This invention relates to the field of
food processing technology, specifically to a deep-
processing material for hollow
fruits and vegetables and its application method. The deep-
processing material for hollow
fruits and vegetables is characterized by comprising a pretreatment solution, a color-protecting, hardening, and
antioxidant solution, and a filling material; the pretreatment solution is a
citric acid solution with a
mass concentration of 0.1%-0.3%; the color-protecting, hardening, and
antioxidant solution contains 0.01%-0.5%
sodium hexametaphosphate, 0.1%-0.3%
citric acid, 0.01%-0.1%
sodium isoascorbate, and 0.1%-0.5%
calcium salt, wherein the
calcium salt is
calcium chloride or calcium lactate. The beneficial effects of this invention are: the deep-
processing material has a reasonable composition; the pretreatment solution can initially protect
fruits and vegetables; the color-protecting, hardening, and
antioxidant solution can effectively improve the color and
hardness of processed fruits and vegetables and
delay oxidation; and the filling material can flexibly adjust
flavor and
nutrition to achieve diversified combinations. The resulting hollowed-out fruit and vegetable products have a great taste and an appealing appearance, and can achieve a combination of various fruit and vegetable flavors, enriching the variety of fruit and vegetable products and meeting different
consumer needs.
