The ultra-high pressure vessel is moved to the loading station, pressurizing station, and unloading station by intermittent movement of the swivel arm. First, at the loading station, the upper lid is opened, and the article to be cooked is loaded into the ultra-high pressure vessel. It is loaded via means and after loading, the top lid is closed. At the time of loading, depending on the properties of the article to be cooked, it is used as it is, or is wrapped in a packaging material (bag, tube, capsule, container, etc.) made of a flexible material having suitability for the article to be cooked and the liquid for pressurization, and used for pressurization. Load with liquid. For example, fruit juices,
For an article to be cooked with good fluidity such as liquor, it is loaded as it is in an ultrahigh pressure container, and for an article with poor fluidity to be cooked together with a pressurizing liquid. However, those which can be easily separated after pressure treatment (for example, solid masses) are not packaged and loaded together with the liquid for pressurization, and those which are not easily separated are packaged and loaded together with the liquid for pressurization. It is to let.

In the pressurizing station, the article to be cooked loaded in the ultra-high pressure vessel is pressurized in the ultra-high pressure vessel. This pressurization is performed by pressing the lower lid / pressurizing piston of the ultrahigh pressure container toward the upper lid side by a hydraulic cylinder. By this pressing, the food in the ultra-high pressure container, together with the pressurizing liquid,
Alternatively, it is compressed independently, and a uniform hydrostatic pressure acts from each direction according to the principle of Pascal. The magnitude of the hydrostatic pressure is 5,000 to 10,000 atm (1 atm = 1.033 kg / cm 2 ).

The pressurizing station is provided with a frame to withstand such an ultra-high pressure. That is, prior to applying a pressing force to the ultrahigh-pressure container that has been moved to the pressurizing station, the frame is advanced by the insertion / removal means, or the ultrahigh-pressure container is advanced toward the frame to move the ultrahigh-pressure container to the outside. , And mainly backs up the ultra-high pressure container from above and below, and applies a pressing force in this state.

Because the food to be cooked in the pressurizing station is subjected to a uniform and ultrahigh hydrostatic pressure from each direction, the protein is denatured and gelled, the starch is gelatinized, and the lipid is emulsified. Then, the microorganisms and bacteria lose their activity, die, and are killed. This pressurization processing time varies depending on the quantity and physical properties of the article to be cooked, but is performed in a shorter time than other conventional processing methods, and in particular, the fresh taste of the material is lower than that of the conventional processing method. It has excellent features that it does not impair nutrients such as odor, fragrance and vitamins and does not generate toxic factors.

After a lapse of a predetermined processing time, the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic cylinder is released, the lower lid / pressurizing piston is lowered, the pressure inside the ultrahigh pressure vessel is reduced, and the pressure is returned to the original pressure (atmospheric pressure). And it is moved to a removal station, an upper lid is opened, and a to-be-cooked product is taken out from an ultrahigh-pressure container. Thereafter, the food is transferred to the loading station via the washing station or directly to the loading station, where the next loading of the article to be cooked is performed. By setting the number of each station and the number of the ultrahigh-pressure containers to be the same, and performing each operation in each station, continuous processing can be performed.

If a communication path and a check valve that communicates with the inside and outside of the ultra-high pressure vessel are provided at the center of the lower lid in the ultra-high pressure vessel, the food to be cooked is automatically sucked out of the ultra-high pressure vessel using a vacuum pump or the like. In this case, the inside of the ultrahigh-pressure container is not evacuated to make suction difficult, and the cleaning liquid after the cleaning can be easily discharged.

Let me. The check valve (10) is provided at the open end of the communication path (9) inside the extra-high pressure vessel (A), and controls the flow of fluid from inside the extra-high pressure vessel (A) to the outside by its own weight and fluid pressure. The seal packing (11) and the check valve (11) when the check valve (10) is closed are used to prevent leakage during ultra-high pressure treatment and allow fluid flow from the outside to the inside. The stopper (12) at the time of opening of (10) is installed in the corresponding part of the lower lid / pressurizing piston (3).

When a liquid is used as the transport medium, it is preferable that the food to be cooked be supplied in a state of being wrapped in a flexible packaging material.
Depending on the product to be cooked, it may be supplied without a packaging material. For example, when the seasoning juice is allowed to permeate the product to be cooked under ultra-high pressure, these may be sealed and placed in a packaging material, but the seasoning juice may be used as a transport medium and naked.
