The invention relates to the field of
food processing, in particular to a preparation method of crisp fruit and vegetable chips without adding a color
retention agent. The preparation method comprisesthe following steps: washing raw materials, i.e., washing the raw materials by utilizing a high-pressure washing
machine, and removing
silt and foreign matters on the surfaces of the raw materials; screening i.e., removing uneatable parts in the raw materials, grading the raw materials and selecting qualified raw materials, and spraying low-temperature water in a screening process; carrying out secondary washing, i.e., putting the raw materials into a bubble washing
machine and washing, and then putting the raw materials into a long water flowing tank; sterilizing, i.e., conveying the raw materials into a sterilization tank through the long water flowing tank and carrying out sterilization treatment; carrying out
film coating, i.e., carrying out
oxygen isolation treatment on the sterilized raw materials on a
conveyor belt, and then putting the raw materials into a
film coating solution and carrying out
film coating; carrying out
air drying, i.e., treating the film-coated raw materialson the
conveyor belt and treating through an
air drying machine to carry out rapid
air drying and water removal; carrying out freeze-
drying, i.e., putting the water-removed raw materials into a vacuum freeze-
drying box and carrying out freeze-
drying treatment. According to a color retention technology provided by the invention, any color
retention agent is not added; contact between the raw materials and
oxygen gas is reduced in a whole conveying process of the raw materials, and the fruit and vegetable raw materials are effectively prevented from changing color in a
processing process.
