Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing bread embodying a design image. More specifically, by embodying the design image in such a way that edible powders having various colors are sequentially sprinkled on the upper surface of the bread through the coloring holes of the mask panel, not only can a design image forming an integral part with bread such as castella be successfully embodied, but also by embodying the design image using a plurality of mask panels each having coloring holes corresponding to each design area, a very delicate design image can be precisely embodied on the surface of the bread. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing bread embodying a design image.
Background Art
[0002] With the development of confectionery and bread-making technologies, decorated cakes that decorate the outer surface of products with various materials and shapes to enhance the aesthetic feeling of cakes are widely sold.
[0003] On the other hand, conventional decorated cakes according to the prior art are manufactured by applying an icing treatment to a cake sheet using fresh cream or the like and then applying various colored syrups or the like on the icing treatment surface.
[0004] However, since the image drawn in such a tracing manner on the icing treatment surface of the cake sheet has to be embodied in a state separated from the cake sheet constituting the cake body, there is a limit in that a design unity with the cake body cannot be formed.
[0005] Moreover, the conventional method of applying a coloring material such as syrup on the icing treatment surface of the cake sheet has a technical limitation that it cannot be applied to general bread products such as castella in which the coloring material such as syrup has to be absorbed inside because there is no icing treatment surface.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0015] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the same components in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible. In addition, descriptions of known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention are omitted.
[0016] Figure 1 is a procedure flowchart for explaining the execution process of a method for manufacturing bread embodying a design image according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, with reference to Figure 1, the execution process of a method for manufacturing bread embodying a design image according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0017] First, the manufacturer ages the manufactured bread such as castella and stores it on a wood rack (wood rack) made of oak wood or the like so that moisture does not evaporate from the upper surface of the bread, which is the part where the design image is formed, and ages it for a predetermined period (for example, 1 to 2 days) (S110).
[0018] Next, the manufacturer produces the number of mask panels necessary to embody the plurality of colors included in the design image to be embodied on the upper surface of the bread as shown in Figure 2 (S120).
[0019] Specifically, when the total number of types of colors used in the plurality of design areas constituting the design image to be embodied on the surface of the bread is 5, the manufacturer can produce a total of 5 mask panels in which coloring holes of the same size and shape as the design areas corresponding to each color are formed.
[0020] Next, the manufacturer manufactures coloring materials, which are natural edible powders (powders), each having a color to be colored in the plurality of design areas constituting the design image to be embodied on the surface of the bread (S130).
[0021] For example, when the color to be applied in a specific design area is yellow, the manufacturer can produce pumpkin powder and use it as a natural edible coloring material. When the color to be applied in a specific design area is orange, the manufacturer can produce tomato powder and use it as a natural edible coloring material. When the color to be applied in a specific design area is black, the manufacturer can produce black sesame powder and use it as a natural edible coloring material. When the color to be applied in a specific design area is red, the manufacturer can produce red rice powder and use it as a natural edible coloring material. When the color to be applied in a specific design area is blue, the manufacturer can produce gardenia powder and use it as a natural edible coloring material.
[0022] Furthermore, the manufacturer can also produce the powder of the color to be applied in a specific design area by mixing at least two or more of the natural edible powders of different colors manufactured as described above.
[0023] Specifically, when the color to be applied in a specific design area is green, the manufacturer can also produce a natural edible coloring material by mixing gardenia powder and pumpkin powder.
[0024] After completing the production of the natural edible powders for each color in this way, the manufacturer sequentially and alternately arranges a plurality of mask panels, each having coloring holes corresponding to each design area, on the upper surface of the bread, and sequentially embodies the colors in each design area that constitutes the design image to be embodied on the surface of the bread. The natural edible powders corresponding to the colors of each design area are sequentially sprinkled onto the upper surface of the bread through the coloring holes of the mask panels to sequentially embody each color (S140).
[0025] Specifically, in order for the manufacturer to embody the design image as shown in Figure 2 on the surface of the bread, the manufacturer prepares four mask panels corresponding to the four design areas (loess color, black, white, blue) required for the design image. Each of these mask panels has coloring holes corresponding to each color.
[0026] After that, the manufacturer places the first mask panel with coloring holes corresponding to the yellowish-brown design area on the upper surface of the bread, and in this state, sprinkles the yellowish-brown natural edible powder through the coloring holes of the first mask panel, thus completing the coloring of the first design area as shown in Figure 3.
[0027] After that, the manufacturer places the second mask panel with coloring holes corresponding to the black design area in Figure 2 on the upper surface of the bread as shown in Figure 4, and in this state, sprinkles the black edible powder through the coloring holes of the second mask panel, thus completing the coloring of the second design area as shown in Figure 5.
[0028] Next, the manufacturer places the third mask panel with coloring holes corresponding to the white design area in Figure 2 on the upper surface of the bread as shown in Figure 6, and in this state, sprinkles the white edible powder through the coloring holes of the third mask panel as shown in Figure 7, thus completing the coloring of the third design area as shown in Figure 8.
[0029] After that, the manufacturer places the fourth mask panel with coloring holes corresponding to the blue design area in Figure 2 on the upper surface of the bread, and in this state, sprinkles the blue edible powder through the coloring holes of the fourth mask panel, or applies blue edible cream, which is a material capable of expressing the texture of the scarf, the shape of the said design area, thus completing the coloring of the fourth design area as shown in Figure 9.
[0030] Thus, in the present invention, while using the printmaking method, the design image is embodied by sprinkling natural edible powder onto the upper surface of the bread through the coloring holes of the mask panel. In this way, it is possible not only to successfully embody the design image even in a bread product such as castella without an artificial icing treatment surface for preventing the internal absorption of coloring materials such as syrup, similar to a decorated cake according to the prior art, but also to form a sense of unity with the bread product of the design image by embodying the design image through the natural edible powder directly sprinkled on the upper surface of the bread such as castella without an artificial icing treatment surface.
[0031] On the other hand, in implementing the present invention, in the above-described S110 step, by undergoing the aging process in a wood rack, which is a wooden shelf made of oak wood or the like, it becomes possible to suppress the evaporation of moisture from the upper surface of the bread. As a result, the edible powder scattered on the upper surface of the bread in the above-described S140 step does not scatter from the surface of the bread, absorbs the moisture on the surface of the bread, and is fused with the surface texture of the bread, so that a stable adhesion state can be formed on the surface of the bread.
[0032] Also, when performing the aging process in the above-described S110 step, the manufacturer arranges the upper surface of the bread adjacent to the upper panel of the wooden shelf and arranges the side surface of the bread sufficiently spaced from the wooden shelf, thereby suppressing the evaporation of moisture from the upper surface of the bread to the maximum extent and causing relatively more moisture evaporation to occur from the side surface of the bread. Thereby, while increasing the adhesion strength of the edible powder on the upper surface of the bread as described above, the side surface of the bread constitutes a dry texture with relatively evaporated moisture, thereby reinforcing the support rigidity on the side surface of the bread. Thereby, it is also possible to prevent the shape of the bread from being easily deformed by the gravitational direction or the external force applied laterally during the manufacturing process of the product or the transfer process of the product.
[0033] After that, as shown in FIG. 10, the manufacturer forms a manufacturer's mark on the side surface of the bread such as castella by stamping a metal material seal heated to a high temperature (for example, 100° C.), and the heat during the seal stamping process is transmitted to the side surface of the bread, so that the load support strength on the side surface of the bread can be increased through the drying process of the side surface of the bread (S150).
[0034] Thus, in the present invention, by performing the stamping process of the seal heated to a high temperature on the side surface of the bread, a manufacturer's mark is formed, and a high-temperature heat treatment is performed on the side surface of the bread. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, by performing heat curing treatment on a partial region of the side surface of the bread in a strip shape in the diagonal direction, while minimizing the change in the texture of the bread through the minimum heat transfer on the side surface of the bread, the load support strength on the side surface of the bread is increased with the widest possible width vertically and horizontally on the side surface of the bread. Thereby, it is also possible to prevent the shape of the bread from being easily deformed by an external force in the gravitational direction or the lateral direction applied during the manufacturing of the product or the transfer process of the product.
[0035] In addition, in the present invention, due to the increase in the load support strength on the side surface of the bread, it is possible to ensure the durability that the bread can maintain its original shape for the maximum possible length despite the increase in load due to the spraying of the edible powder in the process of embodying the design image as described above on the upper surface of the bread.
[0036] In addition, in the present invention, instead of performing heat curing treatment on the entire side surface of the bread, only a strip-shaped region in the diagonal direction, which is a partial region of the side surface, is partially heat cured, so that while minimizing the change in the taste and texture of the bread due to the heat curing treatment, it is possible to most efficiently prevent the shape of the bread from being deformed by an external force applied in the vertical or horizontal direction.
[0037] In addition, in the present invention, through the stamping process of the heated seal, the manufacturer's mark process and the heat curing process can be executed simultaneously, which can greatly increase the efficiency in the product process.
[0038] On the one hand, as described above, the manufacturer rapidly freezes the stamped bread at a predetermined temperature (e.g., -45°C) (S160), thereby maximizing the prevention of the high heat applied to the side of the bread during the stamping process of the stamp heated to a high temperature in step S150 described above from being transmitted to the inside of the bread and changing the taste and texture of the bread. It is preferable to rapidly freeze the edible powder scattered on the upper surface of the bread to increase the fixing power of the edible powder on the upper surface of the bread and prevent the color of the edible powder from changing.
[0039] After that, the manufacturer attaches a transparent protective film to the upper surface of the bread frozen in step S160 described above to block the contact of the outside air with the edible powder scattered on the upper surface of the bread. Thereby, it is also possible to prevent the color of the design embodied through the edible powder from being deteriorated by contact with the outside air (S170).
[0040] After that, the manufacturer vacuum-packages the bread with the protective film attached to its upper surface to more completely block the contact of the outside air with the edible powder scattered on the upper surface of the bread. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the color of the design embodied through the edible powder from being deteriorated during the distribution process of the product, and it is also possible to prevent the product itself from being deteriorated by contact with the outside air (S180).
[0041] After that, the manufacturer puts the vacuum-packaged bread into a cold storage box together with a refrigerant for storage, so as to prepare for the delivery for the sale of the bread embodying the design image according to the present invention.
