An apparatus for separating a ribbon of uncooked embossed dough into separated pieces patterned/shaped like the embossed pattern. The apparatus includes a pair of spaced apart rollers for receiving a ribbon of dough there between. One of rollers has a pattern embossed on its surface to emboss the ribbon of dough with the pattern. The surface embossing and the spacing between the rollers maintains the structural integrity of the embossed ribbon of dough. The apparatus has a two spaced apart rotating arms to receive the embossed dough ribbon there between. A plurality of spaced apart fingers extend outward along the length of each of the arms and are configured to tear the dough, without sticking, into dough pieces reflecting shapes embossed in the dough ribbon. The dough pieces can be dried, and patterned shaped pieces are separated out for expansion to three dimensions by cooking.

The present application relates to a technique for extracting mogroside V. Provided is a method for extracting high-purity mogroside V from Siraitia grosvenorii. The specific steps comprise: pre-treatment of a raw material, extraction, centrifugation, enzymolysis, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, decolorization, concentration, microwave drying, and pulverization. The invention utilizes a membrane-based technique for separation and purification, and only uses pure water as a solvent to eliminate usage of an organic solvent. The method can be easily performed, has a simple process, and provides a safe, environment-friendly, high quality, and low-cost product. The method can be used to realize continuous large-scale industrial production.
