  • Patent number: 6096367
    Abstract: A process for producing materials for fish paste products which comprises the step 1 of milling a frozen ground fish meat to thereby give a frozen ground fish meat in the form of fine particles, thawing a frozen ground fish meat under milling to thereby give a thawed ground fish meat in the form of fine particles, or thawing a frozen ground fish meat and then cutting it to thereby give a thawed ground fish meat, and the step 2 of mixing under stirring the ground fish meat obtained in the step 1 with the use of a stirring means.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 10, 1999
    Date of Patent: August 1, 2000
    Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kibun Shokuhin
    Inventors: Masahito Hoashi, Hiromi Suzuki, Noboru Katoh, Kikuo Tashima, Koji Masuda, Susumu Tokushige
  • Patent number: 5958501
    Abstract: Disclosure is made of a process for producing materials for fish paste products which comprises the step 1 of milling a frozen ground fish meat to thereby give a frozen ground fish meat in the form of fine particles having a diameter of 1 mm or less, thawing a frozen ground fish meat under milling to thereby give a thawed ground fish meat in the form of fine particles, or thawing a frozen ground fish meat and then cutting it to thereby give a thawed ground fish meat, and the step 2 of mixing under stirring the ground fish meat obtained in the step 1 with the use of a stirring means, provided that a cake mixer is employed as the stirring means, when a frozen ground fish meat is thawed to give thawed ground fish meat in the step 1. Use of this process makes it possible to efficiently provide materials ensuring the production of fish paste products with good qualities, e.g. improved gel strength.

  • Patent number: 4950494
    Abstract: A process for producing a fish-paste product comprising continuously charging a starting material based on a minced fish flesh (surimi) into a stirring/mixing machine to shear the starting material, forming the minced flesh extruded from the stirring/mixing machine into a specific shape, and then heating the formed minced flesh. A fish-paste product having excellent gel strength can be produced by this process.

  • Patent number: 4370686
    Abstract: A driving mechanism for a tape recorder having a magnetic head and pinch roller having a first solenoid actuated plunger, said magnetic head and pinch roller being movable into and out of an actuating position by a lever associated with said first plunger, compact second and third solenoid actuated plungers forming operational modes of quick feeding and rewinding, a slider plate movable in opposite directions by said second and third plungers, a transmission mechanism connecting a drive source respectively with a supply reel and a take-up in the operation of said second and third plungers, a locking mechanism retaining a sliding position of said slider by operation of said first plunger and a lost motion mechanism adapted to inhibit the operation of said pinch roller at least in the operation of said second and third plungers, can form the operational modes of quick feeding and rewinding of the magnetic tape only by the use for triggering the operation of said compact plungers instead of larger ones to reduce

  • Patent number: 4303685
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of separating meat from fish while immersed in water or an aqueous solution of alkaline salts, saccharide and/or amino acids. Hitherto the fish meat has been separated from fish in air, so that the freshness of meat has rapidly deteriorated, but the present invention can prevent such a drawback. When the boiled fish paste is produced by use of fish meat which has been prevented from the deterioration of freshness, it is possible to obtain a boiled fish paste of a higher gel strength, in other words, one of a higher quality having good mouth feel.
