Additionally, while preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below, the technical concept of the present invention is not limited or restricted thereto and can be modified and implemented in various ways by those skilled in the art.
[0018] FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for manufacturing red jujube syrup according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 to 3 are photographs of an actual product of red jujube syrup manufactured from the method for manufacturing red jujube syrup according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0019] The present invention proposes a method for manufacturing fermented red jujube syrup that meets customer needs by satisfying not only health but also taste, in line with recent trends of well-being and vegan food.
[0020] Referring to FIG. 1, a method for manufacturing red jujube syrup according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a material selection step (S10), a preparation step (S20), a jujube decoction extraction step (S30), a filtration step (S40), a jujube seed separation step (S50), a jujube seed boiling step (S60), a fruit pulp filtration step (S70), a jujube flesh and jujube peel steaming step (S80), a jujube flesh and jujube peel separation step (S90), a first double boiling step (S100), and a second double boiling and stirring step (S110).
[0021] The material selection step (S10) utilizes Miryang jujubes, the birthplace of jujubes, and selects only the finest and most excellent varieties.
[0022] The dried jujubes used as the main raw material of this invention are purely domestically produced (Miryang), utilizing a specialized region. Miryang jujubes are of superior quality and have the advantage of being less sweet than those grown in other regions, yet possessing a rich flavor.
[0023] The preparation step (S20) cleans the dried jujubes selected through the material selection step (S10) to remove foreign substances adsorbed on the dried jujubes.
[0024] The jujube double-boiler extraction step (S30) involves preparing a pouch, placing whole washed dried jujubes into it, and placing the pouch containing the dried jujubes into a pressure double-boiler to perform double-boiler heating to extract the jujube double-boiler liquid. Specifically, the jujube extract extraction step (S30) involves extracting the jujube double-boiler liquid by heating in a double-boiler for 24 to 48 hours under high temperature conditions of 80℃ to 95℃. However, when extracting at a low temperature of 45℃ to 60℃, the double-boiler treatment is performed for 48 to 72 hours.
[0025] The filtration step (S40) removes the product heated in a double boiler from the jujube double boiler extract step (S30), filters out the peels and seeds, and obtains only the jujube double boiler liquid excluding the peels and seeds.
[0026] The jujube seed separation step (S50) involves preparing dried jujubes, soaking them in water, and then separating the jujube seeds and stems. The dried jujubes used in the jujube seed separation step (S50) are those that have been washed after undergoing the material selection step (S10) and the preparation step (S20).
[0027] The jujube seed separation step (S50) is a process of separating the jujube seeds and stems using scissors or a knife after soaking the dried jujubes in water, and is a preliminary step to obtain the jujube seeds and remove the flesh attached to the jujube seeds.
[0028] The jujube seed boiling step (S60) is a process of separating the jujube seeds and jujube stems from the jujube seed separation step (S50), separating only the jujube seeds, boiling them thoroughly at a temperature of 80 to 95°C for 48 hours to separate the flesh attached to the jujube seeds.
[0029] The jujube seed boiling step (S60) has the advantage of extracting the pulp attached to the seed by boiling separately while the pulp is still attached to the seed, so that a large amount of flavonoid components contained in the jujube pulp and jujube seed can be extracted.
[0030] When dried jujubes are boiled with the seeds still inside, there is a disadvantage in that it is difficult to separate the flesh attached to the seeds. When the boiled jujubes are poured into a sieve and crushed by rubbing from above, the seeds and stems fall off, and large pieces of flesh also get caught in the sieve, resulting in a lower yield of flesh. Additionally, because the jujube flesh is large overall, there is a risk of spoilage, so there is a disadvantage in that sugar, preservatives, etc., must be added after production to prevent spoilage or to store in an ice box.
[0031] In addition, by boiling the jujube seeds themselves, it is possible to extract flavonoids, which are natural sleep aids and sedatives contained in the seeds, and this has the advantage of being usable.
[0032] The fruit pulp filtration step (S70) is a step of filtering the fined jujube fruit pulp from the jujube seed crushing step (S60) through a sieve. Since only the fined jujube fruit pulp from which the jujube seeds and stems have been removed is filtered, a sieve with small (fine) particles can be used, making the process easier and resulting in finer particles of fined jujube fruit pulp. Additionally, in the fruit pulp filtration step (S70), the fruit pulp is finely crushed using a sieve with small particles, so there is almost no risk of spoilage.
[0033] If a commercial blender is used instead of a filter in the fruit pulp filtration step (S70), the texture of the jujubes will not be crushed and the jujube skins will not be completely ground, leaving residue, so it is desirable to filter using a filter.
[0034] In the jujube flesh and jujube skin steaming step (S80), the jujube skin and jujube flesh remaining after the jujube seeds are separated in the jujube seed separation step (S50) are thoroughly boiled at a temperature of 80°C to 95°C for 12 to 24 hours.
[0035] The jujube peel and jujube flesh separation step (S90) is a step in which the product obtained by mixing the jujube peel and jujube flesh, which has been steamed through the jujube flesh and jujube peel steaming step (S80), is cooled, poured into a sieve, and pressed with force to filter the jujube peel through the sieve and obtain only the jujube flesh. When the pitted dried jujubes are boiled for 24 hours and cooled, they have a thick consistency and viscosity similar to porridge.
[0036] The first double-boiling step (S100) involves placing the fruit pulp separated from the jujube seeds during the boiling process from the jujube seed boiling step (S60), and the jujube flesh separated from the jujube peel and jujube flesh separation step (S90), into a cauldron double-boiling pot and performing double-boiling heating for 24 hours.
[0037] The first water bath step (S100) includes a moisture control process in which the lid of the container of the cauldron water bath is opened during the water bath heating process to release steam to the outside, thereby allowing all moisture to evaporate from the jujube flesh. The moisture control process of the first water bath step (S100) prevents the occurrence of mold and prevents spoilage by evaporating all the moisture retained inside the cauldron water bath.
[0038] In the second water bath and stirring step (S110), the jujube extract extracted from the fruit pulp filtration step (S40) and the jujube flesh including the flesh separated from the jujube seeds and the jujube flesh separated from the jujube skin, which were heated in a water bath in the first water bath step (S100), are placed into a cauldron water bath, and pre-divided rice syrup is added in a certain ratio and water bath heating is performed for 72 hours. At this time, the jujube extract, rice syrup, and jujube flesh are not all added at once; instead, a portion of the jujube extract, rice syrup, and jujube flesh are added, and after checking the viscosity, the remaining jujube extract, rice syrup, and jujube flesh are added later.
[0039] Specifically, the second water bath and stirring step (S110) includes a low temperature process of 25°C to 35°C, a medium temperature process of 45°C to 50°C, and a high temperature process of 55°C to 95°C, and the jujube extract, jujube pulp, and rice syrup are uniformly mixed, and the water bath heating is performed for 72 hours while stirring periodically so that the rice syrup does not stick to the bottom.
[0040] The second water bath and stirring step (S110) is performed under the conditions presented above, as heating at a high temperature of 100°C or higher for a short period of time may cause the contents to boil down quickly and make it difficult to achieve a deep and rich flavor.
[0041] The red jujube syrup produced from the method for producing red jujube syrup according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is characterized by having a content of 70% by weight of seedless dried jujubes and 30% by weight of rice syrup, based on 100% by weight of the total.
[0042] In addition, the red jujube syrup produced by the method for producing red jujube syrup according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention has a ratio of seedless dried jujubes to rice syrup of 70:30 weight%, and has a composition and blending ratio of raw materials that are differentiated from mass-produced factory-made syrups on the market, and is also significantly different in terms of taste, aroma, and formulation.
[0043] The red jujube syrup produced by the method for producing red jujube syrup according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention has the advantage of possessing a healthy sweetness derived solely from jujubes, without using sugar, preservatives, or artificial coloring.
[0044] In addition, it can be mixed with hot water and consumed, or used in various dishes as a substitute for sugar, jam, or syrup.
[0045] The foregoing description is merely an illustrative explanation of the technical concept of the present invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains will be able to make various modifications, changes, and substitutions within the scope of the essential characteristics of the present invention. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention and the accompanying drawings are intended to explain, not limit, the technical concept of the present invention, and the scope of the technical concept of the present invention is not limited by such embodiments and accompanying drawings.
