Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tiger nut deep processing technology, and in particular to a low-temperature segmented roasting type of multi-flavor tiger nut whole grain and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Tiger nuts are a key specialty oilseed and grain crop promoted in my country, and whole-nut baked products represent a core direction for their high-value-added snack food development. Currently, the industrial production of whole-nut baked products uses conventional baking processes. One of the main technical shortcomings of this approach is the inability to achieve coordinated control over the overall quality of whole-nut tiger nut products in large-scale processing. This results in products failing to meet the comprehensive quality requirements of snack foods regarding structure, taste, nutrient retention, and shelf-life stability.
[0003] Due to the limitations of this core process, the existing technology can cause a chain reaction of quality decline during processing. It cannot guarantee the integrity of the whole tiger nuts, nor can it avoid the loss of heat-sensitive nutrients. At the same time, it cannot achieve a stable and controllable crispy texture. It is also prone to flavor loss and oil oxidation and rancidity during the product's shelf life. Ultimately, the market acceptance and shelf life of the product cannot meet the requirements for industrialization and promotion, which seriously restricts the extension of the tiger nut deep processing industry chain and its high-value utilization. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide a low-temperature segmented roasting type of multi-flavor tiger nuts whole grains and its preparation method, so as to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows: a low-temperature segmented roasting type of multi-flavor tiger pea whole grain and its preparation method, comprising the following steps: S1. Raw material pretreatment: Take whole tiger nuts, wash, remove impurities and peel them to obtain peeled tiger nuts; S2. Low-temperature dehydration: The peeled tiger nuts are placed in a first temperature range for dehydration treatment, so that their moisture content is reduced to a first predetermined range; S3. Vacuum flavor impregnation: Dehydrated tiger nuts are placed in a vacuum environment and impregnated in a flavor liquid to allow the flavor liquid to penetrate into the tiger nuts, thus obtaining flavored tiger nuts; S4. Low-temperature segmented baking: The flavored tiger nuts are baked in a first stage within a first baking temperature range and in a second stage within a second baking temperature range, wherein the lower limit of the second baking temperature range is higher than the upper limit of the first baking temperature range. S5. Edible film coating: The segmented roasted tiger nuts are coated with edible film liquid to form a flavor film layer on their surface; S6. Cooling and Packaging: Cool the wrapped tiger nuts to below room temperature and then package them to obtain the multi-flavored whole tiger nut product.
[0006] As an improvement, in step S1, the peeling process controls the residual skin rate of the beans after peeling to not exceed 5%.
[0007] As an improvement, in step S2, the first temperature range is 55℃-65℃, the dehydration time is 2-3 hours, and the first predetermined range is 8%-12%.
[0008] As an improvement, in step S3, the vacuum level of the vacuum environment is 0.07-0.09 MPa, and the immersion time is 20-40 min.
[0009] As an improvement, in step S3, the flavor liquid is selected from any one or more combinations of osmanthus flavor liquid, caramel flavor liquid, and matcha flavor liquid.
[0010] As an improvement, in step S4, the first baking temperature range is 110℃-130℃, and the baking time is 5-8 minutes; the second baking temperature range is 150℃-170℃, and the baking time is 8-12 minutes.
[0011] As an improvement, in step S5, the edible film liquid is composed of konjac gum, sodium alginate and whey protein in a mass ratio of 1:1:2 to 1:2:4, and the solid content of the edible film liquid is 1.5%-3.0%.
[0012] As an improvement, in step S5, the edible film liquid is further formulated with the same flavor components as the flavor liquid used in step S3, and the amount of the flavor components added is 0.5%-1.5% of the total mass of the film liquid.
[0013] As an improvement, in the multi-flavor whole tiger nut product obtained in step S6, the whole tiger nut integrity rate is not less than 90%, the crispness is increased by 20%-30% compared with the unprocessed product, the protein retention rate is not less than 90%, and the flavor retention rate is not less than 95%.
[0014] The present invention also provides a multi-flavor whole tiger nut product, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: Addressing the core technical deficiency of existing whole-grain tiger nut baking processes in achieving comprehensive quality control, this invention optimizes the entire process to synergistically improve the structural morphology, taste, nutrient retention, flavor stability, and shelf-life safety of whole-grain tiger nut products. This invention significantly reduces the breakage rate of whole-grain tiger nut products during processing, ensuring product structural integrity; it maintains a consistently crisp and palatable taste while significantly reducing the denaturation and loss of heat-sensitive nutrients, thus improving the retention rate of core nutrients; it also effectively reduces the volatile degradation of flavor substances during processing, while inhibiting oil oxidation and rancidity and flavor loss during shelf life, significantly extending the product's shelf life and greatly enhancing the market acceptance and industrialization value of whole-grain tiger nut products.

[0059] The present invention also provides a multi-flavor whole tiger nut product, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method.
[0060] Comparative Example 1 (Traditional high-temperature constant-temperature baking, no flavor coating): The segmented baking in step S4 and the flavoring in step S5 are omitted. The flavored tiger nuts obtained in S3 are directly baked at a constant temperature of 180℃ for 15 minutes, and the remaining steps are the same as in Example 2.
[0061] Comparative Example 2 (Single-temperature constant-temperature baking): Omit the segmented baking in step S4, and directly bake the flavored tiger nuts obtained in S3 at a constant temperature of 160℃ for 16 minutes (the total baking time is the same as 6min + 10min in Example 2). The remaining steps are the same as in Example 2.
[0062] Comparative Example 3 (Ambient Pressure Flavor Impregnation, No Vacuum): The vacuum environment (0.08MPa, 30min) in step S3 was changed to room temperature and pressure (0.1MPa) immersion, and the immersion time remained at 30min. The remaining steps were the same as in Example 2.
[0063] Comparative Example 4 (without coating treatment): The edible film coating step S5 is omitted. After the low-temperature segmented baking in S4, the product is directly cooled and packaged in S6. The remaining steps are the same as in Example 2.

[0065] Comparative Example 6 (High Epidermal Residue): The peeling requirement in step S1 is changed from "epidermal residue rate ≤ 5%" to "epidermal residue rate 15%", and the remaining steps are the same as in Example 2.
[0066] Test example: 1. Experimental objective: 1.1 Verify the overall effect of the present invention compared with existing conventional processes in terms of product integrity, crispness, nutrient retention, flavor stability, and oxidative safety; 1.2 Verify the contribution of each core process step to product quality, and prove the completeness and necessity of the technical solution; 1.3 Verify the rationality of the parameter range and the stability of the process of the present invention.
[0067] 2. Experimental materials and instruments: 2.1 Experimental materials: Whole tiger nuts from the same batch (originating from Yunnan, uniform particle size and free from mold); food-grade osmanthus flavor liquid (solid content 10%); konjac gum, sodium alginate, whey protein (food grade); linalool standard (purity ≥98%); all other reagents were analytical grade.
[0068] 2.2 Experimental instruments: electric thermostatic drying oven, vacuum impregnation tank, intelligent hot air baking oven, TA-XT2i texture analyzer, CR-400 colorimeter, Kjeldahl nitrogen analyzer, Agilent 7890A gas chromatograph (equipped with FID detector and HP-5MS column), water activity analyzer, electronic analytical balance (accuracy 0.0001g).
[0069] 3. Test methods: Sample preparation: Samples were prepared according to the schemes of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-6 of this invention, with 3 parallel samples prepared for each group. All samples were packaged and stored under completely identical conditions (sealed at 25°C in the dark). Core indicators were tested within 24 hours after preparation, and the flavor retention rate was additionally tested after 30 days of sealed storage at room temperature.
[0070] Detection method: Formulas for calculating crispness enhancement rate, protein retention rate, and flavor retention rate: Crispness improvement rate (%) = (Peak force of raw beans - Peak force of sample) / Peak force of raw beans × 100%; Protein retention rate (%) = Sample protein content / Raw bean protein content × 100%; Flavor retention rate (%) = Detected content / Theoretical addition amount (or initial content) × 100%; 3.4 Experimental Data Results: Table 1 Baseline data for raw tiger nuts (untreated) Table 2 Summary of core quality indicators for each group of samples Note: The crispness improvement rate is calculated based on a peak strength of 2850g for raw beans.
[0071] The initial flavor retention rate was based on the theoretical addition of 10 μg linalool / g tiger nuts as a 100% baseline.
[0072] The initial flavor retention rates of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 3-6 were calculated based on the theoretical adsorption amount under their respective impregnation processes to ensure comparability; Comparative Example 1 had a significantly lower retention rate due to the volatilization of a large amount of flavor caused by high-temperature baking.
[0073] Table 3 Parameter Deviation Group Validation 3.5 Experimental Conclusions: 3.5.1 The overall solution of this invention has a significantly improved quality compared to existing conventional processes. Compared with Comparative Example 1 (the industry's traditional high-temperature one-time baking process), Example 2 of the present invention: The integrity rate increased by 22.4% (94.7% vs 72.3%), solving the industry pain point of easy cracking and breakage of traditional tiger nuts during baking; The crispness is increased by 28.1% (2050g vs 2850g raw beans), and the crisp texture is significantly better than that of traditional processing (comparative example 1 shows a crispness increase of only 30.4%, but at the cost of a significant decrease in the integrity rate). Protein retention increased by 16.8% (93.2% vs 76.4%), maximizing the preservation of core nutrients; The 30-day flavor retention rate increased by 35.5% (97.8% vs 62.3%), and the flavor stability was significantly improved. The peroxide value decreased by 71.4% (0.06 vs 0.21 g / 100 g), significantly reducing the degree of oil oxidation and greatly extending the shelf life; The sensory score improved by 35.0 points (96.5 vs 61.5), and consumer acceptance was much higher than that of traditional processes.
[0074] 3.5.2 Each core process step plays an indispensable role in improving quality. 3.5.3 The rationality of the parameter range has been verified: Examples 1-3 (using lower limit, median, and upper limit parameters respectively) all indicators achieved the expected results: integrity rate ≥91.2%, crispness improvement rate 23.3%-31.6%, protein retention rate ≥90.5%, 30-day flavor retention rate ≥95.2%, and peroxide value ≤0.08g / 100g.
[0075] The deviation group AD shows that any deviation in any single parameter (insufficient / excessive dehydration, excessively high temperature in the first stage, or excessively low temperature in the second stage) will lead to a significant deterioration of at least one core indicator, proving that the parameter range defined by the present invention is an optimized range.
[0076] 3.5.4 Comprehensive evaluation of color and sensory quality: The L value (52.1-55.8) of the embodiments of the present invention exhibits a uniform golden yellow to light brown color, and the sensory color score is significantly better than that of Comparative Example 1 (L=38.5, burnt black) and Comparative Example 2 (L*=48.2, uneven color).
[0077] Edible film coating (Example 2 vs Comparative Example 4) not only improved flavor retention but also gave the product surface a suitable oily sheen (similar L* values but higher sensory gloss score).
[0078] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these should all be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
