Abstract: The present invention relates to a molecular press dehydrating agents for vegetative tissues comprising starch hydrolysates or their derivatives. Preferably, the starch hydrolysates of the present invention may be maltodextrin specifically, and the derivatives of starch hydrolysates may be a modified starch, main component of which is starch sodium octenyl succinate. The molecular press dehydrating agents of the present invention may comprise sodium caseinate of low molecular weight additionally. The molecular press dehydrating agents of the present invention can cause cytorrhysis phenomenon and dehydrate plant tissues by mixing them together. While the molecular press dehydrating agents of the present invention show superior dehydration and drying effect in a similar level to existing dehydrating agents, there are no limitations for food use in legal, social and economical aspect, and it can be supplied in large quantities.

Abstract: The present method is related to a molecular press dehydration method of vegetative tissues using water-soluble polymers in solid-phase as dehydrating agents. The molecular press dehydration method of the present invention is characterized by that dehydration is done by induction of cytorrhysis to vegetative tissues mixed with water-soluble polymers such as PEG, gum arabic, arabinogalactan, egg albumin, milk protein, soybean protein, etc. in its solid-phase. Compared to the conventional dehydration methods, the present method enables to obtain much greater dehydration effects in the amount and the rate, even though a very small amount of polymer substance is used; and the method enables to obtain excellent quality of dehydrated tissues as well as dehydrated exudates; and is environmentally friendly under favor of reduced energy consumption.
