The invention belongs to the technical field of
food processing, and discloses a production process of
coarse particle tomato
powder. The process comprises the steps of feeding, material heating, conveying and filtering, high-pressure atomization,
spray drying,
fluidized bed cooling, material mixing, screening and packaging. The tomato sauce with the
solid content of 36%-38% and the
viscosity of 7-8 cm / 30 s is adopted as a
raw material, and key process parameters such as the preheating temperature, atomization parameters (the aperture of a spraying piece is 1.4-2.0 mm, and the pressure is 10-20 MPa), the
fluidized bed cooling temperature (20-25 DEG C) and the like are strictly controlled, so that the tomato sauce with the
solid content of 36%-38% and the
viscosity of 7-8 cm / 30 s is prepared. The prepared coarse tomato
powder is high in
lycopene content (more than or equal to 150mg / 100g), low in
moisture content (less than or equal to 3.5%), uniform in particles, small in amount of
fine powder below 120 meshes, rich in
flavor and good in
solubility and
dispersity, and is suitable for the industrial fields of high-end foods such as soup bases, dusting
powder,
solid beverages and the like. The method is stable in process and suitable for large-scale production.
