Coconut meat candy and production method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a coconut meat candy and a production method of the coconut meat candy. The production method comprises the steps of performing coarse grinding and fine crushing on selected fresh coconut meat after washing, and then carrying out shearing emulsification to obtain highly emulsified coconut meat pulp; mixing the highly emulsified coconut meat pulp, glucose syrup, white granulated sugar, candy additive and salt to prepare coconut meat syrup, and then preparing the coconut meat candy by the traditional candy manufacturing process. According to the production method of the coconut meat candy, the fresh coconut meat is utilized to be directly processed into the highly emulsified coconut meat pulp which replaces coconut milk used as the raw material of the traditional coconut candy production, rich and healthful nutritional ingredients in the coconut meat are utilized, the obtained coconut meat candy is rich in coconut flavor, and compared with the traditional coconut candy, the taste of the coconut meat candy is closer to the fragrance of the coconut fruit, and besides, the coconut meat is added, the sugar content per unit volume in the candy is reduced, the coconut meat candy has good chewing effect, and high economic and nutritive values, and the production process of the coconut meat candy is simple.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, the main technical feature of traditional coconut sugar production is the preparation of raw coconut juice. First, fresh coconut meat is selected, which is manually cleaned and then coarsely crushed. Using a piston press, the coarsely crushed coconut meat is squeezed to separate the coconut juice ( 55%) and degreased coconut (45%), coconut juice is used for the production of coconut sugar, degreased coconut is mainly used as an auxiliary material in poultry feed processing, low economic value, or directly abandoned

Since degreased coconut is rich in nutritional dietary fiber (about 15-20%) beneficial to the human body, the coconut raw materials in the coconut sugar production process are limited to the coconut milk squeezed from coconut meat. The nutritional dietary fiber contained in coconut meat and A small amount of fat and protein are not utilized, resulting in the loss of nutrients and waste of economic value, which cannot better reflect the original fragrance and nutritional content of coconut
