Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a food, in particular to a rice cake and a processing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Rice cake is a kind of daily food in my country, especially a kind of must-have food during festivals. Rice cakes are processed through water milling, steaming, hammering and other processes. The cakes are fine in quality, white in color and flexible, suitable for roasting, frying, frying and boiling, and are deeply loved by consumers. Although the existing rice cake tastes delicious and is convenient to eat, because it contains a large amount of amylopectin, it will easily affect people's normal digestion and excretion when eating too much; especially the larger starch content and the high calorie it has will hinder the body The absorption of other nutrients destroys the nutritional balance. In addition, the existing rice cakes also have the defects of being prone to aging and cracking, and being not resistant to storage. [...

Problems solved by technology

Although the existing rice cake tastes delicious and is convenient to eat, because it contains a large amount of amylopectin, it will easily affect people's normal digestion and excretion when eating too much; especially the larger starch content and the high calorie it has will hinder the body Absorption of other nutrients, disrupting nutritional balance

In addition, the existing rice cakes also have the disadvantages of being prone to aging and cracking, and being not resistant to storage.

[0003] Seaweed, kelp, wakame, hijiki and other large seaweeds are important artificially cultivated seaweeds in the world at present, and they are natural healthy food. The products produced by seaweed are in the form of "big bedding and small round cakes". The degree of dryness is different, there is no sealing condition, it is difficult to store, it is easy to be damp, and the moisture content is as high as 12-20%; the quality of large seaweeds such as kelp, wakame, hijiki, etc. also has relatively large deficiencies; the above-mentioned seaweed products are mainly It is mainly in the form of flakes, because of its large size and difficult packaging, which affects the shelf life of the product and the development of the market; in addition, due to the large and long leaves of the macroalgae, the primary products in the form of leaves and flakes are currently used as raw materials such as soup or directly As a food, in such foods, large seaweed has a well-developed cell wall, and it takes longer for digestive enzymes to reach the cells for decomposition. The nutrients of large seaweed are difficult to be absorbed by humans, especially the elderly, children and infants. The effect is even worse, and there are some safety hazards in eating, especially the impact on the elderly and children is more serious, which in turn affects the market development of large seaweed directly used as raw materials for production.
