Patent number: 7306820Abstract: Disclosure is made of a method for thawing frozen ground fish meats which comprises almost uniformly milling a frozen ground fish meat mass and then thawing it by elevating temperature. Disclosure is further made of a process for producing materials for fish paste products which involves the step of mixing under stirring the ground fish meat thus thawed together with additives with the use of a pin mixer. Disclosure is furthermore made of a process for producing kamaboko which comprises molding the material for fish paste products thus obtained, passing electric current therethrough, thus heating the molded products due to the electrical resistance within the same, subjecting the products to suwari gelation by heating for a definite time and then further heating the same. The method of the present invention is widely usable in the industrial fields with the use of frozen ground fish meats.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1996Date of Patent: December 11, 2007Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kibun ShokuhinInventors: Masahito Hoashi, Hisashi Nozaki, Kikuo Tashima, Yuji Sakayori

Patent number: 4685877Abstract: A food extruding apparatus including a food receiving member having a through-hole receiving a food or a food material which is to be extruded and an extruding means inserted into the through-hole from one end thereof and moved toward the other end, thereby extruding the food or food material from the through-hole, the extruding means being constituted by outer and inner extruding members. After an extruding operation, these extruding members are not pulled back simultaneously, but the outer extruding member is first pulled back slowly, and then the inner extruding member is raised. There is therefore no fear of any vacuum being produced between the upper surface of a food or a food material and the extruding member when pulled back. Accordingly, it is possible to carry out a food extruding operation smoothly and properly.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1986Date of Patent: August 11, 1987Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha KibunInventor: Masaru Harada

Patent number: 4612201Abstract: By heating a kneaded marine paste product with superheated steam in a heating chamber under the conditions that:(A) the superheated steam is blown as the heating source into the heating chamber;(B) the paste product is prevented from being contacted directly by the superheated steam being blown in its initial blown direction into the chamber; and(C) the temperature of the gas phase in the vicinity of the paste product is controlled at less than 100.degree. C.,to coagulate the proteins of the paste product, a paste product without adhesion thereto of water droplets can be obtained, and the drying time after the heat treatment and the energy required for drying can be greatly reduced.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 1985Date of Patent: September 16, 1986Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha KibunInventors: Tutomu Maruyama, Norikazu Nakagawa, Tsuyoshi Hosokawa, Yuji Sakayori, Shigeru Tanaka, Yoshiya Oomatsu
