[0153] The products prepared in the examples and comparative examples were subjected to total texture analysis (TPA). The index ranges of each detection index are shown in Table 6 below. Among them, the measurement conditions in the total texture analysis (TPA) are as follows: Select the HDP / 3PB probe, the test speed is 2.0 mm / s, the probe pressing distance is 5 mm, the return speed is 2 mm / s, and the trigger force is 5.0 g. Each data was measured 3 times and the average value was calculated. The test results are shown in Table 7.

[0159] The above breaking force is the maximum force value when the sample is broken.

[0160] From the test results of Experimental Example 1, it can be seen that: the protein content in the products of the examples and comparative examples is within the range of 11.0 - 12.0 g / 100 g, the fat content is within the range of 12.0 - 13.0 g / 100 g, and the moisture content is within the range of 7 - 9%. However, the breaking force of some comparative examples is outside the range of 5.0 - 7.0 g, not meeting the index range requirements.

[0161] Experimental Example 2:

[0162] The products prepared in the examples and comparative examples were subjected to sensory determination. Specifically, 15 professionals were asked to conduct sensory evaluation on the foods of the examples and comparative examples. The sensory evaluation criteria are shown in Table 8, and the sensory scores are shown in Table 9.

[0165] Table 9

[0166]

[0167] At the same time, the present invention also carried out combination tests of different parameter conditions within the parameter range described in the examples by referring to the manner of the examples, and conducted the detections and statistics of the above Experimental Examples 1 and 2 to obtain statistical results.

[0168] The statistical results of Experimental Examples 1 and 2 show that: for the products prepared within the process parameter range of the present invention, the protein content is 11.0 - 12.0 g / 100 g, the fat content is 12.0 - 13.0 g / 100 g, the moisture content is 7 - 9%, the breaking strength is 5.0 - 7.0 g. During the shelf life of the product, the texture is intact, the adhesion between cheese and seaweed is moderate, the product is crispy and delicious, the single layer thickness is 1 - 3 mm, and the grain thickness is 3 - 4 mm. The sensory scores of all items reach more than 5 points.

[0169] Experimental Example 3:

[0170] The products prepared in Example 1 were tested according to Experimental Examples 1 and 2 at different time points, and the test results are shown in Table 10 below.

[0171] Table 10

[0172]

[0173] In summary, it can be seen that the products of the present invention have a stable texture during the shelf life, can be stored at room temperature for 6 months, and no phenomena such as detachment, delamination, cracking, fracture, chipping, and crumbing occur during the shelf life of the products.

[0174] Obviously, the above examples are only for clear illustration and not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
