Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of edible burst beads and its production, in particular to a kind of non-transparent burst beads and its production system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The burst bead is a relatively novel edible product, which is usually directly added as an intermediate raw material to food to increase the novelty and nutritional comprehensiveness of the product. The burst bead is usually composed of an outer layer of hydrophilic colloid agglomeration and an inner layer / content mainly composed of oil and fat ingredients.

[0003] The burst bead in the prior art is almost transparent or translucent. In the article "Formulation Design and Process Optimization of Burst Bead Wall Material Based on Plant Gum" by Hao et al. in China Tobacco Science, 2020, 26(2):6, sodium alginate, carrageenan and glycerol are used to make burst bead rubber; the patent document with publication number CN 115413778 A discloses an anti-adhesion and fast-dissolving edible burst bead and its preparation method, which uses deionized water, gelatin, modified starch, sweetener, toughening agent and maltodextrin to make burst bead rubber; the patent document with publication number CN 117814478 A discloses a burst bead core liquid, a burst bead and a preparation method thereof, which uses gelatin, glycerol, sweetener and water to make burst bead rubber. The burst bead rubber in the above disclosed technology is transparent or translucent.

[0004] Transparent rubber skin facilitates the adjustment and monitoring of the production process, and also gives the burst bead a crystal clear appearance, but cannot meet the requirements of some special nutrients for light protection and cannot meet the market demand for color diversity of burst beads. In order to increase the nutritional comprehensiveness of edible products, additional nutrients such as Omega-3, vitamins, coenzyme Q10 and astaxanthin are usually added to the burst bead, especially the content. These additional nutrients have poor light stability and need to be strictly protected from light during production and long-term storage. At this time, transparent burst bead skin cannot meet the demand; in addition, one of the purposes of adding burst beads to food is to increase the novelty of the product. The transparent rubber skin of single color has low color novelty, and also cannot meet the processing needs of existing food. However, the existing burst bead drop pill technology relies on observing the internal state of the burst bead through the transparent rubber skin to judge the size of the oil liquid in the burst bead, whether the burst bead is eccentric, whether there are other impurities in the burst bead, etc. If some light shielding materials such as calcium carbonate and zinc oxide are simply added to the burst bead rubber to make the rubber liquid non-transparent, it will greatly affect the control of the production process and cannot realize stable production. SUMMARY

[0013] Further, the first glue storage tank (1), the second glue storage tank (2), and the Nth glue storage tank are the same size of glue storage tank, and are all horizontally arranged, such as horizontally arranged in a ring shape.

[0014] Further, the first glue storage tank (1), the second glue storage tank (2), and the Nth glue storage tank are provided with a jacket insulation layer (5) on the outer periphery.

[0018] Specifically, an opaque explosion bead production system, which is composed of a concentric dropping pill machine, an X-ray perspective machine, a pill washing machine, and a drying rotating cage, the concentric dropping pill machine contains a glue supply system capable of switching different glue liquids at any time, and the number of glue storage tanks of the glue supply system is N. The method for producing opaque explosion beads by the opaque explosion bead production system includes the following steps: Pre-production debugging of opaque explosion beads: first, prepare transparent explosion bead glue liquid, multiple different colors of opaque explosion bead glue liquid, and contents; Droplet adjustment: Add transparent bursting bead adhesive liquid to one of the storage tanks of the concentric droplet machine, and add various different colored opaque bursting bead adhesive liquids to the other storage tanks respectively; for example, add transparent bursting bead adhesive liquid to the first storage tank of the concentric droplet machine, add red opaque bursting bead adhesive liquid to the second storage tank, add white opaque bursting bead adhesive liquid to the third storage tank, etc. Simultaneously turn on all gear pumps and open all solenoid valves 9, so that both transparent and opaque bursting beads liquids flow out at the same time, purging the air in the pipes; Next, turn off all gear pumps and solenoid valves except for the gear pump and solenoid valve at the bottom of the storage tank for the transparent bursting gel liquid, allowing only the transparent bursting gel liquid to flow out, encapsulate the contents, and drip out from the dropper to obtain transparent wet bursting beads; adjust the machine parameters so that the krill oil is in the center of the wet bursting beads, the wet bursting beads weigh 260~280mg / bead, and the wet gel weight is 140~160mg / bead; Then close the gear pump and solenoid valve at the bottom of the storage tank for transparent bursting glue liquid, and open them to the same degree as the gear pump and solenoid valve at the bottom of the storage tank for transparent bursting glue liquid. At the same time, open the gear pump and solenoid valve at the bottom of the storage tank for opaque bursting glue liquid of one color (i.e., the first color), allowing only the opaque glue liquid of that color to flow out, encapsulate the contents, and drip out from the dropper to obtain the first color opaque wet bursting glue. When it is necessary to produce opaque wet burst beads of different colors, close the gear pump and solenoid valve at the bottom of the storage tank for the first color of opaque transparent burst beads, so that they are at the same opening degree as the gear pump and solenoid valve at the bottom of the storage tank for the transparent burst beads. At the same time, open the gear pump and solenoid valve at the bottom of the storage tank for the other color (i.e., the second color) of opaque burst beads, allowing only the opaque liquid of that color to flow out. After encapsulating the contents, it drips out from the dropper to obtain the second color of opaque wet burst beads. Similarly, it is possible to switch to producing opaque wet burst beads in the third color and the Nth color; Production process monitoring: The opaque wet burst beads are conveyed to the X-ray imaging instrument for monitoring. If multiple burst beads are found to be significantly off-center or defective, production needs to be suspended and the equipment needs to be readjusted. Production process debugging method: Turn off the gear pump and solenoid valve that are currently in operation, and simultaneously turn on the gear pump and solenoid valve at the bottom of the storage tank for transparent bursting bead adhesive, allowing only the transparent bursting bead adhesive to flow out. After encapsulating the contents, it drips out from the dropper to obtain transparent wet bursting beads; adjust the machine parameters so that the krill oil is located in the center of the wet bursting bead, the wet bursting bead weighs 260~280mg / bead, and the wet rubber weighs 140~160mg / bead; then turn off the gear pump and solenoid valve at the bottom of the storage tank for transparent bursting bead adhesive, and simultaneously turn on the gear pump and solenoid valve that are currently in operation, allowing only the opaque adhesive of a specific color to flow out. After encapsulating the contents, it drips out from the dropper to obtain opaque wet bursting beads; Unqualified product rejection: the obtained opaque wet blasting beads pass through the conveying belt to the X-ray machine to take X-ray film, and unqualified products are rejected. Marume and drying: the qualified opaque wet blasting beads are cleaned of surface grease by a marume machine, and finally dried into opaque blasting beads in a drying rotating cage.

[0019] The application has the following advantages: the opaque blasting beads are produced by using light shielding materials, which is beneficial to protect the nutrients with poor light stability in the blasting beads. The opaque blasting bead production system can effectively solve the problems of difficult adjustment and monitoring during the production of opaque blasting beads. The concentric dropping pill machine in the production system includes a glue supply system that can switch different glue liquids at any time. During production, the system is first switched to transparent glue liquid to facilitate observation of the blasting bead dropping pill state, and then switched to opaque glue liquid after adjustment is completed, so as to obtain opaque wet blasting beads. Then, the internal state of the opaque wet blasting beads is monitored by an X-ray machine. If problems such as blasting bead eccentricity occur, the concentric dropping pill machine can be switched to transparent glue liquid for adjustment again, and the above process is repeated until the dropping pill is stable. The X-ray machine can observe the internal state of the blasting beads through the opaque glue skin, and can effectively monitor and reject unqualified products during the production process.

Next, close the second gear pump 7 and the second solenoid valve 9, allowing only the transparent bursting bead liquid in the first storage tank 1 to flow out, coating the krill oil and dripping it from the dropper 12 to obtain transparent wet bursting beads. Adjust the machine parameters so that the krill oil is in the center of the wet bursting bead, the wet bursting bead weighs 260~280mg / bead, and the wet rubber weighs 140~160mg / bead; Then, the first gear pump 6 and the first solenoid valve 8 are closed, while the second gear pump 7 and the second solenoid valve 9 are opened, allowing only the opaque glue liquid in the second glue tank 2 to flow out, which then coats the krill oil and drips out from the dropper 12 to obtain opaque wet burst beads.

[0042] 5.2 Monitoring of the production process: The opaque wet burst beads are conveyed to the X-ray imaging instrument for monitoring. If multiple burst beads are found to be significantly off-center or unqualified, production needs to be suspended and the equipment needs to be readjusted.

[0043] 5.3 Production process debugging methods: Close the second gear pump 7 and the second solenoid valve 9, and simultaneously open the first gear pump 6 and the first solenoid valve 8, allowing only the transparent bursting bead liquid in the first storage tank 1 to flow out. After coating the krill oil, it drips out from the dropper 12 to obtain transparent wet bursting beads. Adjust the machine parameters so that the krill oil is located in the center of the wet bursting bead. The wet bursting bead weighs 260~280mg / bead, and the wet rubber weighs 140~160mg / bead. Then, the first gear pump 6 and the first solenoid valve 8 are closed, while the second gear pump 7 and the second solenoid valve 9 are opened, allowing only the opaque glue liquid in the second glue tank 2 to flow out, which then coats the krill oil and drips out from the dropper 12 to obtain opaque wet burst beads.

[0048] 6.3 Astaxanthin Detection Results: The astaxanthin content was detected according to the literature "Wang Song, Hao Pengfei, Zhao Xinpeng, et al. Determination of Total Astaxanthin Content in Antarctic Krill Oil by High Performance Liquid Chromatography [J]. Journal of Analytical Testing, 2016, 35(4):5." The results of the stability test after 8 weeks are shown in Table 1.
