Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooked food product subjected to an ultra-high pressure treatment, and more particularly, to a cooked food product which is packed in a container after being cooked, distributed and sold for use as food. The present invention relates to foods whose expiration date can be significantly extended. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, cooked prepared foods, bento boxes, and the like, which have been sold in stores such as supermarkets and so-called large retail stores and convenience stores, which are packed in containers, covered with simple lids, and simply packaged, have been used. Various other foods and, after cooking, packed in containers, covered with simple lids, simply wrapped, distributed and sold for lunch, sushi, and even lunches commonly sold as `` ekiben '' Many cooked foods such as sandwiches are found. However, the cooked food in such a sales form is not in a completely hermetically sealed package like processed food and has not been subjected to sufficient commercial sterilization treatment, so that the distribution and storage temperature is 10 ° C.
Even if it is kept below, so-called chilled distribution storage, the expiration date is a short food of at most about 24 hours. At present, as a means of extending the expiration date of these foods, additives such as preservatives are added at the time of production to suppress the growth of microorganisms and extend the expiration date from about 24 hours to about 48 hours. . [0003] Today, as consumers' health consciousness and natural and natural consciousness are increasing, it is desired to use preservatives and the like as little as possible for foods. But,
Currently available methods for preparing cooked foods have limitations in extending the expiration date without the addition of preservatives. An object of the present invention is to provide a cooked food which can reduce the number of microorganisms and can significantly extend the expiration date by chilled distribution storage. [0004] It is known that keeping food at an ultra-high pressure of several thousand atmospheres can lead to denaturation of proteins and inactivation and death of microorganisms. Various attempts have been made to use it as a means of cooking, processing, and storing food, and the present inventors have already succeeded in putting it into practical use in jams, fruit sauces, and fruit jellies utilizing ultrahigh-pressure treatment (Japanese Patent No. 2927888). No., Patent No. 2
No. 945070 and Japanese Patent No. 30097762). Thereafter, the present inventors have conducted further intensive studies, and as a result, have found that the object can be achieved by performing an ultra-high pressure treatment on a preservative-free cooked food, and have completed the present invention. That is, the present invention provides a cooked food product obtained by subjecting a packaged cooked food product to an ultra-high pressure processing. The cooked food of the present invention can be extended from a conventional 24-48 hour expiration date to 1-2 weeks by chilled distribution storage despite the addition of no preservative. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The cooked foods to which the present invention is applied are not particularly limited, and any cooked foods that are cooked, packed in a container, distributed and sold for use as food are provided. For example, various types of lunches, sushi, noodles, side dishes, sandwiches, etc. are mentioned, and their raw materials, prescriptions, cooking methods and the like are not particularly limited. In the present invention, it is preferable that no preservative is added. However, if necessary, a preservative may be added, and such a food is also included in the scope of the present invention. The container to be used can be filled with a desired food as long as it is a flowable container that can be externally pressurized.
Any of them may be used, and examples thereof include various plastic containers suitable for such pressurization. [0006] In the present invention, desired foods cooked according to a conventional method are packed in a container, sealed, and then stored at room temperature for 5 hours.
0-1000MPa, preferably 300-600MPa
An ultra-high pressure treatment is carried out under the pressure of a for 1 to 1800 minutes, preferably 1 to 30 minutes. The ultra-high pressure treatment can be performed using a known apparatus. If the pressure is too low or the treatment time is too short, the intended effect is not achieved. It is not desirable from the viewpoint of economy. [0007] Thus, the prepared food prepared by the method of the present invention can be edible in the same manner as a conventional prepared food, and, as described above, can be stored in a normal chilled distribution storage (maintained at 10 ° C or lower). Distribution and storage)
The expiration date from 4 hours to 48 hours can be extended to 1 to 2 weeks. [0008] The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Foods marketed as side dishes and sushi products,
The microbial behavior (change in the number of general bacteria (cells / g food)) between the food and the food subjected to the ultra-high pressure treatment was examined. Each sample was placed in a plastic film bag (aluminum-deposited PET 12μ / nylon 15μ / CP) to prevent contamination.
P60μ) and sealed. In the ultra-high pressure treatment, after sealing, the specimen was placed in an ultra-high pressure treatment apparatus and pressurized at 400 MPa for 15 minutes to obtain a test sample. The daily storage temperature is
The chilled temperature zone was 10 ° C. or less, which is the same as that of commercial products. The sample subjected to the ultra-high pressure treatment was subjected to an appearance and a sensory test. The results of the comparison are shown in the following tables. Example 1-Potato salad A: untreated product (pieces / g) B: ultra-high pressure treated product (pieces / g) Example 2-Pasta salad A: Untreated product (pcs / g) B: Ultra-high pressure treated product (pcs / g) Example 3-Vinegar Pig A: Untreated product (pcs / g) B: Ultra-high pressure treated product (pcs / g) Example 4 Salad Maki Sushi A: Untreated product (pieces / g) B: Ultra-high pressure treated product (pieces / g) Example 5-Shrimp Chirashi Sushi A: Untreated product (pieces / g) B: Ultra-high pressure treated product (pieces / g) Example (6)-Oyakodon A: Untreated product (pieces / g) B: Ultra-high pressure treated product (pieces / g) As shown in the above tables, the untreated product showed a significant increase in the number of bacteria after 3 days, and was not ready for feeding. On the other hand, when subjected to the ultra-high pressure treatment, almost all the microorganisms died immediately after pressurization, and no increase in the number of bacteria was observed even after 14 days. Also, there is no change in the color tone and appearance from the start, the change in flavor due to sensuality,
No abnormalities were observed. As described above, according to the present invention,
By subjecting the cooked food to an ultra-high pressure treatment, a safe cooked food having an extended expiration date without using additives such as preservatives is provided.
