Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/006261
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
With respect to equipment for use in cooling operation conducted after final heating operation, such as baking, for spongy heated foods, such as baked bread, it is intended to attain energy saving, architecture downsizing and simplification and space saving, to enhance yield and commercial value of spongy heated food and to prevent quality deterioration of the foods. There is provided a method and system characterized by comprising at least the first step (I) of applying water to the surface of spongy heated food (F) having undergone a final heating operation; the second step (II) of promoting the cooling of spongy heated food (F) by the utilization of latent heat of evaporation of applied water; and the third step (III) of retaining the spongy heated food (F) having been cooled by the second step in an atmosphere of dewpoint temperature higher than the surface temperature of spongy heated food (F) wherein the humidity is higher than in the second step so as to cause the spongy heated food (F) to adsorb moisture.
