Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a microwave processing method for food made of flour and rice fermented with sourdough and belongs to the technical field of food processing. It comprises: adding a sourdough to the raw material to prepare a steamed cake batter; fermenting the batter under the dielectric constant of 20˜34, the loss factor of 6.3˜9.0, the moisture content of 45˜55% and the water activity of 0.920˜0.980; and using microwave heating to obtain the microwave-steamed cake. Due to the regulating effect of the sourdough fermentation on the dielectric properties of the food material, it solves the problems of hard core, textual firmness and toughness, dryness and weak flavor caused by fast and uneven microwave heating without adding food additives; meanwhile, the sourdough fermentation process is optimized and the DY and additive amount of the sourdough are controlled to obtain the microwave-steamed cake with larger specific volume, lower hardness, more fine and uniform pores and better taste.

Abstract: A frozen stuffed fish ball with low soup loss and the method of preparing the same. By combining hydrocolloid and oil pre-emulsification technology, the problems of taste of powder, soup loss of fish balls after freeze-thaw cooking and the taste of frozen stuffed fish balls after freeze-thaw cooking are solved. The use of konjac gum and carrageenan or curdlan respectively, combined with oil pre-emulsification technology, also effectively improves the texture and brightness of the outer skin of fish balls. Compared with a single addition of conventional technology, the hardness, elasticity and brightness are increased, solving loosen structure, brightness and other problems due to freeze-thaw cycle. Further, it may be used in the fish ball processing line for preparing fish ball with fillings and other stuffed surimi products.

Abstract: Disclosed are 3D printing equipment, a system, and a method for food design and production. The 3D printing equipment has a bipolar microwave heating antenna for focusing heating on a material in an extrusion nozzle. The extrusion nozzle is between the anode antenna and the cathode antenna of the bipolar microwave heating antenna. The anode antenna and the cathode antenna limit a microwave electric field between them, thereby implementing focused heating on the material.

Abstract: Disclosed are 3D printing equipment, a system, and a method for food design and production, belonging to the field of food technologies. A bipolar microwave heating antenna is disposed, to implement focused heating on a material in an extrusion nozzle. In addition, the bipolar microwave heating antenna breaks through a traditional multi-mode cavity heating method, thereby greatly reducing a volume of a heating cavity and facilitating integration with a desktop 3D printer. A microwave switch is controlled by using an extrusion instruction to achieve synchronization between extrusion and heating, and improve heating uniformity. Through joint operations of a 3D scanner, slicing software, and a 3D printer, processes of model making, slicing, and 3D printing are integrated.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a microwave and conduction combined heating method for improving the gel strength of surimi products, belonging to the technical field of food processing. According to the present invention, surimi is first fully gelatinized by conduction heating, and then heated by microwave heating so that surimi gel can pass through a gel cracking zone quickly. This kind of microwave and conduction combined heating way can not only increase the gel strength of the surimi to achieve the desired elasticity, but also can save a lot of time and improve the production efficiency. Compared with ordinary microwave heating, the microwave and conduction combined heating method of the conduction and microwave heat preservation, i.e.
