[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seasoning liquid for salad and a salad set including the seasoning liquid.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the westernization of conventional dietary habits, vegetables that are rich in various vitamins, minerals and dietary fibers and have low calories have been reviewed, and the importance of eating salad in dietary life has been widely recognized. Has been done.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way,
Since it has a peculiar fishy odor and taste, it is common to use various seasoning liquids such as salad dressing and mayonnaise together. And these salad dressings and mayonnaise contain a very large amount of fats and oils so that they can be sufficiently intertwined with a salad and a sufficient taste can be obtained. Therefore, in recent years, seasoning liquids called oil-free dressing that do not contain fats and oils have been known. However, a conventional seasoning liquid that does not contain fats and oils has a poor entanglement with a salad and cannot provide a sufficient taste.

Therefore, it is considered that a food additive such as a thickening polysaccharide is added to increase the viscosity and improve the entanglement with the salad.

However, in recent years, consumers tend to refrain from adding food additives, and foods without food additives are desired. In addition, food additives such as thickening polysaccharides for increasing viscosity also have some calories, although not as much as fats and oils, so in terms of calorie balance in recent dietary habits, a lower calorie is desired. There is.

On the other hand, salad has a problem that it is bulky and it is difficult to efficiently ingest various vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems. A sufficient taste can be obtained by improving viscosity without using food additives, and dietary fiber and minerals that tend to be deficient in calories due to reduced calories are supplemented. It is an object of the present invention to provide a seasoning liquid and a salad set that can easily and efficiently obtain a balanced and balanced diet.

[0008]

The seasoning liquid according to claim 1 is a seasoning, a cut product of konjac potato, a dried powder product of konjac potato, and at least one of the cut product and the dry powder product. On one side, at least one of gel-like konjac glue swollen with water ,
It does not contain .

Then, at least one of the cut product of konjac potato, the dried powdered product of konjac potato, and the gel-like konjac paste in which at least one of the cut product and the dried powdered product is swollen with water. By mixing one into the seasoning liquid, the viscosity is easily increased without increasing the calorie of the seasoning liquid by using konjac potato containing a large amount of dietary fiber and minerals and having almost no calories, for example, a seasoning liquid such as seaweed. Even foods that are not easily entangled with each other can be easily entangled with each other, and the taste of the seasoning liquid can be easily improved, and dietary fiber and minerals can be efficiently ingested.

The salad set according to claim 2 is the same as that according to claim 1.
It is provided with the seasoning liquid described above, a salad, and a container for containing the seasoning liquid and the salad.

[0011] Then, it efficiently contains dietary fiber and minerals and easily increases the viscosity without increasing calories, and easily entangles even foods in which seasoning liquids such as seaweed are difficult to entangle and easily improve the taste by the seasoning liquid. Since the seasoning liquid according to claim 1 and the salad are housed in a container, a salad with a low calorie that efficiently contains dietary fiber and minerals and has a sufficient taste can be easily eaten.

The salad set according to claim 3 is the same as that according to claim 2.
The salad set described above is provided with seaweed.

[0013] In particular, even seaweed which is rich in dietary fiber and minerals but has a low entanglement with the seasoning liquid,
It has a good palate and is easy to eat with a low calorie, rich fiber and mineral rich salad.

The salad set according to claim 4 is the same as that according to claim 2.
Alternatively, the salad set according to the third aspect is provided with an inner container for separately containing the seasoning liquid according to the first aspect with respect to the salad.

Then, the seasoning liquid according to claim 1 is separately stored for the salad in the inner container without coming into contact with the salad, and the seasoning liquid and the salad stored in the inner container are stored in the container. Therefore, the salad is prevented from being seasoned excessively with the seasoning liquid, and the original texture of the salad is maintained for a long time.

[0016]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A salad set according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

The salad set is provided with a container which is made of, for example, synthetic resin and has a substantially cylindrical shape with a bottom, and a lid body which opens and closes the upper surface of the cup. Then, in this container, a salad which is a cut product of various vegetables and a cut product of seaweed is stored, and for example, a seasoning liquid filled in a bag-shaped inner container is stored to form a salad set. ing.

The seasoning liquid is soy sauce, salt, sugar, fructose,
It is prepared by mixing seasonings such as sake and mirin with konjac paste. In addition, konjac glue is
Cuttings of konjac potato obtained by cutting such as crushing or crushing konjac potato, and at least one dry powder of konjac potato such as crushed after cutting konjac potato into flakes and dried It was prepared in a gel form by appropriately adding water to the gel.

When cooking, the lid is removed from the cup, the inner container is opened, and the seasoning liquid is applied to the salad in the cup.

By the way, the cut product of konjac potato has a taste and texture such as astringency peculiar to konjac potato, but when mixed with a seasoning, the taste and texture are masked. There is no need to use refined flour. For this reason, it is possible to inexpensively produce by using a cut product of konjac potato or a dried powdered product. By using a cut product, energy for drying is unnecessary, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, by using a dry powder or granule, it is possible to stably store for a long period of time, facilitate handling, and improve productivity.

As described above, the glucomannan used for forming konjac is mixed with the seasoning, which is not a food additive but a food product of konjac potato, which is cut, dried powder or paste. Since konjac potato is used directly, instead of using refined flour containing as a main component, dietary fiber and calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron,
A viscous seasoning liquid containing sufficient minerals such as zinc and copper can be obtained, and the entanglement with the salad becomes good without being shunned by consumers without the use of oils and fats, and the seasonings are particularly difficult to entangle with seaweed. But you can get a sufficient taste with the seasoning.

Since the konjac potato containing no fat and oil and containing no calories was used as the seasoning liquid, it can be eaten as a diet food without worrying about calories, and konjac potato contains abundant dietary fiber and minerals. As a result, even a salad in which it is difficult to eat a large amount of vegetables can fully consume dietary fiber and minerals and can be used as a health food.

Further, the skin peeled from the surface of the konjac potato produced during the production of the refined flour is not discharged as industrial waste, and the production can be carried out at low cost.

Further, unlike konjac obtained by adding an alkali and heating, konjac potato contains glucomannan without being modified, so that it can prevent an increase in cholesterol and neutral fat, and further improve health. It is useful as a food.

By using a seaweed salad, the dietary fiber and mineral content can be further increased.

Since the salad and the seasoning liquid are contained in one container, cooking is extremely easy, and the seasoning liquid is further contained in the inner container and stored in the container in a non-contact state with the salad. , It is possible to prevent the seasoning liquid from penetrating into the salad to be in an excessively seasoned state, and to prevent the texture such as the texture of the salad from being lost, and easily maintain the original texture of the salad for a long time. it can.
