Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a stick food of handy shape by an efficient and simple method by feeding a food of stuffing comprising an edible base material onto an edible film as a covering material, rolling the food into a bar state while compressing and cutting. CONSTITUTION:A material especially comprising vegetable or animal protein, having proper expansion moldable particularly into a circular section is used as an edible base material. A water-soluble protein such as soluble starch formed from a natural component is used as an edible film. Then, first the edible base material pretreated into a sheet-like or fibrous state, for example, used as a food of stuffing is rolled in the edible film and molded into a stick state while being compression molded into a cylindrical state of 5-12mm diameter. Then the film wrapping parts of the molded article are bonded and the food is cut into 5-12cm length to give the objective stick food of handy shape.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a method for producing stick foods.

(Prior Art) Confectionery, snack foods, and nutritious health foods have conventionally been widely produced and sold as handy foods shaped into rods. When manufacturing these rod-shaped molded foods, the edible base material is molded by a molding method such as molding, injection molding, cut molding, etc., and then covered with a packaging material. However, a roll-up molding using an edible film as a covering material has not been manufactured.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Therefore, the present invention provides an efficient and simple method for producing a handy-shaped stick food product in which an edible base material is formed into a stick shape and covered with an edible film. The purpose is to provide a manufacturing method that can.

In order to achieve this objective, the present invention is characterized in that a stick food product in a handy shape is manufactured by compression molding an edible base material into a rod shape and rolling up and molding an edible film as a covering material. It is said that

The stick foods thus obtained are suitable as snack foods, appetizer foods, and health foods.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The method for producing a stick food according to the present invention includes pre-treating an edible base material into a sheet shape, fiber shape, scratch shape, etc., compression molding it into a rod shape, and then forming an edible film. The method consists of rolling up and forming the film as a covering material, gluing the film wrap portion and cutting it into a predetermined length.

The edible base material that can be used in this invention is not limited in any way as long as it can be eaten as a stick food, that is, a handy long and thin stick food, and in particular, it can be made from plants or animals. Any protein or other edible material may be used, but materials with appropriate swelling properties are particularly preferred so that they can be molded with good roundness in cross section. It is also generally desirable to add various flavors to these edible base materials.

The edible film used in this invention is not limited to any particular edible film, but it is preferable to use an edible film produced from natural ingredients. The materials that make up this edible film include:
For example, water-soluble substances such as soluble starch, water-soluble protein, and water-soluble natural polysaccharides; gelatinous substances such as gelatin, carrageenan, and agar; water-insoluble substances such as soybean protein, gluten, and collagen; maltitol, and sorbitol; Examples of moisturizing substances include pullulan, which is a derivative of glucose, which is a type of natural polyester, and films improved from pullulan (pullulan-gelatin film, pullulan-carrageenan (or natural gum) film), etc. .

In the method for manufacturing stick food according to this invention,
First, the edible base material, which has been pretreated in the form of a sheet, fiber, or scratch, is first processed into a stick shape, that is, with a diameter of 5 to 1 mm, using a filling machine or a rod forming machine.
It is possible to obtain a handy stick food by rolling up an edible film while compression molding it into a 2 mm column, gluing the film wrap and cutting it into 5 to 12 cm lengths.

The manufacturing method according to the present invention will be explained in more detail below.

As shown in FIG. 1, the apparatus used in this example was
It consists of a rod forming machine A and a food filling machine B. The rod forming machine A is composed of an edible film supply section AI, a winding and forming section A2, and a cutting section A3, and the content food supply machine B is composed of a raw material supply section Bl, a humidity control section B2, and a preforming section B3. It is configured.

First, the contents of the stick food made of edible base material are put into the raw material supply tank l that constitutes the raw material supply section Bl of the contents supply machine B, and are supplied from the raw material supply tank l to the cylinder part 2. be done. The food contents supplied to this cylinder part 2 are mixed and transferred by a screw installed inside the cylinder part 2, and are supplied to the humidity control section B2 through a nozzle 3 at the tip of this cylinder part 2. The content food supplied to this humidity control section B2 has its moisture adjusted and is then supplied to the next preforming section B3.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 (a) to (e), in the winding forming section A2 of the rod forming machine A, the edible film 6 is transferred from the edible film supply section AI to a garniture table 7 driven by a tape drum. The edible film 6 is fed so as to overlap with the garniture tape 7, and the edible film 6 is moved at the same constant speed as the garniture tape 7. on the other hand,
The food contents preformed in the above preforming section B3 are
It is continuously fed through the tongs 5 onto the edible film 6 so as to have a constant packing density. Grooves are provided on the inner surface of the tongs 5, as shown in FIG. 2(a), to facilitate sliding of the food inside.

As the edible film 6 and the garniture tape 7 overlap and move in an accompanying state, both edges are successively rolled up by the bottom 8 so as to wrap around the food inside. In addition,
The width of the garniture tape 7 is made narrower than the width of the edible film 6, so that an adhesive nozzle 9 and an iron 11, which will be described later, can be provided therein. As shown in FIG. 2(b), the bottom 8 guides the edible film 6 so that one edge first covers the food inside, and the other edge is vertical. The adhesive is applied to the inner lap portion by the adhesive nozzle 9. As the edible film 6 moves through the roll-up forming section, the second
As shown in FIG. The wrap portion coated with the adhesive is superimposed on the wrap portion of the other end edge portion, and the wrap portions are joined together. Next, as shown in FIG. 2(d), the joined edible film wraps are crimped and heated by an iron 11 to completely adhere, and a rod of stick food with a perfect circular cross section is formed. ) is formed.

If the lap portions of the edible film 6 can be fused by heat sealing, the application of the adhesive shown in FIG. , as shown in FIG. 2(d), is pressed and heat-sealed with an iron 11 to form a stick food rod.

As shown in FIG. 2(,e), the rod formed in this way is released from the accompanying state with the garniture table 7 by the guide 12, is supplied to the cutting part A3, and is cut into a certain length at the intermediate part. By cutting, a handy-shaped stick food a is obtained.

(Effects of the Invention) The method for producing a stick food according to the present invention can manufacture a stick food by rolling up an edible film while compression molding an edible base material, so the process can be carried out continuously. It is extremely industrially advantageous.

In addition, the obtained stick food is a novel product that is smart, compact, and portable as a snack food, appetizer food, health food, etc., and is a fashionable food that does not get your hands dirty. Furthermore, it is an extremely handy stick food that can be eaten anytime and anywhere due to its packaging. In addition, stick foods as health foods are high-calorie, convenient foods with good nutritional balance, and are extremely useful as they can be used as functional foods based on nourishment and tonicity.
