BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention uses a high-pressure liquid substance such as a pickle liquid or a seasoning liquid for a meat mass such as pork, beef, poultry meat, etc. to facilitate peeling of meat from bones in the meat mass. And a method for processing meat.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a method of immersing a product with bones (chicken with bones, spare ribs, back ribs, etc.) in a seasoning liquid or injecting the seasoning liquid using a multi-needle injector is known. . When injected, more seasoning liquid can be added to the meat than in the immersion method, resulting in a softer product. There is an injector for raw meat with bone, and injection is possible, but injection pressure is high at about 12 kg / cm 2 and lower than meat stress. It was difficult to inject. Therefore, even if the meat becomes soft, the bone and the meat are joined via the periosteum, and the meat is hard to peel off from the bone when eaten, resulting in a product that is hard to eat.

[0003] In addition, in order to soften air or gas by pouring it into meat, a conventional technique has been to inject gas by dissolving or dispersing the gas in a liquid such as a seasoning liquid. In addition, to make the meat tender, hit the meat with a meat beef, or use a holing device with a needle-shaped or knife-shaped tip, or use a device called a tender riser to make many small holes or cuts in the meat. There is known a softening method for softening. This softening process is performed before or after seasoning.
Furthermore, for this softening treatment, an injector for making a hole or a cut in the meat while injecting the seasoning liquid with a needle is also used, but it is structurally complicated, and the part where the hole or the cut is broken is broken and mixed as foreign matter into the meat. There was a problem.

[0004] On the other hand, the following prior arts are known for application of a needleless pickle injector and an injection method to processed meat products such as ham. JP-A-5-244906 discloses a method of introducing a liquid substance such as salt water into a piece of meat by a needleless pickle injector under high pressure using a spray nozzle. The pickle injector has a structure in which the thickness of the meat mass is kept constant by a pressure roller and a conveyor, and is injected by a spray nozzle from below, and the nozzle interval is 20 mm.
Although it is described that the liquid substance can be injected into the meat having a thickness of 20 mm or less, since the pickle injector uses a diffusion type spray nozzle, it is shown in FIG. 5 of the publication. As described above, the liquid substance spreads concentrically, and a part that is not injected and a part where the liquid overlaps occur, which is difficult to say that it is a method that can uniformly inject and disperse, and the pickle injector pushes the thickness of the meat. Injection after crushing and thinning,
There is a disadvantage that the spray pressure which spreads concentrically damages the meat and cannot be used for thick meat. Also, in this method, the pressure roller may cause cracks or collapse of the meat mass. Therefore, even if the thickness is reduced with a pressure roller, it is difficult to apply this method to pig thigh meat or loin meat having a thickness exceeding 30 mm.

The driver is connected to the PLC, and the PL of the operating state of the motor is
The motor is driven in response to the output to C and the PLC command. The motor rotates in proportion to the number of pulses received by the driver from the PLC, and changes the rotation speed according to the pulse speed (temporal density). When the high-pressure pump is driven by the servomotor, the flow rate of the liquid is roughly proportional to the rotation speed (positioning) of the motor, and the pressure of the liquid is roughly proportional to the rotation speed of the motor.

In the present invention, while injecting the liquid substance from the straight water jet nozzle, the injection pressure is changed from zero or low pressure so as to gradually increase, preferably gradually and continuously, so that the meat can be made uniform. Desirable for processing. When a straight water jet nozzle is used, the injected liquid material is dispersed in the lateral direction at a certain depth due to the resistance of the meat tissue as a characteristic of injection and dispersion of the liquid material into the meat mass, and the injection pressure gradually increases. When it rises, it becomes an injection depth commensurate with the injection pressure, and spreads laterally due to the resistance of the meat tissue at that depth. This phenomenon occurs repeatedly as the injection depth increases, and the liquid material is uniformly dispersed from the surface to the bottom of the meat mass. Therefore, if the injection pressure is gradually increased from zero or low pressure, an excellent product that is uniformly processed Is obtained.

In the present invention, the injection is started at a high initial injection pressure, and then the injection is performed while controlling the injection pressure so that the injection pressure gradually decreases to a low pressure or zero.
It is preferable to inject the meat while changing it so as to descend gradually and continuously in order to uniformly process the meat. When using a straight water jet nozzle, as a characteristic of injection and dispersion of the liquid substance into the meat mass, the liquid substance injected to a certain depth according to a certain initial injection pressure is dispersed laterally due to the resistance of the meat tissue. When the injection pressure gradually decreases, the injection depth becomes the injection depth commensurate with the injection pressure, and is dispersed in the lateral direction due to the resistance of the meat tissue at that depth. This phenomenon occurs repeatedly as the injection depth decreases, and the liquid material is uniformly dispersed from the bottom to the surface of the meat mass.If the injection pressure is gradually reduced to low pressure or zero, an excellent product that is uniformly processed Is obtained. Such an injection method and a pickle injector used therein are described in detail in the specification of Japanese Patent Application No. 10-331733.

As a processing of the present invention in which air or gas is included in a meat mass, there is a method of dissolving and dispersing an inert gas or air in a liquid in advance and injecting while controlling the injection pressure. When a high-pressure straight water stream is injected from a nozzle,
A method of injecting a gas such as air, carbon dioxide gas or nitrogen gas at the same time as injecting by injecting a high-pressure water flow away from the meat by utilizing the property that the water flow entrains the air or gas around the water flow and simultaneously injecting air or carbon dioxide gas or nitrogen gas . If this high-pressure water stream is sprayed away from the meat, the meat will be damaged when the meat moves due to the force of the spray water stream.If damage becomes a problem, an air introduction hole is provided on the side surface of the nozzle tip, or A gas pipe can be connected to the side surface of the nozzle tip. Thus, by including air or gas in the meat, a soft, soft and easy-to-eat product can be obtained.

Examples of the processing of the present invention for softening meat include a method in which a high-pressure water flow and a liquid substance are relatively moved and injected to cut and harden hard meat tissue or connective tissue. According to this method, the structure is simpler than that of the conventional device, and no foreign matter is mixed. Also, if a seasoning liquid is used for the high-pressure water stream, meat can be softened at the same time as seasoning.
