Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a ginseng-freeze-

The present invention relates to a method for producing freeze-dried ginseng dice, and more particularly, to a method for preparing freeze-dried ginseng dice, which can directly take ginseng without any separate cooking process.

Ginseng has many effective ingredients such as chaffinin, ginsenoside, polyacetylene, phenol, etc. It is effective to maintain body temperature important for immunity by promoting metabolism, and has excellent efficacy in prevention of dementia and anticancer foods. The most common type of ginseng we know is the fresh ginseng that has been matured for 4 to 6 years in the field and the ginseng contains about 75% of the water, which is the best for freshness. However, I can not eat for long. The longer the fresh ginseng is kept, the less the ginseng part and the roots disappear, and even when the fresh ginseng is frozen, the efficacy of the ginseng is remarkably reduced, and generally it is stored in the refrigerator. Therefore, you can not eat fresh ginseng for a long time, so you can eat a lot of red ginseng while maintaining the efficacy of ginseng. It is washed with the method of taking fresh ginseng, and it is crushed with a mixer, and it is eaten by honey, it is cut, and it is dried in the sun in the form of slices and dredged, and it is taken as ginseng tea, but a separate cooking process is required.

As a prior art related to the present invention, Korean Patent Registration No. 1088109, a method of manufacturing a freeze-dried ginseng block, comprises grinding washed fresh ginseng to prepare ginseng puree, mixing red ginseng extract and fructooligosaccharide, And then freeze-drying the freeze-dried ginseng block. However, the prior art is insufficient to feel the taste of fresh ginseng itself by mixing red ginseng extract and fructooligosaccharide in fresh ginseng.

Therefore, there is a need for a new method of manufacturing freeze-dried ginseng dice having a form that can maintain the texture and sensory qualities of fresh ginseng itself without adding any additives, and chew ginseng easily without any separate cooking process.

Accordingly, it is not intended to provide a more detailed structure than is necessary for a basic understanding of the present invention, but it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various forms that can be practiced in the present invention are illustrated in the drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Unlike ginseng slices which are prepared by ingesting ginseng powder containing a predetermined additive or taking ginseng powder into a tea or syrup, the ginseng slices can be cut and shaped into dies without adding any additives to the ginseng itself, Dried ginseng is prepared by lyophilization. Freeze-drying is a process in which fresh ginseng cut in a dice shape is first rapidly frozen to transform water in the tissue into small-sized ice crystals so that only the ice in the tissue is sublimated under a high degree of decompression . The freeze-drying can be performed in a freeze-dried vacuum dryer including a freezing device, a drying device, a vacuum pump, a dewatering device, a heating device, and a control device. The control device can control the freezing temperature, heating temperature, pressure and drying time in the freeze-vacuum dryer for freeze-drying the fresh ginseng.

The lyophilized ginseng dies of the present invention can be shaped and cut into a predetermined shape, for example, a cubic shape. The ginseng dice can be shaped and cut using a manual or vegetable square cutter. The ginseng dice may be a cube having a length, height and height of 5 mm to 7 mm. When the length of each side of the ginseng dice is less than 5 mm, the ginseng structure is crushed at the time of cutting, resulting in a large loss of the ginseng raw material. The sensory evaluation according to the length of each side of ginseng dice in the case of various molding forms and hexahedrons is described below. In the present invention, ginseng collected in a field before freeze-drying is described as fresh ginseng, and the product after freeze-drying is described as ginseng. However, ginseng and ginseng are generally understood as the same terms.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart for explaining a method of manufacturing a freeze-dried ginseng dice according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the method of manufacturing freeze-dried ginseng dice comprises washing a raw ginseng raw material (S10), cutting and cutting the raw ginseng raw material into a predetermined size and shape (S20) A step of freezing (S30), and a step of expanding and drying (S40) rapidly freezing ginseng dies. In addition, the method of manufacturing freeze-dried ginseng dice may further include the step (S50) filling the disposable capsules container with the expandable dried ginseng dies.

Step of cutting the raw ginseng after washing the raw material ( S10, S20 )

Select ginseng with a diameter of 3cm or more, remove soil or other foreign matter with a brush or a sponge, immerse in water for 5 to 10 minutes, and rub gently with both hands. The washing is carried out three to five times, and the head (head part) of the ginseng is removed. Thereafter, the ginseng dice is formed by cutting and shaping into a vegetable square cutter (having a lattice form in which a horizontal knife and a vertical knife intersect) or a knife, which is capable of cutting the washed ginseng into a hexahedron shape, or by manual cutting (chopping). In order to prevent the loss of raw ginseng raw materials and to maintain a crispy texture of the ginseng product through the freeze-drying process, the ginseng dice may be a cube having one side of 5 mm to 7 mm in length.

Ginseng Dice  In the quick freezing step (S30)

The ginseng dice are put into a freeze-drying apparatus and can be rapidly frozen by keeping the chamber temperature at -40 to -50 ° C. for about 30 minutes to 40 minutes. In the ginseng dies, the ice crystals formed by freezing the moisture in the ginseng tissues through the rapid freezing are fine, and the porous structure can be maintained while maintaining the state of the ginseng tissue.

Quick frozen ginseng Dice Blow dry  In step S40,

Rapidly frozen ginseng dice can remove water by sublimating the ice particles in the ginseng dice into water vapor by applying heat at 45 to 50 ° C under a pressure of 0.1 to 0.5 Torr in the freeze dryer. The expansion and drying step may be performed for 24 to 35 hours. The ginseng dies that have undergone the puffing and drying process can maintain crisp texture by maintaining the porous structure. The ginseng dies placed on the tray installed in the chamber of the freeze-drying apparatus can be dried by receiving heat by the tray. In this case, the tray on which the ginseng dies are placed may have an insertion groove into which the ginseng dies can be inserted and seated. For example, in order to accommodate the hexagonal ginseng dice, the tray is formed with a square groove or a triangular-pyramid groove to communicate with at least two surfaces of the ginseng dice, Can be smoothly performed. Through this, the ginseng dies can shorten the drying time during puffing and drying, and at the same time, the drying efficiency can be improved by transferring heat through the various routes to the central structure. That is, by removing the water that may remain in the fresh ginseng tissue (by increasing the drying efficiency), the crispy texture can be enhanced when the product of ginseng dies is consumed, than when the heat is supplied through one side of the ginseng dies. As the ginseng dies are formed into a hexahedron shape, the ginseng dies are inserted into the insertion grooves during expansion and drying, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

The packaging step (S50)

3) is packed in a predetermined capsule container 200 (see FIG. 3), and a large number of capsule containers 200 are packed in one packing box 300 to be sold . On the other hand, the ginseng dies that have undergone the puffing and drying process can be hot-air dried at a temperature of 60 to 70 ° C for 1 to 2 hours before being packed in a capsule container to remove the residual moisture of the ginseng dies. Additional hot air drying prior to packaging of the ginseng dice can be done in a hot air dryer.

The ginseng dice can be easily filled into a cylindrical capsule since it has a shaped hexahedral shape with a convenient volume to be hand-operated. On the other hand, when the capsule container is 25 mm in diameter and 30 mm in height, 1 g of ginseng dies after freeze-drying (the length of one side is 5 mm to 7 mm) can be filled. This means that even if ginsenoside Rb1 and Rg1 content in the ginseng dice is 6.0 ~ 16.0 mg / g, the daily intake of health functional foods (Rb1 and Rg1 sum 3 ~ 80 mg) It can be easily ingested. In other words, by molding the ginseng dice into a hexahedral shape, the drying efficiency can be increased during freeze drying to maintain the crispness and at the same time, it can be easily handled manually when filling the capsule container, and it is easy to take out one by one from the capsule container.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the method for manufacturing freeze-dried ginseng dice according to the present invention will be described. In this example, the lyophilization conditions and the expanding and drying conditions were the same, and the molding form of the ginseng and the length of one side of the hexahedron were different.

Example

Example 1

After washing the ginseng, the thickness of the ginseng was set to 5 mm, and the ginseng was cut into a circle with the diameter of the ginseng.

Example 2

After washing the fresh ginseng, a hexagonal ginseng dice having a length of 5 mm was cut and shaped using a vegetable cutter.

Example 3

After washing the fresh ginseng, a hexagonal ginseng dice having a length of 8 mm on one side was cut and shaped using a vegetable cutter.

Example 4

After washing the fresh ginseng, a hexagonal ginseng dice having a length of 10 mm on one side was cut and shaped using a vegetable cutter.

Example 5

In Example 2, the expanded dry process was carried out on a tray having an insertion groove for inserting ginseng dies.

Efficacy test

The ginseng dies prepared in Examples 1 to 4 were subjected to a sensory test. The sensory test was carried out on the taste, smell, color and texture of the ginseng in their 20s and 50s, Forty patients were selected and evaluated using the 9-point scale method.

       <Sensory Test Results> division flavor incense color Texture Synthesis Example 1 8.0 8.2 8.2 6.4 7.7 Example 2 8.5 8.6 8.5 8.8 8.6 Example 3 8.4 8.4 8.5 7.5 8.2 Example 4 8.0 8.3 8.4 6.5 7.8 Example 5 8.7 8.7 8.6 8.8 8.7

* Sensory test value (9: very good, 0: very bad)

As can be seen from the efficacy test results, it can be confirmed that there is a difference in taste and texture depending on the molding form and volume of the ginseng dies. It can be seen that when the volume of the hexahedron in the round shape of Example 1 or the cubes of Examples 3 and 4 is large, the drying efficiency is lowered and the crisp texture is decreased. This indicates that the larger the volume at the same expanding drying condition, .

Therefore, the hexahedral ginseng dice can increase the drying efficiency and completely discharge the moisture in the tissue through freeze-drying process to maintain a crisp texture and can be easily ingested without any separate cooking process anytime and anywhere while being filled in the portable capsule container .

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, I will understand.

Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the above-described embodiments, but should be determined by equivalents to the appended claims, as well as the appended claims.
