Imitation shark's fin and a method of manufacturing the same

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem wherein although the manufacture of imitation shark fin has been sometimes tried before because of the context where the shark fin has good texture, and is delicious and in demand, those imitations are all made according to the appearance and the texture, and especially for food imitations, while the appearance, seasoning and texture are also important requirements, it is the component constitution of the imitation which should be essentially the main object of imitation.;SOLUTION: A method of manufacturing an imitation shark fin includes steps of: adding cartilage powder of sharks and material for adjusting the physical properties which have the substantially same components as a fin line of a shark fin to sodium alginate powder; stirring and mixing the same; then making the mixture into a paste using water as a solvent; forming the paste like a shark fin by applying a squeezing bag with a nozzle, a form and various kinds of noodle making machines (devices); dipping the formed paste in calcium chloride solution with a concentration of 5% to gel the sodium alginate, which is originally water-soluble, still including cartilage powder and the others as calcium alginate salt which resists water-solubility; using the resultant material as raw material of imitation shark fin; and shaping and drying the material to be commercialized as an imitation shark fin. The imitation shark fin contains all of principal components contained in the natural shark fin.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
