KONJAC GRANULE PREPARATION METHOD AND USE THEREOF IN MEAL REPLACEMENT POWDER

摘要

Konjac granule preparation method and use thereof in a meal replacement powder, the method comprising: pulverizing an existing konjac powder through spin mixing, adding water, mixing evenly, swelling, drying, crushing, and sieving to obtain konjac granules. Upon dissolving the obtained konjac granules, the swelling time to achieve the same viscosity as an existing konjac powder is at least three times as long thereas. The dissolving is uniform and without clumping, and upon eating there is no stickiness. The invention markedly improves texture, solving the problems of an existing konjac powder having a short swelling time, readily clumping when dissolved, not facilitating preparation and having a poor texture. The konjac granules are used as a raw material, raw materials such as food ingredients and food additives are added there to and mixed therewith, followed by sterilization and packaging to produce a nutritionally balanced konjac meal replacement powder.
