Title:
METHOD FOR TREATING SEAWEEDS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3179198
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To provide a seaweed theating method effective for long-term preservation of seaweeds such as wakame seaweeds (Undaria pinnatifida), Hizikia fusiforme or laver.
CONSTITUTION: A hot animal oil, fish oil or plant oil in a closed vessel is charged with seaweeds such as wakame seaweeds, Hizikia fusiforme or laver, and the contents are agitated under heating while reducing the pressure in the vessel and adjusting the oil temperature. Thus, the thermal decomposition of the active ingredients in the seaweeds (e.g. sodium L-glutamate) can be prevented, and the treatment is made under a three-step pressure-decreasing situation made up of earlier stage pressure reduction process, middle stage pressure reduction process and later stage pressure reduction process. Thereby, the saline component on the surface of the seaweeds migrates into the hot oil along with penetration of the oil into the texture of the seaweeds, resulting in dehydrating the water contained in the seaweeds. The oil thus absorbed is then removed from the seaweeds.
