Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dairy product technology, specifically to a barley dairy product and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Highland barley ( Barley var. heavenly Barley (Linnaeus) is a high-altitude crop belonging to the genus *Hordeum* of the Poaceae family. It is characterized by three highs and two lows: high protein, high fiber, high vitamins, and low fat and sugar. Barley is also rich in dietary fiber and has relatively high levels of trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. Furthermore, barley contains a unique nutrient—barley β-glucan—which has functions such as lowering blood sugar, enhancing gastrointestinal motility, and preventing altitude sickness. Therefore, the application of barley in food products, such as dairy products, is expected to be widely welcomed by consumers.

[0017] A method for preparing the aforementioned highland barley dairy product includes the following steps:

[0018] The barley grains were cooked, and then pre-processed flaxseed gum was added to the cooked barley grains to obtain a barley grain suspension.

[0034] Optionally, the sterilization is UHT sterilization, with sterilization parameters of 135-142℃ / 4-6s.

[0035] The technical solution of this invention has the following advantages:

[0036] 1. This invention provides a barley milk product, comprising the following raw materials: barley milk base and flaxseed gum; the barley milk base includes raw milk and barley granules; during the research and development process, it was discovered that: because the barley epidermis is mainly composed of cellulose and hemicellulose, with a content of up to 13.4%, its hardness far exceeds that of oats, wheat, quinoa, and other varieties. Therefore, higher heat intensity and longer processing time are required in the barley processing process to ensure that the surface and center of the barley achieve commercial sterility simultaneously, in order to avoid the impact of microorganisms, spores, etc. on product quality. However, barley contains 74%-78% amylopectin, and higher heat treatment intensity and longer processing time easily lead to the precipitation of amylopectin during barley processing. Since amylopectin and cereal protein are the core elements of cereal hardness, the precipitation of amylopectin will lead to changes in cereal structure. The precipitation of amylopectin, along with the adsorption of amylopectin onto the surface of the granules, increases their stickiness, leading to a continuous weakening of the chewiness of the barley granules and the granules sticking together at the bottom of the packaging during the shelf life of the prepared barley dairy products. However, this invention discovers that due to the weak gelling properties of flaxseed gum, the resulting colloid can form an adhesive film on the surface of the barley granules. This film effectively prevents the precipitation of amylopectin during barley processing, avoiding the impact of amylopectin precipitation on the hardness of the barley granules and the resulting continuous weakening of the chewiness during the shelf life. It also prevents the precipitated starch from sticking together, ultimately causing the barley granules to stick together during the shelf life. Furthermore, this film effectively prevents the barley granules from absorbing excessive water and softening during the shelf life, thus preventing the continuous weakening of the chewiness.

[0037] Furthermore, flaxseed gum, as a novel green and natural functional food colloid, possesses properties such as stability, emulsification, and thickening. It is also a type of water-soluble dietary fiber, rich in nutrients such as fats, minerals, vitamins, and proteins, and has physiological functions including weight loss, regulation of intestinal flora, and lowering blood sugar and cholesterol. Therefore, as a food additive, flaxseed gum can not only act as a gelling and thickening agent but also serve as a functional ingredient to enhance the health attributes of products.

[0038] 2. The present invention provides a barley dairy product, wherein the stabilizer includes sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and carrageenan. During the research and development process, it was found that flaxseed gum can stabilize the barley dairy product system by compounding with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and carrageenan. Furthermore, when the ratio of the added amount of flaxseed gum, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and carrageenan is 1:1.5 to 2:0.3 to 1, the stability effect on the barley dairy product system is better, ensuring the stability of the product system and the suspension of barley particles, while effectively reducing the amount of food additives.

[0039] 3. The present invention provides a method for preparing barley dairy products, comprising the following steps: ripening barley granules, then adding pre-processed flaxseed gum to the ripened barley granules to obtain a barley granule suspension; then mixing the remaining raw materials in the barley milk base with the barley granule suspension and sterilizing; During the research and development process, the present invention discovered that directly adding flaxseed gum powder to the ripened barley granules results in only a gel film forming on the surface of some barley granules. During the shelf life of the barley dairy products, the chewiness of some barley granules continuously weakens, and some granules stick together at the bottom of the packaging. However, by pre-processing the flaxseed gum before adding it to the barley granules, the above problems can be avoided, and the final product can achieve better granule chewiness, stability, and a better effect of preventing bottom granule sticking. Furthermore, it was found that the timing of adding flaxseed gum affects the ripening process of barley grains. When flaxseed gum is added before the barley grains have ripened, a gel film forms on the surface before the grains have undergone effective ripening, which severely reduces the efficiency of the ripening process and results in some barley grains having a white core. Ultimately, through experimental research, it was found that when flaxseed gum is added after the barley grains have ripened, the final product does not have some barley grains with a white core.

[0060] This embodiment provides a method for preparing highland barley dairy products. The raw materials are weighed according to the formula in Table 1, and then prepared according to the following steps:

[0061] (1) Preparation 1: Heat the raw milk to 50°C, and put the cereal powder, sweetener, dietary fiber (excluding flaxseed gum), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and carrageenan into the high-speed shear machine.

[0065] (5) Filling: After the sterilized liquid is cooled, it is filled.

[0066] Example 3: Preparation method of highland barley dairy products

[0067] This embodiment provides a method for preparing highland barley dairy products. The raw materials are weighed according to the formula in Table 1, and then prepared according to the following steps:

[0068] (1) Chemical Preparation 1: Heat the raw milk to 55°C, and put the cereal powder, sweetener, dietary fiber (excluding flaxseed gum), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and carrageenan into the high-speed shear machine. Heat it to 85°C again, and shear and stir for 5 minutes. Keep the temperature at 85°C during the shear and stirring process.

[0072] (5) Filling: After the sterilized liquid is cooled, it is filled.

[0073] The preparation methods of the barley dairy products in Examples 4-5 are the same as those in Example 2.

[0074] The difference between the preparation method of barley dairy products in Comparative Example 1 and Example 2 is that: (2) Flaxseed gum was not added in the second step of material preparation, and the resulting liquid was water;

[0075] (3) In the barley grain processing step, after cooking, the water from (2) feed 2 is pumped into the grain cooking tank.

[0076] The difference between the preparation method of barley dairy products in Comparative Example 2 and Example 2 is that step (2) chemical processing is omitted; in step (3) barley grain processing, after cooking, flaxseed gum powder is directly added to the grain cooking tank.

[0077] The difference between the preparation method of barley dairy products in Comparative Example 3 and Example 2 is as follows: (3) Barley particle treatment: In a grain cooking tank, add an appropriate amount of water (the amount of water is 3.5 times the weight of the barley particles) and heat to 90°C. Add the barley particles and the flaxseed gel liquid in (2) Chemical Material II, and cook for 35 minutes (maintain the temperature during the cooking process). After the cooking is completed, continue stirring for 15 minutes. During the stirring process, maintain the temperature range of the liquid at 75°C, observe the suspension state of the particles, stop heating, and obtain a barley particle suspension for later use.

[0078] Experimental Example

[0079] 1. Comparative analysis of flaxseed gum dispersion, barley grain suspension, and white core formation in grain cooking tanks.

[0080] In the above-described embodiments and comparative examples of the preparation methods for barley dairy products, the dispersion of flaxseed gum and the suspension of barley particles were tested. The dispersion of flaxseed gum could be observed by examining a steel basin to see if any particles were adhering to the wall. The suspension of barley particles was observed visually. The method for detecting white cores was to randomly take 30 barley particles from the obtained barley particle suspension, cut them in the middle, and observe and count them.

[0081] turn out:

[0082] In Examples 1-5, the flaxseed gum after being processed was added to the grain cooking tank. The flaxseed gum was evenly dispersed in the cooking tank, and no clumping of barley grains occurred. It had a good suspension effect on the barley grains. After stirring for 5-15 minutes, a gel film was formed on the surface of the barley; there was no white core.

[0083] Comparative Example 1, without the addition of flaxseed gum, failed to effectively suspend the barley; no white core was found.

[0084] In Comparative Example 2, flaxseed gum powder was directly added to the grain cooking tank. The powder agglomerated significantly, with a large amount of powder adhering to the walls of the cooking tank. This failed to effectively suspend the barley grains. After stirring, only some barley grains formed a gel film on their surface; no white core was observed.

[0085] In Comparative Example 3, pre-processed flaxseed gel was added to the grain cooking tank before the barley grains were cooked. Before the barley grains were effectively cooked, a gel film formed on their surface, severely affecting the heat transfer efficiency during cooking. After cooking, 25 barley grains still had a white core. In contrast, the flaxseed gel was evenly dispersed in the cooking tank, effectively suspending the barley grains.

[0086] 2. Particle size, stability test, and sterility test

[0087] The particle size and stability of the products in the examples and comparative examples were tested separately (the barley particles were tested after being filtered out of the product). Particle size was determined using a Beckman LS 13320 laser diffraction particle size analyzer, and stability was determined using a LUM stability analyzer. The sterility of the products was tested according to GB 4798.26, the national food safety standard for microbiological examination of food, specifically the method for testing commercial sterility. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0088] Table 2. Results of particle size, stability, and commercial sterility tests

[0089]

[0090] As can be seen from Table 1 above:

[0091] Examples 1-4 show good particle size and stability clarification index, with Example 2 having the highest overall evaluation of particle size and product stability.

[0092] Compared with Example 2, Example 5, with a ratio of 1:0.4:0.8 for flaxseed gum, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and carrageenan, showed no significant difference in particle size, but the product stability was poor, with fat floating on the surface.

[0093] Compared with Example 2, Comparative Example 1 only added sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and carrageenan, but did not add flaxseed gum. The particle size of the product was significantly increased, and the product stability was poor, with fat floating on top.

[0094] Compared with Example 2, Comparative Example 2 did not pre-process the flaxseed gum and directly added it to the cooking tank, which failed to achieve good results. The particle size of the product increased significantly, and the product stability was poor.

[0095] Compared with Example 2, in Comparative Example 3, the flaxseed gelling liquid was added to the cooking tank before the barley was cooked, and there was no significant difference in the particle size and stability of the product.

[0096] 3. Sensory evaluation results of highland barley grains

[0097] The particle state of the products prepared in the examples and comparative examples was evaluated by combining the results of particle texture and physical property testing instruments with sensory and consumer testing. The barley dairy products prepared in the examples and comparative examples were evaluated after being placed at 25°C for 30 days.

[0098] Sensory evaluation: The integrity of the granules and the adhesion between them were observed by cutting the package.

[0099] Consumer taste test: The product is comprehensively scored based on three indicators: chewiness, integration, and palatability. Each of these three indicators has a maximum score of 10 points. 25 people are selected to taste the product and score each of the three indicators. The average score of all scores is then taken for each indicator.

[0100] The results are shown in Table 3-5 below.

[0101] Table 3 Sensory test results

[0102]

[0103] Table 4. Results of Consumer Taste Test

[0104]

[0105] Particle texture and physical property tester (Universal TA domestic texture analyzer): Tests the hardness (force required for deformation of an object), elasticity (height or volume ratio of a deformed sample to its pre-deformation state after the deformation force is removed), and resilience (speed at which an item recovers its deformation) of barley particles (barley particles are obtained by filtering from the product and then tested).

Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
