JPS6029462B2 - Paste of shrimp heads, etc. - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a shrimp head paste made from shrimp heads, shells, tails, and other parts that are normally discarded when producing frozen shrimp.

In general, shrimp is a delicious meat, so in Japan it is preferably used as an ingredient in various dishes such as fried pork belly.

However, in recent years, shrimp caught off the coasts of Japan alone do not meet the demand in Japan, and large quantities of shrimp caught in foreign countries have been imported. In this case, in order to prevent the shrimp from deteriorating in freshness, the shrimp are usually frozen after being caught. When producing this frozen shrimp, parts of the shrimp that are not suitable for general consumption, such as heads and tails, reach 1/the nutritional value of the total volume, which increases the cost of transportation, so they are removed and discarded. It was used as feed for ducks, etc., and as a base for soup stock.

Furthermore, in Japan, attempts have been made to dry and powderize the discarded parts of these shrimps, but the taste of the shrimps has disappeared, making them unsuitable for consumption. As described above, a large amount of waste parts such as heads and tails generated during the production of frozen shrimp have not been effectively utilized.
However, the heads of the shrimp have miso, etc., which makes them very delicious.

This is evident from the fact that even in restaurants in Japan, shrimp heads are now grilled or fried in oil. Therefore, as long as the freshness of the shrimp does not deteriorate, it has some useful value, but it is clear that it would be expensive to freeze the shrimp, so no one had ever tried it.

As mentioned above, the present inventor conducted research on how to utilize the discarded parts of shrimp, such as heads and tails, which are cut off and not used effectively when freezing shrimp, and completed the present invention. That's what I came to do.

The gist of the present invention is to deep-fry the discarded parts such as shrimp heads and tails,
It is found in a paste made from shrimp heads, which are then ground.

The discarded parts such as heads and tails of shrimp used in the present invention refer to parts that are discarded when manufacturing frozen shrimp, and depending on the method of manufacturing frozen shrimp, only the head, the tail, etc. Various waste parts can be used, such as the head, shell, tail, etc.

Moreover, each discarded part can be used singly or in a mixed state. In order to produce frozen shrimp, it is frozen after being caught before it loses its freshness, but it goes without saying that the waste shrimp used in the present invention is also fresh. The above-mentioned fresh heads, tails, shells, etc. are washed with water, drained, and then fried in oil. This deep-frying may be carried out for about 2 minutes at an oil temperature of about 160 qo.

This deep-frying process reduces the amount of water in the discarded portion of the raw shrimp to 2~
However, unlike when dried, the unique taste of shrimp heads does not disappear. This fried head,
The tails and the like are first roughly cut into approximately 10 mesh pieces using a mincing machine, and then ground using a micron grinder to form a paste.

Note that, of course, depending on the size of the waste portion, the rough cutting step can be omitted. The shrimp head paste of the present invention produced in this way retains the unique flavor of shrimp heads, and since it is in paste form, the contents are protected by an oil film. First of all, it allows for long-term storage. The product of the present invention can be produced at a very low cost and is suitable for use in making shrimp soup, etc. Also, if used as a raw material for processed foods such as paste products, it is inexpensive and can be expected to have a unique flavor. Even when you eat it, you can enjoy a taste that has never been seen before. The present invention will be explained in more detail below by way of examples.

Example Discarded parts lk9 such as heads and tails cut from freshly caught shrimp were washed with water, drained, and fried for 2 minutes in palm oil containing 160 qo of oil and salt.

A small amount of palm oil is added to the discarded portion of the fried shrimp, which is then roughly chopped into approximately 10 mesh pieces using a regular mincing machine, and then ground into a paste using a micro grinder (manufactured by Harada Sangyo ■). did. This shrimp head paste was delicious as a soup when dissolved, and was also suitable as a raw material for foods such as paste products, and even when eaten as is, it had an unprecedented flavor.
