Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of selenium-enriched almond processing, in particular to a selenium-enriched almond processing method. Background Art

[0002] Selenium-enriched almonds are a type of almond rich in selenium, offering unique nutritional value and health benefits. The selenium in selenium-enriched almonds is a trace element vital to human health and known as the "king of cancer prevention." It plays a significant antioxidant and cancer prevention role in the human body. The selenium content in every 100 grams of almonds is approximately 26-28 micrograms. A moderate intake of selenium can enhance immunity and improve the body's resistance to disease. In addition to selenium, selenium-enriched almonds are also rich in a variety of nutrients, including protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. These ingredients give selenium-enriched almonds not only a unique taste and flavor, but also provide comprehensive nutritional support for the human body.

[0003] The processing of selenium-enriched almonds in the prior art is divided into the steps of washing, hot water soaking for detoxification, drying, seasoning and packaging. However, the drying time in this step ranges from 1-2 hours to 6-7 hours, so drying is the most time-consuming step in the processing. In addition, traditional drying uses a drying box in which the almonds need to be placed in the drying box after drying and then taken out before being replaced with the next batch. Therefore, the processing efficiency has not been improved and the use is inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0022] (3) Beneficial effects

[0023] The present invention provides a method for processing selenium-enriched almonds. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. The present invention is provided with: a first drying box and a second drying box. By adding a new drying method in the steps, it can improve the efficiency of the existing selenium-rich almond drying, and can shorten the drying time from the traditional several hours to more than ten minutes, thereby improving the processing efficiency. In addition, the first drying box and the second drying box are used in an assembly line manner to continuously complete the drying operation, solving the traditional complex operation of drying almonds proposed in the background technology, which requires waiting for the almonds in the drying box to be taken out before replacing the next batch.

[0025] 2. The present invention is provided with: a feed hopper, a first drying box, a fan and a buffer inclined plate. Almonds are placed inside the feed hopper and fall into the first drying box. The fan introduces external air, which enters the interior of the heating box and is heated. The induced draft fan provides an air-inducing effect, and the hot gas flows into the interior of the first drying box. At this time, the selenium-rich almonds will be buffered by the buffer inclined plate when falling, and the upward blowing force will slow down the falling speed of the almonds and dry the moisture, completing the preliminary surface drying of the almonds. This structure can slow down the falling of the almonds to prevent them from being damaged by bumps, and at the same time provide wind force to blow upward to accelerate the drying process.

[0026] 3. The present invention is provided with: a conveying net, a discharge pipe, a second drying box, an upper hot air pipe and a lower hot air pipe. The conveying net is transported by an external driving device. During the transportation process, the almonds fall onto the surface of the conveying net through the discharge pipe and are transported to the inside of the second drying box by the action of the conveying net. During the transportation process, part of the internal heat of the heating box enters the inside of the second drying box, and the gas flows through the circulation pipe to the lower hot air pipe, and cooperates with the upper hot air pipe to complete the drying process on the upper and lower surfaces of the almonds, thereby realizing fast and efficient drying operation.

[0035] Step 1: Cleaning: Clean the selenium-rich almonds to be processed to remove impurities and dust on the surface to ensure the cleanliness of the almonds;

[0036] Step 2: Soak in hot water to detoxify: Soak the almonds in hot water at 90-100 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes to remove the toxicity of the almonds. Stir thoroughly to inactivate the amygdalinase.

[0037] Step 3, drying: The soaked and detoxified almonds are dried. The first step is to place the almonds in the feed hopper 2. The fan 4 introduces external air, which is heated by the heating box 3. The heat enters the first drying box 1 through the branch pipe 19. The upward blowing force slows down the falling speed of the almonds and dries the moisture, completing the preliminary surface drying of the almonds.

[0038] Step 2: The almonds are dropped onto the surface of the conveying net 5 through the discharge pipe 7. During the conveying process, the almonds are transported by the conveying net 5. Another part of the internal heat of the heating box 3 enters the interior of the second drying box 6. The gas flows to the lower hot air pipe 9 through the circulation pipe 10, and cooperates with the upper hot air pipe 11 to complete the drying process on the upper and lower surfaces of the almonds. The drying temperature is 50℃-70℃, the drying time is 30min, and the humidity is 30%-50%.

[0039] Step 4: Seasoning: The dried almonds can be seasoned according to market demand and consumer tastes. This typically involves adding various seasonings, such as salt, sugar, or spices, and evenly applying the seasonings to the surface of the almonds using a drum seasoning machine.

[0040] Step 5. Packaging: Finally, the processed selenium-rich almonds are packaged using materials that meet food safety standards and ensure the packaging is airtight and moisture-proof to extend the shelf life of the product and maintain product quality.

[0041] The first drying box 1 specifically also includes a second drying box 6. Both sides of the interior of the first drying box 1 are fixedly connected with a number of mounting racks 17. One side of the mounting rack 17 is fixedly connected with a slide bar. The outer sleeve of the slide bar is provided with a support spring 14. The top of the support spring 14 is fixedly connected with a support rack 18. The support rack 18 and the slide bar are slidably matched. The top of one side of the support rack 18 is fixedly connected with a buffer inclined plate 13. The selenium-rich almonds will be buffered by the buffer inclined plate 13 when falling, and the blowing force from bottom to top will slow down the falling speed of the almonds and dry the moisture, thereby completing the preliminary surface drying of the almonds. The bottom of the first drying box 1 Both sides of the end are fixedly connected with an air outlet inclined pipe 16, and the interior of the air outlet inclined pipe 16 is fixedly connected with an induced draft fan 15.

At the same time, the heating wire inside the heating box 3 is heated, and the fan 4 introduces external air. After being introduced, the air enters the interior of the heating box 3 and is heated. Then the hot gas enters the first drying box 1 and the second drying box 6 respectively through the branch pipe 19. The induced draft fan 15 provides an induced draft function, and the hot gas circulates to the interior of the first drying box 1. At this time, the selenium-rich almonds will be buffered by the buffer inclined plate 13 and fall, and the blowing force from bottom to top will slow down the falling speed of the almonds and dry the moisture, completing the preliminary surface drying of the almonds; the conveying net 5 is transported by an external driving device. During the conveying process, the almonds fall to the surface of the conveying net 5 through the discharge pipe 7, and are transported to the interior of the second drying box 6 by the action of the conveying net 5. During the conveying process, part of the internal heat of the heating box 3 enters the interior of the second drying box 6, and the gas circulates through the circulation pipe 10 to the lower hot air pipe 9, and cooperates with the upper hot air pipe 11 to complete the drying process on the upper and lower surfaces of the almonds, thereby achieving fast and efficient drying operation.
