Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Industrial Field of the Invention In the present invention, a packaged product obtained by packaging white rice, wheat or other food material together with dilute salt water in a permeable packaging membrane is immersed in a conductive liquid. After that, the present invention relates to a method for producing an electrically processed food, which is capable of producing a packaged food by sterilizing the food material by heat and aging in a short time by effectively energizing the packaged product.

2. Description of the Related Art In general, cooked rice or wheat or other food material is stored in a container such as a pot or pan under flooded condition, and then the food material is boiled by an indirect heating means from the outside to obtain a cooked food. The rice cooking and boiling method as described above has been performed for a long time and is well known, without needing to exemplify it before the present application.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention By the way, when it is attempted to obtain a cooked rice food by boiling the rice cooking material from the outside by a simple indirect heating like the conventional rice cooking and boiling methods, It takes time, and it is not possible to easily obtain cooked food within a short time. Since the ingredients of the cooked food itself cannot be changed effectively, it is a bit different from conventional cooked food There was a problem that we could not get the cooked food in a short time.

Means for Solving Problems The present invention solves the above problems, and the method thereof will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 corresponding to the embodiments. That is, the food material A and the diluted salt water B are stored in the permeable packaging film body 102, and the packaged product 101 is formed by packaging the food material A and the diluted salt water B.

Next, the above-mentioned package 101 is immersed in the conductive liquid C contained in the insulating container 104 under the submerged state, and then the food material A is matured by the energizing action applied between the pair of electrodes 107 and 108. This is an electroprocessed food product 111 that has been sterilized and quickly has a good flavor.

Action Now, the food material A and the dilute salt water B are housed and packaged in the permeable packaging film body 102, which is quickly made entirely conductive due to the permeation action of the dilute salt water B, and the substantially sealed package 101 is molded. To achieve.

Then, the above-mentioned package 101 is provided with a pair of electrodes 107 and 108 inside the opposing walls 105 and 106, and is further immersed in an insulating container 104 in which the conductive liquid C is housed to bring it into a submerged state. Then, the permeable packaging film body 102 forming the above-mentioned package 101 is further improved in conductivity by transmitting the conductive liquid C from the outer surface. Therefore, if current is applied between the pair of electrodes 107 and 108, the current is effectively circulated in the food material A through the conductive liquid C, the permeable packaging film body 102 formed into the conductive liquid, and the dilute salt water B contained therein. The generated Joule heat quickly raises the temperature.

Then, while the temperature is raised, the food material A further absorbs the salt content of the dilute salt water B stored together, so that it is further heated by Joule. On the other hand, since the conductive liquid C is also heated by Joule heat, the entire packaged product 101 is heated and heated more than the outer circumference. As a result, the upper surface side of the permeable packaging film body 102 swells once due to evaporation of boiling water, but the upper surface side of the permeable packaging film body 102 returns to its original state when the food material A absorbs and expands the dilute salt water B. The shrunk food material A is completely sterilized by heat and heat to produce a delicious energized processed food which has a slightly different chew and taste.

Example An example of a manufacturing apparatus for carrying out the method for manufacturing an electrically processed food according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 101 is a food material A, such as white rice,
Wheat, other grains, or other food materials are washed with water or dilute salt water and drained, and then the bottomed tubular permeable packaging membrane
To be packaged in a container 102 together with dilute salt water B, which is slightly larger than the amount of the food material A, and to tie the open part of the permeable packaging membrane body 102 with an appropriate fastener 103 in a substantially hermetic manner. It is a packaged product formed by.

Reference numeral 104 denotes an insulative container on a bottomed casing having an open top surface capable of sterilizing the food material A by heat treatment to obtain an electrically processed food in a short time.
A pair of electrodes 107 and 108 are disposed on the four opposing walls 105 and 106. Further, inside the pair of electrodes 107 and 108, separators 109 and 109 having a large number of current-carrying windows 110 open are arranged, and in the insulating container 104, a conductive liquid C made of dilute salt water and the package 101. Is housed.

Therefore, since the package 101 is dipped in the conductive liquid C under the flooded condition, the permeable packaging membrane body 102 receives the diluted salt water B stored together with the food material A from the inner surface and the permeable packaging film body 102 from the outer surface. By transmitting the conductive liquid C together, the conductivity of the entire package 101 is further improved. 111 is an electrically processed food that has been ripened and heat-sterilized.

Therefore, according to the method of the present invention, the transparent packaging film body 102 having a bottomed cylindrical shape is housed together with the food material A and the dilute salt water B slightly larger than the food material A so that the transparent packaging is possible. Membrane 102
A large number of packaged items 101 are formed by wrapping the open part of the device in a substantially sealed manner with a fastener 103 while removing the air inside. Next, after the plurality of packaged items 101 are immersed and stored in a bottomed casing-like insulating container 104 in which the conductive liquid C is accommodated under a flooded state, electricity is applied between the pair of electrodes 107 and 108. , The electric current is effectively distributed to the package 101 through the energization windows 110 of the partition walls 109, 109, and the Joule heat generated sterilizes the food material A in the inside in a short time by ripening it and biting it a bit differently. We were able to produce delicious energized processed foods 111 with a good taste.

When the food material A is white rice, it is permissible to mix the white rice with a desired material or seasoning to prepare rice, but the method of the present invention is also applicable to grains and other boiled foods other than the above. It is possible. Further, the packaged product 101 can have any shape.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION In summary, according to the present invention, a packaged product 101 obtained by packaging a food material A and a dilute salt water B in a permeable packaging membrane body 102 is filled with a conductive liquid C in an insulating container 104 under a flooded condition. After the immersion, the food material A is sterilized by heat treatment by the energizing action applied between the pair of electrodes 107 and 108, so that the permeable packaging membrane body 102 contains the dilute salt water B from the inner surface and the conductive liquid C from the outer surface. Permeate to permeate through to significantly improve the conductive liquid of the whole packaged product 101 to surely achieve a smooth energizing action, and to easily produce an electrically processed food 111 with a chew and taste As the food material A and the dilute salt water B contained in the permeable packaging film body 102 are heated by Joule heating, the absorption action of the dilute salt water B to the permeable packaging film body 102 is of course further promoted. That is, the Joule heating is further promoted by promoting the permeation of the diluted salt water B into the food material A. It is Mel possible. In addition, the conductive liquid C is also heated by Joule heat at the time of energization, and the heating action heats the package 101 from the outer periphery, so that the food material A is also heat-aged on average. A has the effect that the chewy texture with bulges and the external processing time for producing a tasty food can be shortened to an extremely short time, so that a significant saving in electric power can be achieved.
