Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preserved fruit drying, and particularly relates to a full-automatic energy-saving drying technology for bergamot fruit series products.
Background
The fructus Citri Sarcodactylis also known as fructus Citri Sarcodactylis, and is a evergreen small arbor of Rutaceae. It is produced mainly in Minyue, Chuan and Jiangzhe provinces in China. The product has pungent, bitter, sour and warm taste, contains various traditional Chinese medicine components such as limonin, diosmin, hesperidin, flavonoid glycoside and active polysaccharide, and has the effects of strengthening spleen and stomach, relaxing muscles and tendons, promoting blood circulation, regulating qi and reducing phlegm; the bergamot fruit is rich in nutrition, the protein (1.2%) is 1.5 times of that of cucumber, the vitamin C (9.45 mg/100 g) is obviously higher than that of cucumber, and the bergamot fruit has the advantages of low calorie, low sodium and high potassium, and is special bergamot oil and particularly a famous and precious spice.
The Guangdong style preserved fruit industry from Tang and Song is a traditional food with local characteristics in China. Since Ming dynasty, Chaoshan countrymen understand that the bergamot fruit is added with a plurality of traditional Chinese medicinal materials and processed into a medicated food homologous preserved fruit product, the product has the advantages of bright and black color and soft state like paste, has the effects of removing food retention, dispelling wind, stimulating appetite, regulating qi, reducing phlegm, promoting the production of body fluid and the like, and can treat diseases such as stomachache, abdominal distension, vomiting, excessive phlegm and cough and the like; in addition, fresh bergamot fruits are sliced and dried to be used as excellent medicinal materials.
In the production process of preserved fruits, drying is an important process, and aims to remove water in semi-finished products after curing so as to facilitate further deep processing, transportation, storage and use. At present, most production producers still use the traditional open-air natural drying method when the fingered citron preserved fruits are dried, although the method is more convenient to use and has no energy consumption, the method has no facilities for preventing rats, flies, insects, foreign matters and the like, the products are easily polluted, the occupied land is large, the labor intensity of workers is high, and the like. In addition, the open air drying method is generally small in scale and low in efficiency, and the industry is difficult to be greatly improved. At present, some manufacturers use a drying method to dry agricultural and sideline products such as preserved fruits, wherein steam or electric energy is used as a heat source to dry in a sealed space, but the method consumes a large amount of energy, has high operation cost, can generate a large amount of combustion emissions, and is not in accordance with the modern green production concept. The solar air heat collector has high air heating efficiency, but has the defects of small capacity, poor heat insulation performance, incapability of producing in rainy days and at night, and high labor intensity of workers; the water tank is used for supplying heat at night in a solar energy storage mode, but the heat conversion efficiency is low, and the hot air drying temperature is not ideal.
In the mode of utilizing solar energy to generate hot air, the air heat collector has high heat efficiency and high heating speed, so the application is wide, but the solar energy irradiation has intermittence, even in the sunny day, the solar energy irradiation changes in one day, sometimes, even if clouds cover the day, the temperature of the hot air is reduced, and the mode is suitable for the general fruit-cooling drying with wider hot air temperature range and no specific requirement on drying time. The liquid heat collector generally uses water as a heating medium, the temperature of hot air is relatively stable, but the heat conversion efficiency is low, and the hot air drying temperature is not ideal. The heat conducting oil has the advantages of uniform heating, accurate temperature adjustment and control, capability of quickly generating high temperature under low pressure, good heat transfer effect and capability of being used as a good energy storage and heat dissipation medium.
The bergamot fruit has high heat sensitivity due to the medicinal components and rich nutrient substances, and has high requirement on the hot air temperature stability in industrial continuous production, and the special aromatic smell of the bergamot fruit is reserved as much as possible in the hot air drying process. The drying specification of the fingered citron comprises four types of pickled whole melons, strips, blocks and fresh fruit sheets, the types, sizes, heating areas and final moisture contents of the fingered citron fruits are different, and the drying conditions are different for loading capacity, temperature, humidity, wind speed and conveying belt speed, for example, whole melons treated by pinholes need to be slowly dried by hot air at a slightly lower temperature, and the blocks need to be quickly dried at a higher temperature; the whole melon and the flaky melon do not need atomization treatment, but the strip-shaped melon and the block-shaped melon need glycerin atomization for moisturizing; in addition, the rear section in the sealed tunnel is dried, and the hot air humidity is not too dry, so that the quality of the fingered citron preserved fruit is not damaged.
In order to solve the technical problems in the process of drying the bergamot fruits, the prior art and equipment need to be improved, a PLC full-automatic control system is researched, hot air with stable temperature is provided, the requirement for high-quality drying equipment and method of the bergamot fruits with various specifications is met, energy is saved, efficiency is high, and sanitary, safe and automatic production is realized.
