Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of food processing, and in particular relates to a processing method for increasing the proofing specific volume of frozen dough by using a magnetic field. Background Art

[0002] The moisture content in the dough is as high as 50-60%, which is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, causing fresh dough to deteriorate quickly and have a short shelf life. Therefore, frozen dough technology is widely used in the modern food industry. Freezing technology can extend the shelf life of dough to 6 months or even longer.

[0003] The frozen dough technology emerged in the 1950s, which enabled the large-scale production of pasta staples. Large quantities of dough were quickly frozen using refrigeration technology, and then thawed, fermented, and baked according to demand to obtain a variety of freshly baked pasta. However, during the proofing process using traditional methods, frozen dough will experience ice crystal recrystallization with temperature fluctuations, which will cause quality problems such as surface microcracks, increased hardness, reduced volume, surface depressions, and darker color in the finished pasta. In addition, the current improved methods have limitations such as complex processes, safety risks of using food additives, and high costs.

[0004] Using magnetic field to wake up frozen dough is a new type of physical wake-up method that is low-cost, green, healthy and pollution-free. It can effectively increase the wake-up volume of frozen dough while ensuring the taste of the finished pasta to the greatest extent. Nevertheless, this technology still has challenges in parameter optimization. For example, the optimal configuration of parameters such as magnetic field type, intensity and processing time still needs in-depth research in order to further improve the product wake-up volume and ensure product quality. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and technical development defects related to the proofing of frozen dough, the present invention provides a processing method for increasing the proofing specific volume of frozen dough by using a magnetic field, and improves the proofing effect of frozen dough by the staged action of a static magnetic field and a rotating magnetic field.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A method for increasing the proofing specific volume of frozen dough by using a magnetic field, wherein the frozen dough is placed in a magnetic field for proofing in stages, wherein the magnetic field is a static magnetic field and a rotating magnetic field, wherein the static magnetic field strength is 3 to 51 mT, the rotating magnetic field strength is 2 to 34 mT, and the frequency is 5 to 30 Hz.

[0007] The staged proofing includes two stages, as follows: First proofing stage: placing the frozen dough in a static magnetic field to proof; Second proofing stage: the dough after the first proofing stage is placed in a rotating magnetic field for proofing; The ratio of the magnetic field strength of the static magnetic field to that of the rotating magnetic field is 3:2, and the ratio of the rising time of the first rising stage to that of the second rising stage is 5:3.

[0008] In particular, the static magnetic field is a continuous static magnetic field, and the rotating magnetic field is a continuous rotating magnetic field.

[0009] Furthermore, the environment temperature for proofing the frozen dough is 34-36° C., the relative humidity is 78-82%, and the time is 120-140 min.

[0010] The invention increases the proofing specific volume of frozen dough by means of a magnetic field, so as to be applied to improve the taste of finished pasta products made from the frozen dough.

[0011] The frozen dough described above includes but is not limited to wheat frozen dough, potato frozen dough, and rice frozen dough.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The present invention applies a static magnetic field to the frozen dough in the first proofing stage, and the first proofing stage is the stage of temperature rise of the frozen dough. Compared with the traditional proofing and the rotating magnetic field assisted proofing, the addition of the static magnetic field will inhibit the formation and recrystallization of large ice crystals, slow down the breakage of disulfide bonds inside the dough, the depolymerization of gluten macromolecular polymer GMP and the increase of α-helix content, maintain the integrity of gluten protein and its cross-linking degree with starch, inhibit the inactivation of yeast, and thus improve the gas holding capacity and gas production capacity of the frozen dough during proofing, and finally increase the proofing specific volume of the frozen dough; the intensity of the applied static magnetic field is 3-51 mT, and this intensity range can cause the redistribution of ice crystals in the frozen dough without destroying the protein molecular structure of the frozen dough, and retain the original flavor and nutritional components of the finished pasta made from the frozen dough; if the static magnetic field intensity is too high, it may cause the decomposition of macromolecular compounds in the frozen dough and the inactivation of yeast, thereby reducing the quality and safety of the frozen dough after proofing.

[0013] 2. The present invention applies a rotating magnetic field to the frozen dough in the second proofing stage. Compared with traditional proofing and static magnetic field assisted proofing, the application of a rotating magnetic field with an intensity of 2 to 34 mT can achieve a uniform effect on the frozen dough, effectively cause the redistribution, movement and spin polarization of the charges in the dough, regulate the degree of protein coagulation in the dough, promote the uniform distribution of water, yeast and gluten protein, make the dough have a uniform and delicate pore structure, and further increase the gas holding capacity of the frozen dough during proofing; if the intensity of the rotating magnetic field is too high, it will have a negative impact on the distribution of nutrients required by yeast in the frozen dough and the distribution of carbon dioxide generated by its decomposition, thereby reducing the proofing volume of the frozen dough; a rotating magnetic field frequency of 5 to 10 Hz can promote the uniform dispersion of water and nutrients required by yeast.

[0014] 3. The working parameters of the static magnetic field and the rotating magnetic field in the present invention have a positive impact on the treatment effect. The present invention induces a magnetic field of a certain strength in the frozen dough sample by precisely regulating the working parameters of the static magnetic field. By regulating the working parameters of the rotating magnetic field to adjust the range of action of the magnetic field, it is ensured that the frozen dough is uniformly affected by the magnetic field, so that the entire system is uniform and stable, thereby uniformly increasing the proofing specific volume of the frozen dough. The residence time of the frozen dough in the magnetic field provided by the present invention can achieve a higher proofing specific volume, while avoiding excessive exposure of the frozen dough to the magnetic field to cause flavor deterioration; the precise control of these parameters is intended to ensure efficient proofing while maintaining the flavor and taste of the finished pasta made from the frozen dough.

[0015] 4. The present invention controls the temperature of the frozen dough in the magnetic field to be 34-36°C, which can effectively improve the taste of the frozen dough, and ensure that the temperature does not cause too much negative impact on the sensory quality of the finished pasta made after the frozen dough is proofed. If the temperature is too high, it will cause protein denaturation, yeast inactivation and excessive alcohol content in the frozen dough, which will reduce the proofing specific volume of the frozen dough and have a negative impact on the flavor of the finished pasta made after the frozen dough is proofed.

[0016] In summary, in the process of frozen dough proofing, the static magnetic field reduces the damage of ice crystals to the dough matrix, the damage of the gluten protein network structure, and slows down the decline of the air holding capacity of the frozen dough, thereby increasing the proofing specific volume of the frozen dough; the rotating magnetic field technology applies a uniform magnetic field to make the frozen dough proof uniformly while increasing the air holding capacity of the frozen dough during proofing. The combined use of the static magnetic field and the rotating magnetic field increases the proofing specific volume of the frozen dough while improving the stability of the frozen dough system, making the taste softer and softer, and improving the quality of the product.
