Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for producing a flaky food of cereals such as corn flakes to which a powdery or granular additive is attached, or a granular food such as puffed rice.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, it has been proposed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 39-14478 to attach a powdery / granular additive for the purpose of nutrition enhancement to flaky foods of cereals such as corn flakes and granular foods such as puffed rice.

The method disclosed therein is a method of spreading and stirring edible oils and fats containing a nutrition-enhancing additive such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids on the surface of dried puffed rice by stirring.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in this method, the edible oil and fat adhering to the puffed rice is exposed on the surface, so that it is easily oxidized by contact with air, and even if an antioxidant is added, this oxidation problem Could not be completely resolved.

Also, considering the texture problem, stickiness problem, and nutritional balance problem, it is not possible to increase the amount of fats and oils unnecessarily, so it is possible to increase the amount of nutrition-enhancing additives to be included. There wasn't. Therefore, there has never been a nutrition-enriched food in which three major nutrients are kept in good balance and vitamins and minerals are added in necessary amounts.

Therefore, the present invention is a complete nutritional food in which the three major nutrients are well-balanced, vitamins and minerals are added, and is excellent in preservability, and is in the form of flakes to which powdery and granular additives are attached. Another object is to provide a method for producing a granular food product.

(Means for Solving Problems) The present inventors have completed the present invention as a result of earnest research to solve the above problems and achieve the object of the present invention.

That is, in the present invention, after coating a flaky or granular food of cereals with a sugar solution, a powdery or granular additive containing protein, oil and fat, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals is attached, and then coated with a sugar solution. Consists of.

Examples of the raw material for the flaky or granular food of cereals in the present invention include wheat, barley, rye, naked barley, pigeons, rice, corn, mylo, soybean and the like.

In order to obtain flaky foods of these cereals, the cereals may be steamed, cooled, pressed, dried, and roasted by a conventional method. The flaky food thus obtained is preferably adjusted to have an average diameter of about 5 to 20 mm.

Further, in order to obtain the above-mentioned grain-shaped food product of grains, the grains may be soaked in water, steamed, pressed, dried, and heat-expanded by a conventional method. The granular food thus obtained has an average diameter of about 3
It is preferable to adjust it to be ~ 10 mm.

The sugar solution for coating used in the present invention is preferably sugar, brown sugar, brown sugar, isomerized sugar, glucose, starch syrup, honey or the like, and the concentration of the sugar solution is preferably about Bx75 to Bx80.

The powdery or granular additive referred to in the present invention means a powdery or granular material containing protein, oil and fat, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, and the particle size is preferably adjusted to 80 to 150 mesh such as 10 mesh or less. .

Among these, the protein may be a vegetable protein or an animal protein, but among the vegetable proteins, soybean protein,
Powders of wheat protein and the like are preferable, and among animal proteins, meat powder, milk casein, egg white powder and the like are particularly preferable.

As the oils and fats, powdery vegetable oils and fats are preferable, and corn oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, wheat germ oil, coconut oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil and the like can be mentioned, but especially corn oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, Wheat germ oil is preferred.

Any dietary fiber may be used as long as it is edible, and examples thereof include wheat flour, rice sugar, corn bran, and wood fiber.

As micronutrients, there are vitamins and minerals,
Vitamins, vitamin A, Bitanmin _{B 1, B 2, B 6} , niacin, vitamin C, D, E, etc., minerals, calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium and the like.

The powdery or granular additive of the present invention can be used alone or in combination of two or more of the above-mentioned respective components. For example, the balance of the three major nutrients in the final product thus obtained is 20% protein. It is preferable that the fat content is 10%, the carbohydrate content is 65%, and the dietary fiber content is about 15%.

The method of the present invention will be specifically described. First, the flaky food or granular food is coated with the sugar solution. The coating amount of the sugar solution at this time is preferably 5 to 10% of the total weight of the raw materials used. This amount corresponds to about 1/3 to 1/2 of the total coating amount of the sugar solution. The coating may be performed uniformly by spraying using, for example, a spraying device.

Then, before the coated sugar solution is dried, a mixture of the powdery and granular additives according to the present invention is immediately applied. At this time, if necessary, seasonings, flavors and the like may be added.

Then, it is coated again with the same sugar solution as above. The coating amount of sugar solution at this time is based on the total weight of raw materials used.
It is preferably 10 to 15%. This amount corresponds to about 1/2 to 2/3 of the total coating amount of the sugar solution. This coating method may be performed in the same manner as above, for example, by spraying using a spraying device or the like, but even if there is a method other than spraying, as long as it can completely cover the additive, Any method will do. However, the method of immersing in the sugar solution is not preferable because the amount of the sugar solution added becomes too large.

The total coating amount of sugar solution is 15 ~ of the total weight of raw materials used.
It is preferable to adjust to 20%.

If the total coating amount of the sugar liquid exceeds the above range, the amount of carbohydrates becomes excessive and the nutritional balance as a fortified food is lost. On the other hand, if the amount is less than the above range, the adhesion of the powdery or granular additive may be insufficient, or the surface of the powdery or granular additive may not be coated uniformly, resulting in poor storage stability.

In addition, in the present invention, it is also possible to use liquid or solid type oil and fat as the oil and fat in addition to the powdered oil and fat. In this case, after liquefying the fats and oils, the flaky or granular food may be attached to the food before the first coating with the sugar solution, or may be attached before the second coating. In either method, the surface of the oil or fat may be finally coated with the sugar solution.
In this case, the method for adhering the oil or fat may be any method, and for example, spraying may be performed using a spraying device.

The flaked or granular food product subjected to the second coating is dried to obtain a product.

(Effect of the Invention) According to the method of the present invention, a flaky or granular food product in which powdery or granular additives or fats and oils are completely coated with a sugar solution can be obtained. Therefore, the adhesion of the powdery or granular additives and fats and oils is high, and the contact between them and the air is also cut off, so that denaturation of proteins and oxidation of fats and oils can be prevented, and the preservability of the food itself is significantly improved. .

Also, unlike traditional grain flakes or granular foods,
Since the nutritional components such as protein, fat and dietary fiber are mixed in a well-balanced manner, it becomes a complete nutritional food, and a sufficient nutritional value can be ingested even in the case of only the flaky or granular food according to the present invention.

The flaky or granular food obtained by the method of the present invention may be eaten as it is, or may be eaten with milk or the like.
