JPH0714890U - Processed green onion - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Structure] The processed green onion, which has only the main body part due to the cutting off of the leaf tips and roots. [Effect] It is possible to mechanically remove dead leaves at the tip of the leaves and root bending at the roots, and save labor for green onion processing by producers and processors. In addition, the yield of green onions can be improved.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a processed green onion comprising a green onion main body in which leaf tips and roots are cut. The processed green onion of the present invention can be used by a processor to improve the yield.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, green onions harvested by green onion farmers are adjusted, and then the dead parts of the leaf tips are picked up by hand one by one and divided into L, M, and S sizes according to the diameter of the green onions. It was delivered to a processor after classing it. The processor selected defective products such as root curl from the delivered green onions, discards them, and packages only good products into products for supply to the market. In such a conventional process, the root-curved product is removed as a defective product, and therefore the yield is low at less than 75% at the stage of commercialization, and the production work of removing dead leaves at the tip of the leaf is manually performed by producing farmers. However, it takes time for the processor to select defective products.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention improves the production process of green onion products with the intention of improving the yield when producing green onions, and labor-saving work of removing leaf tip withering and sorting of defective products. I examined what to do. As a result, root curls mostly occur near the roots and withering near the leaf tips.If these are mechanically removed beforehand, the root curls, which were previously considered to be defective products, will have sufficient market value as products. However, we have completed the present invention by discovering that it is no longer necessary to sort out defective products and that the removal of dead can be done automatically. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a processed green onion having a high yield when used. Further, an object of the present invention is to provide a processed green onion in which a green onion farmer or a processor can save the troublesome work required for processing green onions.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, the root green and the leaf tips of the harvested green onions are mechanically cut with a knife without selecting defective products such as bent roots, and only the green onion main body is processed green onion. Solved the problem.

[0005]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, the production yield is improved to 95% or more by the above-mentioned constitution, and the withering and root bending of leaf tips are mechanically cut and removed. Get rid of.

【Example】

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described by way of examples with reference to the drawings. The processed green onion of the present invention is shown as a processed green onion body 1 in FIG. The green onion (1) harvested by the green onion farms was removed from the adhering mud, and then the diameter (d) and length (l) of the part 3 to 5 cm from the root of the green onion were removed, as shown in Fig. 3. Accordingly, L size (diameter d ₁ about 6 to ₁₀ mm, length l ₃ about 70 cm), M size (diameter d ₂ about 3 to 5 mm, length l ₄ about 60 cm) and S size (diameter d ₃ about 2 mm) hereinafter, after being classified adjusted to l ₅ 50 cm) in length, bundled together relative to the base as one unit 100~200g without a sorting child a defective root bending etc., urchin roots near by that shown in FIG 2 Is cut from the root to a length l ₁ , and the vicinity of the leaf tip is cut from the leaf tip to a length l ₂ . The cutting lengths l ₁ and l ₂ differ depending on the above L, M, and S standards, but most of the withered leaf tips are 10 cm or less from the tip, and most of the root bends are 4 cm or less from the root. Therefore, l ₁ is about 4 cm or less and l ₂ is about 10 cm or less. Although not shown, the cutting step is preferably a sharp knife so as not to damage the cut end, and may be appropriately selected depending on the throughput such as a shearing knife such as a kitchen knife or a disk-shaped rotary blade. It is also possible to place green onion on a transfer device such as a conveyor and cut the green onion while moving it with a cutting device provided in the middle of the conveyor. In addition, it is preferable to cut the leaf tip portion and the root portion at the same time in terms of work efficiency, but they may be cut separately. In addition, these may be individually cut into scallions one by one, or may be cut into a large amount in a bundle. The processed green onions (1) thus cut and separated in the vicinity of the leaf tips (3) and the vicinity of the roots (4) are collected in units of 3 to 5 kg and made of expanded styrene as shown in FIG. It is packed in a box 5 and shipped to a processor.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 With the present invention, since the onion-producing farmer cuts not only the root-curved products but also the normal products from the leaf tips and roots, the quantity is slightly reduced, but since the root-cured products are also products, the commercialization rate is greatly improved. As a result, it can lead to increased production. In addition, since leaf tip withering can be mechanically removed and a fixed length of processed leek can be obtained, work efficiency such as box packing can be improved and labor costs can be reduced. In addition, the processor also improves the productization rate by reducing the number of defective products, and the labor for sorting defective products is reduced, which reduces labor costs. As described above, the processed green onion of the present invention is very useful for green onion growers and processors.
