Instant kelp water retaining agent and water retaining method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of food processing. Aiming to solve the technical problem that the shelf life of existing instant kelp is shortened in the storage process due to the water exuding of the kelp, the invention provides an instant kelp water retaining agent. The water retaining agent is a mixture of xanthan gum, carrageenan and beta-cyclodextrin in the weight ratio of (3-7): (7-10): (5-7). In the production process, through adding the water retaining agent into kelp mixing materials, water in the kelp can be effectively maintained and the water in the kelp can be effectively prevented from exuding when seasonings and the kelp are fully combined, so that the seasoning effect of the kelp is improved. The instant kelp produced by utilizing the water retaining agent and the water retaining method is crisp in mouthfeel and has the advantages that the original flavor of the kelp can be fully maintained and the shelf life of the instant kelp is prolonged.
