AI Technical Summary
There is a demand to enhance the preference of confectionery using Jerusalem artichokes by improving its taste and texture.
The development of Jerusalem artichoke chips involves slicing the tubers to a thickness of 0.8 to 3.5 mm, drying them at 40 to 50°C for 13 to 17 hours, and then baking at 100 to 140°C for 2 to 30 minutes, optionally with additional steps such as oil spraying, salt coating, and chocolate coating.
The process results in Jerusalem artichoke chips with a grilled appearance, crisp texture, and enhanced flavor, which can significantly improve the taste of confectionery.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This specification discloses technology relating to Jerusalem artichoke chips. [Background technology]
[0002] Jerusalem artichoke is a food ingredient that is rich in dietary fiber including inulin. Patent Document 1 describes a confectionery using Jerusalem artichoke. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3194080 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] There has been a demand for improved palatability of confectioneries using Jerusalem artichoke. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The confectionery in one embodiment disclosed in the present specification is Jerusalem artichoke chips obtained by drying Jerusalem artichoke with skin sliced to a thickness of 0.8 to 3.5 mm at a temperature range of 40 to 50° C. for a processing time of 13 to 17 hours, and then browning the same at a temperature range of 100 to 140° C. for a processing time of 2 to 30 minutes. The Jerusalem artichoke chips of this embodiment can improve the palatability of the confectionery due to their browned appearance, crispy texture, and taste that makes use of the flavor of the Jerusalem artichoke.
[0006] Moreover, one embodiment of the confectionery disclosed in this specification is Jerusalem artichoke chips, which are made by drying Jerusalem artichoke sliced to a thickness of 0.8 to 3.5 mm with the skin on for 13 to 17 hours at a temperature range of 40 to 50° C., spraying edible oil onto one side, browning the surface for 2 to 30 minutes at a temperature range of 100 to 140° C., and then coating with salt. This embodiment of Jerusalem artichoke chips can improve the palatability of the confectionery due to the browned appearance, crispy texture, and taste that combines the flavor of Jerusalem artichoke with a salty taste.
[0007] Moreover, one embodiment of the confectionery disclosed in this specification is Jerusalem artichoke chips, which are made by drying Jerusalem artichoke sliced to a thickness of 0.8 to 3.5 mm with the skin on at a temperature range of 40 to 50° C. for a processing time of 13 to 17 hours, spraying and coating one side with edible oil, browning the slices at a temperature range of 100 to 140° C. for a processing time of 2 to 30 minutes, applying salt, and coating with chocolate. With this embodiment of Jerusalem artichoke chips, the browned appearance, crispy texture, and taste of Jerusalem artichoke combined with saltiness and chocolate can improve the palatability of the confectionery.
[0008] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the form of Jerusalem artichoke chips, but can also be realized in the form of a method for producing Jerusalem artichoke chips, etc. [Brief description of the drawings]
[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing Jerusalem artichoke chips according to a first embodiment. [Diagram 2] FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing Jerusalem artichoke chips according to a second embodiment. [Diagram 3] FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing Jerusalem artichoke chips according to a third embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0010] 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a Jerusalem artichoke chip 10 of the first embodiment. The Jerusalem artichoke chips 10 are a snack made by drying Jerusalem artichoke sliced to a thickness of 0.8 to 3.5 mm at a temperature range of 40 to 50° C. for a processing time of 13 to 17 hours, and then browning the sliced Jerusalem artichoke at a temperature range of 100 to 140° C. for a processing time of 2 to 30 minutes.
[0011] Jerusalem artichoke chips 10 have a fleshy portion 12 and a skin portion 14. The fleshy portion 12 is the cooked part of the Jerusalem artichoke flesh. The skin portion 14 is the cooked part of the Jerusalem artichoke skin. The skin portion 14 is attached to the periphery of the fleshy portion 12. The fleshy portion 12 and the skin portion 14 are dried by cooking. The fleshy portion 12 and the skin portion 14 are browned.
[0012] The Jerusalem artichoke chips 10 described above have a grilled appearance, a crispy texture, and a taste that makes use of the flavor of the Jerusalem artichoke, thereby improving their palatability as a snack.
[0013] 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a Jerusalem artichoke chip 20 of a second embodiment.
