Each bun stuffing may be put into a skin to produce a kimchi dumpling, a Szechuan dumpling and a meat dumpling, respectively, and a unique taste according to the different bun stuffing may be preserved during production.


The wheat flour means a powder made from an albumen part of wheat, and is produced by a roll milling machine. The wheat flour may be produced from Korean wheat including Sonora 64 wheat, dwarf wheat or Keumkang wheat, etc. The SP is a kind of mixing ingredient, and includes an emulsifier, a sodium acetate, a malic acid, a hydroxyl propyl phosphate, a potato starch, a potassium hydrogen tartrate or a fumaric acid. And the SP may include a propylene glycol.


Various additives may be added for producing the skin, and the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. The process making the skin from the prepared stuffs will be disclosed in following.


In one embodiment, a multi-enzyme compound such as a Hemi-celluase, a lipase and the like can be added to the skin. The multi-enzyme compound may have a value of titer corresponding to xylanase, glucanase and lipase originated from aspergilus, and can hydrolyze β-glucan and animal and/or vegetable fat that may be mixed in a wheat dough. And the result of the hydrolysis including a mono-glyceride, a di-glyceride, a tri-glyceride, a fatty acid and a glycerol can improve the stability of the wheat dough and the property of the produced dumpling.


In general, the mixture for the dumpling has defect that the resilient property of the dough is insufficient and the property of extension is higher than that of breads, because of the deficiency of salt. Hence, an enzyme, an ascorbic acid or a bread improving agent can be added to the mixture of the dumpling for improving the stability.


In one embodiment of the present invention, the multi-enzyme compound may be added to the dough of the dumpling for compensating the defect of the wheat dough of the dumpling. The multi-enzyme compound may have functions improving volume, connection, mechanism and cooking tolerance. The multi-enzyme compound may be added in amount of 5 ppm˜50 ppm for a lower sugar flour, while in amount of 150˜250 ppm for a higher sugar flour. The higher sugar flour means that the amount of sugar is 5˜10 wt % to the amount of the flour. The multi-enzyme compound may be added, mixed with the flour, or be added in form of a water solution. Advantageously, a tigerzym may be substituted for the multi-enzyme compound.


In the meanwhile, a sour wheat powder may be used for producing the dumpling according to the present invention. The sour wheat powder has some acidity and unique taste in light yellowish brown color, and may be added in amount of 1˜5 wt % to that of the wheat flour. For example, the sour wheat may consist of an wheat malt, an wheat milling product and a seed culture, and may have water content below 5 wt %, about 3.3 pH and total acidity of 90 to 110. In one embodiment, the sour wheat powder may comprise 4.4 wt % of humidity, 1.8 wt % of ash, 14.1 wt % of protein, 1.4 wt % of fat, 9.09 wt % of dietary fiber and 69.2 wt % of carbohydrate. The seed culture may be a lactobacillus, an acetobacter or a yeast fungus.


The skin and bun stuffing may be prepared, at S11, as amount of skin:bun stuffing=60:20˜45 in weight and each may be weighed in the range of the above amount properly. If the skin and bun stuffing is prepared in the above-mentioned amount, at S11, then dough may be made for the skin, at S12 and the bun stuffing may be input into the skin in a predetermined shape. The dough for the skin may be made according a known manner in this art, for example the dough may be made through mechanical mixing or stirring.


After the skin is made from the dough and the bun stuffing is sealed within the skin to be a pre-stuff for the dumpling, the pre-stuff may be fermented to be a dumpling, at S13. The fermentation can proceed at 30 to 50° C. of temperature and 50 to 70% of relative humidity. The fermentation, for example, may proceed at a fermentation room for 30 to 60 minutes. And the fermented pre-stuff may be made into a pre-dumpling through being steamed, at S14.


For example, the steaming may proceed at 90 to 130° C. of temperature for 5 to 20 minutes at a steaming room that has a suitable controller to regulate the temperature with steam. After the steam process is completed, a cooling may proceed, at S15. The cooling can be, not limited to, natural cooling, but the pre-dumpling may be cooled in any method known in this art.


The dumpling according to the present invention can be made for mass production and distribution, and after distribution, the dumpling can be made eatable by being steamed or being grilled. Therefore, in cooling process, advantageously, the rate of water absorption should be controlled properly. In other words, it is necessary for the most outer part should be to be hardened faster than any other part of the pre-dumpling. For such cooling process, the pre-dumpling be cooled at 0 to 15° C. and below 30% of relative humidity firstly, then the pre-dumpling may be cooled in a natural cooling method. On the other hand, the first cooling may proceed at 0.5 to 0.9 of atmosphere. The first cooling may proceed for 5 to 10 minutes.


If the natural cooling method is completed, at S15, the rapid freezing process may proceed for storing and preserving taste of the pre-dumpling, at S16. For example, the rapid freezing may proceed below −20° C. for 60 to 240 minutes. The rapid freezing may prevent the dumpling from going to bad during distribution and at the same time may be stored in long term. Then, the frozen pre-dumpling may be packed as a predetermined amount of dumpling per box, at S17, and each box can be stored at a food depot, at S18. The dumplings can be packed and stored in any method known in this art. And the present invention cannot be limited to the method.



FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating an example of process for making a skin according to one embodiment of the present invention.


Referring to FIG. 2, the method for producing a skin of a dumpling may comprise weighing raw material, at S21; first-mixing the weighted raw material using gelatinizing-heating method, at S22; second-mixing the gelatinized material with auxiliary stuff added, at S23: making the material and stuff into a dough using a kneader, at S24; mixing the dough at least first time at S25; and shaping the mixed dough into a predetermined size and form in a food molding machine, at S26.


As above-mentioned, the skin may comprise 35˜45 wt % wheat flour; 0.3˜0.8 wt % of yeast; 1.0˜2.0 wt % of pure water; 0.3˜0.8 wt % of baking powder; 0.2˜0.4 wt % of soy bean; 0.15˜0.35 wt % of salt; 0.10˜0.40 wt % of liquid prima; and 0.10˜0.30 wt % of ingredients such as SP to the total weight of dumpling. In addition, the skin may comprise 5 to 250 ppm of multi-multi-enzyme compound and 1 to 5 wt % of sour wheat powder to the weight of wheat flour.


For producing the skin, the wheat flour may be input into the kneader for making gelatinization-heated dough. For gelatinization-heating, the reduced amount of wheat flour by 0.3 to 1.0 wt % to the total weight of the dumpling may be mixed with water. And the above-mentioned material can be input a heater and may be heated, for example, at the temperate of 80 to 100° C. in a manner double boiling. The gelatinization means that a starch powder loses crystallization to be enhanced in resolvability, and it may have advantage that the skin may be soft and the aging can be delayed. If more than or equal to 90% of the wheat flour is gelatinized by double-boiling, the yeast, the baking powder, the raw bean powder, the salt, the SP and the liquid prima may be added to the gelatinized wheat flour, at S23.


The SP may be some mixing ingredient, and the ingredient may comprise an emulsifier, a preserved agent, an anti-oxidant, a stabilizing agent, a solvent and the like. The ingredient may further comprise an acidity-regulating agent, an enzyme supplement, an vitamin C, a sodium acetate, a dextrin, a hydroxypropylphosphoric acid, a starch, a potassium hydrogen tartrate, a sodium phosphate dibasic, a fumaric acid, a glucose powder and the like. After the material and stuff are mixed suitably through a second mixing, the making dough may proceed, at S24. During making dough, it is necessary for the dough to be mixed to determine the developing degree of gluten. The dough may be made through picking, cleaning up, developing and completing, and the mixing may proceed to determine the degree of the development. The Mixing may advance as two stages, and continue for 1 to 3 minutes and 4 to 8 minutes at first stage and second stage, respectively. And the gluten may develop to the degree of 70 to 90%.


After mixing is completed at S25, the dough may put into a food molding machine to be formed with certain size, at S26. And the bun stuffing is put into the skin. As above-mentioned, the bun stuffing is put into the skin such as skin:bun stiffing=60:20 to 45 in weight percentage.


Below, there are provided with various embodiments of the method for producing the dumpling according to the present invention.
