The invention discloses a
curcuma zedoary cooking-
slicing-
drying-fresh-keeping
integrated production method, and belongs to the technical field of
curcuma zedoary
processing. The
curcuma zedoary
processing method comprises the following steps: harvesting curcuma zedoary rhizomes meeting the standard from November to December, performing
impurity removal and cleaning pretreatment, cooking the curcuma zedoary rhizomes at 95-103 DEG C for 15-25 minutes,
processing the curcuma zedoary rhizomes into slices, ventilating, shading and airing the slices for 1-3 days, and
drying the slices at 55-65 DEG C for 2-4 hours to obtain a dry product; and soaking the curcuma zedoary
cut flowers in a specific
preservative for 15-20 minutes in an environment with the temperature of 2-5 DEG C and the
humidity of 65%-75%, draining, ventilating, packaging and refrigerating. The
preservative is prepared by step-by-step
dissolution, dispersion and mixing. By optimizing processing parameters and innovating a fresh-keeping
system, the
water content of the dried curcuma zedoary is smaller than or equal to 12%, the
cut flower
vase fresh-keeping period is longer than or equal to 15 days, active ingredients such as
curcumin are effectively reserved, the product quality and commodity value are improved, operation is easy and convenient, and the method is suitable for large-scale application.
