Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is intended to be used at home for pulverization.
The present invention relates to a pepper and a spice containing the pepper placed in a container provided with a crushing device.

(Prior Art) Pepper has a peculiar pungency and aroma, and is used for various uses as a spice and a flavor. For example, spices called soups and shichimi are produced by pulverizing dried pepper to a final fine particle size using a stamp pulverizer or the like. That is, conventionally, the pepper was ground to the final particle size and provided to homes and the like.

However, the pepper immediately after the pulverization has a fresher flavor than the pepper after a certain time has passed after the pulverization provided by the above method.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In view of the above-mentioned prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a pepper in a pulverized container that can always obtain the flavor of fresh pepper when used.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As a result of research, the present inventors have provided a crushing device having a crushing space having a crushing space with a specific clearance and a sufficiently dried pepper having a particle size exceeding a specific size. Put it in a container,
It has been found that when crushed by the crushing device at the time of use, the crushed powder is crushed to a particle size suitable for eating, exhibits a very good flavor, and becomes a new type of spice in a container which has never been seen before. Good flavor is also achieved when the pepper is stored for a long time and then crushed. In addition, other spices are mixed with the above-mentioned chili pepper, and as a form conventionally called Shichimi,
It has been found that when these are pulverized in a mixed state as described above, an extremely rich flavor in which the flavors of the respective raw materials are mixed can be achieved.

The present invention has been made based on the above findings,
A dried pepper containing 90% by weight or more of 500 μm or more is put in a container having a crushing device having opposing crushing members and a clearance between them of 0 to 300 μm. The main point is the pepper in a crushing container.

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

The chili pepper used as a raw material is dried by a conventional method, and preferably has a water content of 3 to 16% by weight (hereinafter simply referred to as%), preferably 5 to 10%. If the water content exceeds 16%, it tends to be difficult to apply to the pulverizer and the generation of flavor tends to be poor. On the other hand, if it is less than 3%, the degree of drying is too strong and the flavor is not preferable. Therefore, the water content in the above range makes it easy to be crushed, and a chilly pepper having a good flavor is obtained by crushing.

Further, the pepper is in a state containing 90% or more of those having a particle size of 500 μm or more. In other words, according to the pepper having a certain degree of particle size, the flavor component is retained,
In addition, since the pulverizability is good, the pulverized pepper has a particle size suitable for eating, and at the same time, a good flavor can be obtained. When the particle size of the pepper is in a range smaller than the above, the pulverization suitability is deteriorated, and the above-mentioned effects are not sufficiently obtained. The pepper may be used in the form of a hole, but it is generally preferable to use a pepper having a particle size of 8000 μm or less from the viewpoint of pulverization suitability.

When the pepper is prepared so as to contain 90% or more of the above-mentioned particles having a particle size of 500 μm or more (hereinafter, this preparation is referred to as crushing).
Must be carried out in such a manner that the flavor of the pepper is not impaired as much as possible. For this purpose, it is preferable to use a pulverizer such as a cutter mill (feather mill), a power mill, and a roll machine, and it is particularly preferable to use a cutter mill or a power mill. If a roll machine is used, two opposing rollers, each having a saw-tooth profile on the surface, are D: D (Dull vs. Dull).
The crushing may be performed by driving in the meshing method of l). When the crushed pepper is adjusted to the desired particle size of the present invention, it may be performed using a shifter having an appropriate opening.

Pepper has a particle size of 800 μm or more, preferably 1000 μm.
It is desirable that 90% or more of those containing m or more be contained. In other words, when the particle size of the pepper is increased to the above range, more flavor components can be retained and pulverization suitability is improved, so that the pulverized pepper can achieve better flavor.

According to the pepper of the present invention, a good flavor can be achieved when crushed by a crushing device described below, so that it can be mixed with another flavor to prepare a mixed spice that exhibits a good flavor by crushing. it can.

In the above case, it is preferable to prepare a mixture with another spice having a particle size substantially equal to the particle size of the pepper. Thereby, when the mixed spice is stored in a container or the like, specific gravity separation between the raw materials can be prevented, and a homogeneous mixed state can be maintained.
Therefore, if this is pulverized, a mixed spice having a uniform flavor can be constantly obtained.

For example, in the case of preparing a spice which is usually called Shichimi, other spices may be used alone or in any combination, such as Japanese pepper, green saury, sesame, cinnamon, poppy seed, hemp seed and the like. In the above case, as pepper, particle size 500-4000
μm, preferably 800 to 2000 μm, containing 90% or more. That is, the larger the particle size of the pepper, the better the pulverizability and the flavor retention, but some spices, which are raw materials for Shichimi, have a relatively small particle size. Therefore, by setting the particle size of the pepper to the above in consideration of the small spices, it is possible to improve the flavor of the ground spices, and to obtain a mixed spice that is uniformly ground while preventing specific gravity separation. .

The mixing ratio of the pepper and the spice can be 20:80 to 90:10 (weight ratio), whereby a mixed spice having an excellent aroma as a seven taste is obtained.

Next, a container provided with a pulverizing device for containing the above-described chili and the mixed spice containing the same will be described with reference to the drawings.
