Belonging to the field of agricultural product
deep processing, the invention provides a production method of a
lactic acid bacteria fermented lemon watermelon peel, and the method is special for watermelon peel
processing. The
lactic acid bacteria fermented lemon watermelon peel obtained by the method provided by the invention has fresh, fragrant, crisp, tender and other tastes, and is in accordance with people's dietary habits. The method provided by the invention adopts watermelon peel as the vegetable
fermentation raw material, also takes lemon rich in
vitamin as the auxiliary material, employs
lactic acid bacteria as the
fermentation agent, avoids environmental
pollution, at the same time realizes turning waste into treasure, improves the taste of watermelon peel, increases the nutrients watermelon peel, enhances the nutritional value of watermelon peel, extends the industrial chain of watermelon, and increases employment opportunities. The method includes the steps of: removing pulp and external
skin from a watermelon, washing the watermelon peel and conducting
slicing, performing color protection with 0.01-0.05% NaHSO3, carrying out hardening with 1-5%
calcium lactate, conducting
enzyme deactivation at 85DEG C-95DEG C, then performing
fermentation in a lactic acid bacteria
fermentation broth (containing 5%-10% of lemon slice) at 25-35DEG C for 3-5 days, thus obtaining the fermented lemon watermelon peel. The method provided by the invention is suitable for small workshop production and is also applicable to large-scale industrial production, thus having broad application prospects in the field of food fermentation.
