The invention discloses an optimized dried ballonflower
drying method based on a hot air condition, and belongs to the technical field of
food processing. The method comprises the following steps: cleaning freshly-harvested dried ballonflower, carrying out water control pretreatment, and then
drying by adopting three-stage
temperature gradient hot air. The
drying process is carried out within the temperature range of 40-60 DEG C at the air speed of 1.5-3.0 m / s, the initial-stage temperature is 40-55 DEG C, the middle-stage temperature is 50-60 DEG C, the
tail-stage temperature is 40-50 DEG C, and finally the
moisture content of the dried ballonflower is 8-12%. Optionally, the pretreatment may include
blanching or treatment with a specific color protection solution. According to the method, through cooperative control of temperature,
wind speed and time, the rehydration property of the dried ivy mosses can be effectively improved, the texture, color and
flavor quality of the dried ivy mosses can be optimized, the method is suitable for industrial standardized production, and the problems that in the prior art, the product quality is unstable, and the texture and
flavor are difficult to consider are solved.
