Safe production technology for high-quality honey-roasted sunflower seeds

Abstract

A safe production technology for high-quality honey-roasted sunflower seeds is characterized by comprising steps as follows: 1) impurity removal for raw materials; 2) application of a metal detector; 3) coating; 4) numerically-controlled continuous roasting; 5) infrared sterilization: infrared sterilization is conducted for 2-3 s; 6) application of a color sorter: mildewed and rotten fruits are removed by the aid of the color sorter; 7) nitrogen-charged packing: automatic nitrogen-charged packing is conducted, and the remaining oxygen amount is controlled to be smaller than 1.5%. The safe production technology has the benefits as follows: the honey-roasted sunflower seeds can meet the requirement of commercial sterilization through three steps of major technological treatment of impurity removal, numerically-controlled continuous roasting and sterilization, the shelf life of the sunflower seeds is prolonged, the safety of the sunflower seeds is improved, and the market competitiveness of the sunflower seeds is enhanced. The honey-roasted sunflower seeds are convenient to carry and high in storability and are nutritional food with the market potential.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a process for roasting sunflower seeds, in particular to a safe production process for high-quality honey-roasted sunflower seeds. Background technique [0002] Sunflower seeds can be divided into three categories according to their characteristics and uses: [0003] (1) Edible type: large grain, thick husk, low kernel yield, accounting for about 50%, and oil content of kernel, generally 40% to 50%. The peel is mostly black and white. It is suitable for frying or as feed. [0004] (2) Oil type: small grains, plump kernels, thin skin, high kernel yield, accounting for about 65% to 75%, oil content in kernels generally reaches 45% to 60%, and the peel is mostly black or gray stripes , suitable for oil extraction. [0005] (3) Intermediate type: The fertility and economic characteristics of this type are between the edible type and the oil type. [0006] Ordinary sunflower oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, so it is not ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006]Ordinary sunflower oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, so it is not suitable for heating and cooking, and it is easy to form peroxides after heating, which is harmful to human body

Therefore, sunflower oil is rarely seen in the market, and it is not suitable for Chinese people's habit of frying and cooking. It is only eaten in a few areas.
