US-A-4946693 (Risler et al.) décrit un produit alimentaire constitué d'une masse déshydratée sous forme de poudre ou de paillettes de lait, graisses, amidon gélatinisé, extraits de viande et légumes ou hydrolysats de protéines, par exemple, et d'une garniture de morceaux de pâtes, viande ou légumes partiellement déshydratés, par exemple, cette garniture étant conditionnée séparément .US-A-4946693 (Risler et al.) Describes a food product consisting of a dehydrated mass in the form of powder or flakes of milk, fats, gelatinized starch, extracts of meat and vegetables or protein hydrolysates, for example, and a garnish of pieces of partially dehydrated pasta, meat or vegetables, for example, this garnish being packaged separately.
La présente invention a pour but de proposer un aide culinaire sous une forme individuelle attractive présentant dans sa masse des morceaux visuellement identifiables de légumes, viande ou autre garniture, de la matière grasse et des ingrédients sapides pulvérulents, par exemple.The present invention aims to provide a culinary aid in an attractive individual form having in its mass visually identifiable pieces of vegetables, meat or other garnish, fat and powdery powdery ingredients, for example.
A cet effet, l'aide culinaire selon la présente invention présente la forme d'un rocher et comprend 8-50% en poids d'éléments visuels tenus dans un ciment constitué de 15-35! de matière grasse et 20-70% de base déshydratée. De même, le procédé de préparation d'un aide culinaire selon la présente invention comprend les étapes successives de mélange des éléments visuels avec la matière grasse fondue et la base déshydratée, formage du mélange obtenu et refroidissement .To this end, the cooking aid according to the present invention has the shape of a rock and comprises 8-50% by weight of visual elements held in a cement consisting of 15-35 ! fat and 20-70% dehydrated base. Likewise, the process for preparing a culinary aid according to the present invention comprises the successive stages of mixing the visual elements with the melted fat and the dehydrated base, forming the mixture obtained and cooling.
Enfin, l'installation pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé de préparation d'un aide culinaire selon la présente invention comprend un dispositif de mélange des éléments visuels avec la matière grasse fondue et la base déshydratée, un dispositif de formage du mélange obtenu dans des alvéoles comportant des moyens d'éjection, et un dispositif de refroidissement .Finally, the installation for implementing the process for preparing a culinary aid according to the present invention comprises a device for mixing the visual elements with the melted fat and the dehydrated base, a device for forming the mixture obtained in cells comprising ejection means, and a cooling device.
L'aide culinaire selon la présente invention présente effectivement tous les ingrédients désirés dans un seul et même rocher d'aspect attrayant en raison des morceaux identifiables dans sa masse.The culinary aid according to the present invention effectively presents all the desired ingredients in one and the same rock of attractive appearance because of the identifiable pieces in its mass.
Le procédé et l'installation selon la présente invention permettent de préparer cet aide culinaire d'une manière simple et en un nombre limité d'étapes.The method and the installation according to the present invention make it possible to prepare this culinary aid in a simple manner and in a limited number of steps.
Dans le présent exposé, l'expression "en forme de rocher" est à comprendre comme présentant une forme de rocher ou palet individuel de relativement petite taille et de surface irrégulière quant à son aspect physique et sa couleur .In the present description, the expression "in the shape of a rock" is to be understood as having a shape of an individual rock or puck of relatively small size and of irregular surface as regards its physical appearance and its color.
L'expression "éléments visuels" est à comprendre comme éléments dont la taille est suffisamment grande et la couleur suffisamment contrastée par rapport à celle du ciment pour être distingués à l'oeil nu.The expression "visual elements" is to be understood as elements whose size is sufficiently large and the color sufficiently contrasted with that of the cement to be distinguished with the naked eye.
Le terme "ciment" est à comprendre comme une masse de texture et de couleur homogènes capable d'assurer la cohésion de l'aide culinaire malgré sa forte teneur en éléments visuels.The term "cement" should be understood as a mass of homogeneous texture and color capable of ensuring the cohesion of the culinary aid despite its high content of visual elements.
Dans l'aide culinaire selon la présente invention, les éléments visuels peuvent être des morceaux déshydratés de tout produit alimentaire pouvant entrer en considération comme garniture .In the culinary aid according to the present invention, the visual elements can be dehydrated pieces of any food product which can be considered as a garnish.
Ces éléments visuels peuvent être en particulier des morceaux d'un ou plusieurs légumes, fruits, herbes aromatiques, viandes, poissons et/ou crustacés, des épices et/ou des graines entières ou concassées, par exemple.These visual elements can in particular be pieces of one or more vegetables, fruits, aromatic herbs, meats, fish and / or crustaceans, spices and / or whole or crushed seeds, for example.
La matière grasse peut comprendre au moins une graisse végétale et/ou une graisse animale, hydrogénée ou non et additionnée ou non d'un agent antioxydant.The fatty material can comprise at least one vegetable fat and / or one animal fat, hydrogenated or not and added or not with an antioxidant agent.
Cette matière grasse présente de préférence une nature ou une composition telle qu'elle soit figée à température ambiante, autrement dit à une température comprise entre environ 20 et 30 °C, par exemple. Une graisse de palme hydrogénée qui présente un point de limpidité d'environ 41- 43 °C convient particulièrement bien à cet égard.This fatty material preferably has a nature or a composition such that it is frozen at room temperature, in other words at a temperature of between approximately 20 and 30 ° C., for example. Hydrogenated palm fat which has a clear point of about 41-43 ° C is particularly suitable in this regard.
La base déshydratée peut comprendre des matières alimentaires sous forme finement subdivisée choisies en fonction de leur aptitude à conférer à l'aide culinaire une sapidité ou une texture adéquate, par exemple.The dehydrated base can comprise food materials in finely subdivided form chosen as a function of their ability to give the culinary aid an adequate palatability or texture, for example.
Cette base déshydratée peut comprendre en particulier des agents aromatisants tels que sucres, sels, épices, extraits de fruits, légumes ou viandes, hydrolysats de protéines, autolysats de levure, produits de la réaction de Maillard ou molécules aromatiques, des agents exhausteurs de goût tels que des 5 ' -nucléotides ou du glutamate, et/ou des agents liants tels que des amidons, maltodextrines, gommes ou alginates, par exemple.This dehydrated base can in particular include flavoring agents such as sugars, salts, spices, fruit, vegetable or meat extracts, protein hydrolysates, yeast autolysates, Maillard reaction products or aromatic molecules, flavor enhancers such as only 5 '-nucleotides or glutamate, and / or binding agents such as starches, maltodextrins, gums or alginates, for example.
Pour mettre en oeuvre le procédé de préparation d'un aide culinaire selon la présente invention, on peut ajouter la base déshydratée à la matière grasse fondue, mélanger et ajouter les éléments visuels en fin de mélange, par exemple. La température de la graisse fondue peut être d'environ 50-70°C, par exemple.To implement the process for preparing a culinary aid according to the present invention, it is possible to add the dehydrated base to the melted fat, mix and add the visual elements at the end of mixing, for example. The temperature of the melted fat can be around 50-70 ° C, for example.
On peut verser le mélange dans des alvéoles de formage, notamment par l'intermédiaire d'une trémie, éjecter les rochers formés des alvéoles, les recevoir sur une surface refroidie et stabiliser leur forme dans un dispositif de refroidissement, par exemple.The mixture can be poured into forming cells, in particular through a hopper, eject the rocks formed from the cells, receive them on a cooled surface and stabilize their shape in a cooling device, for example.
On ajuste de préférence la température du mélange des éléments visuels avec la matière grasse fondue et la base déshydratée à une valeur telle qu' il présente des propriétés d'écoulement adéquates pour remplir les alvéoles, sans être ni trop mou ni trop sableux. Une température d'environ 40-48°C peut être recommandée à cet égard.The temperature of the mixture of the visual elements with the melted fat and the dehydrated base is preferably adjusted to a value such that it has adequate flow properties to fill the cells, without being too soft or too sandy. A temperature of around 40-48 ° C can be recommended in this regard.
On a constaté en effet que l'on risque d'obtenir un produit de texture trop sableuse qui a tendance à s'effriter en sortie des alvéoles, ainsi qu'un mauvais remplissage des alvéoles qui entraîne une hétérogénéité de poids des rochers, si l'on ajuste la température du mélange à une température inférieure à environ 40 °C, par exemple.It has in fact been observed that there is a risk of obtaining a product of too sandy texture which tends to crumble at the outlet of the cells, as well as poor filling of the cells which results in heterogeneity in the weight of the rocks, if the the temperature of the mixture is adjusted to a temperature below about 40 ° C., for example.
De même, on risque d'obtenir un produit de consistance trop molle qui s'affaisse complètement sur la surface de réception si l'on ajuste la température du mélange à une température supérieure à environ 48°C, par exemple. On peut recevoir les rochers éjectés sur une surface, notamment la surface d'une bande de transport, refroidie à une température comprise entre 5 et 10 °C, par exemple. On peut ensuite stabiliser leur forme dans un dispositif de refroidissement réalisé sous forme d'un tunnel de refroidissement traversé par la bande de transport dans lequel on fait circuler de l'air à 5-10°C, par exemple.Likewise, there is a risk of obtaining a product of too soft consistency which completely collapses on the receiving surface if the temperature of the mixture is adjusted to a temperature above about 48 ° C., for example. We can receive the rocks ejected on a surface, in particular the surface of a conveyor belt, cooled to a temperature between 5 and 10 ° C, for example. We can then stabilize their shape in a cooling device made in the form of a cooling tunnel through which the conveyor belt in which air is circulated at 5-10 ° C, for example.
