  • Patent number: 11716998
    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.

  • Publication number: 20190142044
    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.
