PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for removing an outer coat from a fruit with the outer coat, and preparing the outer coat and pulp separately in a simple and hygienic manner.SOLUTION: A method for preparing a processed fruit product comprises the following steps: (1) a step of heating a fruit with an outer coat under the presence of water to rupture the outer coat (2) a step of removing the outer coat from the fruit with the ruptured outer coat obtained in the above step 1 (3) a step of immersing the outer coat and the outer coat-removed fruit obtained in the above step 2 in a high-density fluid, and separating them using the specific gravity differences between the outer coat, the outer coat-removed fruit, and the high-density fluid and (4) a step of recovering at least one of a sediment and a floating matter in the high-density fluid as a processed fruit product.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡便または衛生的な方法で、外皮付き果実から外皮を剥離し、外皮と果肉とに分別調製する方法を提供する。【解決手段】下記の工程を有する果実加工物の調製方法:(1)外皮付き果実を水存在下で加熱して、外皮を破裂させる工程(2)上記(1)工程で得られた破裂外皮を有する果実から外皮を剥離する工程(3)上記(2)工程で得られた外皮及び外皮剥離果実を高密度液に浸漬し、外皮、外皮剥離果実及び高密度液の比重差を利用して両者を分離する工程、及び(4)高密度液中の沈降物及び浮遊物の少なくとも一方を、果実加工物として回収する工程。【選択図】なし
