Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a method for removing fishy smell from spirulina without breaking its wall. Background Art

[0002] In terms of ecological protection and life health, microalgae have broad application prospects and are expected to become the "future food" of mankind. Spirulina, as a type of microalgae, is widely used in various foods and health foods. For example, common spirulina products on the market include capsules, tablets, beverages, nutritious rice and flour products, baked products, etc. However, the existing products have a strong fishy smell.

[0003] At present, most of the processing technologies for spirulina flavor are mainly focused on breaking the wall to remove the fishy smell, that is, releasing the fishy substances through the wall breaking technology and masking, embedding or reaction treatment. For example: in patent CN1943425B, the fishy smell is removed by using enzymatic hydrolysis-homogenization to break the wall and then inoculating yeast for fermentation; in patent CN106387615B, the fishy smell is removed by breaking the wall with colloid mill, enzymatic hydrolysis with cellulase and pectinase, and by reacting quercetin with the fishy substances; in patent 202210108704.5, the flavor substances in spirulina are reduced by mixing stevia leaves and potato mash with spirulina and ultrasound; in patent 99115106.2, the fishy smell is masked by mixing licorice, Panax notoginseng, honey and other substances with spirulina. The first three methods will crush the spirulina and cause the contents to dissolve. It is easy to oxidize during the processing, causing fatty acid rancidity and a decrease in the content of physiologically active ingredients. The deodorization technology is complex and the effect is average, making it difficult to use in actual production. The latter method is cumbersome and affects subsequent processing. In addition, deodorization through chemical reactions may produce unknown harmful substances. Summary of the invention
