[0002] In the field of food processing, onion, as a common vegetable, has rich nutritional value and unique flavor and is widely used in various dishes and food processing. However, onions are easily contaminated by microorganisms during processing, which affects their quality and safety. Traditional onion processing methods often have problems such as incomplete sterilization, low processing efficiency, and unstable product quality.

[0003] Especially in the process of quick-frozen diced onions, due to their small size and large surface area, they are more susceptible to microbial invasion. At the same time, the quick-freezing process also has high requirements for the texture and taste of the diced onions. How to maximize the nutritional content and taste of the diced onions while ensuring the sterilization effect is an important issue facing the current onion processing field.

[0004] In addition, most of the existing quick-freezing technologies use a single freezing method, such as directly freezing in a cold storage or using liquid nitrogen for rapid freezing. Although these methods can achieve a certain freezing effect, they are insufficient in the formation and distribution of ice crystals, which can easily lead to problems such as juice loss and softening of the onion cubes after thawing, affecting the quality of the product.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a method for preparing onion cubes that can effectively sterilize and maintain the texture and taste of onion cubes by soaking in quick-frozen brine and sterilizing them. Summary of the invention

[0015] Stabilization stage: The vacuum environment is maintained for 30 seconds to promote the sublimation of residual water;

[0016] Temperature return lock: slowly return to -18℃ to make the ice crystals more evenly distributed and reduce the loss rate of juice after thawing;

[0017] Step 6: Sorting and packaging. The quick-frozen diced onions are selected and inspected, and then packaged.

[0018] Preferably, when selecting onions, onions with a single diameter of more than 80 and a mass of 200-500 grams are selected.

[0041] Step 4: Disinfection with salt water: put the diced onion into a disinfectant prepared by mixing water and edible salt in a mass ratio of 100:2.1 to 4.1. The temperature of the disinfectant is 14-16 degrees and the sterilization time is 15 seconds.

[0042] Step 5: quick freezing, subjecting the diced onions to four-stage gradient freezing;

[0043] Precooling stage: Use cold air circulation to precool the diced onions to -5°C and keep it for 15 seconds to form small ice nuclei on the surface;

[0044] Quick freezing stage: Liquid nitrogen is used to drop the temperature to -30°C, reducing the ice crystal growth rate by 60%;

[0047] Step 6: Sorting and packaging. The quick-frozen diced onions are selected and inspected, and then packaged.

[0048] The sterilization method of soaking in salt water can effectively kill the microorganisms on the surface of the diced onions, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the product. The sodium chloride component in the salt water can destroy the cell wall structure of microorganisms, inhibit their growth and reproduction, and thus achieve a sterilization effect. The four-stage gradient freezing method can form fine ice crystals, reduce the damage to the cell structure of the diced onions, and maximize the nutritional content and taste of the diced onions.

These measures work together to reduce the juice loss rate of the diced onions after thawing, and the taste and texture are retained to the greatest extent.

[0049] Furthermore, when selecting onions, onions with a single diameter of more than 80 and a mass of 200-500 grams are selected.

[0050] Furthermore, in the onion raw material pretreatment step, after the onions are selected, they are passed through a vibrating screen to remove sand and part of the dry skin, and then enter a bubble cleaning machine to be cleaned.

[0054] Furthermore, the blanching step uses hot water at 92-95 degrees and the blanching time is controlled within 15 seconds.

[0055] Furthermore, the packaged frozen diced onions are placed in a cold storage at -18-20 degrees Celsius for refrigerated storage.

[0056] The sterilization method of soaking in salt water can effectively kill the microorganisms on the surface of the diced onions, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the product. The sodium chloride component in the salt water can destroy the cell wall structure of microorganisms, inhibit their growth and reproduction, and thus achieve a sterilization effect. The four-stage gradient freezing method can form fine ice crystals, reduce the damage to the cell structure of the diced onions, and maximize the nutritional content and taste of the diced onions. The pre-cooling stage forms small ice nuclei on the surface, the quick freezing stage causes the temperature to drop sharply, the ice crystal growth rate is reduced, the stabilization stage promotes the sublimation of residual water, and the temperature return lock makes the ice crystals more evenly distributed.
