JPH025831A - Nonfried and frozen food - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain nonfried and frozen food capable of providing a fried food in a crispy state by using specific powdery fats and oils. CONSTITUTION:Powdery fats and oils containing 95-100% soybean oil, palm oil, corn oil, sesame oil, lard, beef tallow, fish oil, hardened oils thereof alone or a mixture thereof having <=50 deg.C melting point are used as edible fats and oils to obtain a frozen food, such as fry, croquette or fried food without coating, edible without heating in an oil. The above-mentioned powdery fats and oils are mixed with wheat flour or bread crumb and applied to ingredients. Alternatively, the ingredients coated with bread crumb are then smeared with the powdery fats and oils, etc., to produce the frozen food. The resultant frozen food can be heated in a microwave oven or oven etc., to provide a food fried in a crispy state.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to non-fried frozen foods, and more particularly to frozen foods such as fries, croquettes, and air-fried foods obtained using powdered edible fats and oils.

These frozen foods can be eaten in the same way as fried foods by heating them in a microwave or oven without frying them.

(Conventional technology) Recently, Japanese eating habits have become more Westernized, and as women have more opportunities to work outside the home, they are spending less time preparing meals, and are now using frozen foods, semi-cooked foods, and retort pouch foods. has been increasingly used. Among these frozen foods, there are many foods that are heated and fried in oil, such as fried foods, croquettes, and air-fried foods. However, when cooking food with oil, it takes time to heat the oil, the oil scatters during cooking and makes a mess around the kitchen counter, and it takes time and effort to clean up the oil after cooking. Not liked. In addition, burns caused by high-temperature oil during cooking and fires caused by heated oil are also on the rise.

From the above perspective, research is being conducted on frozen foods that can be eaten without heating with oil.

Usually, fries, cutlets, and croquettes are made by coating the seeds or dough with a thin layer of flour, then beating it into a beaten chicken egg (called a batter), sprinkled with bread crumbs, and heated in a ladle of oil at 200°C for a short time. It is then fried until crispy. In order to eliminate this step of frying, we investigated whether it would be possible to use powdered oil and heat it in a microwave or microwave oven to create a deep-fried state using the oil that dissolves from the powdered oil. Possible ways to use this powdered oil for frozen frying include: ■ Mixing it with flour and applying it to the seeds, ■ Mixing it with breadcrumbs and applying it to the seeds, and ■ Sprinkling the powdered oil after adding the breadcrumbs. It will be done.

On the other hand, patents have been issued for fried chicken mix powder for microwave ovens, in which roasted bread crumbs, wheat flour, high protein substances, seasonings, and spices are mixed in powdered oil and fat in advance (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-129660, JP-A No. 59-82062). There is a patent application (Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-54458) for powdered oil and fat for non-fried and non-fried foods, but the oil and fat content of these products is less than 80%, and fried foods in the state of cauliflower and soup cannot be obtained.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) An object of the present invention is to provide a non-fried frozen food that allows fried food to be prepared in a crispy, crispy state.

<Means for solving problem i) According to the present invention 1, the melting point is 50°C or less, and the edible oil R is 195 to 100%.
It relates to a 7-7-rai frozen food obtained using powdered oil and fat containing.

In the present invention, trial production of powdered oils and fats with various oil and fat contents was carried out 1)! However, based on the state during heating and the tasting results, those with a score of 95% or higher, especially 99% or higher, were good. The oil used in the powdered oil may be vegetable oil such as soybean oil, palm oil, corn oil or sesame oil, animal fat such as beef tallow, fish oil, etc. alone or in combination. In addition, the melting point of the powdered fat (melting point of extracted oil) is that it melts when heated in a microwave or oven, but the texture when eating and the melting in the mouth are preferably 50°C or less due to conjugation, etc., and it is particularly sensitive to body temperature. Powdered oil at close to 20-40'C 11
11 is desirable.

The non-fried chilled food of the present invention can be produced by any known method except for using the above-mentioned specific powdered fat or oil.

(Example) Examples and comparative examples will be described below.

Examples and Comparative Examples After applying a thin layer of flour to the croquette dough, the dough is placed in beaten raw eggs and the egg is applied to the surface. Next, the croquette dough is thoroughly coated with breadcrumbs prepared by mixing 50% of powdered oil and fat having the melting point and oil content listed in Table 1, and then frozen. When this frozen croquette was heated in a microwave oven for 2 to 3 minutes and then tasted, the following results were obtained.

Table 1×During heating, the fats and oils in the powdered fats and oils are not sufficiently eluted and the product does not become fried.

∆During heating, the oil in the powdered oil dissolves and becomes like fried food, but because the melting point of the oil is high, the oil solidifies in the mouth and becomes sticky.

○During heating, the oil in the powdered oil dissolves and becomes fried-like and delicious as crunchy meat.
