Computer Technology Application in the Production Process of Meatballs
Abstract: Meatballs production process is a complicated process, involving lots of operations such as ingredients mixing, forming of meatballs, proofing, frying, etc. In the intensive competition in the market, how to improve the efficiency of meatballs production process has high requirements, and the application of computer technology in production process can effectively help to reduce human labor and improve the quality of meatballs. This article focuses on the application of computer technology in the production process of meatballs.
1 Introduction
Meatballs are a type of popular food for people, which are widely popular among all age groups all over the world, especially in China. The production process of meatballs is complex and needs a large amount of labor, and management is complex and the efficiency of production is low. It is a worthwhile thing to improve the efficiency of meatballs’ production process by using computer technology.
2 Meat Balls Production Process
Generally, the production process of meatballs can be divided into three parts: ingredients mixing, forming of meatball and frying. The ingredients mixing process mainly includes material mixing and seasoning, the seasoning process needs dozens of kinds of raw materials, with different concentrations and proportions for different kinds of seasonings. The forming of meatball process includes forming of meatball and setting time, and the temperature and setting time depend on the size and ingredients of meatball. Frying is the last part of the production process, time and temperature must be strictly controlled to make sure the meatballs have the best fragrance and taste.
3 Computer Technology and Its Role in the Production Process of Meatballs
Computer technology can help in the production process of meatballs in many ways, as follows: (1) Optimizing the ingredients and proportion: by using computers, the ingredients and proportion of a variety of seasonings can be adjusted and optimized, so as to ensure the consistent flavor of meatballs. (2) Forming optimization: computers can be used to optimize the parameters of forming machine, to ensure the formation of the same shape and consistent size of the meatballs. (3) Frying optimization: computer can optimize the parameters of fryer, such as frying time, temperature and rotation speed, to ensure the meatballs were fully fried and the flavor and taste were very perfect.
4 Conclusion
In the production process of meatballs, computer technology plays an important role in optimizing the raw materials, forming and frying processes. The application of computer technology can improve the production efficiency and controllability, as well as reduce human labor, and it can also maintain the quality and consistency of the produced meatballs.
