APPLICATION OF FIBROUS SHEET TO FROZEN FOOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply carry out the application of a sheet in order to prevent the texture of oven bread (eaten by reheating in a microwave oven) from deteriorating by coating a cut sheet with water or an aqueous solution of an edible tacky material and making the sheet stick to a taken in frozen food such as frozen bread. SOLUTION: A fibrous sheet 1 cut with a rotary cutter 2 is coated with water or an edible tacky material (starch, gelatin, etc.) with a coating device 3, sucked with a vacuum drum 4 and turned upside down and the sheet 1 is further applied to a frozen food (conveyed in a state of the bread bottom upside in the case of the frozen bread 6). The applied sheet 1 is preferably pressed with a pressing belt 7 to complete the freezing with a liquid nitrogen freezing device 8, etc.
