Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently produce a cottonlike mushroom capable of readily extracting components without using a pulverizer, by cutting a dried mushroom into a suitable size and making the cut pieces collide with wall surfaces to loosen fibers. CONSTITUTION:A dried mushroom is cut to give 0.5-5.0mm diameter, and the resultant cut pieces are made to collide with a wall surface and loosen fibers. A production apparatus of the cottonlike mushroom for efficiently realizing the above-mentioned production method has an almost cylindrical case 11 for housing the dried mushroom and a propeller 15 in the case 11 and used for cutting the mushroom, feeding the cut pieces from one end of the case 11 to the other end along the peripheral surface, passing the cut pieces through the central part of the case 11 and returning to the above-mentioned one end in circulation and semiannular wall surfaces 17 and 18, formed on the inner surfaces of both ends of the case 11, capable of making the mushroom collide therewith, loosening fibers and leading the pieces from the central part to the outer peripheral part or the outer peripheral part to the central part. Namely, the aimed mushroom capable of effectively extracting components can be efficiently produced without using a pulverizer.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for producing cotton-like mushrooms such as Sarunokoshikake, which are formed into cotton-like shapes so that the ingredients can be easily extracted with hot water and drunk. The present invention relates to its manufacturing equipment.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, mushrooms such as Sarunokoshikake are dried, cut into pieces, placed in an earthenware pot, etc., and boiled about three times to extract the ingredients, which are then used as a health drink.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The method for extracting this component is extremely troublesome, and a simpler method is desired.

For this reason, it is conceivable to crush mushrooms to facilitate component extraction, but since mushrooms are soft (and fibrous), they tend to clog the crusher, making crushing practically impossible.

Therefore, the present invention was devised for the purpose of obtaining mushrooms whose components can be easily extracted without using a crusher.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention takes advantage of the fact that mushrooms are fibrous, and focuses on the fact that the surface area per volume can be sufficiently increased by simply loosening the fibers and making them cotton-like, making it easier to extract the ingredients. It is something that

That is, the method for producing cotton-like mushrooms of the present invention involves cutting the dried mushrooms into pieces having a diameter of 0.5 to 5.0 m, and colliding them against a wall surface to loosen the fibers.

In addition, the apparatus for producing cotton-like mushrooms of the present invention that realizes this production method efficiently includes a substantially cylindrical case for storing dried mushrooms, and a device installed inside the case to cut the mushrooms and cut the mushrooms from one end of the case. A propeller is formed on the inner surface of both ends of the case, which collides with the mushrooms and loosens the fibers, and moves the mushrooms from the center to the outer periphery or outer periphery. It has a substantially semi-circular wall surface leading from the center to the center.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the manufacturing apparatus of the present invention will be described orally. In this device IO, 11 is a case, which has a generally cylindrical shape as a whole, is fixed with a presser metal fitting 12, and a filter lid 13 is opened to allow mushrooms 14 to be placed inside and taken out. Reference numeral 15 denotes a propeller, which is provided near the lower center of the case 11 and slightly away from the curved surface, rotates at high speed by driving a pulley 16, and sends out the air inside the case 11 and the mushroom 14 downward. Note that it is not necessary to provide a blade on the leading edge of this propeller 15. 17 and 18 are case 11
These are the wall surfaces at the upper and lower ends of the wall, both of which are formed in a substantially semicircular shape.

This device R1o therefore operates as follows.

First, the dried mushrooms 14 are placed in the case 11.

This mushroom should have a diameter of about 1 to 2 (total) or less. Next (When the propeller 15 is rotated, the mushroom 14 moves downward from the medium heat of the C case with the air, and the propeller 15
It is cut and sent downward, collides with the wall surface 17 at the lower end, is guided to the outer periphery, rises along the peripheral surface, and reaches the wall surface 18 at the upper end.
It collides with the flame, is guided again by the medium flame, descends, and circulates.

In this way, the mushroom 14 has a propeller 15 and a diameter of 1 to 21 m.
The fibers are loosened by collision with the wall surface 17 and 18, and become cotton-like.

In the production apparatus of the present invention, a propeller is used to simultaneously cut and collide mushrooms, but in the production method of the present invention, the mushrooms may be collided with a wall separately after being cut (the above-mentioned apparatus It can also be realized by other devices, and there are no scales and no more than 5. Since the cutting is done in rows 5 to make it easier to loosen the fibers, the diameter only needs to be about 0.5 to 5W.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The components of the cotton-like mushrooms produced according to the present invention can be easily extracted by simply placing them in hot water, so you can easily drink a mushroom health drink. You can use it even more easily by typing C2 like this.

In the manufacturing method of the present invention, the fibers are simply cut into two pieces with a diameter of about 0.5 to 5.0 ms and collided with a wall to loosen the fibers, so there are no defects such as clogging that occur when using a crusher. You can quickly and easily produce cotton mushrooms without having to worry about it.

Furthermore, the manufacturing apparatus of the present invention has an extremely simple structure that only has a propeller as a movable element, and has efficient operation that allows cutting and collision to proceed simultaneously, so it is highly practical.

Therefore, the present invention has a wide range of steps in order to make it possible to easily drink a health drink containing mushrooms as the main ingredient.
