  • Publication number: 20050184061
    Abstract: A heating apparatus includes a steel belt conveyer having a steel belt with a top part that transports and heats, and induction heating coils having an elliptical or a rectangular shape disposed under or over the top part of the steel belt such that the longitudinal direction of each of the induction heating coils forms an angle of 45° to 135° inclusive with the moving direction of the steel belt. A heating stabilization device can be used in such an apparatus. The heating stabilization device has one or a plurality of rollers that are brought into contact with the top surface of the top part of the steel belt so that the top part of the steel belt is prevented from rising during a heating operation.

  • Patent number: 6491957
    Abstract: Chinese snacks having a proteinic adhesive layer with which transglutaminase has reacted, formed between the filling and the dumpling skin thereof are disclosed, and uncooked Chinese snacks half-made in such that a proteinic adhesive layer can be formed between the filling and the dumpling skin thereof by the action of transglutaminase, as well as such Chinese snacks in the frozen form (frozen foods), which undergo a less change in eating texture and have a fresh texture maintained both at the skin portion and filling even for many hours after cooking, after thawing, or the like.
