore cannot be stored for a long period of time.

In addition, okara is highly nutritious and despite its low price,
It had the disadvantage that it was difficult to consume as food due to its poor color after cooking.

Another drawback was that it could not be stored for long periods of time.

The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a method for producing preserved okara dishes.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention consists of the following processing steps.

(Function) In the mixing process, okara, pumpkin, hijiki, and seasoning are mixed together.

In the filling process, the mixed materials are directly packed into a heat-resistant container and sealed.

Next, in the heat sterilization process, the contents of the heat-resistant container are heated in a heating and pressurizing pot. Therefore, by this heating, main cooking and sterilization of the contents proceed simultaneously, and a cooked retort food is completed.

(Example) Examples of the present invention will be described.

First, prepare the main ingredients, okara, liquefied Kapochi Rei in a mixer, and washed raw hijiki. Next, the weight ratio of okara, Kabochi Ichi, and Hijiki is 4:4.
: Weigh with a scale so that it is 2. After weighing, these are placed in a container, etc., and a predetermined seasoning is added and stirred to mix them together.

Next, an appropriate amount of the mixed raw materials is placed in a heat-resistant bag-like container such as a retort pouch, and vacuum-packed using a conventionally known vacuum packaging machine.

Then, the package is placed in a conventional, well-known heating and pressurizing pot, and the temperature inside the pot is brought to a predetermined temperature, for example, around 121°C, and the pressure inside the pot is set to 0, for example, with respect to atmospheric pressure. At a predetermined atmospheric pressure such as .2 atm to 2.0 atm, and at this predetermined temperature and predetermined pressure, for example, 6 to 10
Heat sterilization is performed for a predetermined period of minutes.

When heat sterilization is performed in this manner, main cooking and sterilization of the contents proceed simultaneously by heating.

After a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the packaged product is taken out of the heated and pressurized pot and allowed to cool naturally. Due to the inclusion of pumpkin, the color of the packaged product becomes unbelievable for a dish based mainly on okara. Therefore, when shipped to the market and displayed in stores, it is possible to arouse consumers' desire to purchase.

In addition, in the above example, the case where the food before heating and cooking is packed in a retort pouch is explained, but it goes without saying that the food may be packed in various heat-resistant containers such as cans and bottles instead. .

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, in the present invention, a raw material mixed mainly with okara etc. is packed into a heat-resistant container and sealed, and then the heat-resistant container is placed in a heating and pressurized pot to heat the contents. As a result, main cooking and sterilization of the contents proceed at the same time, making it possible to provide okara dishes that can be stored for a long time and can be mass-produced.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since pumpkin, which contains many vitamins, and hijiki, which has a high calcium content, are added to the low-calorie and high-fiber okara, it is possible to provide a highly nutritious okara dish.

Furthermore, in the present invention, by adding pumpkin, it is possible to create a dish with a color that is unlike that of a dish made mainly of okara, so when it is displayed on a store shelf, it can arouse the consumer's desire to purchase, and it will be used. It can solve the drawbacks of okara dishes that were rarely used.

Claims (1)
