The invention relates to a method for producing
powder caramel color through the combination of a spiral conveyer and an extruder, which can effectively solve the problems that the operation is easy, the product quality is poor and the production efficiency is low. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps of: firstly mounting the spiral conveyer and the extruder to form a conveyance and
extrusion integrated production device, conveying a
raw material of glucose or
cane sugar into the spiral conveyer, mixing the
raw material with water and acid liquid, regulating the pH value of the
raw material, enabling the raw material to enter an area I of the spiral conveyer, heating a saccharification reaction to form an acidolysis
sugar liquid, feeding the acidolysis
sugar liquid into an area II of the spiral conveyer, injecting an amino compound to carry out a
Maillard reaction to form the liquid high-temperature
caramel color, heating the mixture by an area III of the spiral conveyer, feeding the mixture into the extruder, carrying out vacuum air-liquid separation on the mixture,
cooling down by a
coolant to obtain a
solid, and crushing the
solid to obtain finished-product
caramel color. The method for producing the
powder caramel color through the combination of the spiral conveyer and the extruder has the advantages of simpleness and easiness for operation, integration of conveyance and
extrusion, good product quality and high production efficiency, and is an innovation on the production of the caramel color.
