JPS60164460A - Preparation of date powder - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce date powder having high nutritive value and mixable easily to various foods, by removing the seed from the fruit of date, and drying and pulverizing the fruit. CONSTITUTION:Seed is removed from the selected data fruit, and the fruit is dried by hot-air drying, etc. and pulverized to obtain the objective powder. The removal of the seed from the fruit is carried out preferably by converting the skin and pulp of the fruit to a pasty state with a steaming cooker, etc., and separating the seed by centrifugal separation, etc.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for processing dates into powder for widespread use.

Date palm fruits are produced in Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc., and are highly nutritious, especially minerals such as iron and calcium, and vitamin B1. It is a food extremely rich in B. However, its use is still very underdeveloped, and it has only been used to separate the fruit juice and use it as an ingredient in sauces, sauces, etc., and has not yet been used on a full-scale basis for various foods.

The present invention was developed for the purpose of processing date palm fruit into powder so that it can be easily mixed into various foods for use.

That is, the present invention involves removing seeds from date palm fruit,
Next, the date palm that is dried and crushed will be explained in detail.

First, prepare the dates. The fruit is taken out of a transport bag, etc., washed with water on a mesh conveyor, etc., and foreign matter such as earth and sand is removed and sorted before use.

Next, remove the seeds from this fruit. This is because the seeds are extremely hard and leaving them behind will cause problems in the subsequent grinding process. This work can be done by hand if the number of fruits is small, but if there are a large number of fruits, as shown in the figure, the nodule-shaped fruits are blistered using a crusher, water is added, and a mixing machine is used to mix them. This may be carried out by mixing, adding water and steam, turning the skin and pulp into a paste using a steamer, and centrifuging the seeds using a seed pulper. Furthermore, after this, foreign matter such as fine earth and sand is centrifuged and removed using a pulver finisher.

Next, after removing the seeds, the paste-like pulp and epidermis are dried. In order to facilitate drying, this process first separates the liquid using a fill-couple press, takes out only the solid content, and performs the first drying process using a hot air dryer, etc., and then adds the liquid and repeats the drying process. This is carried out by performing a second drying using a hot air dryer or the like. A portion of the liquid separated from the filter press is returned to the mixing minler and the steaming cooker for recirculation.

Next, crush the skin of this fruit. That is, after taking it out of the dryer and leaving it to cool in a storage tank, it is roughly crushed in a crusher, then refrigerated at about 10°C or less to make it easier to crush, and further crushed in a fine crusher to produce date flour. and complete it.

The date flour produced in this way can be easily mixed into various foods, such as wheat flour to make bread or kutski.

As described above, according to the present invention, date palm fruit is processed into powder, so it can be used in a variety of ways.

Various health foods can be manufactured using the excellent nutrition of date palm fruits.
