<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing edible powder using natural kombu (Laminariaceae Bory) rhizoids containing minerals in the sea bottom as a raw material by effectively making use of the natural kombu rhizoids without discarding the same. <P>SOLUTION: The edible powder using natural kombu rhizoids as the raw material is mainly produced through a drying step, cutting-washing step, re-drying step, powder-producing step and pasteurization step. In the drying step, the rhizoids are dried in the sun and/or by blowing hot air, subsequently put into a basket having slits and brought to be fallen down to fall down impurities adhering to the rhizoids. In the cutting-washing step, the rhizoids having passed through the drying step are immersed in water so as to be easily processed, subsequently cut and washed. The cutting and washing are carried out in 2 steps. In the re-drying step, the rhizoids are dried in the sun for 7-10 days. In the powder-producing step, the rhizoids having passed through the steps are crushed by a crusher. In the pasteurization step, the rhizoids are preserved in a freezer at -30°C for 4 days to pasteurize the same. The edible powder produced by passing through all the steps contains 5.24% fucoidan. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
