Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

The present invention relates to a snack food-like health food whose main ingredients are refined pearl barley with germ, barley, refined corn, etc. In recent years, rice production adjustment has been promoted due to the surplus of rice, and as a countermeasure, the production of barley, pigeon wheat, etc. is being promoted nationwide. Among them, pigeon barley was once eaten as food in the ancient times, but in modern times it is widely known as a Chinese herbal medicine, and its medicinal properties are said to be a nourishing tonic, a wart remover, a cure for tumors, appendicitis, and a diuretic. Nowadays, it is touted as a beauty and health food that helps you lose weight. However, converting starch into alpha is difficult for pigeon barley compared to rice barley, and it must be boiled after being soaked in water for a long time, so it is mostly used as tea, and some are used as a mixture with boiled rice. Only. In addition, before, during, and after the war, barley was used as an excellent food for preventing beriberi and other diseases as a mixture of rice and barley. Despite its delicious taste, the use of barley continues to decline, and its use is gradually decreasing as it is mainly distributed as a raw material for food industries such as miso and shochu. However, recently it has been reconfirmed that dietary fiber called "Dietary Leaf Eyeber" greatly contributes to promoting the physiological digestion of food, and the content of hemicellulose refined barley, which is one of "Dietary Leaf Eyeber", has been reconfirmed. It turns out that it contains 80 times more than white rice,
It has been highlighted for health and longevity. The present invention takes into account the above points and provides pigeon wheat, barley,
It is a snack food-like health food made from corn as the main ingredient, expanded into a porous shape, and seasoned appropriately.It has excellent nutritional and tonic properties of pigeon wheat, physiological digestion aid of barley, texture of corn, etc., and has a long shelf life. It is characterized by its ability to promote the health and beauty of each person, increase the consumption of barley, pigeon wheat, and corn, and encourage farmers to use barley, pigeon wheat, and corn as crops for rice cultivation. It is something. Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention will be explained by giving examples. Refined pigeon barley with germ is washed with water, heated, and tempered to promote alpha conversion of starch by about 10 to 20%, and the pearl barley with germ that has been promoted to alpha conversion is mixed with refined barley, purified corn, and various seasonings. After mixing the ingredients in an appropriate ratio, it is put into a puff machine and expanded into a porous shape, molded into granules or rods, cooled and dried, and sometimes flavored. Next, the effects of the present invention will be explained with reference to Examples. The starch of pigeon wheat has 2 particles compared to other rice and wheat.
It is twice as large, and its properties are glutinous. The starting temperature and maximum alphaning temperature of pigeon starch are higher than white rice, and the maximum viscosity is also higher than that of wheat or glutinous rice.Therefore, pigeon barley is puffed in the same state as other barley and corn using a puff machine. If this is done, it is difficult for the starch of the pigeon barley to become alpha, resulting in poor texture (crispness) and poor digestion. In the present invention, the pearl barley is washed with water, heated, and tempered in advance so that even if the germ-bearing pigeon barley is subjected to the puffing process together with other barley or corn, the conversion of starch to alpha proceeds uniformly. It is made into a snack food-like health food by promoting alpha-ization and puffing it at the same time as other barley and corn. The mixing ratio of each grain is shown in the table below as an example.

[Table] Seasonings include sugar, salt, soy sauce, shrimp, curry, onion, garlic, etc. in appropriate proportions to combine various flavors such as salty, soy sauce, curry, and garlic to create an excellent texture. It can be eaten as a snack food-like food with beer, alcohol, whiskey, or tea, or as a snack for children, and can improve health due to the ingredients of pigeon wheat and barley. By increasing consumption and encouraging farmers to use rice as a crop for rice cultivation, it is possible to increase farmers' profits.
This produces the remarkable effects described above.
