Spirulina tablet added with glycerol and processing method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a spirulina tablet added with glycerol and a processing method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing 60-120 meshes of the spirulina powder with the glycerol according to the mass percent rate of 100 : 1 to 3; and pressing in a tablet press of which the pressure is 10-20 tons to form the tablets. The glycerol has the function of reducing water activation, so the water activity of the product can be reduced after the glycerol is added in the spirulina powder, the storage time of the spirulina powder is effectively prolonged, and the number of microorganism is reduced.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a spirulina tablet added with glycerin and a processing method thereof. Background technique: [0002] Spirulina is an ancient prokaryotic organism, rich in protein, vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids, various trace elements and other nutrients. Among the animals and plants discovered so far, it is the nutrient with the richest, most balanced and most suitable for human needs. Therefore, spirulina is recognized as the most ideal product in the world, and is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "one of the best protein sources for human beings in the 21st century". In the 1980s, Taiwan had reached an annual output of 300 tons of spirulina. In the 1980s, the mainland began experimental cultivation and research, and mass production began in 1990. At present, there are hundreds of cultivation and processing factories, with an annual output of 2,000 tons. The breeding factories are mainly distributed in areas with ...

Problems solved by technology

However, high-purity products are not conducive to digestion and absorption because the tablets are too compact; if the tablets are not compact, they are prone to fragmentation during packaging and transportation, and cannot be sold as commodities.
