A kind of preparation method of fiber softening type betel nut prolonging shelf life

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for making fiber-softened betel nuts with extended shelf life, which includes the following steps: raw material selection, cleaning, soaking treatment, rotten steam explosion treatment: softening fibers, seeding in vacuum, and improving juice when the betel nuts are chewed Drying, roasting seeds: vacuum drying, gluing, stuffing, cutting seeds, removing kernels, marinating, drying, packaging, and sterilizing, so as to obtain fiber-softened areca nut products with a long shelf life. The object of the present invention is to provide a fiber softening type areca nut production method that prolongs the shelf life. The steam explosion in the production method softens the cellulose in the betel nut on the one hand, which is convenient for the taste of the prepared liquid, and on the other hand focuses on improving the betel nut. Chewy juice; at the same time, vacuum seeding and roasting greatly reduce the chance of contact between betel nuts and bacteria, and greatly extend the shelf life of the product to more than half a year.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of edible betel nut processing, in particular to a fiber softening type betel nut preparation method for prolonging the shelf life. Background technique [0002] Areca catechu L. (scientific name: Areca catechu L.), is a monocotyledonous plant, primary order, palm family, areca nut is an evergreen tree with erect stems, tree-like, more than 10 meters high, up to 30 meters high, with obvious ring leaves Scar, monoecious, inflorescence multi-branched, ovary oblong, fruit oblong or ovoid, seed ovate, flowering and fruiting period from March to April. Betel nut is native to Malaysia, China is mainly distributed in tropical regions such as Yunnan, Hainan and Taiwan, and it is also widely cultivated in tropical Asia. [0003] China's betel nut market is mainly concentrated in Hunan and Hainan. According to data, my country's betel nut industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and its output value has exceed...

Problems solved by technology

At present, the betel nut planting industry is developing rapidly, while the betel nut processing industry is relatively lagging behind. The processed products are mostly traditional betel nut food. The betel nut produced by the existing processing technology is easy to harden and has high hardness. Long-term chewing of betel nut can lead to tooth and maxillofacial wear and root longitudinal cracking, resulting in premature tooth loss. Chewing betel nut can cause chemical and mechanical stimulation to the oral mucosa, thicken the texture of the mucosa, and cause mucosal lesions; moreover, the current production of betel nut products is not easy Preservation, usually after two months, it will deteriorate, the color will deteriorate, and the original flavor will be lost, which will seriously affect sales. This is also the main reason why betel nut consumption is mainly concentrated in traditional consumption areas and cannot be widely promoted.
