Abstract

A method of cultivating corn sprouts by soaking corn in electrolyzed water or spraying the electrolyzed water onto the corn is provided to shorten the soaking and cultivating time, reduce the defective rate caused by rot of seed or sprout and increase the sweetness of corn. Corn is soaked in electrolyzed water at 20 to 22deg.C for 1 to 3hr and cultivated in a cultivation container for 2 to 4 days by spraying electrolyzed water. The cultivated corn sprouts with a size of 3 to 6cm are dried by any one of freeze-drying, vacuum-drying and low temperature-drying and ground to less than 50meshes.

Description

Corn sprout cultivation method {CULTIVATION METHOD OF CORN SPROUT}

The present invention relates to a method of cultivating corn sprouts, and more particularly, by immersing corn in electrolyzed water and spraying electrolyzed water at the time of cultivation, soaking for a shorter time, cultivating in a shorter time, sugar content is significantly higher, cultivation Or it relates to a corn sprout cultivation method that can significantly reduce the defects such as rotting during distribution.

Conventionally, seeds of various cereals are immersed, germinated in a culture vessel, sprinkled with water for several days, and sprouts are grown, or grown as bean sprouts, and used as food.

However, the conventional bean sprout cultivation or sprout cultivation method is soaked and cultivated using groundwater, tap water, etc., soaking time or cultivation time takes a long time, there is a problem that the seeds rot or sprout sprouts, There was a problem such as low sugar content.

In order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the corn sprout production method according to the present invention,

Immersion step of swelling the corn seeds by immersing the corn seeds in the electrolytic water, cultivation step of cultivating the electrolyzed water by placing the corn seeds immersed in the immersion step into the culture container, and as the cultivated corn in the cultivation step It has a packing step of packing or mixing with other sprouts or other vegetables.

Before the packaging step, it is preferable to further have a pulverizing step of drying by any one method of freeze-drying, vacuum drying, low temperature drying to grind to 50 mesh or less.

The electrolyzed water is preferably pH 5 to 6, ORP 700 to 800mV.

The temperature of the immersion step is 20 to 22 ℃, immersion time is preferably 1 to 3 hours.

In the cultivation step, the cultivation time is 2 to 4 days, the size of the sprout is preferably 3 to 6cm.

Here, the "electrolyzed water" is also referred to as ionized water or electrolytic functional water, functional water.

It is produced by direct current electricity by adding titanium (platinum) of anode and cathode in water with some additives (salt, etc.).

In the diaphragm electrolyzed water generator that separates the positive and negative poles through the diaphragm, the anion dissolved in the water collects on the positive electrode to become acidic ionized water. On the side cations gather to form alkaline ionized water.

In case of acidic ionized water, it has a converging effect and constricts the skin. Therefore, it protects the skin slightly acidic and has an excellent effect on beauty. In alkaline ionized water, there are more beneficial minerals (mineral salts) than normal water. In addition, the water molecules are made smaller, so the absorption of minerals, etc. is increased, diarrhea, constipation improvement, help the stomach action.

It is also used as a substitute for chemicals such as disinfectants and disinfectants, detergents, detergents, waxes and pesticides. In addition, since it is used in various industries, it is possible to reduce various pollutants to prevent water pollution and air pollution, and to reduce harmful factors in terms of health and environment.

The non-diaphragm electrolyzed water generator is a device that does not have a diaphragm between the (+) and (-) poles. In the diaphragm electrolyzed water generator, neutral water, weakly acidic water, and weakly alkaline water may be caused by deformation of the internal structure, addition of acidic or alkaline substances, and the like. Can produce In the present invention, the electrolyzed water produced in the membrane-free electrolyzed water generator is used.

Hereinafter, it is used the same in this specification.

As described above, according to the present invention, the immersion time and cultivation time can be shortened, and the use of electrolyzed water reduces defects such as rotting of seeds and rotting of sprouts, and the sugar content of sprouts is 3 to 4 times higher than the sugar content of corn itself. It can be eaten mixed with other vegetables or sprouts, and powdered has the effect that can be utilized as a natural sweetener.

The present invention will be described in detail through the following examples. However, these examples are for illustrative purposes only and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Example 1

1 kg of corn seeds were immersed in 2.5 L of electrolyzed water at 20-22 ° C. pH 5.5 and ORP 750 mV for about 2 hours.

Place the non-woven fabric on the bottom of the culture vessel and put the soaked corn so that 4 ~ 10 ply, and cultivated for 5 days while spraying the electrolyzed water in the above conditions at about 30 minutes intervals. After 5 days, the roots formed and the sugar content dropped rapidly.

The cultivated by the above conditions is shown in Table 1. Corn sprouts averaged 5.5 cm after 3 days, and the sugar content of the sprouts was 3.7 times higher than that of the corn seeds themselves.

Example 2

1 kg of corn seeds were immersed in 2.5 L of electrolyzed water at 20-22 ° C. pH 5 and ORP 800 mV for about 2 hours.

Place the non-woven fabric on the bottom of the culture vessel and put the soaked corn so that 4 ~ 10 ply, and cultivated for 5 days while spraying the electrolyzed water in the above conditions at about 30 minutes intervals. After 5 days, the roots formed and the sugar content dropped rapidly.

The cultivated by the above conditions is shown in Table 2. Corn sprouts averaged 5 cm after 3 days, and the sugar content of the sprouts was 3.3 times higher than that of the corn seeds themselves.
