[0014] As a preferred embodiment of a method for preparing bread based on the Maillard reaction in the present invention, a support plate is fixedly connected to the fluidized shell below the first gate valve, at least one heat dissipation hole is opened on the support plate, the lower part of the discharge pipe is connected to the support plate, and a material receiving bin opening is opened on the fluidized shell below the support plate.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the method for preparing bread based on the Maillard reaction in the present invention, the specific steps of evenly applying the freeze-dried powder on the surface of the bread are: Firstly, treat the temperature of the bread on the surface to be cooked, and control its temperature at about 80°, and then put the bread into the hanging basket; Place the hanging basket into the step inside the brim of the fluidized shell, cover it with the cover plate, and lock the cover plate on the fluidized shell; The first gate valve is controlled to be closed, and the second gate valve is controlled to be opened, and an appropriate amount of Maillard freeze-dried powder is poured from the funnel above the feed pipe, and after passing through the second gate valve, it slides along the feed pipe to the top of the orifice plate, and the second gate valve is closed, and the solenoid valve is opened to control the air pressure of the high-pressure air, so that the external high-pressure air is blown into the conical silo through the high-pressure air pipe, and blown to the hanging basket through a number of fluidizing holes on the orifice plate. The high-pressure air makes the bread in the hanging basket in a fluidized state, and the high-pressure air carries the Maillard freeze-dried powder. Since the freeze-dried powder contains glue powder elements, the high temperature on the surface of the bread softens the glue powder, and the softened glue powder elements have an adhesion effect, so that a layer of Maillard freeze-dried powder is evenly adhered to the surface of the bread; High-pressure air is ejected from the filter to the outside of the kettle, and Maillard freeze-dried powder is filtered through the filter. If the filter is blocked, the air pressure value detected by the barometer exceeds the set air pressure threshold, and the solenoid valve is controlled to close, and the fluidization operation is stopped to prevent accidents. If the air pressure exceeds the set value of the safety valve, the safety valve is forced to release the pressure. The operation is completed, the cover is unscrewed, the filter is taken out, and the filter is cleaned for next use; After reaching the set operation time, close the solenoid valve to stop the fluidization operation, loosen the cover plate and remove it, take out the hanging basket, and obtain the bread with Maillard freeze-dried powder smeared on the surface; Place the receiving container under the discharge pipe through the receiving bin port, control the first gate valve to open, and the remaining Maillard freeze-dried powder falls into the receiving container for next use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0027] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0028] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0029] Example 1 This is the first embodiment. This embodiment provides a bread preparation method based on the Maillard reaction, which coats the surface of the bread based on the Maillard reaction to improve the shelf life of the bread at room temperature and the convenience of carrying.
[0030] A method for preparing bread based on the Maillard reaction comprises the following steps: S1 prepares Maillard base liquid and adjusts flavor; S2: the prepared base liquid is made into freeze-dried powder by a vortex tube freeze dryer 100; S3: The freeze-dried powder is evenly spread on the surface of the bread through the fluidized bed surface coating device 200; S4 sends the bread coated with freeze-dried powder into the oven to make bread based on the Maillard reaction.
[0031] In S1, the method for preparing the Maillard base liquid is to add a powder made of protein, sugar and gum powder into clean water, and the concentration is adjusted to 8%-10%, the ratio of protein powder to sugar powder is 2:1-1:1, the ratio of protein and sugar powder to gum powder is 5:1, the protein is one of animal protein or plant protein, the sugar is one of monosaccharide, polysaccharide or oligoxylose, and the gum powder is one of peach gum or propolis.
[0032] When adjusting the flavor, add an appropriate amount of flavoring substances to the prepared Maillard base liquid. For example, if apple juice is added, the bread will produce an apple-flavored aroma. If pineapple juice is added, the bread will produce a pineapple-flavored aroma. Other flavoring substances are not described one by one here, but are also within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
[0033] In step S4, before putting the bread into the oven, a thin layer of steam mist is sprayed on the surface of the bread with a spray gun to make the surface of the bread slightly moist, and then the bread is put into the oven, the oven temperature is set to between 140° and 170°, and the baking time is set to between 2 minutes and 5 minutes, depending on the taste. During baking, the protein and sugar in the freeze-dried powder on the surface of the bread undergo a Maillard reaction to form a thin film on the surface of the bread. The film has a stable structure, water-locking and air-permeability, can prevent the loss of water inside the bread and prevent the invasion of external bacteria, and has a certain air permeability, which can greatly increase the shelf life of the bread at room temperature. The film is edible and has a certain flavor and taste, and the bread tastes better.
[0034] The baked bread is coated based on the Maillard reaction to make bread based on the Maillard reaction. The moisture inside the bread is not easy to lose, and the external bacteria are not easy to invade. At the same time, it has a certain air permeability and improves the taste of the bread. It can greatly increase the shelf life of the bread at room temperature and the convenience of carrying.
[0035] The Maillard reaction is a reaction between amino compounds and hydroxyl compounds, that is, a reaction between proteins and sugars. It is a non-moldy browning reaction and is often used in the food industry. The temperature is controlled between 140° and 170°. After a certain period of time, a series of complex reactions occur, and finally brown or even black macromolecules are generated. These substances provide good color and smell for food. At the same time, the macromolecules generated by the Maillard reaction have good cohesion and stability. Due to the particularity of its structure, the present application uses it as a film with certain water-locking and air permeability. If the film generated by the Maillard reaction is applied to the surface of bread, it can prevent the loss of water inside the bread and the invasion of external bacteria. At the same time, it has certain air permeability, which plays a positive role in the preservation of bread, can greatly increase the shelf life of bread at room temperature and is convenient to carry. On this basis, certain natural flavor substances are added to the base material of the Maillard reaction, so that the Maillard reaction substances wrapped on the surface of the bread have a certain flavor and taste, making the bread more delicious.
[0036] Example 2 Reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 This embodiment is based on Example 1, and is different from Example 1 in that this embodiment provides a bread preparation method based on the Maillard reaction, which can further realize the preparation of freeze-dried powder, and is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0039] In step S2, the steps of using the vortex tube freeze dryer 100 to make freeze-dried powder are specifically as follows: The external high-pressure air is introduced into the vortex chamber of the vortex tube 103 through the high-pressure air inlet pipe 109, and the first three-way valve 106 is controlled to be opened, so that the cold air passes through the cold air outlet pipe 105 and the cold air utilization pipe 107 and then enters the air inlet main pipe 112 in sequence, and is discharged into the air outlet main pipe 108 after being cooled by the heat exchanger 113; The second three-way valve 121 is controlled to open, so that the hot air enters the air outlet pipe 108 through the hot air outlet pipe 101 and the hot air exhaust pipe 120, and the exhaust gas in the air outlet pipe 108 is silenced by the muffler 104 and then discharged through the exhaust main pipe 124; The vortex tube 103 continues to work to continuously cool the freeze-drying chamber 111b.
