Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to enzymatically hydrolyzed highland barley flour and a preparation process thereof. Background Art
[0002] Beverages produced and processed based on highland barley are a new type of product that has appeared in China in recent years. They are often called "highland barley milk" or "highland barley thick milk". Highland barley milk does not contain lactose, has a high dietary fiber content, and retains some unsaturated fatty acids of highland barley. At the same time, because it has a similar appearance and taste to dairy products, it can be drunk directly, or it can be mixed with coffee, milk tea and other beverages, so it is becoming more and more popular among consumers.
[0003] Highland barley flour is rich in dietary fiber and contains >4% β-glucan, making it suitable for healthy foods such as high-fiber meal replacements, baked carbohydrate-controlled foods, and low-GI foods. It can be used in the production of biscuits, bread, pastries, steamed buns, ready-to-drink beverages, and other products. Enzymatically hydrolyzed highland barley flour is a powdered raw material made from highland barley flour, enzyme preparations, and acidity regulators / processing aids. The powder is then processed through a series of processes, including enzymatic hydrolysis, filtration, acidity adjustment, homogenization, and spray drying.
[0004] Traditional highland barley enzymatic hydrolysis processes require phased hydrolysis based on the optimal conditions for different enzyme preparations, making the process complex. Furthermore, the feed-liquid ratio is high (typically between 1:3 and 1:5), and the concentration process before spray drying is energy-intensive, further complicating the production process. Furthermore, traditional highland barley enzymatic hydrolysis suffers from severe flavor loss after spray drying, and the powdered raw material exhibits poor solubility stability, limiting its application and development in the food and beverage industry.
[0005] Therefore, an enzymatic hydrolysis highland barley flour and a preparation process thereof are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0013] S5. Use a colloid mill to recirculate and grind the enzyme-inactivated enzymatic solution for 10-15 minutes;
[0014] S6. After grinding with a colloid mill, the enzyme-inactivated enzymatic solution is filtered using a filter bag filter to obtain a filtrate, which is then ground with a colloid mill and then transported to an emulsification tank;
[0015] S7. Under shearing conditions, add an acidity regulator or processing aid, adjust the pH to 6.5-7.5, and keep the temperature at 60-75° C. to obtain a mixed slurry;
[0016] S8, the sheared mixed slurry is circulated and homogenized for 10-20 minutes at a homogenization pressure of 20-30 MPa, and then filtered with a filter bag to obtain a liquid;
[0017] S9, the circulating homogenized liquid is stored in a temporary storage tank and waits for spray drying. After the spray drying tower is set to the temperature that meets the requirements, the liquid is spray dried;
