Method for removing mucus on surface of river snail meat

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for removing mucus on the surface of river snail meat. The method includes: adding mucus removing agent with the mass being 8-12% of the mass of the river snail meat into the river snail meat, stirring for 5-15 minutes, and washing with water, wherein the mucus removing agent comprises, by mass percentage, 20-30% of salt, 3-5% of sucrose ester, 30-40% of flour and the balance of sunflower head powder. The method has the advantages that the method only needs to add the mucus removing agent into the river snail meat, the synergic effect of the components of the mucus removing agent is utilized, the mucus and impurities attached the surface of the river snail meat can be removed fast and thoroughly by directly washing after stirring, and the whole method is simple in process step, easy to operate, safe, efficient, and worthy of popularization and application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aquatic product processing, in particular to a method for removing surface mucus from snail flesh. Background technique [0002] Escargot, also known as Chinese round snail, belongs to the mollusk phylum, gastropoda, and snail family, and is widely distributed in North China, the Yellow River Plain, the Yangtze River Basin and other places. The snail meat is tender and delicious, with high nutritional value, rich in various vitamins and minerals. Its protein content is as high as about 18%, and its fat content is only about 0.63%. It has the effects of promoting body fluid and quenching thirst, so it is a typical nutritional and health food. The snail is now except fresh food and dried, also its meat is processed into other ready-to-eat products such as dried snail meat, canned snail meat to improve its economic value. [0003] There is a layer of mucus on the surface of snail meat, which has a strong m...

Problems solved by technology

The principle of this method is to first use salt water to make the mucus on the surface of the snail body colloidal through salting out, then coagulate the mucus in gelatinous form through the flocculation of alum, and finally wash it away with water, and at the same time use the aluminum hydroxide formed by hydrolysis of alum In order to achieve the purpose of removing adsorbed sand and impurities, the shortcoming of this method is that the flocculent colloid formed by the mucus due to salting out will still adhere closely to the surface of the octopus, which is not easy to clean, making the subsequent cleaning more difficult. Time-consuming and labor-intensive, in addition, long-term consumption of alum is very harmful to the human body
