The food coating composition of the invention contains a cocoa powder having an L* of 35 or less and a powdery dispersion medium, wherein the cocoa powder is dispersed in the powdery dispersion medium. The content of the cocoa powder is preferably 0.1 to 10 mass %. The processed food of the present invention has a cocoa powder having an L* of 35 or less attached to its surface. The method for producing a processed food of the invention includes applying the food coating composition to a food substrate to form a coated food substrate and allowing the coated food substrate to cook. Allowing the coated food substrate to cook may be by at least one of frying, oven cooking, and steaming.

The present invention relates to a sushi composition, and more specifically, to a sushi composition which includes a sushi layer, a sauce layer formed on an upper surface of the sushi layer, and a powder layer formed on a lower surface of the sushi layer, wherein the sushi layer consists of a filling made of a protein component and a sushi mixture covering the filling. The sushi composition has excellent taste and texture, contains abundant nutrients, and exhibits excellent preservation by applying various ingredients in the form of a sauce or powder.

A vision guided intelligent system for automated crab meat picking operates in a fully automated or semi-automatic modes of operation using a crab meat picking routine based on (a) the CNN model localization of back-fin knuckles algorithm, and/or (b) the Deep Learning model which accurately locates not only knuckle positions, but also crab legs and crab cores, with a high pixel accuracy (up to 0.9843), and low computation time. The subject system uses a concept of analyzing crab morphologies obtained from digital crab images, and, using a Deep Learning architecture integrated in the system, segments crab images into five regions of interest in a single step with high accuracy and efficiency. The image segmentation results are used for generating crab cut lines in XYZ and angular directions, determining starting cutting points in Z plane, and guiding cutting tools and end effectors to automatically cut crabs and harvest crab meat.

A preparation method for a water-retaining nanoagent and applications thereof in a quick-frozen crustacean shrimp product, related to the technical field of food processing. The formula of the present invention comprises inulin, xylitol, carboxymethyl chitosan, pullulan, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium chloride, and sodium alginate. The powder raw materials are mixed evenly with water and then go through a homogenizer, a colloid mill, and an ultrasound treatment to produce the water-retaining nanoagent. The method of the present invention also relates to applications of the freeze-proof water-retaining agent in freezing a crustacean aquatic product.
