Method for sterilizing and processing spice powder

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for sterilizing and processing spice powder, comprising the following steps of: (1) preprocessing spice powder: uniformly mixing spice powder, a carrier and water with a mixer for later use, wherein the carrier is one or several of flour, starch, rice flour and corn flour; (2) preheating a twin screw extruder; (3) sterilizing and processing: feeding mixed material in step (1) in the hopper of the extruder, starting screws, adjusting the rotating speed of the screws to 60 to 120 resolutions / minute, feeding at a constant speed, controlling the feeding speed at 30 to 60kg / h, conveying and extruding the mixed material in the extruder, and extruding out through the die opening of the extruder; and (4) cooling and grinding. The method can kill bacteria and improve the cooking features of spices. The losses of volatile fragrance components are much less than losses resulting from traditional heating and sterilizing methods. The method can meet the requirements for essence production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a processing method of spices, in particular to a sterilized processing method of spice powder. Background technique [0002] Different spices can be sterilized according to their flavor, color, microorganism, shape and other characteristics. At present, irradiation is mostly used for sterilization, but it has a relatively large impact on the maintenance of the color of spices, and it will be restricted when exported. Many condiment companies in my country use irradiation to sterilize spices. Although the cost is low, it will cause the problem of residues of irradiation products. Although the safety of irradiated food is still inconclusive, many consumers are still skeptical about the safety of such food and have concerns when purchasing. Moreover, irradiation will also have adverse effects on the color, aroma and other flavor quality of many foods, such as fading the color of the processed food, deteriorating the taste, and ...

Although the safety of irradiated food is still inconclusive, many consumers are still skeptical about the safety of such food and have concerns when purchasing

Moreover, irradiation will also have adverse effects on the color, aroma and other flavor quality of many foods, such as fading the color of the processed food, deteriorating the taste, and deteriorating the smell, etc.

There are many export-oriented enterprises producing instant rice and quick-frozen food in my country, which need to use a large amount of spices as raw materials. Since Japan and the European Union prohibit or strictly restrict the import of irradiated food and foods containing irradiated seasoning, these export-oriented enterprises are forced to use The consequence of purchasing high-priced non-irradiated spices abroad is to increase the purchase cost and transportation time, and reduce the market competitiveness of the product
