Abstract: The present invention is a pretreatment agent for a fish food which comprises, in a mixture, 1–30% (v/v) of ethanol, 5–25% (w/v) of citrate and 0.5–50% (w/v) of at least one inorganic salt selected from the group consisting of phosphate, carbonate and bicarbonate, and a process for pretreating a fish food which comprises contacting the pretreatment agent with the fish food.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there are provided a pretreatment agent for a fish food which is able to inhibit lowering of the yield caused by heating and cooking the frozen food and which is able to keep a good palate feeling without affecting palate feeling and taste and accompanying unnatural feeling and taste, and a process for pretreating fish food using said pretreatment agent. The present invention is a pretreatment agent for a fish food which comprises mixed an aqueous solution containing 1-30% (v/v) of ethanol and 5-25% (w/v) of citrate with 0.5-50% (w/v) of at least one mineral acid salt selected from the group consisting of phosphate, carbonate and bicarbonate, and a process for pretreating a fish food which comprises contacting said pretreatment agent with the fish food.

Abstract: A production method of Chinese fried meat dumplings includes loading meat dumplings on a conveyer, steaming the meat dumplings on the conveyer, and frying the meat dumplings by increasing a temperature of the conveyer from 50° C. to 200-280° C. in 1-8 minutes as the conveyer moves the meat dumplings toward downstream.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there may be provided a heat-treated food which has been wrapped in a pastry of wheat flour dough for cooking in a microwave oven and which is capable of reproducing the so-called crispy feeling as well as favorable flavor and taste just cooked, said heat-treated food tending to migrate water to the heat-treated surface from the inside ingredients during its distribution and storage terms.

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.

Abstract: There is provided a method for producing a frozen fried food for a microwave cooking comprising the step of a freezing of, particularly a very quick freezing (immediate quick freezing) of a deep-fat fried food, more particularly immediately after the oil-cooking thereof, at a moving speed of the freezing front exceeding 20 cm/h. A frozen product of deep-fat fried food capable of re-exhibiting a favorable crispness of a breading even after heating the frozen food by a microwave oven, and also capable of maintaining such favorable eating quality even after a prolonged storage thereof in a domestic freezer can be produced.
