Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of convenience food technology, specifically relating to a self-heating canned abalone extract and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Canned foods are widely popular due to their long shelf life, portability, and ease of consumption. Traditional canned foods are mostly stored at room temperature and need to be eaten cold or heated, which limits their availability in situations where heating is unavailable, such as outdoors, while traveling, or in emergencies. Self-heating canned foods solve this problem by using a built-in chemical heating pack, allowing people to enjoy hot food anytime, anywhere.

[0003] Abalone is a traditional and prized seafood, rich in protein, polysaccharides, and trace elements. It has high nutritional value and health benefits such as nourishing yin and yang, moisturizing dryness, and promoting bowel movement. Phyllanthus emblica is a fruit used in both food and medicine. It is rich in vitamin C, gallic acid, ellagic acid, and amlaol, among other antioxidants. It has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, aiding digestion and strengthening the stomach, and promoting saliva production and relieving cough.

[0004] Currently, most self-heating canned foods on the market are mainly rice, noodles, and dishes, with relatively limited functions. There is a lack of products that combine high-end nourishing ingredients with functional natural plant extracts and offer a convenient self-heating option. Developing a nutritious, health-promoting, and convenient compound self-heating food by organically combining the nourishing properties of abalone with the antioxidant and heat-clearing effects of amla has broad market prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-heating canned abalone extract containing amla.

[0006] The present invention also aims to provide a method for preparing a self-heating canned abalone extract of Phyllanthus emblica.

[0007] The first objective of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solution: a self-heating canned abalone amla extract, comprising an outer can, an inner container and a self-heating component;

[0008] The inner container is sealed inside the outer tank, and the main meal ingredients are encapsulated therein;

[0009] The self-heating component is disposed in the interlayer space between the outer tank and the inner container, and is used to heat the inner container;

[0010] The main ingredients include abalone products, broth, and functional additives, the latter being amla extract.

[0011] Preferably, the amla extract is prepared by the following steps: the flesh of amla fruit is removed and crushed, and extracted 1 to 3 times with an ethanol solution of 50% to 75% by volume under ultrasonic power of 200 to 500 W and temperature of 40 to 60 °C. The filtrates are combined, the ethanol is recovered, and the extract is concentrated and dried to obtain the amla extract.

[0012] The amla extract in this invention is prepared by ultrasound-assisted alcohol extraction, which can efficiently extract polyphenolic antioxidant components.

[0013] Preferably, the amount of the functional additive added to the main dish is 0.1% to 5.0%, w / w; ensuring efficacy without affecting the original flavor of the main dish.

[0014] This invention adds amla extract to self-heating abalone cans. Amla extract not only has antioxidant functions but also antibacterial and preservative functions. By using natural antibacterial preservatives instead of chemical preservatives, the shelf life of self-heating abalone cans can be extended and the sweetness of the abalone cans can be increased.

[0015] Therefore, the self-heating canned abalone extract provided by this invention can improve the taste of self-heating canned abalone, extend its shelf life, and make it convenient to eat, thus enriching the high-end food market.

[0016] Preferably, the abalone product is abalone that has been pre-cooked, cut into pieces or slices; the broth is made from salt, sugar, seasoning sauce, thickener and water.

[0017] Preferably, the self-heating component includes a heating pack and a water pack. The heating pack contains one or more heating agents selected from quicklime, iron powder, aluminum powder, and magnesium powder. The water pack contains water for initiating the heating reaction.

[0018] Preferably, a needle is provided on the inner side of the top of the outer tank. The needle is used to puncture the water pack, so that the water comes into contact with the heating agent in the heating pack and an exothermic reaction occurs.

[0019] The abalone and amla extract self-heating canned food of this invention is not only convenient to eat and can heat up quickly, but also has additional health benefits such as enhancing immunity, anti-oxidation, and relieving physical fatigue by adding abalone and amla extract.

[0020] The second objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: the preparation method of the above-mentioned self-heating canned abalone extract includes the following steps:

[0021] (1) Preparation of Phyllanthus emblica extract: The pulp of Phyllanthus emblica fruit is removed and crushed. It is extracted 1 to 3 times with an ethanol solution of 50% to 75% under ultrasonic power of 200 to 500W and temperature of 40 to 60℃. The filtrates are combined, the ethanol is recovered, and the extract is concentrated and dried to obtain Phyllanthus emblica extract.

[0022] (2) Preparation of main course ingredients: Mix abalone processed products with broth, add amla extract obtained in step (1), stir thoroughly to obtain main course ingredients;

[0023] (3) Filling and sealing: The main meal material prepared in step (2) is quantitatively filled into the inner container and then vacuumed or sealed with nitrogen.

[0024] (4) Assembly and packaging: Place the sealed inner container into the outer can, put the self-heating components into the interlayer in sequence, and finally seal the outer can to obtain the self-heating canned food.

[0026] Preferably, in step (3), high temperature and high pressure sterilization is required after filling. The sterilization conditions are 115~121℃ and the time is 15~30 minutes.

[0027] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0028] (1) Combining convenience and function: This invention combines abalone, a traditional nourishing seafood delicacy, with amla, a food and medicine of the same origin. Its active ingredients are obtained through modern extraction technology and added to self-heating canned food. This allows the product to meet the demand for convenient hot food while having potential health benefits such as enhancing immunity, anti-fatigue, and anti-oxidation.

[0029] (2) Synergistic effect: Abalone is rich in protein peptides, and amla extract is rich in polyphenols. The combination of the two may produce a synergistic effect, enhancing the overall bioactivity and nutritional value of the product.

[0030] (3) Stable quality: By adding functional ingredients in the form of extracts, the problems of unstable texture and flavor caused by directly adding raw materials are avoided, and it is easier to disperse evenly, resulting in uniform product quality.

[0031] (4) Excellent eating experience: The self-heating design solves the need for hot food in special scenarios. The heating process is simple and quick. The contents of the can are rich in flavor and the soup is delicious. It is both nutritious and delicious.

[0032] (5) Improve taste and extend shelf life: By adding amla extract to self-heating abalone cans, this invention uses natural antibacterial preservatives instead of chemical preservatives, which can extend the shelf life of self-heating abalone cans and increase the sweetness of the abalone cans, thereby improving the taste and shelf life of self-heating abalone cans.
