Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> This invention is a cheese injection method used for injecting and filling cheese into solid processed foods such as legs of cephalopods such as octopus and squid, or solid processed foods such as fish meat. Regarding machines.

<Conventional technology> Traditionally, solid processed foods such as octopus and squid legs have been processed using seasonings or smoked drying. is the current situation.

As a result, the taste obtained from processed octopus and squid legs was a combination of the octopus and squid flavor that was concentrated during processing and the flavor of the seasoning, resulting in a strong taste with a poor mouthfeel (aftertaste). .

In addition, processed octopus and squid legs shriveled and lost their shape, which gave a poor visual impression to consumers and affected the visual impression they received.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> The problem to be solved by the invention is to harmonize the taste by adding a maloyaka slippery taste to the mixed taste of octopus or squid and the taste of seasonings. Provided is a cheese injection machine for solid processed foods made from seafood such as cephalopods or fish meat, which can process processed foods containing solid cheese, maintain the shape of processed foods, and improve visual sense. It's about doing.

<Means for solving the problem> The technical means taken by the present invention to solve the above problem is to attach a supply pipe to the pressurized chamber into which the hard cheese is introduced, and to attach the supply pipe to the tip of the supply pipe. An opening/closing operation valve is installed to send out the pressurized and fluidized hard cheese, and a solid workpiece is attached to the opening/closing valve in a prick-like manner, and the hard cheese is injected and filled into the workpiece. It is equipped with an injection nozzle that can be attached and detached.

The solid workpiece may be any of the legs of an octopus or squid separated from the body, or fish, such as dried fish meat cut into three pieces.

<Function> In the process of processing a solid workpiece, the present invention inserts the workpiece into an injection nozzle and attaches the workpiece to the injection nozzle, and controls the opening/closing operation valve of the hard cheese that has been pressurized and flowed into the supply pipe from the pressurization chamber. Inject it through the injection nozzle and into the injection port at the tip of the nozzle or into the workpiece. Then, when the tip of the workpiece begins to swell as the hard cheese is injected, move the workpiece little by little in the pulling direction, and when the entire workpiece swells, close the opening/closing operation valve. Stop injecting cheese.

<Example> An example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.
The cheese injection machine A is installed during a processing process such as smoking processing of a solid workpiece (hereinafter referred to as octopus or squid legs) 1, for example, after a drying process that is performed after a seasoning process. This is to inject and fill the hard cheese 2 into the legs 1 of the octopus or squid that have come, and it consists of a pressurizing chamber _a1 , a supply pipe _a2 connected to the pressurizing chamber _a1 , and this It consists of an opening/closing operation valve _a3 attached to the tip of the supply pipe _a2 , and an injection nozzle _a4 detachably connected to the operation valve _a3 .

The pressurizing chamber _a1 is filled with hard cheese 2, which is fed into the supply pipe a2 with a desired pressurizing force, and then opened by opening _the opening/closing operation valve _a3 to open the inlet of the injection nozzle _a4 3 is a cheese supply source that is pressurized and injected into the legs 1 of octopus or squid, and the cheese storage cylinder 1 has an open top and is installed in a hanging manner on the machine frame (Sez shown in the figure), etc.
01, an operating plate (so-called plunger chip) 102, which is operated by the operation of a pressurizing device such as a hydraulic cylinder (shown in the figure), is inserted and slidably vertically.

The supply pipe a ₃ has the function of guiding the hard cheese 2 supplied under pressure from the pressurizing chamber a ₁ to the side of the bottom 4 of the cheese storage cylinder 101 and holding the injection nozzle a ₄ horizontally. It is an elbow tube made by bending a desired metal pipe into an L shape, and one end of the elbow tube is connected and fixed to each of several communication holes 5 drilled in the bottom 4 of the cheese storage cylinder 101. They are provided approximately radially on the bottom 4 of the cylindrical body 101.

The opening/closing operation valve a ₃ is an operation part that sends out or stops the hard cheese 2 that has been pressurized and flowed into the supply pipe a ₂ into the injection nozzle a ₄ , and is located approximately at the bottom 4 of the cheese storage cylinder 101 . Attach it to the other end of each supply pipe _A2 installed radially.

The injection nozzle _A4 is for attaching the leg 1 of an octopus or squid in a prick-like manner from the cut end of the leg 1, and sequentially injecting and filling the hard cheese 2 from the tip side of the leg 1 to the cut end side, so that it has a desired elongated shape. A metal pipe is cut to match the length of the leg 1 of the octopus or squid, and one end is cut in a slanted shape so that it can smoothly enter the leg 1. One end serves as the injection port 3, and the other end It is removably connected to each opening/closing operation valve _A3 using any connection means and is installed horizontally on the operation valve _A3 .

In addition, this injection nozzle _A4 has various thicknesses (diameters) and lengths to match the thickness and length of the legs 1 of the octopus and squid, and can be opened and closed according to the legs 1 of the octopus and squid. It is used by attaching it to Valve _A3 .

In this cheese injection machine A, octopus or squid legs 1, which have been seasoned during the processing process and dried to the desired firmness, are inserted into each injection nozzle _A4 , and then the legs 1 are held with one hand and the other hand is inserted. Operate the opening/closing operation valve _a3 by hand to start pouring the hard cheese 2. Then, when the tip side of the leg 1, that is, the injection port 3 of the injection nozzle a ₄ that has been pierced, begins to swell as cheese 2 is injected, move the leg 1 little by little in the direction of removal, so that the entire leg 1 returns to its original shape. When the cheese 2 was injected and filled to the cut end of the foot 1, the opening/closing operation valve _A3 was closed to stop the injection of the cheese 2, so that the cheese filled foot B, which was close to the original shape, could be processed. (Figures 3 and 4).

It should be noted that the cheese-filled foot B in which the cheese 2 is injected and filled is sent to a smoke-drying process to be made into a processed food.

<Effects of the Invention> Since the cheese injection machine of the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to process a cheese-containing processed food in which cheese is injected and filled into a solid workpiece in the process of processing the solid workpiece. As a result, the cheese-containing processed food can be enjoyed with a harmonious flavor that is a mixture of the taste of octopus or squid and the taste of seasonings, with the addition of the maloyak smooth taste unique to cheese.

In addition, processed cheese-containing processed foods maintain their original shape due to the cheese injected inside, which improves the consumer's visual impression of the food as a food, as well as exudes freshness as a food. Processed food containing cheese.

Therefore, it is possible to process a cheese-containing processed food that has a blend of the taste of octopus or squid and the taste of seasonings, and adds a maloyak smooth taste to achieve a harmonious taste, while still maintaining the original shape of the processed food. It is possible to provide a cheese injection machine that can improve visual sensation.

Thus, the intended purpose can be achieved.
