Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain common salt containing an extract of bamboo and rich in natural taste. CONSTITUTION:This method for producing common salt is to carry out a step for packing natural salt 2 into a cylinder 1 of bamboo and placing a cover 3 using clay, a step for baking bamboo on the outside at a high temperature until bamboo on the outside is burned out and a step for breaking a baked and solidified salt 2 into powder and repeat these processes by proper times in the same manner as above, a step for processing firmly solidified salt 2 packed in bamboo and baked at last stage into fine powder.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing salt.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, salt is produced by making equipment (salt field) similar to a rice field or a pond on a beach, adding seawater and evaporating and concentrating by solar heat. However, it is difficult to obtain salt crystals only by this process. In this case, the concentrated solution (mother liquor) of seawater is further concentrated by an evaporator.

By the way, in order to enhance the umami taste of salt as a seasoning, sodium glutamate is added to its ingredients, but there is a dislike that the umami taste is artificial and lacks a natural flavor. It was

The present invention has been made in consideration of such problems, and an object thereof is to provide salt having a rich natural flavor.

[0005]

Therefore, according to the present invention, in the method for producing salt according to the present invention, a step of filling a bamboo cylinder with natural salt and covering with a clay, and a step of baking this at a high temperature until the outer bamboo burns out. And the process of crushing the salt hardened by this into powder, and repeating this process for this salt a proper number of times, and in the last stage stuffing in bamboo and baking to harden the salt into a fine powder. It is characterized by comprising the step of

[0006]

According to this, when the bamboo burns, the extract oozes out, and the natural salt is steamed in the tube at a high temperature.
By repeating this many times, the bamboo extract permeates the salt component, and eventually salt that gives off a rich and rich natural flavor is obtained.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an embodiment of the present invention. First, bamboo is cut to form a cylinder 1 having a knot as the bottom. The cylinder 1 is filled with the natural salt 2 almost completely (Figs. A and b). Here, the natural salt refers to a crude salt that is crystallized by evaporation of seawater (unpurified, containing a large amount of seawater minerals and the like).

The clay 2 made of red clay is packed on the salt 2 packed in the cylinder 1 without any gap, and the opening of the cylinder 1 is closed with a clay lid (FIG. C). In this way, the bamboo cylinder 1 packed with the natural salt 2 is prepared in the kiln in such a number that can be simultaneously processed.

Then, these are placed in a kiln and baked with the clay lid 3 facing upward at a high temperature (1300 to 2000 ° C.) until the outer bamboo is burned out (FIG. D). When the bamboo burns, the extract oozes out, and the natural salt 2 is steamed in the tube 1 at a high temperature. Pine firewood is the most preferable fuel for the kiln.

When the bamboo on the outside burns out, the kiln is turned off, leaving behind a clay lid 3 and a block of baked salt 2 (Fig. E). These are taken out of the kiln, the ash is blown off, the clay lid 3 is removed, and the lumps of salt 2 are crushed into powder (FIG. F).

This salt was treated with the same volume and the same amount (packed in a bamboo tube 1 and covered with a clay lid 3 and baked at high temperature until the bamboo burned out in a kiln, and the solidified salt 2 lumps were taken out and powdered. The crushing step) is repeated an appropriate number of times (Figs. G to h).

It is best to repeat these treatments about 8 to 9 times, and as the number of times advances, the mass of salt 2 to be baked and hardened gradually becomes ceramic and hard. And
At the last stage, it is packed in bamboo and baked, and the hardened salt 2 is crushed into fine powder (Fig. I).

As described above, the natural salt 2 is used as a raw material and packed in the bamboo tube 1 and baked at a high temperature to crush the solidified salt 2 into powder, which is then packed in the bamboo tube 1 again. By repeating baking at high temperature, bamboo extract penetrates into the salt component,
You can obtain salt that brings out the rich and rich flavor of nature.

Although this salt is used, it may be used not only as a seasoning but also as a seasoning by dissolving it in water or hot water.

[0015]

In summary, according to the present invention, according to the present invention, a bamboo tube is filled with natural salt and the lid is covered with clay, and the bamboo is burnt at a high temperature until the outer bamboo burns out. It consists of the steps of crushing the salt into powder and repeating this step for this salt an appropriate number of times in the same manner, and at the last stage packing bamboo and baking to harden the hardened salt into a fine powder. Through the process, it is possible to obtain natural rich flavorful salt containing bamboo extract.
