Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a processed food of papaya tea capable of processing without impairing active ingredient of papaya and excellent in keeping quality. SOLUTION: Papaya is washed with water and vertically cut along flesh so as to have 1mm to 3mm flesh thickness and 10mm to 40mm flesh width and dried by sunlight or forcibly until residual water content becomes 5-10% based on the water content when cut. The dried fine pieces are baked at 60-120 deg.C iron plate temperature to provide the objective dark brown nice-smell papaya tea. The dried fine pieces are formed into powder without baking to provide the objective blue and milk-white papaya powder, which can widely be utilized as seasoned dried food for sprinkling, cake material, etc.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to papaya tea, papaya processed food, and a method for producing papaya using papaya conventionally eaten as fruits and vegetables.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Papaya has a genus name Carica.
It is native to tropical America, is vegetated in warm climate zones such as Okinawa in Japan, and is cultivated irrespective of the soil quality. Ripe fruits contain proteolytic enzymes such as papain, seeds containing fatty oils, and minerals such as vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium and other natural ingredients that are effective for health. It is said that it is effective for diabetes, anemia, constipation, lactation, poisoning cystitis of fish, athlete's foot, insects, etc. It is used as a raw food or as a juice.
%) And are eaten by slicing and roasting. However, the ingredients contained in the immature fruits were not used as processed foods that made the most of the ingredients.

[0003]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention was invented by the inventor paying attention to the above-mentioned circumstances, and can be processed without impairing the active ingredient of papaya which has not been conventionally used as processed food; and The goal is to obtain processed foods that can be stored for a long time and eat easily. Specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide a processed papaya food processed into tea or sprinkle or the like, which is easily and easily consumed on a daily basis, and a method for producing the same.

[0004]

As described above, papaya is a fruit containing a large amount of components that are extremely effective for the human body.
As a fruit, fruits and vegetables have a strong image as fried vegetables, and it was never considered to process and use them as tea or other processed foods.

[0005] In the course of studying the use of papaya, the present invention is based on the idea that papaya is processed into tea, and various experiments have been repeated to arrive at the present invention. The papaya tea of the present invention that has solved the above-mentioned problems is characterized in that a small piece obtained by cutting papaya is dried and roasted, and a papaya tea with a fragrant smell is obtained.

[0006] In addition, papaya cut flakes are dried to be powdered to obtain a milky white papaya powder, and a processed food material which can be sprinkled or mixed with confectionery such as castella is obtained.

The former papaya tea is obtained by washing papaya, dividing the fruits and vegetables vertically, cutting vertically along the pulp to a pulp thickness of 1 mm to 3 mm or a pulp width of 10 mm to 40 mm. 5-1 for cutting a piece
0% by weight, and the dried strips can be manufactured by roasting the iron plate at a temperature of 60 to 120 ° C. for about 5 to 15 minutes. Can be produced by passing the dried flakes into a fine powder.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail. First, the manufacturing process of papaya tea in the case of roasted tea will be described with reference to FIG. The harvested papaya is washed as a pretreatment, and foreign matter such as soil and pesticides attached to the fruit is carefully washed away and divided vertically. The internal species are small and do not need to be removed because they are high in active ingredients.

[0009] The papaya, which has been subjected to the pretreatment, has a pulp thickness of 1 mm.
Cut vertically along the pulp to a pulp width of 10 mm to 40 mm to a ３3 mm. Next, drying is performed until the residual moisture is in the range of 5 to 10%.

As a drying method, an appropriate drying method can be adopted. For example, the cut papaya is spread thinly on a plate and a cover so as not to overlap, and dried on the sun for about two days to dry to the above-mentioned range. .

[00011] Another method is to use a hot air drier for 35%.
Drying can be performed efficiently in a short period of time by forced drying, such as drying by applying hot air of up to 125 ° C. Then, papaya dried in the above range is heated to an iron plate temperature of 6.
By roasting at a temperature of 0 to 120 ° C. for about 5 to 15 minutes, papaya tea having a dark brown fragrant smell can be obtained.

In the following example, cut papaya
Time sun drying, gradually increase from 60 ° C with pan to maximum 1
This is an example in which roasted tea is manufactured by raising the temperature to 20 ° C., where the weight after cutting is taken as 100%, the degree of weight reduction immediately after each subsequent step is shown, and the relationship between the dryness and roasting time is shown. In sun drying, the degree of weight loss and the roasting time are always related to the sunshine time, temperature, humidity, etc. of the day. Example 1 Weight (g) Weight ratio (%) Raw material papaya (immature fruit) 500 g 100% When cutting 500 g 100% After drying 50 g 10% After roasting 10 minutes 40 g 8% of papaya obtained as described above The color of the tea was dark brown and it smelled savory, and the taste was mellow, and the taste was mellow and could be tasted as well as the tea on the market. Then, as a result of conducting a component analysis on the mineral components of the obtained roasted papaya tea, as a result,
The amounts shown in Table 1 were included, and it was confirmed that the tea was rich in minerals and contained an extremely effective ingredient for the human body.

[Table 1]

Example 2 After the above-mentioned cut papaya flakes were dried, 50 g were taken and crushed to obtain an equal amount of fine powder. We put it in confectionery and used it as an ingredient, and when we cooked it, we were able to eat it deliciously.

[00014]

As described above, according to the present invention, papaya which has not been conventionally used as processed food can be processed without losing its active ingredient, and a processed food which can be preserved can be obtained. Alternatively, it can be used as a food material such as confectionery and the like, and the use range of papaya can be further expanded. Further, the processed papaya food obtained by the present invention is expected to contribute to the elimination of the unused land as a high value-added agricultural product of local agriculture in the future due to stable productivity.
