Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily obtain a granular food formable to granules without restriction on the kind of raw material, at a low cost, by uniformly dispersing an oil and an oil-soluble substance in an aqueous solution of a vehicle and dropping the dispersed liquid into liquid nitrogen, liquid air or liquid carbon dioxide. CONSTITUTION:An oil and/or an oil-soluble substance (e.g., rapeseed oil or vitamin A) are uniformly dissolved in an aqueous solution of an excipient (e.g., sodium caseinate) and the dispersed liquid is dropped through a nozzle into liquid nitrogen, liquid air or liquid carbon dioxide maintained at an ultra-low temperature to obtain a granular food useful for improving the taste and flavor of an instant food, etc., and increasing the variety of foods.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for producing a granular food product in which oil and/or an oil-soluble substance is granulated together with an excipient substance. When the granular food of the present invention is used in instant foods, frozen desserts, dessert foods, etc., it becomes possible to enhance the flavor and increase the variety of foods.

Capsules containing especially niceratin as a coating material are widely used mainly in the pharmaceutical field. In gelatin capsules,
There are two types of capsules: hard capsules and soft capsules.Hard capsules are almost limited to use in the pharmaceutical field, but soft capsules are often used in food applications, and examples of their use in health foods such as vitamin E and lecithin are also well known. As methods for manufacturing soft capsules, the punching method and the two-drop method have been put into practical use. The capsule coating agent contains not only gelatin, but also glycerin to keep the capsule soft, and other coloring agents, preservatives, and flavoring agents.

On the other hand, in the dripping method, liquid core material flows out from the inner nozzle of a double nozzle, and coating liquid flows out from the outer nozzle at a constant speed.
This is a method in which the two-layered liquid stream is cut at regular intervals to form droplets, and then the outer coating layer is cured. Curing of the film layer is usually carried out by dropping or spraying droplets into a curing liquid, and edible oils and fats kept at low temperatures can be used as the curing liquid. This method has advantages over the punching method, such as not only making the film layer thinner, but also making it possible to make smaller capsules.

Soft capsules made by punching are widely used in the pharmaceutical and health food fields, but they have the following problems. In other words, it is difficult to make a film with a thick film that dissolves in a short time. In addition, there are size limitations, such as the fact that it is usually not possible to make products with a size of 5 mm or less, that high melting point substances cannot be encapsulated, and that productivity losses such as gelatin film loss and content loss are large. Because of this, it looks good.

Compared to the punching method, the soft capsules made by the dropping method are
It is also possible to make smaller capsules, making it possible to create beautiful spherical capsules. However, if the viscosity of the core liquid is too high, it will not be possible to encapsulate it properly, and the price will be high, and food applications will be limited to special products. Furthermore, when alginate is used as a coating material, the drying method is difficult and the coating is water-insoluble, which limits its use in instant foods and the like.

In view of the above, in order for soft capsules to be actually used in many applications, an inexpensive manufacturing method with a wide range of selection of coating materials and core materials is required.
