Preparation method and preparation apparatus of dried Areca catechu

Abstract

The present invention discloses a preparation method and a preparation apparatus of dried Areca catechu. The preparation method comprises: (1) fresh Areca catechu fruit selection, (2) cooking, (3) draining, (4) baking, and (5) grading and packaging. The preparation apparatus comprises a heat source supply device and a drying room connected with the heat source supply device, wherein the drying room comprises a heat storage zone and a Areca catechu drying zone, a hot wind inlet and a hot wind outlet are arranged between the heat storage zone and the Areca catechu drying zone, the heat storage zone comprises a steam pipeline connected with a steam-fired boiler, a steam heat dissipating coil pipe arranged on the steam pipeline, and a hot wind machine arranged above the steam heat dissipating coil pipe, the Areca catechu drying zone comprises a drying bed, a moisture wind exhaust machine, a temperature controller, and a temperature control indicator, and the Areca catechu fruit is placed on the baking bed to dry. With the method and the apparatus of the present invention, the industrial production of the dried Areca catechu preparation is achieved, the drying time is shortened by 80-100% compared with the traditional method, the production operating strength is substantially reduced, the environment pollution is not generated, the product does not have the safety risk, the product quality can be protected, the industrialized scale production can be achieved, and the standardized production requirements can be met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of food processing, in particular to a method and device for preparing dried betel nut. Background technique [0002] Fresh betel nuts and dried betel nuts processed from fresh betel nuts have been eaten for hundreds of years in Hainan and Hunan. According to the "Xiangtan City Chronicle", betel nut, as a kind of food, has taken root in Xiangtan for more than 300 years. An Anhui businessman surnamed Cheng learned that an old monk chewed betel nuts to avoid epidemics and collected his dead bodies. Since then, the habit of chewing betel nuts has continued.” Betel nuts have become the main economic crops in tropical my country. Hainan is processed in Hunan. This statement is not entirely true. In fact, Hainan also has betel nut processing. The processing of Hainan betel nut is primary processing, that is, fresh betel nut is processed into dried betel nut. Hunan then further processes the dried betel nut into various flav...
