BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to ready-to-eat foods (preserved processed foods, instant foods) which can be immediately consumed by the purchaser without any special modification.
In particular, a liquid / liquid material is contained inside a solid outer layer, and usually, the liquid / liquid material contained inside leaks to the outside (out of the solid outer layer). The outer layer portion does not get wet or wet by the liquid or liquid contained in the inside, while when a person eats this food, the outer layer portion in the solid state is contained in the inside. Preserved processed food that can be eaten without having to add a liquid such as an attached source from the outside to the solid outer layer part because it can simultaneously taste the liquid and liquid material About instant food.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Foods that are simple to make, nourishing, tasty, and safe for long periods of time without wetting or wetting any solid outer parts and without causing any contamination The demand for foods that can be quickly prepared for use as ready-made foods (preserved processed foods, ready-to-eat foods) having a liquid therein that can be stored in
Always exists. In particular, by providing a flavored seasoning sauce and the like at the same time with ready-made foods (preserved processed foods, instant foods) without having to separately manufacture and store a flavored liquid or seasoned sauce, It would be highly desirable to improve the availability of (preserved processed foods, ready-to-eat foods). Such improvements would be most welcome in environments where it is highly valued to make food products to preserve and enhance the natural flavor of food components.

[0003] Conventionally known foods include bread,
It is necessary to prepare solid ingredients such as cooked rice or cheese separately, and then prepare savory liquids and liquids such as sauces such as vinegar, wine, soup, potage or cocoa, and seasoning sauces. Required. The solid component can then be dipped into the liquid / liquid, or the liquid / liquid can be hung over or painted on the solid component, as is common today.

[0004]

However, existing foods, such as main foods including bread or cooked rice, contain a liquid or liquid material having a good taste, for example, a liquid or liquid material having a good taste inside. It has never been supplied with a bag or casing consisting of a coating to be housed and stored, and a edible and edible bag or casing.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel ready-made food (preserved processed food, instant food) which did not exist before.
Wherein the outer staple portion is provided in solid form and has absorbability or permeability, and the inside thereof, in the form of a membrane,
It has an edible (edible) bag or casing that is impermeable to liquid or difficult to permeate liquid. The outer staple portion provided in the solid state and having absorbency or permeability is porous or permeable. In addition, the bag or casing present inside contains a delicious, savory liquid component or a liquid component therein.

The food product of the present invention is a main food such as a solid having the ability to absorb liquid as an outer component, such as bread, cooked cooked rice, cheese, or mashed fish meat product (for example, kamaboko). Can be used. In the present invention, since a bag or a casing containing a tasty, savory liquid or liquid is contained therein, the outer component is potentially in contact with a large amount of contained liquid. Maintained without harmful effects (eg, without being wetted, wetted, and without any contamination). That is, it is maintained that the contained liquid / liquid does not leak out (outside of the outer component) and that the solid is not wetted by the contained liquid / liquid. .

That is, it is important that the liquid or liquid material is edible, but does not permeate the liquid itself or hardly permeate the liquid. Wrapped and separated from the solid body as an outer component capable of absorbing the liquid, whereby the bread, cooked rice, cheese,
Porous in solid foods selected from mashed fish meat products and the like, on a porous, absorbent substrate, the liquid and liquid,
It is not absorbed. As a result, this new food product proposed by the present invention provides a liquid source such as a tasty liquid or semi-liquid, a dressing, a spice, a juice or other condiment present inside the food. And providing an outer food portion adapted to the liquid / liquid contained therein. The outer food portion has the ability to absorb liquids, moisture,

Liquids without making the solid food soaked or hard to touch, or without making it fragile.
It allows the liquid to be in close proximity and close proximity to bread or similar absorbent (capable of absorbing moisture) solid food. Second, the use of edible coatings and casings that are impervious or impervious to liquids, such as bread, cooked rice, cheese, and ground fish products, is a common practice today. When providing a staple food product to a purchaser (consumer) in a state where it can be eaten immediately on the spot, it is necessary to prepare a savory liquid, spice or sauce separately from the solid staple food product. Therefore, the solid staple food product must be separately provided and provided to the purchaser (consumer). " Then, the solid staple food product containing a savory liquid such as a sauce is prepared by simply thawing the frozen, cooled and stored product of the present invention and providing it to the purchaser (consumer). That is, the solid staple product and a savory liquid such as a sauce are mixed with each other by (built-in a liquid-permeable bag or casing containing the liquid in the solid staple product. ), And can be provided at the same time.

This is commercially important. This allows foods with liquids to be pre-made, stored and used as ready-made foods (preserved processed foods, ready-to-eat foods) or foods that can be made quickly when desired. Because.

[0011] Furthermore, slight changes from the composition of the food product provided herein can be made without departing from the technical scope of the present invention.
It could be done by people who are proficient in technology.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention has developed a new food product for consumption by the people and a method of making the same. Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the accompanying drawings, like features shown in multiple figures are numbered the same without description.

FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a food 10 containing a packaged liquid or liquid according to the present invention. The food 10 of this embodiment has a water-absorbent, solid, staple food product constituting the outer part, an elongated, at least partially tubular or cylindrical outer layer solid part 1 made of bread.
And a casing 14 having an inner cylindrical shape or a cylindrical shape, which does not allow liquid to permeate or hardly permeates liquid. In this embodiment, the outer solid part 12 is provided with a longitudinal cut, from which the outer wall surface 16 of the housing 14 can be seen.

As is apparent from FIG. 2, the casing 14 made of a film that is impermeable to liquid or hardly permeates liquid accommodates a liquid, semi-liquid or liquid substance 18 therein.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.
2 may be made in a C-shaped manner, with an arcuate cross section with a split G. The split G allows the consumer to see the exposed outer surface 16 of the casing 14 made of the coating.

As shown in FIG. 1, the casing 14 made of a film extends along the main longitudinal axis LL of the food product 10.
In this configuration, the first wall 20 and the second wall 22 of the solid portion 12 will ultimately receive escaping liquid 18 when the casing 14 made of the coating breaks during preparation and / or consumption. . In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the solid portion 12 is preferably bread and the liquid substance 18 is preferably honey, curry or cocoa. Further, it may be a viscous solution, or may have mushrooms, onions and the like finely chopped in the viscous solution.

The food 10 of this embodiment is a casing 14 containing a liquid, semi-liquid or liquid substance 18.
Can be manufactured by embedding in a bread seed and then baking the bread. The baked bread is also provided with a longitudinal cut, in which a casing 14 containing a liquid, semi-liquid or liquid substance 18 is provided.
Can be inserted into the product.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is a modification of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in which the cross-sectional shape of a longitudinal cut provided in the outer solid portion 32 is changed. It is. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the outer solid food part 32 surrounds (covers) a casing 14 made of a film that is impermeable to liquids or hard to penetrate liquids. However, in this embodiment, a V-shaped split G may be left between the first wall 20 and the second wall 22 for receiving the casing 14 containing a liquid such as spice therein. In this case, the split G has a width D ₁ at the surface 34 of the outer solid food portion 32 and a width D ₂ at the outer surface 16 of the coating 14. Thus, D ₂ can be zero or very close to zero.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the outer solid food portion 32 is produced by crushing, steaming, baking or fried fish like a fish product, such as a kamaboko. It may be a product. Also, the casing 1
The liquid 36 contained in 4 may be like wine, or Japanese rice wine known as sake, if desired.

Referring now to FIGS. 4 and 5, there is shown another embodiment of the new, solid food product having a edible coating and casing containing and packaging a liquid. The outer portion 40 of the food 38 can be formed not only as a solid but also as a semi-solid portion having a certain degree of viscosity and viscosity. The outer portion has such hardness that a purchaser (consumer) who purchases and eats the food of the present invention can wrap the food of the present invention in a wrapper or the like and eat it while holding it in his / her hand. That's enough. In this embodiment, the outer portion 40 is cheese and the inner casing 42, which is made of a liquid-impermeable or liquid-impermeable membrane, contains wine 44. In these embodiments shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the solid or semi-solid outer part 40 and the inner shell casing 42 are both elongated and have a hot dock-like shape, the latter being covered by the former.
