Processed peach food and method for producing peach processed food

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a processed peach food that can soften up to the inner skin while preventing the mesocarp from collapsing in a short time, can also adjust the hardness of the whole fruit, and can easily peel the outer skin. A production method and a processed peach food using the same are provided. A peach fruit before the hard nucleus period is frozen (freezing step; step 110). This destroys the cells of the endocarp. Next, the frozen fruit is immersed in an alkaline aqueous solution heated to 70 ° C. or more and less than the boiling point, and only the surface of the fruit is thawed to peel the outer skin (outer skin peeling step; step 120). Subsequently, the fruit is heated to adjust the hardness of the whole fruit (heating step; step 150). [Selection] Figure 2
