Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fish cake food, in particular to a processing technology of fish cake. Background Art
[0002] Fish cake is a food popular in the Yangtze River Basin and other places. It is named because it is made of fish meat as the main ingredient and looks like rice cake. The main ingredient of fish cake is fish meat, and the ingredients are pork, starch, eggs, and the seasonings are monosodium glutamate, salt, etc. When making it, the fish meat is deboned and chopped into a puree, the fascia is removed, and it is fully mixed with other ingredients. During the process, liquids such as scallion and ginger water need to be added several times to allow the fish paste to fully absorb water and stir until the fish paste is thick and strong. Then put the fish paste into a steamer or other container for steaming. During the steaming process, pay attention to controlling the heat and time to ensure that the fish cake is cooked thoroughly and the surface is smooth. Fish cake is rich in high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and other minerals, and has rich nutritional value. The fish cake is white in color and the upper surface is egg yolk yellow.
[0003] Traditional fish cakes can be directly cut into thin slices and eaten after being steamed, or they can be fried or made into fish cake soup and eaten. They are generally ready-to-eat and need to be eaten as soon as possible after production. They have the disadvantage of a short shelf life, which is not conducive to the market promotion of fish cake products. In the large-scale production process of fish cakes, modern food sterilization technology is generally used to sterilize fish cakes to extend the shelf life of fish cakes, and the packaging form is mainly canned packaging. In production practice, fish cakes are prone to powder loss during the storage process after canning and sterilization, that is, the fish cakes become loose from tightly structured blocks, which reduces the organizational morphology indicators of the finished product and affects the sensory and quality of the finished product. Summary of the invention
[0004] The invention aims to provide a processing technology for fish cake, which has the effects that the finished fish cake does not lose powder during storage and the cake body is in block shape.
[0005] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: a processing technology of fish cakes, comprising the following steps:
[0006] S1, slicing, take the ridged fish meat, remove the skin and slice;
[0007] S2, rinse and remove oil, rinse the fish fillets until the water is clear and oil-free;
[0008] S3, made into surimi;
[0009] S4, mixing, adding konjac flour when preparing the scallion and ginger water, and mixing it with fish paste, pork loin fat, egg white, mixed starch, salt and monosodium glutamate after it is fully dissolved, wherein the mixed starch raw material includes 40-60 parts of corn starch, 20-40 parts of sweet potato flour and 10-30 parts of cassava flour by weight;
[0010] S5, stirring, stirring the prepared ingredients at high speed and stirring with ice cubes to cool down and stir out the fish glue;
[0011] S6, steaming, putting the ingredients obtained in S5 into a steaming cabinet for steaming;
[0012] S7, primary sterilization and canning, sterilizing the original soup once, putting the sterilized original soup and steamed fish cake into a tinplate canning container, and sealing it;
[0013] S8, secondary sterilization, secondary sterilization of the sealed tinplate canned container;
[0014] S9, cooling, the fish cake cans after secondary sterilization are cooled to obtain a finished product.
[0015] By adopting the above technical scheme, the starch of the fish cake raw material in the prior art is generally corn starch, and the processed fish cake will lose powder during the packaging process of fish cake cans. Based on this, the present invention improves the starch and selects mixed starch. The mixed starch uses corn starch, sweet potato flour, cassava flour and other raw materials and a specific ratio, and then adds konjac flour. The prepared fish cake will not lose powder during the storage process after packaging, ensuring that the tissue and morphology indicators in the sensory indicators meet the requirements, thereby ensuring the quality of the fish cake finished product.
[0016] In step S5, high-speed stirring will make the fish meat more chewy, while slow stirring will make it less chewy. However, high-speed stirring will generate heat that affects the quality of the fish cake, so ice cubes need to be added during the stirring process to quickly cool it down.
[0017] The present invention is further configured as follows: in step S4, the amount of konjac flour added is controlled to be 5-9% of the total dry matter of the fish cake food raw materials.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, in practice, the amount of konjac flour added needs to be controlled within the above range.
[0019] The present invention is further configured as follows: in step S4, the amount of konjac flour added is controlled to be 6.8% of the total dry matter of the fish cake ingredient raw materials.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, through practical research, it is found that the optimal amount of konjac flour added is 6.8%.
[0021] The present invention is further configured as follows: in step S4, the mass ratios of the fish paste, pork, mixed starch, and onion and ginger water are 10:2:1.2:0.9 respectively.
[0022] The present invention is further configured as follows: in step S7, the original soup is sterilized once, and the sterilization conditions are 121° C., 0.18 bar, and 20 min; in step S8, the secondary sterilization conditions are 121° C., 0.18 bar, and 12 min.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the color of the qualified fish cake finished product is white, and the upper surface is egg yellow and shiny. However, when the steamed fish cake is made into canned fish cake, it needs to go through a sterilization process, and the fish cake is sterilized at high temperature and high pressure. The sterilization conditions are generally 121°C, 0.18 bar, and more than 40 minutes. The color of the fish cake after sterilization is yellowish, resulting in the fish cake in the fish cake can being significantly worse than the fish cake ready to eat after steaming.
[0024] Based on the above problems, the present invention improves the sterilization process. First, the original soup is boiled, and the boiled original soup is sterilized to eliminate microorganisms such as Escherichia coli in the original soup. Then the sterilized original soup and the steamed fish cake are canned and sealed for secondary sterilization. At the same time, the heating rate during the heating process is controlled. Through the improvement and optimization of the sterilization process, the fish cake body after sterilization is white and does not show a yellowish color, so that the fish cake in the finished fish cake meets the sensory index requirements.
[0025] The present invention is further configured as follows: in step S8, during the temperature rise process during the secondary sterilization, the time from 80°C to 121°C is not less than 25 minutes.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, during the secondary sterilization process, the tinplate can container is first heated to 121°C after being sealed, and the time from 80°C to 121°C is not less than 25 minutes. After the temperature is raised to 121°C, the temperature is maintained for 12 minutes for secondary sterilization.
[0027] The present invention is further configured as follows: the method for preparing the original soup in step S7 is as follows: take 2000-3000g of pork bones, 1000-2000g of native chicken, 3800-4300g of chicken oil, 2-4 pig hind trotters, 1500-2200g of pig trotters, 900-1200g of chicken feet, 400-800g of chicken juice, and 20-35g of salt, put them into 50000g of water, boil over high heat, remove the floating foam, and simmer over low heat for 8 hours to obtain the original soup.
[0028] By adopting the above technical scheme, the boiled original soup is sterilized once and then used to prepare canned fish cake together with fish cake. This can not only reduce the risk of yellowing of the fish cake during the sterilization process, but also is conducive to the preservation of the block shape of the fish cake during the storage of the finished product.
[0029] The present invention is further configured as follows: in step S6, steaming for 35 minutes, coating the surface with egg white and egg yolk, and steaming for another 5 minutes.
[0030] The present invention is further configured as follows: in step S1, fresh freshwater grass carp is selected, the scales, head, tail, fins and internal organs are removed, the spine fish meat is taken, the skin is removed and sliced.
[0031] The present invention is further configured as follows: in step S3, the fish meat is crushed into a meat paste to prepare grass carp minced fish.
[0032] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0033] 1. The present invention effectively overcomes the defect of powder loss during storage after sterilization, filling and storage of fish cakes by boiling stock, optimizing and improving the types and proportions of mixed starch raw materials, and adding konjac powder, which is beneficial to the maintenance of the organizational morphology of fish cake products such as canned fish cakes during long-term storage, so that the fish cake products maintain a compact block structure.
[0034] 2. The present invention solves the problem of yellowing of the fish cake during the sterilization process by improving the sterilization process into one-time sterilization and two-time sterilization. After the two-time sterilization, the fish cake is white, which is similar in color to the instant fish cake steamed in the prior art, and the cake will not be yellowish.
[0035] 3. The present invention improves starch, sterilization process, original soup, etc., effectively solving the problem of powder loss during storage of fish cake products and yellowing of fish cakes after sterilization, ensuring that the sensory indicators of fish cake products meet the requirements and the stability of the quality of fish cake products, which is of great significance to the development of the fish cake food industry.
