Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to vegetables or wakame seaweed,
The present invention relates to a sheet-shaped dried plant having a nutritional value such as kelp as much as possible, and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, sheet-shaped dried laver or roasted laver is often used for hand-rolled sushi and the like. These are made of plants called green and red sows among the sows, and although they are easy to process and have a high nutritional value, they are brown or dark blue in color and their use is limited in terms of color. It had been.

[0003]

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention
The cells of land vegetables contain a large amount of carotene, chlorophyll (chlorophyll), etc. as plastids, and we paid attention to the fact that these vegetables are extremely colourful. The development of sheet-shaped vegetable nori, which is similar to dried nori and roasted nori, has been completed.
Furthermore, this development made it possible to produce dried plants in the form of sheets, even though they are the same as the green and red sows, which are difficult to process into sheets.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a thin sheet-like dried plant having suitable firmness and retaining the nutritional value and color of vegetables and cassetes, and a method for producing the same.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The method for producing a sheet-shaped dried plant of the present invention is to boil plant pieces (vegetables or cassia among the sows) cut to a predetermined size and crush the plant pieces. It is characterized in that the paste is made into a minced shape, and then the minced material is kneaded to form a paste, which is thinly spread into a sheet shape and dried.

The method for producing a sheet-shaped dried plant of the present invention comprises:
A predetermined amount of water in the paste is removed, and then water is added to the paste to further knead the starch to a thin paste,
It is preferable that the paste is thinly spread in a sheet shape and dried.

The method for producing a sheet-shaped dried plant of the present invention comprises:
It is preferable that a predetermined amount of paste is supplied onto the water-permeable sheet and air is sucked from below the water-permeable sheet so that the paste has a uniform thickness and spread.

The method for producing a sheet-shaped dried plant of the present invention comprises:
After sucking the water-permeable sheet from below, it is preferable to lower the press plate from above the paste so that the paste is processed to a more uniform thickness.

The method for producing a sheet-shaped dried plant of the present invention comprises:
Using at least two kinds of plants having different pigments, first paste is poured into a plate body in which a pattern or letter shape is hollowed out, then the plate body is removed, and the other paste is formed on it to form a multilayer. Thus, it is preferable that the sheets are supplied in layers, thinly spread in a sheet shape, and dried.

The sheet-shaped dried plant of the present invention comprises a starch paste prepared by gelatinizing a fibrin of ground plant pieces (vegetables or Duckweeds among the sows) and starch contained in the same plant as described above. Is a thin sheet made of a kneaded product with the dye, and is characterized in that this sheet is dried.

In the sheet-shaped dry plant of the present invention, at least two kinds of pastes having different pigments are laminated in layers so as to form a pattern or a character depending on the contrast of each other, or have respective regions. It is preferable.

[0012]

[Action] After the plant is cut, it is boiled so that the outer coat of the starch powder in the plant is easily broken, and this is crushed into a minced form and then kneaded to remove the outer coat of the starch. It begins to tear and gelatinize, and becomes a paste. Since the fibrin and pigment pieces of the plant are mixed almost uniformly in this paste, by spreading this paste thinly and drying it, it has appropriate hardness and texture, and it has the nutrients of the plant itself. It is possible to produce a sheet-shaped dried plant having a color.

When a predetermined amount of water in the paste is removed and water is added and kneading is performed, the starch in the paste is removed together with a predetermined amount of water, and the added water adjusts the starch to an optimum ratio. It is possible to obtain a paste that can be easily processed into a sheet shape by using any kind of vegetables.

Although the paste does not spread thinly just by dropping and supplying it onto the water-permeable sheet, air suction from below can spread the paste to a uniform thickness and stabilize it.

When the paste is temporarily pressed between the press plate and the water-permeable sheet after air suction, the paste has a more uniform wall thickness.

By using at least two kinds of pastes having different pigments and superposing them, it is possible to easily produce a sheet-shaped dried plant having a contrast of pigments.

A dry sheet made of a kneaded product of fibrin, starch paste and pigment contained in the same plant can give various plant colors and the fibrin can give the same texture as seaweed and has a nutritional value. Since it is also high, this sheet-shaped dried plant is extremely excellent in application.

By adhering at least two kinds of pastes having different pigments, or by providing each area with contrast, it is possible to obtain a colorful sheet-shaped dried plant having characters and patterns.
