What 水産ねり製品製造 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

水産ねり製品を製造する。
 水産ねり製品には、板付きかまぼこ、ちくわ、揚げかまぼこ、はんぺんやつみれなどのゆでかまぼこ、カニかまぼこやオードブルかまぼこなど様々な種類がある。製造工程は、魚肉の精製、らいかい、成形、加熱・冷却、包装、貯蔵・出荷に大別される。
 精製作業は生鮮魚から頭、内蔵などを取り除き肉を分離し、水晒し、脱水を行い不要な成分を取り除き魚肉を精製する。冷凍すり身は、この精製作業ののちに冷凍したものである。製品の製造には、通常、冷凍すり身が使用される。
 解凍した冷凍すり身や精製魚肉に食塩などを加えてすりつぶすらいかい作業は空ずり、塩ずり、本ずりに分かれている。いずれも原料をかくはん機でかきまぜる。空ずりでは、塩ずりの効率をよくするために魚肉の繊維を細かくし、塩ずりでは、食塩を添加してかまぼこ特有の弾力の基となるたん白質を抽出する。本ずりは仕上げずりともいわれ、調味料、でんぷんや水などを加えて味や弾力を整える。らいかい作業は、かまぼこの品質を決める重要な要素の一つであり、熟練工の監督の下に行われる。
 成形作業では、成形機を使用して、板付け、ちくわ型などそれぞれのかまぼこの形に成形する。
 加熱作業では、加熱機械を操作して、商品の形態ごとに焼き、蒸し、揚げ、ゆでなどを行う。加熱作業はらいかい作業と同様にかまぼこの品質を決める重要な要素の一つである。包装作業では、製品として出荷するため加熱冷却した後、包装機で商品を包装する。貯蔵・出荷作業では、完成した製品を冷蔵庫に保存し、注文により箱詰して出荷する。
