AI Technical Summary
Existing methods do not provide a novel way to produce edible products such as strings, belts, and nets using plants of the Cucurbitaceae family, limiting their culinary applications.
The method involves dividing Cucurbitaceae plants into strips, twisting or shredding them to form edible strings or belts, and weaving or stretching them to create edible nets, utilizing plants like yugao, kanpyo, or loofah.
Enables the production of versatile edible products like strings, belts, and nets with adjustable thickness and unique culinary uses, such as bags and fried snacks, enhancing food presentation and preparation.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing an edible body that can be eaten by humans or animals, and to the edible body. [Background technology]
[0002] A technique has been proposed in the past to powderize kanpyo, a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family, and use the powder in food products (see Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 132868 / 1983 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a novel method for producing an edible string, an edible belt, an edible sheet, and an edible net using a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family, as well as an edible string and an edible net. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The method for producing edible string of the present invention is as follows: A step (A-1) of dividing a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family into strips to obtain strips; and (A-2) twisting the strips.
[0006] The method for producing edible belts is as follows: A step (B-1) of shredding a Cucurbitaceae plant into thread-like strips to obtain elongated products; and (B-2) obtaining a belt from the strip.
[0007] The present invention may include a step (B-3) of preparing a plurality of belts obtained in the step (B-2) and weaving the plurality of belts.
[0008] The method for producing an edible net of the present invention is as follows: Dividing a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family into strips to obtain strips; forming a sheet of the strip; forming a cut hole in the sheet; and pulling the sheet to both sides in a direction intersecting the direction in which the incisions in the sheet extend.
[0009] The edible string of the present invention is obtained by twisting elongated pieces of a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family.
[0010] The edible net of the present invention is obtained by making incisions in a sheet comprising elongated parts of a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family and stretching the sheet.
[0011] Edible matter refers to anything that can be eaten by humans or animals. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0012] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a plan view schematically showing an edible sheet according to an embodiment. [Figure 2] 1 is a diagram showing a schematic diagram of a method for manufacturing an edible net according to an embodiment. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0013] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. 1.Method of producing edible string The method for producing an edible string according to the present embodiment includes a step (A-1) of dividing a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family into strips to obtain strips, and a step (A-2) of twisting the strips.
[0014] 2. Method for producing edible belt and edible sheet The method for producing an edible belt according to this embodiment includes a step (B-1) of cutting a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family into thin thread-like strips to obtain strips, and a step (B-2) of obtaining a belt from the strips.
[0015] The method for producing an edible sheet according to this embodiment includes a step (B-3) of preparing a plurality of belts obtained in the step (B-2) and weaving the plurality of belts, thereby obtaining an edible sheet as shown in FIG.
[0016] 3.Method of manufacturing edible net The method for manufacturing an edible net according to the embodiment includes the steps of dividing a Cucurbitaceae plant into strips to obtain strips, forming a sheet from the strips, forming slits in the sheet, and pulling the sheet to both sides in a direction intersecting the direction in which the slits extend. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2(A), slits 22a are made in edible sheet 12, which is then stretched perpendicular to the direction in which slits 22a extend, forming holes 22b, as shown in Figure 2(B). This allows for the production of edible net 20 in which slits 22a open up as holes 22b.
[0017] 4. Cucurbitaceae plants Examples of Cucurbitaceae plants include yugao (sweet gourd), kanpyo (dried gourd), loofah (spontaneous gourd), and bottle gourd. In particular, it is preferable to use a plant obtained by drying a Cucurbitaceae plant and form it into thin strips or threads to produce an edible string, edible belt, edible sheet, or edible net.
[0018] 5. Specific examples using kanpyo (1) Edible string-like substance By tearing kanpyo into thin strips, you can make long strings, and by weaving these, you can make longer, stronger, edible strings. The thickness can be adjusted freely.
[0019] (2) Edible knitting By tearing kanpyo into thin strips and weaving them into a mesh shape, such as a triangle, square, or hexagon, edible bags can be made. Foodstuffs that tend to scatter can be placed in these bags and heated, exposed, or cooked, allowing for the creation of unprecedented dishes.
[0020] If you make small, relatively fine-mesh bags filled with small ingredients like mixed vegetables, you can make dishes that allow you to eat the whole ingredient when eating.
[0021] (3) Fried foods The strings or net-shaped pieces of kanpyo are fried in oil and then seasoned with salt, sugar, and others You can also sprinkle seasoning on them and turn them into chips.
[0022] (4) Canned Kanpyo Kanpyo strings can be placed in a can and seasoned with a liquid containing seasonings. Long strings of kanpyo can also be rolled up in concentric circles and placed inside. Kanpyo can also be pre-seasoned, and the shape is interesting because it is an unusual idea to roll kanpyo up in concentric circles and place it inside. When you open the lid, the unexpected shape creates a surprise that is a surprise, providing fun. It can also be cut to an appropriate length and easily used in cooking.
[0023] This embodiment can be modified in various ways within the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
