JPS63256A - Charging method of barley malt ingredient for instant food - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To readily charge barley malts into an instant food container in an uniform quantity by an automatic apparatus without weighing, by cutting and dividing an edible water-soluble sheet having the barley malts sticking to the whole surface thereof for use. CONSTITUTION:Barley malts are wholly stuck to an edible water-soluble sheet, e.g. pullulan film, etc., cut and divided. The resultant cut and divided small pieces are then put in a container for instant food, e.g. cup Chinese noodles, etc. The above-mentioned barley malts are stuck to the sheet using, e.g. water.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for uniformly and mass-producing bean sprouts to be used as an ingredient in cup ramen etc. into a container thereof, and relates to such an instant food. It is used in the manufacturing process of

[Conventional technology and its problems]

In instant cup noodles, etc., it is necessary to put different ingredients mixed into the container in uniform and equal amounts, and various ingredients have already been put into the container in this way using an automatic putting device. However, for things like bean sprouts that are uneven in shape, direction, composition, etc., it is extremely difficult to mass-produce them in small quantities and in equal numbers in containers, and despite various attempts, However, there are still no known examples of successful commercialization. Since bean sprouts are one of the important ingredients in ramen noodles, etc., this was a problem that the industry needed to solve.

[Technical means for solving the problem 3: On one side or both sides of a long sheet such as edible and water or hot water soluble sheet (including the meaning of film), such as wafers or pullulan. After bean sprouts are randomly attached to the entire surface, they are cut into pieces of a predetermined size, and each of the pieces is usually placed one by one in an instant food container. At this time, in addition to using a single sheet, it is also possible to sandwich bean sprouts between multiple sheets, or to form layers of other ingredients. In the manufacturing process, the main method is to attach the bean sprouts to the sheet once it has been formed using water, etc.; In the present invention, it does not matter whether the sheet is formed or the sprouts are attached before or after the process.

[Example 1] Width 900xx and thickness 0 rolled out on a belt conveyor
A large number of bean sprouts that have been moistened in advance are dropped uniformly and over the entire surface onto a 05ff pullulan film, and after drying, the unattached bean sprouts are removed, collected, and reused. Cut it into a size of 0crA and put it into a cup food container.

[Example 2] Sprouts are uniformly and completely rolled out onto a belt conveyor, allowed to adhere and dry, and then cut in the same way and used as a bean sprout tool for instant food. [Example 3] A film similar to that in Example 1 is The bean sprouts are fed onto a belt conveyor, and the wet bean sprouts are spread evenly over the entire surface, and then a similar film is fed out while being crimped with a roller to make it adhere to the surface. Cut into 5H size, dry before or after cutting, and use as bean sprouts for instant food.

[Action and effect]

According to the present invention, even if it is a collection of bean sprouts that have a complicated shape and an undefined orientation, it can be formed into a uniform 7-shaped body using an edible sheet as a base, and then cut to a certain size. Because it is used, the quantity and quality of each piece is almost uniform, and there is no need to re-quantitate it, and it can be easily placed into an in-stand food container by an automatic device.
In addition, since the paste sheet is water-soluble and edible, and is only available in a small amount, it has the advantage that bean sprouts can be provided in large quantities as an ingredient without adversely affecting the food product.
