[0018] Embodiment 1:

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a processing technology for pufferfish food, comprising the following steps:

[0020] S1: Live selection: select live pufferfish of the predetermined species and in the predetermined breeding environment, and inspect the selected pufferfish to exclude diseased, injured or abnormal individuals, ensure that the source of the pufferfish is traceable and of good quality, and record the selection process in detail; when selecting, it is forbidden to select dead pufferfish, because after the pufferfish dies, its toxins will spread to the inside of the pufferfish muscle, and poisoning will occur after eating;

[0021] S2: Slaughtering: Use sharp slaughtering tools to accurately cut off the blood vessels and nerves of the pufferfish, and release the blood in the pufferfish's body. Control the bleeding time to 5-10 minutes, check whether the blood of the pufferfish is drained, and remove the blood from the meat, thereby affecting the taste and food health;

[0022] S3: Detoxification, using a three-step detoxification method to remove toxins from the liver, ovaries, skin, blood, eyes, stomach, intestines and parts containing toxins. The ovaries and liver contain extremely high concentrations of toxins and must be completely removed. When using, professional protective gear must be worn; and the blood and dirt generated during the detoxification process are washed several times with running water, and parasites attached to the inside of the pectoral fins are checked and removed;

[0023] S4: cutting treatment, cutting and peeling the pufferfish after the detoxification treatment, washing with running water for 10-30 minutes, and repeatedly scrubbing the mucus on the surface of the pufferfish skin; washing the pufferfish again after 20-50 minutes; soaking the separated pufferfish pieces in a solution containing papain, and then washing with running water for tenderization; soaking the separated pufferfish skin in a mixture of lemon juice and cooking wine, and then washing with running water for deodorization;

[0024] S5: Detoxification again, further removing toxins by pickling, and removing excess salt by rinsing, and then soaking the rinsed pufferfish pieces in ice water for 2-5 minutes; before S6 processing, put the pickled pufferfish pieces in ice water to remove blood and enhance the taste;

[0025] S6: Processing operation, according to the need, put the pufferfish block into the processing equipment to make the required pufferfish food; the processing equipment is an existing food processing equipment, when used, it can be selected according to the needs of the user, and no further details are given here;

[0026] S7: Packaging and storage: put the processed puffer fish food into a vacuum packaging bag, use a vacuum packaging machine to evacuate and seal it, and then store the packaged puffer fish food in a cold storage to extend the shelf life.

[0027] Furthermore, the three-step detoxification method in S3 is:

[0028] S3.1, soaking the pufferfish in a preset chemical reagent for 40-75 minutes to preliminarily decompose the toxin inside the pufferfish; the chemical reagent comprises: citric acid or sodium acetate;

[0029] S3.2, treating the pufferfish soaked in the chemical reagent by a physical method to destroy the molecular structure of the toxin;

[0030] S3.3, evenly apply a proper amount of bio-enzyme preparation on the surface of the pufferfish treated by the physical method, and let it stand for 1-2.5 hours in an environment of 20-40°C to fully expel the toxins inside the pufferfish.

[0031] The physical method includes: low temperature treatment and ultrasonic vibration treatment;

[0032] Low temperature treatment: Put the pufferfish in an environment of -25--50℃, freeze it for 3-4 hours, and then thaw it at room temperature. This treatment method changes the molecular structure of pufferfish toxin, making it less toxic, and ensures that the pufferfish is completely surrounded by a low temperature environment.

[0033] Ultrasonic oscillation treatment, placing the thawed pufferfish into an ultrasonic cleaner for oscillation treatment; starting the ultrasonic cleaner and setting its frequency at 30-50 Hz and the oscillation time at 5-30 minutes. This step helps to maintain the taste and quality of the pufferfish, improves the edible safety of pufferfish food, and the operation process is relatively simple and easy to control, which is conducive to wide promotion in large-scale pufferfish processing.

[0034] Furthermore, in S4:
