Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food which is supplied in a frozen state and which is eaten at the same time with the outer skin and the inner skin wrapped in the outer skin.
The present invention relates to frozen foods such as frozen desserts such as sand ice cream.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As conventional frozen foods, for example, frozen desserts such as monaca and sand ice cream, the ice cream contents are wrapped in a monaca skin such as confectionery dough to form an integrated body. They are formed and housed in a bag that wraps them as a whole, and depending on the type, they are further housed in a packaging box and supplied. The frozen food of the related art is already formed in the monaca-like outer shell by accommodating the contents of ice cream or the like at the manufacturing stage, and is distributed, exhibited, and sold in this state.

Therefore, in the above-mentioned conventional frozen food, since the number of days after production has passed, the moisture contained in the contents is transferred to the outer skin, and when the consumer purchases and enjoys it, the transferred moistness. As a result, the texture and flavor are impaired. As a conventional technique for solving this drawback, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-328684, a separation film is provided between the outer skin and the contents of frozen food such as frozen desserts, and the outer skin is provided. There is a configuration in which those including a separation film are integrally packaged.

However, in the frozen food of the above constitution,
Immediately before seasoning, the outer skin and the contents can be integrated, so that it is possible to prevent the transfer of water from the contents, but since the outer skin is also supplied in a frozen state, for example, an outer skin made of sponge or bread dough. As described above, in the case of a dough that is not suitable for freezing, frozen storage is not preferable, so that there is a problem that the texture and flavor are still not good, and there is also a problem that the type of outer skin is limited.

Further, in the above frozen food, since the contents, the separation film and the outer coat are in a hierarchical state, there are a total of 5 layers in the vertical direction, and these layers must be packaged while maintaining the separated state. In addition, there is a problem that the packaging process at the time of manufacturing is difficult. Furthermore, any of the frozen foods such as frozen desserts described above must be displayed and sold in a frozen showcase at the time of sale, and thus there is a drawback that it is difficult to attract attention and motivate purchase.

Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to enjoy frozen desserts such as monaca and sand ice cream without impairing the texture and flavor, and at the same time, to increase the consumer's willingness to purchase. The packaging process is also aimed at providing frozen foods that are simple.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a frozen food such as a frozen dessert according to the present invention comprises at least two kinds of different portions that enable the combination of the outer skin and the inner portion, and at least It is a frozen food whose contents are in a frozen state, in which the outer skin and the contents are individually packaged separately, the contents can be frozen and stored, and the outer skin can be stored even at room temperature. The feature is that they can be combined together.

According to this structure, the outer skin and the contents can be individually packaged separately, and the contents can be frozen and stored, so that the contents can be supplied in the frozen showcase. In addition, since the outer skin can be stored even at room temperature, consumers can combine both before eating and enjoy the freshly made flavor and texture compared to conventional products. Moreover, it can be enjoyed as frozen foods in various combinations.

Further, since the outer skin can be supplied outside the frozen showcase, it can be easily noticed by the consumer and the purchase will be increased. Furthermore, since the contents and the outer skin can be individually packaged separately, the packaging process is simple and the manufacturing can be easily performed. Claim 2 of this invention
The frozen food such as the frozen dessert described above is composed of two or more different parts capable of combining the outer skin and the inner body, and is a frozen food in which at least the inner body is in a frozen state, and the outer shell and the inner body are separated. It is characterized in that both the contents and the outer skin are in a frozen storage state, and both can be arbitrarily combined together.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described. The frozen food such as a frozen dessert of the present invention has a structure in which the content 10 and the outer skin 20 are completely separated and individually packaged, and a consumer can freely combine the two and enjoy them. It is configured to be possible. As for the contents 10, ice cream contained in Monaca,
Dorayaki, rice crackers, rice cakes, etc. with a flavor that matches the dough of Japanese sweets, such as ice cream using bean jam, bread, Danish, cookies, sponge cakes, crepes, pies, cream puffs, wafers, etc. There is an ice cream that has a flavor suitable for the pastry dough, such as chocolate or fruit. Examples of the outer skin 20 include monaca, dorayaki, rice cracker, okaki, bread dough, Danish dough, cookie dough, sponge dough, crepe dough, cream puff dough, and wafer dough.

The contents 10 are packaging films 11
The outer skin 20 is separately and individually packaged by a packaging film 21 ′ and a packaging box 21 a as a separate body from the contents 10. In addition, the packaging film 1
1. On the outer surface of the packaging film 21 'and the packaging box 21a,
Display units 12 and 22 are provided respectively. Display 1
Reference numerals 2 and 22 indicate the contents of combination with each other and variations of the combination, and also display the other display position. As for the combination content of the contents 10 and the outer skin 20 displayed on the display units 12 and 22, in addition to the combination of the both in a one-to-one manner, it is also possible to display a variation in a one-to-many combination.

The display sections 12 and 22 display the storage locations of the contents 10 and the outer skin 20, respectively. For this reason,
The outer skin 20 can be displayed on a normal display shelf without being displayed in the freezer showcase, and is easily noticed by the consumer, which contributes to an increase in consumer motivation. The packaging form of the content 10 is a configuration form having a good temperature resistance property, for example, made of a synthetic resin material such as polypropylene and capable of being frozen and stored. And, by individually packaging the contents 10 in this way, it is possible to package the contents 10 using a transparent film or the like, which is impossible with a frozen food in which the contents are wrapped in a shell as in the conventional case. It is possible to directly check the contents 10 before purchase even in a packaged state, and the consumer can purchase with confidence.

The outer skin 20 is packaged in a composition form made of a synthetic resin material such as polypropylene or polyethylene that can be stored at room temperature. Since it is stored at room temperature, the temperature resistance is higher than that when frozen. It is also possible to use those under loose conditions. In any of the above packaging forms, the contents 10 and the outer skin 20 can be individually packaged, so that simple packaging equipment can be used, which facilitates manufacturing. There is also an effect that can be achieved.

The frozen food 1 is, in the case of monaca and sand ice cream, a content 10 made of ice cream.
If necessary, they are placed on a food tray or the like, and the whole of them is wrapped with a packaging film 11 with a display unit 12 and displayed as a frozen storage at the time of sale in a frozen showcase. On the other hand, the outer skin 20 made of monaca is directly packaged by itself or is placed on a food tray 21 or the like in order to have a sealing property and a shape-retaining property. Package (see Figure 2). As for the packaging form, when a food tray is not used, it may be packaged with a packaging film 21 ′ and then housed in a packaging box 21a (see FIG. 3, the packaging film is omitted). . In any case, it is preferable to use a packaging film to keep the hermeticity, or to use a food tray or a packaging box to keep the shape.

A display unit 22 is provided on the packaging film 21 'and the packaging box 21a so that the packaging film 21' and the packaging box 21a can be displayed and sold on a display shelf at room temperature outside the freezer showcase. . The display unit 12 of the contents 10 displays examples of combinations with the outer skin 20, storage locations, and the like. Further, the display unit 22 of the outer cover 20 displays a storage location of the contents 10 and the like, and an example of combination with the contents 10.

Further, in addition to the display showing the contents 10 as described above, the display portion 22 on the outer skin 20 side can be designed to improve the willingness to purchase, and can be attached to a display shelf or the like outside the freezer showcase. Together with the exhibit, it can increase consumers' willingness to buy. Then, the consumer purchases a combination of the arbitrary contents 10 and the outer skin 20, opens each of them immediately before eating, and then,
The contents 10 will be put inside and it will be enjoyed. Therefore, since the outer skin 20 does not come into contact with the contents 10 until just before it is tasted, there is no transfer of water or the like from the contents 10 to the outer skin 20, and according to the frozen food of this embodiment, the freshly prepared flavor and texture are not produced. You can taste.

Table 1 shows the degree of improvement in texture and flavor when the contents 10 are stored in a frozen state and the outer skin 20 is stored at room temperature, and the two are integrated immediately before the taste. The thing is the case of frozen foods which carried out the present invention, the lower one shows the case of conventional frozen foods that are integrated and stored / supplied from the time of production, and ○ is excellent, Δ Usually indicates a poor condition.

[Table 1]

According to this table, it is clear that the flavor is improved in all kinds, and the texture is
It is clear that most have improved. In addition,
In the above embodiment, the outer skin 20 is stored at room temperature.
Although the supply is shown, the outer cover 20 is stored and supplied in a freezer showcase, for example, a material with good temperature resistance, such as a package made of a synthetic resin material such as polypropylene. By using the outer skin 2
0 can also be displayed in the frozen showcase, and the choice of sales forms can be expanded.

Table 2 shows an example of texture and flavor when the contents 10 and the outer skin 20 are displayed and sold in a frozen showcase.

[0023]

[Table 2]

According to this table, although the texture and flavor are inferior to those of the case where the outer skin 20 is stored at room temperature, frozen food superior to the conventional integrated package frozen food is provided. Is something that can be done. Also in the case of this embodiment, since the contents 10 and the outer skin 20 can be individually packaged, simple packaging equipment can be used, and the production can be facilitated.

In the above embodiment, the contents 10 and the outer skin 20 are described as a single kind, but it is also possible to use the contents and the outer skin formed by combining a plurality of kinds.
