Rice cakes is one of the traditional Chinese food, which is also known as the ' Year of rice cakes ', with the ' annual high ' homophonic, implying that people's lives and work more than a year to improve, to this end by many places people's favorite. As the rice cakes are produced in small workshops, the quality and safety have been the concern of everyone. Remember, once on the internet once circulated ' somewhere ', "elastic rice cakes," the video, although the authorities confirmed purely rumors, but this also failed to dispel some consumer concerns.
So, at present, how is the production of rice cakes? I walked into a certain rice cake processing workshop, with everyone's doubts to find out! At first, the author simply understand the processing of rice cakes, generally including weighing, milling, rolling powder, sieve powder, mixing powder, steaming powder, playing cakes, molding, cut cake, cooling, drying, packaging and many other processes, many of which (milling, sieve powder, cooking, ramming powder, etc.) need a lot of labor, even qizaotanhei work, the middle
Do not stop, the maximum processing of the daily weight of rice, coupled with the rise in labor costs, but also for processing enterprises to increase the cost burden.
into the processing workshop to see how the mechanized production of rice cakes to effect durability
Enter the rice cake processing workshop, give the first impression is clean, sanitary, there is cleaning room, disinfection area, but also installed a wind system, can effectively remove the hair, dust particles in and out of the staff, to avoid the production of rice cakes clean area brought two times pollution, to ensure food production safety, health. The author clearly saw the staff open the machine switch, cleaning equipment began to be symmetrical heavy rice to wash. Staff said that the time of the rice wash soak, water temperature will affect the water content of rice, water content is low, made out of the rice cakes on the hard, not easy to cut off.
At the same time, the higher the ratio of glutinous rice in rice cakes, the more elastic the taste, this also can explain the reason why elastic rice cakes can play well. Then, the washing of rice into the grinding machine, the need to grind the rice fine, to ensure the delicate taste of rice cakes. It is understood that the market whole grains mill by the feed, cone grinding and separation system composition, can achieve continuous feeding type operation.
In addition, the crushing cavity gradient using a special process design, further ensuring the fineness of the grinding, while the operation is easy to use, not easy to produce excessive torque or bonded flour, to ensure the taste of rice cakes. After the rolling powder, sieve powder, mixing powder, is steamed powder, playing cake process. According to the staff, in this link, the traditional manual process of ' three steamed 200 hammer ', but time-consuming and laborious, handmade rice cakes production too low.
And the cooking pot, the application of Chung Powder machine, not only improve the production efficiency, is conducive to scale, standardized production, but also ensure the quality and safety of rice cakes. The author learned that cooking, playing cakes is a key link in the production of rice cakes. Among them, rice cakes when cooking, only the precise control of the steaming time, temperature to make fragrant glutinous rice cakes, then the steam generator plays an important role. Because the steam generator has the temperature control system, can realize the multi-gear power regulation, the precise control steam temperature, does not because the temperature is too high or too low to affect the rice cake edible taste.
In addition, the steam generator can also be used in the rice cakes packaging, the general rice cakes are more plastic packaging, through steam heating packaging sealing, sealing fast, high efficiency. The mention of rice cake sealing packaging, we have to say the problem of fresh rice cakes. We know that before the rice cakes are now sold, only three days or so of shelf life, after the use of vacuum packaging cake, so that the shelf life has been extended. However, the workshop has been successfully developed to extend the shelf-life of rice cakes technology, through biological antimicrobial agents, rice cakes can be normal conditions at normal temperature, save 3 months without deterioration.
At present, hundreds of kilograms of rice cakes to achieve a 3-month shelf-fresh, technical research has achieved a phased success. Experience: Traditional crafts to carry forward the inheritance is important, but the workshop pure handmade rice cakes safe, health is worrying. True, automated production can not only improve efficiency, but also to ensure the taste and quality of rice cakes, is the future of many rice cakes Processing workshop development direction.
