Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and relates to but is not limited to a food processing method, device, equipment and computer readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to the problem of nutritional balance. Scientific research has found that improper consumption of cereals or insufficient intake of cereals can lead to adverse health problems. If people eat refined food for a long time but lack the intake of cereals, they will have high blood sugar, sugar intolerance, and even diabetes, which will seriously affect their health.

[0003] In actual consumption, because the taste of coarse grains in cereals is poor, it is necessary to make the coarse grains into coarse grain paste through a wall breaking machine to improve the original taste of the coarse grains. However, the wall breaking machine usually uses high temperature to make the coarse grains into coarse grain paste after adding water, which often leads to a long gelatinization time of the coarse grain paste and increases the glycemic index of the coarse grain paste, which further affects the health of the consumer. SUMMARY

[0031] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings, and the described embodiments should not be regarded as limitations to the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] In the following description, "some embodiments" are referred to, which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it can be understood that "some embodiments" can be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments, and can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0033] In the following description, the terms "first\second\third" are only to distinguish similar objects, and do not represent a specific order of the objects. It can be understood that "first\second\third" can be interchanged in a specific order or sequence as allowed, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0035] Based on the problems existing in the related art, the embodiments of the present application provide a food processing method. The method provided by the embodiments can be implemented by a computer program. When the computer program is executed, the steps of the food processing method provided by the embodiments are completed. In some embodiments, the computer program can control a processor in a household appliance to execute. Figure 1 An implementation flowchart of the food processing method provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps.

[0036] In step S101, in response to a received start instruction, high-temperature dry heat treatment is performed on the to-be-processed food material to a first preset temperature, and a processed to-be-processed food material is obtained.

[0037] Here, the start instruction can be an instruction triggered by pressing a physical button or a virtual key, or an instruction triggered by voice, or an instruction sent by other devices based on communication connection. The to-be-processed food material can be one or a combination of multiple kinds of coarse cereals and grains. For example, the to-be-processed food material can be one or a combination of multiple kinds of sorghum, buckwheat, oat, broad bean, black bean, etc.

[0038] When performing step S101, the working chamber of the appliance contains the food to be processed, but no water is injected. High-temperature dry heat treatment refers to the appliance directly heating the food to be processed in the working chamber until it reaches a first preset temperature. Here, the first preset temperature can be 95 degrees, 100 degrees, 120 degrees, 140 degrees, etc. In this embodiment, the first preset temperature can be between 95 degrees and 160 degrees. The first preset temperature can be a default value or a custom setting value. The first preset temperature can provide good temperature conditions for steam treatment.

[0039] In this embodiment, to save heating time and quickly bring the temperature of the food to be processed to the first preset temperature, high-power heating such as 800 watts, 1000 watts, or 1400 watts can be used. Furthermore, this heating process can be a continuous heating process or a periodic heating process. In addition, the temperature of the food to be processed can be obtained in real time using a temperature sensor, or the temperature of the food to be processed can be obtained periodically at certain time intervals using a temperature sensor.

[0040] In implementing step S101, in order to ensure that the food to be processed is heated evenly, the heating process is accompanied by low-speed stirring at 200 revolutions per minute (rpm) or 400 rpm, so as to achieve uniform heating of the food to be processed and avoid the illusion that only local temperature reaches the first preset temperature. Furthermore, if the heating is periodic heating, the low-speed stirring operation can be performed during the heating process, or during the non-heating process, or both during the heating and non-heating processes, or the low-speed stirring operation can be performed randomly. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0041] Step S102: Control the water adding device to inject water into the processed food ingredients and obtain the current temperature of the food ingredients after water injection.

[0042] Here, the home appliance can identify the type of food to be processed by receiving input information or its own sensors, and further determine the amount of water required to make food from the food. Then, it controls the water adding device to inject the required amount of water into the processed food. Furthermore, the temperature sensor obtains the current temperature of the food after water injection in real time or periodically.

[0043] Step S103: Determine the current temperature as the second preset temperature, control the current temperature to be maintained at the second preset temperature until the first preset heat preservation time is reached, and stop heating.

[0044] Here, the second preset temperature is lower than the first preset temperature. The second preset temperature can be 70 degrees Celsius, 80 degrees Celsius, etc. In this embodiment, the second preset temperature can be between 70 and 80 degrees Celsius. This second preset temperature can be a default value or a custom setting. When the current temperature is determined to be the second preset temperature, it is maintained at the second preset temperature for a duration equal to the first preset heat preservation time. The first preset heat preservation time can be 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, etc. In this embodiment, the first preset heat preservation time is between 8 minutes and 20 minutes. This first preset heat preservation time can be a default value or a custom setting; this embodiment does not limit this. Since the food to be processed gelatinizes during this heat preservation stage, the heat preservation time is related to the type of food to be processed. Generally, food with lower hardness corresponds to a shorter heat preservation time, and food with higher hardness corresponds to a longer heat preservation time. For example, when the ingredient to be processed is oats, the heat preservation time is 10 minutes; while when the ingredient to be processed is black beans, the heat preservation time is 14 minutes. In this embodiment, in order to maintain the current temperature of the ingredient to be processed at the second preset temperature, during the heat preservation stage, heating can be performed intermittently at low power such as 80 watts or 100 watts to complete the gelatinization of the ingredient to be processed. When the current temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, heating can be used to bring the current temperature up to the second preset temperature; when the current temperature is higher than the second preset temperature, the heating device can be stopped to cool down the current temperature until the second preset temperature is reached.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first preset heat preservation time is between 8 and 16 minutes. After the current temperature is controlled and maintained at the second preset temperature for the first preset heat preservation time, the current temperature of the food to be processed can be raised to a third preset temperature, such as 85 degrees or 90 degrees, by heating. If the third preset temperature is higher than the second preset temperature but lower than the first preset temperature, the current temperature is maintained at the third preset temperature for the second preset heat preservation time. The second preset heat preservation time can be 5 minutes, 8 minutes, 10 minutes, etc., and is between 5 minutes and 10 minutes. The second preset heat preservation time can be a default value or a custom value, and this application embodiment does not limit this. In this way, gelatinization can be carried out at two different lower temperatures, achieving diversity in gelatinization methods.

[0046] Step S104: Stir at the first preset speed until the preset stirring time is reached to obtain the prepared food.

[0047] Here, the ingredients are pulverized by agitation at a first preset speed to obtain palatable food. This first preset speed can be 600 rpm, 1000 rpm, 1400 rpm, etc. In this embodiment, the first preset speed can be between 600 rpm and 1400 rpm. The first preset speed can be a default value or a custom setting. The preset agitation time refers to the total agitation time at the first speed. This preset agitation time can be 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 7 minutes, etc. In this embodiment, the preset agitation time can be between 3 minutes and 7 minutes.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, when agitating at a first preset speed, the agitation can be performed periodically at the first preset speed. That is, each agitation cycle includes a duration of agitation and a duration of pause without agitation. Further, the agitation cycle corresponding to the first preset speed can be determined from a preset relationship table, where the preset relationship table stores the correspondence between speed and agitation cycle. Higher speeds correspond to shorter agitation durations and longer pause durations, while lower speeds correspond to longer agitation durations and shorter pause durations. For example, when the first preset speed is 1200 rpm, the corresponding agitation duration and pause duration are both 20 seconds; when the first preset speed is 800 rpm, the corresponding agitation duration and pause duration are 40 seconds and 10 seconds, respectively.

[0049] In other embodiments of this application, when agitating at the first preset speed, the agitation can be performed continuously at the first preset speed. When the first preset speed is higher, a shorter preset agitation time corresponds to the shorter preset agitation time; while when the first preset speed is lower, a longer preset agitation time corresponds to the longer preset agitation time.

[0050] This application provides a food processing method. Upon receiving a start command such as a button or voice prompt, a household appliance initiates high-temperature dry heat treatment to heat the food to be processed to a first preset temperature, resulting in food that is easier to cook. Then, water is injected into the processed food through the appliance's water-adding device, forming a mixture of food and water, and the current temperature of this mixture is recorded. Further, when the current temperature is a second preset temperature, the temperature is maintained at the second preset temperature (which is lower than the first preset temperature). Heating is stopped when the temperature maintenance duration reaches a first preset holding time. Finally, the appliance is started to agitate at a first preset rotation speed to pulverize the food. Agitation is stopped when the agitation duration reaches a preset agitation time, resulting in the prepared food. Because high-temperature dry heat treatment makes the food easier to cook, it shortens the food preparation time. Furthermore, gelatinization occurs at a relatively low temperature (the second preset temperature), thus reducing the degree of starch gelatinization in the food, increasing the content of resistant starch, and lowering the glycemic index of the food.

[0051] Based on the above embodiments, this application further provides a food processing method, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0052] In step S201, in response to the received start command, the heating device is controlled to operate at a first power to heat the food to be processed to a first preset temperature.

[0053] In this embodiment of the application, the start command, the first preset temperature, and the ingredients to be processed can be referred to the description in step S101.

[0054] Here, to save heating time and quickly bring the temperature of the food to be processed to the first preset temperature, the first power can be a relatively high power of 800 watts, 1000 watts, or 1400 watts, and the food to be processed is heated using this first power. Furthermore, this heating process can be a continuous heating process or a periodic heating process. In addition, the temperature of the food to be processed after heating can be obtained in real time using a temperature sensor, or the temperature of the food to be processed can be obtained periodically at certain time intervals until the food to be processed is heated to the first preset temperature.

[0055] In this embodiment of the application, step S201 can be implemented in the following two ways:

[0056] Method 1: Control the heating device to periodically heat the food to be processed at a first power according to a preset cycle until the food is heated to a first preset temperature, and stir it at a second preset speed during the heating process.

[0057] Here, the second preset rotation speed is less than the first preset rotation speed. The preset cycle indicates that the heating device heats periodically. For example, the preset cycle can be 60 seconds, and within one cycle, it can heat for 50 seconds first, and then pause for 10 seconds; here, the first rate can be 800 watts, 1000 watts, 1400 watts, etc. for heating.

[0058] In this embodiment of the application, in order to ensure that the food to be processed is heated evenly, the heating process is accompanied by stirring at a second preset speed. That is, the stirring operation is performed simultaneously within 50 seconds of heating in each cycle, so that the food to be processed is heated evenly. The second preset speed can be a low speed such as 200 rpm or 400 rpm.

[0059] Method 2: Control the heating device to periodically heat the food to be processed at a first power according to a preset cycle until the food is heated to a first preset temperature, and to stir at a second preset speed during non-heating processes.

[0060] In this embodiment of the application, the stirring can also be performed at a second preset speed during non-heating processes. Referring to the example in Method 1, the stirring operation is performed within 10 seconds of pausing heating in each cycle, so that the food to be processed is heated evenly.

[0061] Step S202: Control the heating device to operate at the second power to control the food to be processed to maintain the first preset temperature until the first preset time is reached.

[0062] Here, the purpose of heating with a second power is to maintain the temperature of the food to be processed at a first preset temperature, that is, to achieve continuous high-temperature dry heat treatment of the food to be processed during a first preset time period. The second power can be a low power such as 80 watts or 100 watts. The heating device can continuously or periodically heat with the second power to maintain the temperature of the food to be processed at the first preset temperature until the first preset time is reached. The first preset time can be 2 minutes, 4 minutes, 6 minutes, etc. In this embodiment, the first preset time is between 2 minutes and 10 minutes. The first preset time can be a default value or a custom value, and this embodiment does not limit it. Through high-temperature dry heat treatment, the nutritional components such as starch and protein in the food to be processed can be changed, promoting the formation of complexes between carbohydrates and fats, and ultimately increasing the content of resistant starch.

[0063] Step S203: Use steam to steam treat the heated food to be processed, and obtain the processed food.

[0064] Here, at a first preset temperature, steam acts on the outer surface of the food to be processed, rapidly inactivating enzymes such as trypsin inhibitors, resulting in food that is easier to cook. Further, taking water vapor as an example, step S203 can be achieved in the following two ways:

[0065] Method 1: Control the water adding device to inject water into the heated food to be processed at a first flow rate, so that the added water vaporizes based on a first preset temperature, generating water vapor until a second preset time is reached, thus obtaining the processed food to be processed.

[0066] Here, the first flow rate can be a low flow rate such as 0.1 ml / s or 0.2 ml / s. Water is injected into the food to be processed through the water adding device at the first flow rate. Since the first flow rate is low, the amount of water injected per unit time is also small. In addition, the temperature of the food to be processed and the heating device is relatively high at this time. Therefore, when the injected water comes into contact with the food to be processed or the heating device, the injected water will be heated and vaporized into water vapor. When the time for generating water vapor reaches a second preset time, the water adding device is controlled to stop injecting water. The second preset time can be 2 minutes, 4 minutes, 6 minutes, etc. In this embodiment, the second preset time is between 1 minute and 10 minutes. The second preset time can be a default value or a custom value. This embodiment does not limit this. Finally, by the water vapor contacting the outer surface of the food to be processed, the activity of enzymes such as trypsin inhibitors in the food to be processed is rapidly inactivated, resulting in food to be processed that is easier to cook.

[0067] Method 2: Control the steam generator to generate steam, and control the steam generator to inject steam into the food to be processed at a second flow rate until the second preset time is reached, so as to obtain the processed food.

[0068] Here, the appliance has a steam generator installed on the side wall of the heating plate or working chamber near the heating plate. The second flow rate can be 0.4 liters per second, 0.5 liters per second, etc., and the second preset time can be referred to the description of the second preset time in Method 1. Steam is directly generated by controlling the steam generator and injected into the food to be processed for the second preset time. Finally, the steam contacts the outer surface of the food to be processed, rapidly inactivating enzymes such as trypsin inhibitors, resulting in food that is easier to cook.

[0069] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the food to be processed remains at a first preset temperature during the steam treatment stage, the heating device can be controlled to heat continuously or periodically at a low power such as 80 watts or 100 watts during the steam treatment stage.

[0070] Step S204: Start the agitator.

[0071] Here, taking a high-speed blender as an example, the mixing device can be a blade. In this embodiment, the mixing device can be started within a second preset time period, that is, the mixing device is started during the steam treatment process.

[0072] Step S205: Control the beating device to beat the ingredients at a third preset speed.

[0073] Here, the third preset speed is lower than the first preset speed. The third preset speed can be a lower speed such as 50rpm, 100rpm, or 200rpm. The mixing device is controlled to mix at this lower speed so that the food to be processed can fully contact the steam. It can also pre-crush the food to be processed into half-particles, thereby shortening the subsequent gelatinization and mixing time.

[0074] Step S206: Control the water adding device to inject water into the processed food ingredients and obtain the current temperature of the food ingredients after water injection.

[0075] The implementation method of step S206 is the same as that of step S103. Therefore, the implementation method of step S206 can refer to the implementation method of step S103.

[0076] Step S207: Determine whether the current temperature is the second preset temperature.

[0077] Here, if the current temperature is the second preset temperature, it indicates that the heat preservation and gelatinization stage can be carried out, and then proceed to step S211; if the current temperature is not the second preset temperature, it indicates that heat preservation and gelatinization cannot be carried out at present, and proceed to step S208 to continue to determine the relationship between the current temperature and the second preset temperature.

[0078] Step S208: Determine whether the current temperature is lower than the second preset temperature.

[0079] Here, if the current temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, it needs to be heated to the second preset temperature, and step S209 is executed; if the current temperature is not lower than the second preset temperature, it indicates that the current temperature is higher than the second preset temperature, and step S210 is executed.

[0080] Step S209: Control the heating device to operate based on the first power to heat the food to be processed after adding water to the second preset temperature.

[0081] Here, the first power can be a relatively high power of 800 watts, 1000 watts, or 1400 watts. The first power is used to heat the food to be processed after adding water until it reaches the second preset temperature, which can be 70 degrees, 80 degrees, or other temperatures.

[0082] Step S210: Control the heating device to stop working and wait for the food to be processed to drop to the second preset temperature after water is added.

[0083] Here, the heating device is stopped, allowing the food to cool naturally to the second preset temperature after water is added. Alternatively, to quickly cool to the second preset temperature, cold air can be blown in to shorten the cooling time.

[0084] Step S211: Control the current temperature to maintain at the second preset temperature until the first preset heat preservation time is reached.

[0085] Here, the heating device can be controlled to continuously or periodically heat at low power such as 80 watts or 100 watts to maintain the current temperature at the second preset temperature, and the current temperature can be maintained at the second preset temperature for a first preset heat preservation time, such as 8 minutes, 10 minutes, or 15 minutes.

[0086] Step S212: Heat the ingredients to be processed after adding water to the third preset temperature.

[0087] Here, the third preset temperature is higher than the second preset temperature but lower than the first preset temperature. The third preset temperature can be 85 degrees Celsius, 90 degrees Celsius, etc. The current temperature can be maintained at the third preset temperature by controlling the heating device to continuously or periodically heat at a low power such as 80 watts or 100 watts.

[0088] Step S213: After adding water, maintain the food to be processed at the third preset temperature until the second preset heat preservation time is reached, and then stop heating.

[0089] Here, the second preset heat preservation time can be 5 minutes, 8 minutes, 10 minutes, etc. When the current temperature is maintained at the third preset temperature and the second preset heat preservation time is reached, the heating device is controlled to stop heating.

[0090] Step S214: Based on the first preset rotation speed and the preset relationship table, determine the stirring cycle corresponding to the first preset rotation speed.

[0091] Here, the preset relationship table stores the correspondence between rotation speed and agitation cycle, where the agitation cycle includes the agitation duration and pause duration for each agitation. Therefore, the first preset rotation speed can be found in the preset relationship table, and then the corresponding agitation duration and pause duration can be determined. For example, when the first preset rotation speed is 1200 rpm, the corresponding agitation duration and pause duration are both 20 seconds; when the first preset rotation speed is 800 rpm, the corresponding agitation duration and pause duration are 40 seconds and 10 seconds, respectively.

[0092] Step S215: Based on the first preset rotation speed, the mixing is performed periodically according to the mixing time and the pause time until the preset mixing time is reached.

[0093] In this embodiment, the preset mixing time can be 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 7 minutes, etc. Higher speeds correspond to shorter mixing times and longer pause times, while lower speeds correspond to longer mixing times and shorter pause times. For example, when the first preset speed is 1200 rpm, the corresponding mixing time and pause time are both 20 seconds, that is, mixing at 1200 rpm for 20 seconds and pausing for 20 seconds; when the first preset speed is 800 rpm, the corresponding mixing time and pause time are 40 seconds and 10 seconds respectively, that is, mixing at 800 rpm for 40 seconds and pausing for 10 seconds. This cycle continues until the preset mixing time is reached, at which point mixing stops.

[0094] In this embodiment, through steps S201 to S215 above, after receiving the start command, the heating device is controlled to heat the food to be processed to a first preset temperature at a higher first power; then, the heating device is controlled to maintain the temperature of the food to be processed at the first preset temperature at a lower second power for a first preset holding time. During this preset holding time, high-temperature dry heat treatment can change the nutritional components such as starch and protein in the food to be processed, promote the formation of complexes between carbohydrates and fats, and ultimately increase the content of resistant starch; then, steam is used to treat the heated food to be processed, so that the activity of enzymes such as trypsin inhibitors in the food to be processed is rapidly inactivated, resulting in food to be processed that is easier to cook; and during the steam treatment process, a stirring device is also started, and the stirring device is controlled to stir at a lower stirring speed to achieve the desired effect. The process involves ensuring the ingredients are fully exposed to steam and undergo initial pulverization, breaking them down into semi-granules to shorten subsequent gelatinization and mixing times. Water is then added to the processed ingredients via the appliance's water supply device, creating a mixture. The current temperature of this mixture is recorded and maintained at a second preset temperature. Heating continues until the temperature reaches a first preset holding time, followed by a third preset temperature and a second preset holding time. Finally, the appliance is activated at a first preset speed to further pulverize the ingredients. This pulverization process is stopped once the preset pulverization time is reached, resulting in a well-prepared food with a good texture and a low glycemic index.

[0095] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application further provides a food processing method, such as... Figure 3As shown, this method is applied to household appliances such as blenders and soy milk makers. Here, taking the process of making a grain paste from mixed grains using a blender as an example, the method includes:

[0096] Step S301: The blender starts working.

[0097] The blender enters the automatic cooking program by receiving button input.

[0098] Step S302: Control the chassis heating.

[0099] Here, the base is the heating plate, which controls the heating work. Under normal circumstances, the heating plate is located at the bottom of the blender cup to raise the temperature and control the temperature of the bottom of the cup to between 95 degrees and 160 degrees.

[0100] Step S303: Add a small amount of water.

[0101] Here, the water adding device can be controlled to add a small amount of water. Generally, when the heating plate temperature exceeds 80 degrees or step S302 is completed, the water adding device is started, and the water adding device is controlled to slowly add water from the water tank into the cup. During this process, the water falls into the cup and is heated by the heating plate to form steam, which is used to process the grains. The processing time is 2 to 10 minutes.

[0102] In some embodiments, during the addition of a small amount of water, the blade can be controlled to stir at a low speed to initially break the grains into half-grain form. The blade speed range can be between 100 rpm and 200 rpm.

[0103] Step S304: Add water according to the ratio.

[0104] Here, under normal circumstances, the ratio of grains to water is between 1:5 and 1:8. When implementing step S304, the required amount of water can be added based on the current type of grains.

[0105] Step S305: Low-temperature gelatinization of grains.

[0106] Here, the mixed grains are kept at 70 to 80 degrees Celsius for 8 to 16 minutes after water is added; then, the temperature is raised to 85 to 90 degrees Celsius and maintained for 5 to 10 minutes. The temperature in both stages is lower than the boiling point, thereby achieving low-temperature gelatinization.

[0107] Step S306: Stir and beat to form a paste.

[0108] Here, the heating plate stops working, and the mixing device is activated, running at high speeds such as 600rpm, 1000rpm, and 1400rpm for 3 to 7 minutes. The cooking process is now complete.

[0109] Through steps S301 to S306 above, the blender is first started for cooking, heating the heating plate until it reaches a high temperature of 95 to 160 degrees Celsius. Next, a small amount of water is added to generate steam and process the grains. This allows the activity of enzymes such as trypsin inhibitors in the grains to be quickly inactivated by the steam heat, thus quickly cooking the grains. Subsequently, water is added in proportion, and the grains are gelatinized at a low temperature. Through the low-temperature gelatinization process, the grains are gelatinized at a lower temperature. Finally, the grains are blended to make a grain paste. The resulting grain paste has a higher resistant starch content and a lower glycemic index than conventionally cooked grain paste.

[0110] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application further provides a food processing method, such as... Figure 4 As shown, this method is applied to a high-speed blender. Taking the blender's process of making a grain paste from mixed grains as an example, the mixed grains are placed inside the blender's working chamber. The method includes:

[0111] Step S401: The blender starts working.

[0112] Step S402: High-temperature dry heat treatment is performed on the grains.

[0113] Here, before making the mixed grain paste, the mixed grains undergo high-temperature dry heat treatment, heating them to between 95 and 160 degrees Celsius and maintaining this temperature for 2 to 10 minutes. Furthermore, during step S402, the motor speed is controlled between 50 and 400 rpm to ensure even heating of the mixed grains.

[0114] Step S403: Add a small amount of water and use the residual heat to generate water vapor for wet heat treatment.

[0115] Here, a small amount of water is added to generate steam, which acts on the grains. The action time is controlled from 1 to 10 minutes, and the motor speed is controlled from 50 rpm to 200 rpm. This ensures that the grains are fully in contact with the steam and also allows for preliminary crushing of the grains.

[0116] Step S404: Add water, heat, and gelatinize by absorbing water at low temperature.

[0117] Here, after adding a certain proportion of water, heat it to a temperature between 68 and 96 degrees Celsius, and maintain this temperature for 1 to 20 minutes.

[0118] Step S405: Mix into a paste.

[0119] Here, the heating plate stops working, and the mixing device is started, using high speed settings such as 600rpm, 1000rpm, and 1400rpm, mixing for 3 to 7 minutes.

[0120] Step S406: End cooking.

[0121] This completes the preparation and cooking of the mixed grain porridge.

[0122] Through steps S401 to S406 above, the production of mixed grain paste is initiated. First, the mixed grains are subjected to high-temperature dry heat treatment to alter the starch, protein, and other nutrients in the grains. In particular, changes in the starch structure will lead to changes in the subsequent gelatinization degree and the content of resistant starch. Next, high-temperature wet heat treatment is performed using steam. Subsequently, water is added to the mixed grains, and two stages of low-temperature gelatinization are carried out to increase the content of resistant starch. Finally, heating is stopped, and the mixed grains are stirred at a high speed to pulverize them, resulting in a mixed grain paste with high nutritional value, good taste, and a low glycemic index.
