METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS IN THE PRODUCTION OF FOODSTUFFS

$
0
0
The invention relates to a method for controlling the product features during the production of foodstuffs attributable to the product groups raw sausage and cooked sausage, pies, cooked meat products or similar products, in particular to obtain spreading properties or cutting properties. According to the invention, for the production of raw sausage the usual starting materials are salted, mixed and coarsely pre-chopped, not in a deep-frozen state, however. This mixture is subjected to fermentation and acidification, followed by a high-pressure treatment for the coagulation of protein, which simultaneously leads to an inactivation of microorganisms, with the mechanically separated raw meat materials remaining separated. This is followed by a fine comminution and filling. Similarly, for the production of cooked sausage usual starting materials are used, but are processed in the non-heated state, i.e. initially salted, mixed and coarsely pre-chopped. This mixture is subjected to a high-pressure treatment in order to predefine the later consistency of the end product by means of the pressure intensity and the treatment time and the resulting degree of protein denaturation, wherein the recipe mixture comminuted to the final grain size subsequently is filled into a sales wrapping and subjected to a second high-pressure treatment, so that altogether fat separations in the product are prevented and the spreadability of the product over a longer period is preserved. Surprisingly, the high-pressure treatment intensifies the perception of sensorially activated substances, so that the salt content in the product can be reduced in a health-promoting manner.

EQUIPMENT AND PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF FOOD PRODUCTS HAVING CLOSED LOOP CONTINUOUS SHAPES

$
0
0
To cut food material, in particular potatoes and sweet potatoes, into continuous close-loop shapes, a cutting blade assembly is used. The cutting blade assembly consists of an outer and at least one inner concentrically arranged cutting blade, where each cutting blade has a close-loop cross-sectional shape. The space between adjacent cutting blades forms a cutting tube. The cutting tubes ultimately form the cross-sectional shapes of the cut food material. Supports, such as blade guides and plungers are slidably positioned between the cutting blades in the cutting tubes. These supports maintain the distance between adjacent cutting blades and assist in separating cut food material from the cutting blades. This cutting blade assembly may be used in a method and system for cutting food material into continuous close-loop shapes.

OVEN BAKED FRENCH FRY WITH REDUCED ACRYLAMIDE LEVEL

$
0
0
An oven baked French fry with reduced and relatively low acrylamide level. Raw cut strips are initially subjected to an extended blanch step for increased sugar leaching and to prepare the strips with a preferred soft internal texture. A coloring agent such as annatto or the like is included within the blanching medium, or otherwise added during a post-blanching dwell step. The blanched strips are next dried for an extended time period at a relatively low dryer temperature to produce controlled moisture reduction without becoming tough and chewy. The dried strips then travel through a hot air impingement oven at a mid-range temperature for a relatively short time interval. The air-impinged strips are then frozen, followed by oil coating and optional seasoning. The thus-treated strips are finish prepared by oven baking to produce finished strips having high quality sensory attributes, in combination with an unexpectedly low acrylamide level.

0
The present invention obtains instant noodles which do not cause sticking and are easily loosened. Especially, the present invention provides an instant noodles producing method capable of preventing the sticking of the noodle strings even when the noodle strings are straight-type noodles. In a production process of the instant noodles, powdered oil is applied to the surface of a dough sheet or the surfaces of the noodle strings before steaming. Especially, after the powdered oil is applied to the dough sheet. the dough sheet is rolled out once or more. With this, the powdered oil is firmly fixed to the surfaces of the noodle strings. Thus, an extremely high sticking preventing effect can be obtained by an extremely small amount of the powdered oil.
