Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a processed laver product, and more particularly, to a novel processed laver product obtained by binding sesame to laver.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Nori is a general term for seaweed contained in Asasanori and similar Amanori genus, and is an excellent nutritional food that has the highest protein content among seaweeds and is rich in vitamins and minerals. is there. Most of the seaweed is used as dry seaweed or plate seaweed and grilled seaweed obtained by grilling the seaweed, and part of the seaweed is used as tsukudani, frikake, and the like.

[0003] On the other hand, sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is not only excellent in flavor and texture, but also contains antioxidants, so that it is useful for preventing the deterioration of food quality. Has been attracting attention as an excellent health food due to its action of preventing peroxidation and preventing cancer and aging.

[0004] That is, it is considered that peroxides and carcinogens generated in the animal body due to the toxic effect of oxygen have a bad effect on animal cells. Is thought to be related to aging and, consequently, lifespan (free radical aging theory). Therefore, naturally occurring antioxidants, such as sesame seeds, can be used in foods, especially health foods and nutritional foods, as well as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, as substances that support antioxidant biological defense mechanisms in vivo. It is highly expected in the technical field.

[0005]

As described above, the use of nori is limited, and the consumption of seaweed has reached the limit due to the westernization of Japanese dietary habits. is not. Therefore, there is a long-awaited need in the art for the development of new uses of laver. In addition, in the production of conventional laver products, a large amount of waste laver that cannot be sold as a product is generated and is disposed of in a large amount, and disposal thereof is a major problem.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems at a glance, and when the surface of plate nori is wetted and sprinkled with sesame, it is eaten. New unknown foods with excellent flavor and texture were obtained, and new findings were found to be very useful as health foods and snacks. And the serious drawback of sesame and laver peeling during drying is solved by the use of starch as a result of intensive research (that is, the flavor, quality, appearance, etc. are enhanced or improved, but are degraded. It is not a small matter, and we succeeded in preventing the phenomenon of sesame and laver peeling off), further studied, and finally completed the present invention. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to carry out the present invention, it is necessary to attach sesame to a raw material for laver. As a raw material for laver, various types of laver products such as plate laver, dried laver, grilled laver, seasoned laver, and debris laver by-produced during production are used. Food materials obtained by steaming under normal or pressurized conditions can also be used.

[0008] In the present invention, "Nori" refers to the original algae that inhabit the sea, and "Nori" refers to those obtained by processing and processing laver. For example, fully dried (further baked) seaweed plate (roasted seaweed), seasoned seaweed and the like can be exemplified.

The steaming of the raw material may be performed by applying steam to the raw material, and a method and conditions commonly used for cooking foods are appropriately used. For example, the raw material may be mounted on a belt conveyor, and steam may be injected from above and / or below to perform steaming. The steaming may be performed in a dome. In particular, the pressure steaming is preferably performed in a closed space rather than in an open space. In particular, when steaming at high pressure, an autoclave is used. The steaming may be either a continuous type or a batch type, and it is preferable to use a mesh or other porous belt for the belt of the belt conveyor so that steam and condensed water can pass through.

[0010] Steaming is carried out in accordance with the usual method of steaming foods. In the case of steaming at normal pressure, it is 70 to 150 ° C, preferably 80 to 12 ° C.
Treat with steam at 0 ° C. Pressure steaming includes all the steps of treating with steam at a pressure of normal pressure or more, but at a pressure of 0.5 kg / cm ² or more, preferably 5 to 10 kg / cm ^2.
kg / cm ² of pressurized steam (steam temperature is 60-140 ° C,
Preferably, the treatment may be performed at 70 to 100 ° C). Also,
If necessary, high-temperature and high-pressure steaming using an autoclave (for example, at a temperature of 150 to 250 ° C. and a pressure of 10 to 50 kg / cm ² )
May be.

[0011] In this way, the seaweed chips can be obtained by steaming the seaweed progeny and / or the primary dried plate seaweed. The drain that is discharged has a unique bitterness, and unpleasant components are separated and removed by the steaming treatment. The obtained seaweed chips do not leave an unpleasant aftertaste, have good taste, and maintain EPA, glutamic acid, taurine and other useful components, so that they can be used as food materials as they are, and in various shapes and sizes. It can be molded and seasoned if necessary. For example, it can be cut into a plate-shaped chip-shaped food material by cutting a strip-shaped strip, or it can be rolled.

[0012] To the various nori raw materials thus prepared,
Sesame is adhered through the viscous substance. To do this, apply a viscous substance to the surface of the laver material and then sprinkle with sesame to apply it, apply a mixture of viscous substance and sesame to the surface of the laver material, or apply a mixture of viscous substance and sesame to the laver material. It may be kneaded inside.

As a method of applying the viscous substance, the viscous substance itself or a viscous substance-containing liquid (having a concentration of 0.001 to 10
(Determined according to the purpose within the range of 0%) according to the purpose) on the surface of the laver material (after humidification if necessary) by spraying, roller, brushing, etc., or dipping in a viscous substance (containing liquid) In this case, the laver raw material and the viscous substance may be appropriately brought into contact.

In the present invention, the viscous substance is gelatin,
Water candy and / or polysaccharides are used. In the present invention, as the polysaccharide, microfibrous cellulose, modified starch, various kinds of polysaccharides such as thickening polysaccharides, modified products thereof and the like can be used singly or in combination of two or more. Soluble starch, dextrin, British gum, oxidized starch, starch ester, starch ether, octenyl succinate ester, and the like, intermediate products generated when starch is decomposed by adding an acid, alkali, heat, an enzyme or the like are appropriately used.

As the thickening polysaccharide used in the present invention, natural gums are widely used, and examples thereof include the following: xanthan gum, guar gum, locust bean gum, tragacanth gum, tamarind gum, carrageenan, furceleran, One or more kinds of substances derived from seaweeds, seeds, resins, and microorganisms, such as gum arabic, gellan gum, syllume, and curdlan.

As the sesame, in addition to sesame seeds usually used for food, crushed to crushed products, pasted products and the like are appropriately used according to the purpose. For example, sesame in a solid form is preferable when the sesame is to be adhered on the surface of the laver material, and paste is preferable when kneaded inside the laver material.

The seaweed raw material to which sesame is adhered (contained) in this way is molded into an appropriate shape and size. (If sesame is adhered to a pre-molded material, the main molding step is unnecessary. ), Dried according to a conventional method to obtain a processed nori product.

The processed seaweed product thus produced is
As it is; or further, fish eggs such as mentico, kazunoko and tobiko; seafood such as sea urchin, taraski, shredded squid; dairy products such as cheese; spices such as wasabi and mustard; Vice food, nori snacks,
It can be used as seaweed chazuke, seaweed frikake, and the like.

As described above, the seaweed raw material itself and / or
Or, even if the surface is treated with spices or seasonings (vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, chemical seasoning, etc.), a delicious product can be obtained, and if it is seasoned thickly, You can cook seaweed chazuke that is delicious and easy to operate simply by putting on the rice and pouring hot water (tea). Less than,
An embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0020]

Example 1 Of the harvested Nori algae, a lower grade product that cannot be marketed was washed with water, spread on a mesh belt conveyor to a thickness of about 1 cm, and adjusted to a temperature of 100 to 120 ° C. from above the conveyor. The steam was sprayed for 5 minutes. The drain dripped and a laver chip was obtained.
Nori chips obtained by the steaming process in this way include:
Isoka did not remain, had no unpleasant aftertaste, and was delicious. Further, no change was found in the content of useful components such as EPA, glutamic acid, and taurine.

An excellent laver chip was obtained by performing the same treatment as described above except that primary dried laver was used in place of the laver protophyta (the steam injection time was set to 20 minutes).

After spraying a 10% aqueous solution of corn starch on the surface of each of the nori chips produced in this manner, sesame is sprinkled so as to cover 30% of the surface of the nori chips. Therefore, it was dried with hot air and molded and cut into strips to produce processed laver products.

[0023]

Example 2 After applying water syrup to the surface of laver chips derived from Nori protophyta obtained in Example 1, sprinkle crushed sesame over the whole surface, spray rice vinegar from above and cut into strips and cut. This was rolled and then dried with hot air to produce a processed seaweed product. The obtained product has no peeling of sesame,
It was suitable as a healthy snack.

[0024]

Example 3 An equal mixture of a 20% aqueous gellan gum solution and sesame paste was added to the laver chips derived from Nori protophyta obtained in Example 1 and 10% of the laver chips were mixed. After that, it was grilled laver. The resulting grilled laver-like processed laver product is a dried product, but it does not peel off sesame and laver, can be eaten as a side dish of rice as it is, and can also be used as a snack by cutting it thinly We were able to.

[0025]

Example 4 After spraying a 5% aqueous solution of dextrin on the surface of plate nori, an equal mixture of sweet salt mentico and sesame was allowed to adhere to the entire surface by a roll, dried with hot air, and then 5 mm wide and 5 cm long. And processed into strip-shaped processed laver products. The obtained thin strip-shaped processed seaweed product can be used, for example, as a base for seaweed chazuke. Sprinkle it on rice and then pour hot water (tea) on it.

[0026]

According to the present invention, a novel processed seaweed product which has hitherto been unknown has been developed for the first time. This processed seaweed product not only significantly increases the demand for seaweed, which has reached a plateau, but also can be used as a raw material for a large amount of waste seaweed that could not be provided to the market conventionally, so that pollution prevention,
The present invention is also excellent in two aspects, that is, the effective use of valuable natural resources.

As described above, not only is sesame excellent in antioxidant properties, but also seaweed is also excellent in antioxidant properties, and both sesame and seaweed contain many nutrients. Therefore, the present invention provides
