PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seaweed food easy to eat, produced from ingredients obtained from seaweed, colored, glossed, flavored and given a fragrance with natural pigments, gloss and taste, and aged and molded into predetermined shape.SOLUTION: Ingredients with water added to a liquid extract from specific ingredients from which natural pigments, gloss and taste can be obtained, are prepared. Hot water is prepared in a stirrer, and the ingredients and sodium alginate are mixed and stirred. A mixture is moved from the stirrer to an aging tank and aged for 8-12 hours to obtain gel liquid. Meanwhile, 0.05-0.3% of food additive alum and 0.5-1.0% of calcium chloride (the percentages to 100% of the gel liquid) are dissolved in a molding tank. The gel liquid is dropped into mixed liquid in the molding tank and molded in the form of noodles or beads. After molding is completed, a molded product in a jelly state is sunk in purified water for 5-7 hours and given springiness. The molded product after the lapse of 5-7 hours is washed in purified water and put in a mesh body such as a perforated basket so as to be naturally dehydrated. A small amount of fermented liquor is jetted onto the product, and the product is packaged.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】海藻から得た材料と天然の色素、艶、味が得られる色付け、艶出し、味付け及び香り付けし、熟成させて所定の形状に成型した、食しやすい海藻食品を提供する。【解決手段】天然の色素、艶、味が得られる特定の材料からの抽出液に水を加えた材料を用意する。撹拌機に温水を準備し、前記材料とアルギン酸ナトリウムを混合、撹拌する。撹拌機から熟成タンクに移動し、8~12時間熟成させ、ゲル液を得る。一方、成型タンクに食品添加物明礬0.05~0.3%と塩化カルシウム0.5~1.0%(上記ゲル液100%に対する比率)を溶解する。上記ゲル液を成型タンク内の混合液中に落下させ、麺或いはビーズの形態に成型させる。成型の終了後、ジェリ状態の成型品を精製水に5~7時間沈下させ、弾力性を付与させる。5~7時間経過した成型品を、精製水で洗い、ざる等の網状体に入れて自然脱水し、発酵酒精を少量噴射し、包装する。【選択図】図1
