PREPARATION OF PICKED FOOD HAVING EXCELLENT COLOR, TEXTURE AND TASTE BY MIXING RECONSTITUTION LIQUID WITH PLANT SOLIDS HAVING EFFECTS OF SIMPLY RECONSTITUTING SMALL AMOUNT OF PICKLED FOOD WHENEVER NEEDED

摘要

PURPOSE: A method of making a composite-type picked food by mixing reconstitution liquid prepared by a dehydrating method under molecular compression, with dried product of plant solids is provided. It is simple to manufacture and can simply reconstitute a small amount of pickled food whenever needed and freely select dried products and reconstitution liquid. The picked food has excellent color, texture and taste. CONSTITUTION: The pickled food is prepared by the following process consisting of: mixing an aqueous polymer material having a molecular size of 3.5nm or more with plant tissue; dehydrating the plant tissue; separating the dehydrated plant tissue from the extract; removing the aqueous polymer material; drying the dehydrated plant tissue; and mixing the dehydrated tissue with reconstitution liquid. The aqueous polymer material is one or more selected from polyethylene glycol, gum Arabic, arabinogalactan, egg whites, milk protein, soybean protein, starch hydrolysates and its derivatives. The reconstituting liquid is prepared by mixing two or more liquids containing: water; fermented liquid in a concentrated state or dried state prepared by fermentation of soup of traditional foods prepared by a traditional picked food production method, or pulverized material of plant tissue used as material for pickled food, dewatered liquid and an extract; seasoning liquid in a concentrated state or dried state prepared by using various spices; a combination of two or more liquids.
