【Case Study】Far Infrared Katsuobushi Softening Machine

Installed in the pre-processing stage of the automatic shaving device! Used by many shaving flake manufacturers.

Here is a case study of the delivery of the "Far Infrared Katsuobushi Softening Machine." Previously, to soften katsuobushi, steaming (cooking treatment) was performed using a batch furnace. However, steaming with water vapor caused the loss of umami components from the katsuobushi, requiring additional heating and drying after shaving, which deteriorated the taste, aroma, color, and shape of the shaved katsuobushi. By using this product, the moisture content is reduced by about 1%, eliminating the need for a drying process after shaving. Thanks to the various effects resulting from far infrared heating, high-quality shaved katsuobushi rich in color, luster, aroma, and elasticity can now be efficiently produced. [Challenges] - Steaming with water vapor causes the loss of umami components. - The addition of moisture to the katsuobushi necessitates further heating and drying after shaving, which further deteriorates the taste, aroma, color, and shape of the shaved katsuobushi. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*
