JPH057472A - Production of ume flesh granule - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain UME (Japanese apricot) flesh granules having a high yield of material, purity free from admixture at all, high effects in terms of health, ready handleability and long-term shelf stability by crushing flesh of unripe UME by a mixer and specifically treating the ground flesh. CONSTITUTION:First, unripe UME is separated into seeds and UME flesh, the UME flesh is ground by a mixer. Then the ground UME flesh is put in an enameled pot and boiled by a low fire while stirring with an agitating rod. The UME flesh is boiled until the agitating rod is slightly moved, the UME flesh is dried in the sun into a fairly dried state. Successively the dried UME flesh is formed into a bar state with 1cm diameter, cut into a fixed length so as to give a product having a size of adzuki bean and rounded. Finally the rounded UME flesh is further dried in the sun until the UME flesh becomes a dried state suitable for preservation.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing plum meat grains.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is well known that ume fruit contains citric acid and therefore has a strong antibacterial property, improves the balance of bacteria in the intestine to help increase appetite, and is healthy for a long time. A product that looks like this and is very similar to that of the present invention has already been sold under the name of "Umetan", but the manufacturing method is completely different from that of the present invention as described below.

[0003]

[Means to be Solved by the Invention] The above-mentioned Umetan is, in a nutshell, a substance in which plum extract is hardened with starch. Traditionally, the production of ume extract starts with the work of squeezing the ume, but at that time a large amount of squeezed residue is produced. This means that only a small amount of plum extract can be obtained, which results in poor yield and high price. Therefore, starch is added to this plum extract to increase the amount, but as a result, the health benefits are greatly reduced, and the effects are inevitably thin. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional products, and an object of the present invention is to obtain a plum grain having high health effects, high reliability, easy handling, and long-term storage. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing ume meat grains, which can be widely used as a raw material in which large and small ume fruits are selected and which has a high yield of the material throughout the production process, and therefore can reduce the production cost. Is one.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] To achieve the above object, in the method for producing plum meat grains according to the present invention, the following steps are performed: (1) Ome is compressed by a method of seed and plum meat. And separate. (2) Crush this plum meat with a mixer. (3) Put the crushed plums in the enamel pot, and simmer over low heat while mixing with a mixing stick. (4) About the degree of boiling, boil until the mixing stick becomes difficult to move. (5) Then, dry under the sun. (6) In a considerably dried state, this is molded into a rod shape having a diameter of about 1 cm. (7) This is cut into a certain length to be a large-sized adzuki bean product and rounded. (8) until the rolled product is in a dry state suitable for storage,
Dry under the sun. It is characterized by including the above steps.

[0005]

[Function] The plum fruit to be used does not interfere even if mixed with large and small grains, so it does not require sorting and the like when harvesting, and it is easy and easy. However, if the fruit is not in the so-called Ome state, the work of separating the plum and the seed by the compression method is difficult. Then need to be stored. Generally, there are many rainy days in the plum harvest season, and Ome contains a large amount of citric acid, so molds are particularly likely to occur, so molds should be put in the refrigerator to cause mold. It is necessary to prevent this as much as possible.

[0006]

[Example] During the above-mentioned manufacturing process, when crushing plum meat with a mixer, it is easy to crush it by adding a small amount of water. Can take a long time,
It is better not to exceed an appropriate amount. Also, in the process of finishing the last shape, it is difficult to work if it is too dry, so
Care should be taken to remove the material from the surface so that the back does not dry.

[0007]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the method for producing plum grains according to the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following excellent effects. (1) It is possible to obtain a pure plum product without any salt and other impurities. (2) A product with high health effects, high reliability, easy handling, and long-term storage can be produced. (3) All fruits can be widely used as raw materials without selecting the size of plum fruits. Therefore, the yield of the material is good throughout the manufacturing process, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Claims (1)

Claims: (1) Ome is separated into seeds and plums by a compression method. (2) Crush this plum meat with a mixer. (3) Put the crushed plums in the enamel pot, and simmer over low heat while mixing with a mixing stick. (4) About the degree of boiling, boil until the mixing stick becomes difficult to move. (5) Then, dry under the sun. (6) In a considerably dried state, this is molded into a rod shape having a diameter of about 1 cm. (7) This is cut into a certain length to be a large-sized adzuki bean product and rounded. (8) until the rolled product is in a dry state suitable for storage,
Dry under the sun. A method for producing a plum grain, comprising the above steps.
