Definitions
- the present invention relates to a food flavouring product and to a method of manufacture of such a product .
- Herbs and/or flavourings have been used for many years to enhance the flavour of food, and are traditionally sprinkled over the food during food preparation, usually manually by a cook.
- the surface of a food item to be flavoured is often uneven, with the result that the added herbs and/or flavourings tend to clump together in patches, or do not adhere to the surface of the food, as a consequence of which the resultant flavour is not consistent throughout the food item. It is also difficult to gauge the quantity of herbs and/or spices and/or flavourings required to achieve the desired flavour enhancement.
- Preferred embodiments of the present invention seek to overcome the above disadvantages of the prior art.
- a food flavouring product comprising: at least one sheet of edible material impregnated with flavouring, the impregnation of flavouring being substantially uniform across the area of the or each sheet; wherein the or each sheet is pliable at room temperature and is adapted to be applied to a food item and to disintegrate at elevated cooking temperatures to release the flavouring into the food item.
- flavouring is ' less prone to degradation by absorption of moisture from the atmosphere, since the edible , material of the sheet protects the flavouring suspended within it from the surrounding atmosphere.
- the flavouring can simply be stored or transported within the sheet of edible material and vacuum packed, such that the storage and transport costs are reduced.
- the edible material disintegrates during the cooking process, the material is either absorbed into the food item or drains into a cooking vessel, leaving substantially no traces of the edible product on the surface of the food item, thus improving the appearance and texture of the cooked food item.
- the amount and type of flavouring can also be selected in order to produce the required flavouring combination and/or strength to match the taste of an end user.
- impregnating the flavouring into the sheet such that it is substantially uniformly distributed over the sheet this has the advantage of ensuring that when the sheet disintegrates during the cooking process, the flavouring is evenly applied to the surface of the food item.
- the edible material is flavourless.
- the edible product may contain gelatine.
- the food flavouring product is preferably formed from water and/or gelatine and/or glycerol and/or salt and/or herbs and/or spices and/or potassium sorbate .
- the edible product may contain polysaccharide gum.
- the food flavouring product is formed from water and/or polysaccharide gum and/or salt and/or sugar and/or herbs and/or spice and/or potassium sorbate and/or glycerol .
- the flavouring comprises at least one type of herb and/or spice flavouring.
- the food flavouring product is preferably vacuum packed in a foil or plastic bag.
- the product comprises a plurality of sheets separated by coated card and/or plastic wraps or dividers.
- a method of manufacturing a food flavouring product as defined above comprising implanting flavouring into at least one sheet of edible material such that the impregnation of flavouring is substantially uniform across the surface of the or each sheet .
- the flavouring is preferably implanted by vaporising and propelling the flavouring into the or each sheet.
- the or each sheet is heated to between substantially 25 and substantially 27 degrees to soften the edible material .
- the surface of the or each sheet of edible material may be sealed subsequently to impregnation thereof with flavouring.
- the surface of the or each sheet may be sealed by applying pressure thereto.
- the surface of the or each sheet may be sealed by drawing a wire across said surface .
- the surface of the or each sheet may be sealed by applying a 'further sheet of edible material thereto.
- the surface of the or each sheet may be sealed by applying a sheet of removable plastics film thereto.
- the or each sheet impregnated with flavouring is cut into smaller sheets, each of which is packaged in an individual sealed container.
- Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of an apparatus for making a food flavouring product embodying the present invention.
- a belt 2 is driven by driving means (not shown) at a speed of between generally 31.8 metres per second and 32.4 metres per second in the direction indicated by arrow 4.
- the belt 2 is guided by guide rolls 6, 8 such that it bears on roll 10 over approximately 75% of the perimeter of the roll 10.
- the roll 10 is located in a vacuum chamber 12 such that the belt 2 is guided through the vacuum chamber 12 as it passes around the roll 10.
- An endless belt 14 comprising a mesh or net is driven at generally the same speed as belt 2, but in the opposite direction thereto, as shown by arrow 16.
- the belt 14 runs over rolls 10, 18, 20, 22 and is guided by guide rolls 18, 20 such that it bears on the same surface 24 of the roll 10 as the belt 2.
- a herb vaporiser 26 is provided within the vacuum' chamber 12 and faces the surface 24 of the roll 10.
- a heating means 28 and a cooling means 30 are also provided in the vacuum chamber 12.
- a sheet 32 of edible material containing gelatine is flexible but solid at room temperature, is fed from a reel (not shown) onto the belt 2.
- the sheet 32 is then conveyed by the belt 2 around the roll 8 into the vacuum chamber, where it is then heated by the heating means to a temperature of generally 25 degrees C to 27 degrees C. This temperature is sufficient to slightly soften the structure of the sheet 32, which is then conveyed by belt 2 around the roll 10, where the belt 14 now bears on the softened sheet 32.
- the heat vaporiser 26 vaporises a quantity of herbs or other flavouring and propels that vaporised material towards the sheet 32 passing around roll 10.
- the herbs or flavouring are then implanted through the mesh/net of belt 14 into the softened structure of the sheet 32, and as the mesh or net of belt 24 travels across the surface of the softened sheet 32, the pressure applied by the belt 14 to the surface causes the points of entry of the herb into the sheet 32 to close and removes any excess traces of herbs from the surface of the sheet .
- the removed traces of herbs or flavouring can then be returned to the herb vaporiser .
- the sheet 32 Downstream of the roll 10, the sheet 32 is conveyed by the belt 2 via cooling means 30 which cools the sheet 32 to a temperature less than 25 degrees C, which re-hardens the sheet 32.
- the sheet 32 is then conveyed by belt 2 out of the vacuum chamber 12, about guide roll 6, beyond which roll 6 the sheet 32 is then removed from the belt 2.
- a layer of greaseproof or waxed paper (not shown) can be applied to one surface of the sheet 32 during removal of the sheet from the belt 32,. and the sheet 32 is then wound on a reel (not shown) such that the greaseproof/waxed paper prevents the layers of the sheet from sticking to each other.
- the required length of sheet 32 can then be drawn from the reel and the sheet cut to form a wrap of the required size.
- One surface of the sheet 32 can also be covered by an additional thin layer of gelatine which acts as a protective layer, sealing the herbs/flavouring within the sheet 32 by sealing the damaged surface of the sheet caused by entrance of the herbs into the sheet.
- a further additional layer of gelatine can be applied to the opposite surface of the sheet 32 as the sheet is removed from the belt 2.
- a peelable plastic layer can be applied to the surface of the sheet 32, the plastic layer acting as a protective layer.
- the herb impregnated sheet 32 may be processed in a further additional step to form individual wraps by cutting the sheet to form wraps of the required size, and vacuum packing the wraps in respective aluminium foil or plastics packages (not shown) .
- the wrap is removed from its package and is wrapped around or otherwise applied to the food item to be flavoured. If the wrap has a peelable coated card layer or a peelable plastic layer, this is removed from the wrap before application of the wrap to the surface of the food item. When the food item is cooked, the gelatine of the wrap melts and the herbs are released on to the surface of the food item for absorption by the food item.
- the particular constituents of the food flavouring product can vary widely, depending upon the particular application.
- a typical composition having the desired pliability and consistency at room temperature will have constituents in the following proportions: 77.2% water, 7.7% gelatin,' 7.7% glycerol, 3.1% salt, 2.3% sugar, 1.9% herbs and/or spices and/or other flavouring, and 0.1% potassium sorbate.
- polysaccharide gum is used instead of gelatin, the gelatin ingredient in the above composition can be replaced by 1.5% polysaccharide gum, and the water content can then be increased to 83.4%.
- flavourings can be incorporated into the gelatine sheet, for example spices, tomato, fruit, nut, and the sheet may be made from a different edible material, such as polysaccharide gum, provided that the material retains its own integrity and is pliable at room temperature, and disintegrates during the cooking process .
