Solution Overview

Problem

Existing burger buns made primarily from wheat flour lack volume and shape when completely replaced with other ingredients, failing to meet consumer expectations in terms of appearance, texture, and taste.

Innovation Solution

A method for manufacturing a bibim rice burger that replaces traditional burger buns with bibim rice buns, incorporating a bun producing process that involves gelatinizing rice, stir-frying vegetables and seasonings, mixing with pregelatinized waxy corn starch, and oven cooking to maintain shape and texture.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If wheat flour is completely replaced with other ingredients to create bibim rice buns, then the bun can have unique taste and texture, but the bun loses volume and shape

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunique taste and textureVSAvoidbun volume and shape
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite material approach by combining rice flour with specific ratios of glutinous rice flour, potato starch, and egg white. This composite formulation maintains the structural integrity and volume of traditional buns while achieving the desired bibim rice flavor and texture characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by carefully adjusting the chemical and physical parameters of the bun ingredients, including the ratio of dry ingredients to wet ingredients, the type and amount of binding agents, and the cooking temperature and time to achieve proper rise and texture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Shape

If vegetables with high moisture content are mixed into the bun, then the bun can maintain original bibim rice shape, but the bun structure may become compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebibim rice shapeVSAvoidbun structure stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses an intermediary approach by incorporating egg white and specific starches as binding agents that mediate between the moisture from vegetables and the structural integrity of the bun. These intermediaries absorb excess moisture while maintaining the overall bun structure and shape.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a flexible structural framework using the bun dough matrix that can accommodate the moisture content of vegetables while maintaining structural integrity. The dough acts as a flexible container that holds the bibim rice filling in the proper shape.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films
