Snakegourd fruit flesh powder and preparing process thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a process for preparing snakegourd fruit flesh powder, which comprises the steps of separating fresh snakegourd fruit flesh from snakegourd fruits and seeds; grinding the flesh into liquid; controlling the temperature to fix color; removing gas in the liquid; homogenizing; spray drying and the like; and obtaining the dried snakegourd fruit flesh powder. The process is catenated and compact and omits measures such as adding synthetic antioxidants, preservatives and the like in traditional processing of biologics, so that formulated vegetable protein polysaccharide and vegetable gelatine have functions such as improving effects and resisting oxidation. The obtained flesh powder is characterized in that the color is natural pale orange-yellow, the powder is fine, smooth and slightly scented, the pectin content is 65% - 70%, the water content is 6% - 7%, powder mobility and dispersibility are good, rehydration is quick, and the rehydration property is strong. The powder is convenient to store and transport and can be used as main and assisting materials to formulate other biologics. The powder contains bioactive substances including lots of the pectin, the vegetable protein polysaccharide and the like, and has multiple biological functions such as enhancing immunity, resisting radiation, resisting tumors, delaying senescence and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of food processing, in particular to trichosanthes fruit pulp powder and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, all the utilization of Trichosanthes resources only involves its fruit, pericarp, seeds, leaves, etc. There is no literature record for the separate utilization of Trichosanthes fruit pulp, or the fruit pulp is discarded while the seeds are washed in the Trichosanthes seed producing area. It causes environmental problems to rivers and wasteland. The inventor foresees that the deep utilization value lies in the biological activity of the contents of the Trichosanthes fruit pulp. In fact, the continuation of the storage time of Trichosanthes fruit directly affects its various indicators, especially biochemical indexes, which inevitably limits or reduces its subsequent utilization value. The significance of the present invention creates a new way of utilization of Trichosanthes...
