2. Description of the Related Art At present, many rice cookers which are widely marketed generally have not only a rice cooking function but also a heat retaining function. After putting predetermined rice and water into a pot and cooking rice, the process shifts to a warming process. The warming process is provided so that rice can be kept at an appropriate temperature and hot rice can be eaten at any time. . At the same time, in the warming step, rice is prevented from deteriorating by being kept at about 70 ° C. in order to prevent propagation of various bacteria.

However, when rice is maintained at about 70 ° C. in the heat-retaining step, it is possible to prevent most germs and mold from growing, but on the other hand, deterioration of rice due to oxidation and generation of oxidized odor are caused. Therefore, it has been considered safe to keep the temperature at most 24 hours, ideally within 12 hours. For this reason, in recent years, this warming
Rather than keeping the temperature constant at around ° C., a new heat retention temperature control has been devised that repeats 50 ° C. and 70 ° C. every several hours to prevent the propagation of various bacteria and the oxidation of rice at the same time.

Considering the existence of highly heat-tolerant bacteria that do not die in the vicinity, and the fact that there are many germs in hot and humid areas such as Kyushu, Okinawa, and the area near the Nansei Islands, the conventional methods are not sufficient. There has been a demand for a safe method capable of positively suppressing the growth of bacteria and fungi attached to rice and maintaining the freshness of rice for a long time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a corona discharge device for generating a mixed gas of negative ions and ozone is composed of a DC pulse power supply 17, a high voltage application electrode 15, and a counter electrode 16 separated by a space. By applying a negative high voltage to the high voltage applying electrode 15, a corona discharge occurs. On this occasion,
Electrons supplied from the electrodes collide with oxygen and water molecules in the air, and these are ionized. These negative ions move between the electrodes. At this time, when air is blown between the electrodes by the fan 14 or the like, some of the negative ions can fly out between the electrodes, and the present invention removes these negative ions. This negative ion generation amount depends on the wind power of the fan and the like. Also, ozone is generated at the electrode during corona discharge, and the amount of ozone generated depends on the applied voltage and the pulse frequency.

[0020] After a suitable amount of water and rice are put into the pot of the rice cooker and the rice cook process is performed, a heat retaining process is automatically started. The temperature of the rice in the pot slightly varies depending on the amount of cooked rice, but about one hour. At about 70 ° C. Normally, a general rice cooker is always kept at this temperature, but the rice cooker according to the present embodiment has a program in which the warming temperature of 50 ° C. and 70 ° C. are alternately repeated in a cycle of about 6 hours. That is, once the temperature of the rice has dropped to 50 ° C. once the rice cooking is completed, the cycle of maintaining the temperature at 50 ° C. for 4 hours, increasing the temperature from 50 ° C. to 70 ° C. for 0.5 hour, and maintaining the temperature at 70 ° C. for 0.5 hour is performed again. When the temperature is lowered to 50 ° C., the same cycle is repeated. By incorporating this cycle into the warming process,
There is an advantage that the oxidation and yellowing phenomenon of the rice kept at 70 ° C. can be prevented as much as possible. However, when a process at 50 ° C., which is a relatively low heat retention temperature, exists for a long time, germs and fungi easily grow.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, in this heat retention cycle, when the rice is kept at 50 ° C., the mechanism of the present invention operates in a cycle of 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off, and the fan blows ozone and negative ions into the pot. Is sent. In addition, when a person opens the lid of a rice cooker for reasons such as eating rice while keeping warm, it is automatically turned on for one minute regardless of the temperature of the rice.

Here, the rice cookers of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were used to cook five-piece rice, respectively, and then automatically proceeded to a warming step. Three hours after the completion of the rice cooking, the rice cookers were cooked for five minutes. Table 1 shows a comparison between the yellowing of the rice and the bacterial count when the lid was opened and the temperature was further kept for 12 hours.
The degree of yellowing of rice is represented by a b * value that is a measure of yellowing among L * a * b * values measured according to JISZ8729, and a larger value indicates more yellowing. . In addition, the number of bacteria can be determined by measuring the heat resistance of rice (Bacillus Stearothermophilus) generally found on the surface of rice.
The number of individuals in g was measured, and 1 * 10 5 / rice 1
It is said that when bacteria grow to the order of g, humans feel a putrefactive odor. As shown in Table 1, in Example 1, the yellowing and the number of bacteria were smaller than those in Comparative Example 1, and the rice was kept fresh even after 12 hours of keeping the temperature.
