Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing a snack foods-like health food using germinated pigeon oats and barley as main ingredients.

In recent years, production adjustment of rice cultivation 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 wheat was even served as food in ancient times,
In modern times, it is widely known as a Chinese herbal medicine, and its medicinal properties are said to be a nourishing and tonic, a cure for warts, swelling, appendicitis, and diuresis.In modern times, 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 conventionally it has to be soaked in water for a long time and then boiled, so it is often used as tea or
In addition, before, during, and after the war, barley was used as an excellent food for preventing beriberi as a mixture of rice and barley. They came to be known as the middle class, their food was delicious, and the use of barley continued to decline dramatically.Its use was mainly distributed as a raw material for food industries such as miso and shochu, and its use gradually decreased. There is. However, recently, "dietary leaf eye bar"
It has been reconfirmed that dietary fiber greatly contributes to promoting the physiological digestion of food, and refined barley contains 80 times more hemicellulose, one of the dietary fibers, than white rice. As a result, it has become a focus of attention for health and longevity.

Taking the above points into consideration, the present invention provides a method for producing a snack foods-like health food made from germ-bearing pigeon oats, barley, and corn as the main raw materials and expanded into a porous shape by adding various seasonings. The pigeon wheat, which has difficulty in converting to alpha, is washed with water in advance.
The starch is heated and tempered to promote its alpha conversion, and the alpha-ized pigeon wheat is mixed with barley, corn, and seasonings and puffed into a porous shape using a puff machine, resulting in a highly nutritious product with an excellent texture. It is characterized by obtaining snack food-like food.

Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention will be explained by giving examples.

Refined pigeon wheat with germ is washed with water to determine the moisture content.
Water is absorbed to 20 to 25%, and the absorbed barley is heated and dried in a heating dryer at a temperature of 70 to 120°C for 30 to 60 minutes to reduce the moisture content to 12 to 15% and the degree of alphaning of starch to 10 to 10. After accelerating it to 20%, it is stored in a tempering tank, and the tempered pigeon wheat with germ that promotes alpha conversion, milled barley, refined corn, and seasoning are mixed in appropriate ratios (for example, weight ratio). , 30% pigeon wheat, 55% barley, 10% corn, and 5% seasoning), mixed in a blender to homogenize it, and then fed into a puff machine, where each raw material goes through the processes of kneading, heating, compression, and puffing. It is made by completely alphaning the starch contained in the starch, expanding it into a porous shape, molding it into any shape such as granules or rods, and cooling and drying it.

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 alpha conversion temperature and maximum alpha conversion temperature of pigeon barley starch are higher than that of white rice, and when pigeon barley is puffed in the same conditions as other barley or corn using a puff machine, alpha conversion of pigeon barley starch is completely achieved. The texture (crispy feeling) is bad,
It also causes indigestion. Therefore, in the present invention, the pigeon barley whose starch is difficult to convert into alpha is heated and tempered in advance to promote alpha conversion to 10 to 20%, and the pigeon barley that has been promoted to alpha conversion is used with other barley or The mixture is mixed with corn and various seasonings and puffed using a puffing machine to expand it into a porous shape, and the starch is completely converted into alpha to obtain various flavored health foods similar to snack foods with excellent texture. This health food is
It is a new health food that contains pigeon oats and barley in a porous form rather than in the form of rice.The combination of pigeon oats and barley provides excellent nutrients that can improve human health, and it is similar to snack foods. As food, alcohol, beer, whiskey, or as a snack for tea,
It is also ideal as a snack for children, and has a high shelf life, so it can also be used as preserved food in emergencies. Note that the promotion of alpha conversion of pigeon starch is not limited to those exemplified in the above configuration, and various heat sources can be used.
Seasonings may be blended before being put into the puff machine, or may be seasoned with edible oil and seasonings in a coating machine after puffing and molding, such as sugar, salt, soy sauce, shrimp, curry, onion, garlic, etc. By mixing these in appropriate proportions, it is possible to combine various flavors such as salty, soy sauce, curry, and garlic. The consumption of barley and pigeon wheat, whose consumption is decreasing, will be provided as new foods using the method of the present invention, thereby increasing their consumption, encouraging farmers to use barley and pigeon wheat as crops for rice cultivation, and increasing farmers' profits. It brings about the remarkable effects mentioned above.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. After washing the refined pigeon barley with water and absorbing water, the pearl barley that has been heated and dried to promote the degree of alpha-ization of starch, milled barley, purified corn, and various seasonings are mixed, and then put into a puff machine. The starch contained in each raw material is completely turned into alpha through the steps of charging, kneading, heating, compression, and swelling, and is expanded into a porous shape and molded into any desired shape.
A method for producing a snack foods-like health food mainly made of refined pigeon wheat, barley, refined corn, etc., which is characterized by cooling and drying.
