发明名称 Method and system for manufacturing frozen sushi that remains stable until consumption following thawing and refrigeration
摘要 The current document is directed to methods and systems for manufacturing frozen-sushi food products that remain texturally and compositionally stable while frozen and refrigerated for extended periods of time. A variety of different processing steps and ingredients are employed to prevent retrogradation of gelatinized starch in cooked sushi rice, including quick cooking of the rice, employing non-nutritive sweeteners in place of sugar, controlling the amount of salt in the sushi rice, and use of β amylase and gellan gum.

主权项 1. A process that produces frozen sushi food products that are stable when stored at sub-freezing, freezing, and above-freezing refrigeration temperatures, the process comprising: cooking low-amylose, sweet rice; combining the cooked rice with a first processing solution that includes water, vinegar, salt, a non-nutritive sweetener, and low-acyl gellan gum by adding the first processing solution and cooked rice to an electro-mechanical tumbling subsystem that mixes the first processing solution into the cooked rice; after addition of the first processing solution to the cooked rice, waiting for the cooked rice to cool to between 130° F. and 160° F., andadding a second processing solution to the mixture of the cooked rice and first processing solution, the second processing solution comprising water and low-acyl gellan gum; layering the cooked rice with one or more additional food-product layers to form a continuous multi-layered nascent product; rolling the multi-layered nascent product into a cylindrical, continuous sushi roll; cutting the continuous sushi roll into individual sushi rolls; and freezing the individual sushi rolls;wherein the first processing solution is prepared by combining 570 grams of 5% white distilled vinegar, 90 grams of sodium chloride, 1040 grams of water, 0.7 grams of sucralose, and 20 grams of high-acyl gellan gumfor addition to a quantity of cooked low-amylose sweet rice that weighed 10 lbs. prior to cooking.
