There is such a popular song: 'Befriend to try the betel nut, a betel nut, a betel warm two, three betel nuts to match.' In many areas of social, marriage and other rituals can be seen everywhere betel nut.
Food machinery helps betel nuts to chews out 'technology taste'
At present, betel nuts are mostly fresh food. At the same time, betel nut processing has been stuck in the primary stage of bake dried fruit into dried fruit. The added value of primary processing is far below the fact that the deep processing added value is unchanged. In addition, betel nuts are the local In the traditional industries, the primary processing of dried fruits is mainly based on the traditional method of soil oven cooking. It not only pollutes the environment, but also has low production efficiency. The product quality is not guaranteed.
In order to respond positively to the overall requirements of the country's 'adhere to scientific development and achieve green growth', Hainan has vigorously promoted the application of the betel nut drying green transformation technology, encourages the use of green betel nut drying equipment and achieved certain results. It is understood that a company in Wanning County Independently founded the betel nut raw steam drying method, taking the lead in abandoning the traditional smoking process, adopting the automated circuit environmental protection processing technology, and drawing on the essence of the traditional process, developed a set of green fruit exquisite processing standards for processing, ensuring that the betel nut is healthy and vigorous. Road full.
In addition, Dingan County has clearly recognized that the clean air is the only way to develop the betel processing industry. Only in 2017, more than 1000 betelnut drying equipments have been rebuilt or newly built. Banned more than 4,000 traditional smoked earthen ovens.
In fact, in addition to adopting new drying equipment, processing methods have changed from pollution to environmental protection. New applications of new technologies and new equipment in the industry have also resulted in greater development of betel nut processing industry, from the original single product betel nut fruit, Betel nut dried fruit, derived betel phenol, betel nut chewing gum, betel nut coffee, betel nut enzyme, betel nut tea, betel nut beverage, betel nut wine, etc.
The author understands that an enterprise in Hainan has introduced betel chewing gum. As long as it is chewed for a while, the betel nut's aroma is overflowing between lips and teeth. This is due to the addition of the betel nut pressed powder (the pintol). Modern biotechnology extracts areca nut extracts rich in polyphenols, polysaccharides, amino acids and other compounds from betel nut, which can fully preserve the nutritional value and efficacy of betel nut fruit.
According to related personnel, the extraction of betel phenol from betel nut fruit is not a simple matter. It requires a series of processes such as washing, pressing, filtering, purifying, concentrating, and drying in order to obtain the product pinccol. It is worth noting that Previously, betelnut waste was produced in the press, and was deposited without any treatment, polluting the environment. Now, they will be made into biomass pellet fuel through advanced technology. It can be used as boiler fuel, thus realizing zero waste during processing. emission.
In addition, the application of concentration, drying, concentration equipment, and spray drying equipment effectively avoids problems such as secondary contamination of materials caused by manual operations, while also shortening the time, improving working conditions and ensuring the quality of pinopeol.
In fact, the drying speed of the spray dryer is faster than that of general drying equipment. It only takes a few seconds. It is particularly suitable for the drying of heat-sensitive materials. At the same time, the liquid can be dried into a powdered product at one time. After drying, no crushing and screening is required. This reduces the number of companies. Production process costs, improve product purity.
Many companies based on the requirements of the healthy development of science and technology and made a fuss about 'quality'. Nowadays, consumers can always buy betel products with good quality and pure taste. The author believes that the processing technology in the betel nut industry is constantly innovating. Next, the betel nut industry will also develop in the direction of refinement, automation, and mechanization to further satisfy consumers' demands for product quality and diversification.
