The invention provides
coix seed instant slices and a
processing method thereof.
Coix seeds are used as raw materials, and the
coix seed instant slices which are convenient to eat are prepared through the following steps of performing soaking in alkali liquor, performing
extrusion and crushing, performing
steam cooking, performing cooling and airing, performing pressing so as to obtain slices, and performing vacuum
microwave drying. The
coix seed instant slices disclosed by the invention are short in
drying time, high in production efficiency, good in rehydration, high in sensory evaluation value and nourishing in mouth feel. According to the coix seed instant slices and the
processing method thereof disclosed by the invention, the step of soaking in the alkali liquor and the step of performing treatment with a composite emulsifying agent are adopted, so that the
ageing speed of products is increased, and the
ageing of the products in the
drying process is reduced. The vacuum
microwave drying is adopted, so that the drying speed of the coix seed slices is increased, the
ageing and film formation phenomena of the surfaces of the coix seed slices are weakened, the products prepared through drying present a loose porous structure, the rehydration speed and the rehydration uniformity of the products are obviously improved, and the
brewing convenience of the coix seed instant slices is improved.
