Description

  In the present invention, an indeterminate lump such as half-boiled rice is produced just by mixing with an aqueous medium without heating at home and mixing for a short time, and these lumps are held with one hand of an infant. The present invention relates to a powder that can be formed into a shaped food that is bound and held in an arbitrary shape such as a rice ball by light pressing.

Conventionally, as a powder for obtaining a confectionery that can enjoy a visual change simply by adding water, there is a powder composition described in Japanese Patent No. 3560045, for example.
This powder composition is composed of 50% by weight or more of pregelatinized cereal powder, 6.0% by weight or less of powdered acidulant of 40 mesh pass or less, and sodium hydrogen carbonate, and fats and oils are added as optional components. .
This powder composition can form a candy-like confectionery foamed and expanded simply by adding water with a spoid on the powder layer.
However, since this powder composition is only water and does not require mixing, it is not interesting for an infant to cook with a sense of play.

Therefore, the present inventors repeated not only water addition but also cooking operations such as stirring and rice balls, and repeated examinations of food powders that infants can cook as if they were playing home. That is, the present inventors recalled a food powder that can instantly make a food having an appearance like rice by adding water to the powder and continuing mixing.
Therefore, water is added to 50 parts by weight of the above-mentioned pregelatinized cereal powder, 6.0% by weight or less of the powdered acidulant of 40 mesh pass or less, and 1 part by weight of the powder obtained by mixing sodium bicarbonate and fat. It has been found that when 1.5 parts by weight of water is added and mixing is continued, a plurality of small lump-like amorphous gels can be produced.

  However, although this mixed powder can be made into a lump, if you hold the lump together with a hand like a rice ball and mold it, it will have a strong elasticity and no shape retention due to its bowl-like physical properties. It is difficult to obtain a feeling and appearance, and there is room for improvement in that it easily adheres to the hand.

Japanese Patent No. 3560045

  The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances as described above. The purpose of the present invention is to lightly boil rice by simply mixing it with an aqueous medium without heating at home and mixing it for a short time. Can produce semi-boiled cooked rice-like irregular shaped lump and can be torn or rolled, and the lump can be made into a rice ball shape by light pressing such as an infant holding with one hand It is in providing the powder which can be set as the molded foods which are bound and kept in arbitrary shapes, and can also have a light texture like a half-boiled cooked rice.

  This invention adds the aqueous medium 0.5-1.4 by weight ratio with respect to the powder 1, and is for non-heated hydroforming for manufacturing the cooked rice-like shaped foodstuff which can be eaten as it is by non-heated hydration mixing The above object is achieved by a non-heated hydroforming powder comprising 30-60% by weight of pregelatinized cereal powder and a saccharide sweetener in the total weight of the powder.

  Preferably, the non-heated hydroforming powder further contains an acid component and a carbon dioxide generating component.

  More preferably, the non-heated hydroforming powder further contains at least one of a powdered fat or a calcium component as a cooked rice-like coloring component.

That is, the present inventors have studied by paying attention to the blended amount of pregelatinized cereal powder in order to obtain a powder composition suitable for producing a half-boiled cooked rice-like lump when mixed with water without heating. It was.
As a result, when water is used in the range of 0.5 to 1.4 parts by weight with respect to 1 part by weight of the powder and the pregelatinized cereal powder is used at 30 to 60% by weight, stirring is continued within 3 minutes. It is easy to make it look and feel like half-boiled cooked rice, and when it is torn or rolled, it has the plasticity that is formed into an arbitrary shape, and even if it is grasped lightly with a weak gripping force like an infant, the clumps bind together It was found that it was easy and the hands could not be sticky, and the shape could be kept in any shape. Furthermore, the present invention has been completed by finding that it is easy to mix when water and powder are mixed, the surface of the lump is not powdery, and can give a gloss close to that of half-boiled cooked rice.

  According to the present invention, when water is used in the range of 0.5 to 1.4 parts by weight with respect to 1 part by weight of the powder and the pregelatinized cereal powder is used in the range of 30 to 60% by weight, Within 3 minutes, an irregular shaped half-boiled rice-like lump is formed, and even if it is eaten as it is, it tastes and feels like a half-boiled rice. In addition, it has excellent plasticity for tearing and rounding, and even if it is lightly gripped with a weak gripping force as in an infant, it is easy for the lump to be bound together and to be held in an arbitrary shape and not sticky to the hand. Furthermore, it is easy to mix when water and powder are mixed, and the lump surface is not powdery and can give a luster close to that of cooked rice. Moreover, since a lump can be shape | molded into arbitrary shapes, an infant can play with a cooking sensation by playing rice balls etc. with a play.

The present invention will be described in detail.
The powder for non-heated hydroforming of the present invention is prepared by adding 0.5 to 1.4 of an aqueous medium in a weight ratio with respect to the powder 1 and producing a cooked rice-like shaped food that can be eaten as it is by hydration without heating. For the powder. Moreover, 30-60 weight% of pregelatinized cereal powder and saccharide sweetener are contained in the said whole powder weight.
In the present invention, the powder means powder such as powder or granule.

  First, the pregelatinized cereal powder includes corn starch, tapioca starch, potato starch, sweet potato starch, waxy corn starch, rice bran powder and the like, and these processed starches.

It is important that the content of the pregelatinized cereal powder is 30 to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the non-heated hydroforming powder.
If the pregelatinized cereal powder exceeds 60% by weight, it will be difficult to mix when mixed with water, and only the starch will absorb water first, making it difficult for water to reach the entire powder. It is difficult to finish it, and it separates into a powdery part and a part that absorbs water in a bowl shape.
Also, the surface of the resulting lump is powdery and it is difficult to obtain a rice-like luster, and the flavor is separated into a powdery part and a bowl-like part, and a texture like rice is not obtained .
In addition, the ridge-like portion also has a hard rubbery, soft property that is too strong to be rounded, difficult to be formed into an arbitrary shape, and rice-like chunks are difficult to bind.
On the other hand, in the case of less than 30% by weight, if the rice-like product obtained by mixing with water is gripped and molded, it becomes a soft bean-like physical property, and the bonded product is too soft and has no shape retaining property. It becomes easy to adhere.

  Next, examples of the sugar sweetener include monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose, disaccharides such as sugar, lactose and maltose, powdered sugar sweeteners such as oligosaccharide and powdered starch candy. These may be used alone or in combination.

The content of the sugar sweetener is desirably 30 to 70% by weight based on the total weight of the non-heated hydroforming powder.
When the sugar sweetener is less than 30% by weight, the whole powder is difficult to mix, and there is a tendency that the powder part remains or is not finished in a half-boiled cooked rice shape.
On the other hand, when the sugar sweetener exceeds 70% by weight, there is no shape-retaining property when hand-rolled with rice balls, it tends to be sticky, and the shape tends to be a paste-sol-like physical property.

  In addition to the above raw materials, the non-heated hydroforming powder of the present invention includes carbon dioxide generating components, acid components, powdered fats and oils, calcium components, sugar alcohols, fragrances, pigments, stabilizers, gelling agents, emulsifiers as auxiliary materials. In addition, powders such as seasonings may be used alone or in combination.

  In particular, when carbon dioxide gas is generated by using a carbon dioxide generating component and an acid component, it is possible to obtain a lump-like mass having a more crushed appearance like a lump of rice.

Examples of the acid component include powders of organic acids (citric acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid, etc.) and powders of brewed vinegar, plum vinegar, fruit vinegar, fruit juice and the like mainly composed of these. These may be used alone or in combination.
Examples of the carbon dioxide generating component include powders of carbonate compounds such as sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate, and magnesium carbonate.

The ratio of the acid component to the carbon dioxide generating component is preferably about 1: 0.7 in terms of weight efficiency in terms of reaction efficiency, and the content of both is 0.5 to 10 in the total weight of the non-heated hydroforming powder. It is desirable to set the weight%.
When the acid component and carbon dioxide generating component are less than 0.5% by weight, when mixed with water, it is difficult to form a half-boiled rice-like crumbly irregular lump, which is close to a uniform bowl Tend to be.
On the other hand, when the total amount of the acid component and the carbon dioxide gas generating component exceeds 10% by weight, there is a tendency for the taste to occur or to become sticky due to moisture generated by the foaming reaction.

Among the above auxiliary materials, powdered fats and oils or calcium components are preferable in that the appearance of the lump can be adjusted to a white cooked rice-like color tone.
Examples of the powdered fats and oils include milk fat powders such as butter, vegetable fats and powders, and processed oils and fats.
Examples of the calcium component include calcium component-containing materials such as shell calcium and calcium lactate and calcium salts. Alternatively, calcium carbonate, which is a carbon dioxide generating component, may be used as the calcium component.

In the case of powdered fats and oils, the content is desirably 0.2 to 20% by weight in the total weight of the non-heated hydroforming powder.
In the case of calcium, the content is preferably 0.2 to 5.0% by weight in the total weight of the non-heated hydroforming powder.
When the powdered oil or fat or the calcium component is less than the above range, the obtained lump tends to adhere to the hand, or it is difficult to obtain a cloudy cooked rice-like color appearance.
On the other hand, if the amount of powdered oil or calcium is greater than the above range, it will be difficult to have a glossy appearance like cooked rice, or it will be difficult to mix the whole powder when watered, making it difficult to form a half-boiled cooked rice-like lump. , Tend to have a strong yellowish hue or rough.

Next, the non-heated hydroforming powder of the present invention is a powder comprising the above-mentioned pregelatinized cereal powder and saccharide sweetener, preferably an acid component, a carbon dioxide generating component, powdered fats and oils, and auxiliary materials as necessary. Mix. Or what is necessary is just to prepare by granulating after powder mixing.
From the viewpoint of long-term storage stability, the acid component and the carbon dioxide generating component may be separated into two types of powder, and the remaining raw materials may be contained in at least one of the powders.

Using the non-heated hydroforming powder prepared as described above, the cooked rice-shaped formed food according to the present invention is prepared, for example, as follows.
In other words, an aqueous medium is added to the non-heated hydroforming powder and mixed with a spoon, chopsticks, fork, etc. for about 3 minutes, and the whole is free of moisture, resulting in a half-boiled rice-like irregular lump. What is necessary is just to shape | mold.
As the aqueous medium, tap water may be used, and mineral water, an aqueous solution in which a solute is dissolved, fruit juice, or the like may be used. Of these, water from the water supply is suitable in terms of solubility and the finish of the cooked rice-shaped food.
In the present invention, non-heating means a temperature that does not require a heating operation, and may be cooling water in addition to room temperature (room temperature).

The rice-shaped shaped food obtained in this way can be eaten as it is, but the rice-shaped shaped food is further torn or rolled, and the rice-shaped shaped food is lightly gripped with a pressing force that is about the grip of one hand of an infant. The powder is particularly suitable for forming into an arbitrary shape.
In this way, cooked rice-shaped foods can be formed into various shapes, and are suitable as powders for mascots, and infants can cook rice-shaped foods. It is suitable in that it is easier to eat than eating as it is.

In addition, the non-heated hydroforming powder of the present invention is 1: 0.5 to 1: 1 in a weight ratio of the non-heated hydroforming powder and the aqueous medium in order to add water to form a cooked rice-shaped food product. .4 is important.
When the amount of the aqueous medium is less than this range, the whole powder is difficult to mix, becomes a sesame grain-like lump, and is hard to bind even when pressed by hand, and the plasticity is lost.
On the other hand, when there is more aqueous medium than this range, it becomes a paste-sol-like physical property, and it tends to become a physical property that is easy to adhere to the hand because it becomes a uniform physical property, becomes a dough and does not easily become a half-boiled cooked rice-shaped food. is there.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described based on examples.
