Detailed description of the invention

  The technical field of the present invention relates to the field of ionization treatment methods and apparatus for ionization of cereals such as brown rice, white rice wheat, beans and germinated brown rice, sprouted wheat, and the preparation of germinated cereals. .

Background, technology

  Conventionally, in this type of ionization processing method and apparatus, it is intended to provide high quality, no-wash / no-immersed cereals and germinated cereals by applying an alternating high potential to the cereals for ionization. It is.

Conventionally, brown rice is not consumed in place of white rice despite its high nutritional value because it is hard and difficult to cook, and is not delicious. Today, improvements are required. Although polished rice is inferior to brown rice in nutritional value, it needs to be adjusted to high-efficiency, inexpensive, high-quality unwashed / no-immersed rice that does not require washing / soaking before cooking. ing. In addition, wheat is required to be improved in quality to be supplied as a high-quality raw material for bread and shochu. Beans are required to be supplied as a high-quality protein source. Recently, in addition to deliciousness, conversion to functional foods has been actively demanded from a health-oriented perspective. In particular, germinated cereals produce a large amount of γ-aminobutyric acid GABA, which acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, as well as improving memory, improving hypertension, activating kidney and liver functions, stabilizing the mind, and anticancer effects. It is attracting attention as a functional substance. In addition, minerals are easily absorbed, amino acids are converted into umami components, and starch is converted into a sweet component, which is denatured into a soft and easy-to-eat grain. A typical example is germinated brown rice, and in addition, germinated oats, germinated soybeans, and many others. In recent years, there has been a demand for conversion to high-quality functional grain quality that is easy to eat and has high nutritional value. In view of this situation, the purpose of the present invention is to improve the quality of cereal substances by ionizing cereals, and to produce washable and non-immersable cereals and enzyme activities within cereals, resulting in high nutritional value. The purpose is to provide a good grain quality, such as expressing functional ingredients.

Means for the Invention to Solve

In order to achieve the above object, the grain ionization method according to claim 1 prepares grains of higher quality, which can be washed and not soaked, by adjusting conditions for applying an alternating high potential to the grains. It is characterized by that. For example, brown rice grains will be described as an example. First, a bar electrode is inserted in a state where the brown rice grains are conditioned to 15% moisture and 10 tons are stored in a storage tank, and an AC high potential of 600 V to 4500 V 50/60 Hz is applied for 20 minutes. It is achieved by energizing for 20 minutes at intervals and repeatedly performing ionization treatment three times. If this is increased to 20 tons, the same result can be obtained by energizing for 22 minutes at 22 minute intervals and repeating three times. The ionized brown rice grains thus adjusted flow smoothly without any clogging in a distribution circuit such as a transfer machine or a transfer pipe, and are safely and continuously transferred to a rice mill equipped with an ionization apparatus.
Regardless of the rice milling method of the rice milling machine, various rice milling machines can be made as a rice milling machine equipped with an ionization processing device having plate-like electrodes.

Can promote. The degree of germination is preferably about 0.5 to 1.0 mm. At the same time, the enzyme activity of glutamate carboxylase present in the brown rice grains is evoked, and a large amount of functional substance γ-aminobutyric acid GABA is rapidly produced from glutamic acid. At the same time, the germinated brown rice grains can be converted into functional brown rice grains with soft edible taste and sweetness and high nutritional value. In this way, germination grains can be produced effectively even in grains other than brown rice by ionization treatment, and high added value grains can be obtained.

  In order to achieve the same purpose, the grain ionization method according to claim 3 applies high AC potential through a plate-like electrode attached to a grain refiner to ionize the grains to prepare high quality fine grains. It is characterized by that. For example, high-quality ionized polished rice grains can be obtained as described in “0004”, in which the brown rice grains of the conditioned grain have a uniform shape and a good yield without cracking.

In order to achieve the same purpose, the grain ionization apparatus according to claim 4 is a plate in which AC high potential is safely covered with a high-resistance electrode or a high-insulating material without being insulated from the ground with an insulator. It is characterized by comprising an electronic additional device configured to be applied to an electrode such as an electrode. In addition, it has a control panel that can control the applied voltage, application time, and application interval of AC high potential, dramatically improving the fluidity of cereals in the cereal process, and in the cereal process It is characterized by being an energy-saving grain ionization apparatus that can reduce pressure and grain stress and reduce power consumption by 10% or more.

1) Higher quality washing-free and non-immersible charging by adjusting the applied voltage, application time, and application interval of AC high potential according to the type of grain and the amount of processing, and performing charging treatment. Can be prepared into polished rice grains. This charged polished rice grain ensures high quality, high freshness, and deliciousness, leading to a significant reduction in cooking time in cooking rice. 2) Fluidity is increased by charging the grains by applying an alternating high potential, and there is no clogging during transportation. It is possible to reduce the pressure and stress of the rice milling machine, to suppress heat generation, and to produce high-quality rice grains with good yield and energy saving. Using this as a raw material, it is possible to produce high-quality cooked rice and liquor.
3) The charging device using the AC high potential application of the present invention can apply a high potential without providing an insulator with the ground, and adjusts and controls the application voltage, application time, and application interval of the high potential. It can be easily operated because it has a configuration having an AC high potential generator.

  An example is given and the best mode for carrying out the invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of the grain charging device of the present invention.

With reference to FIG. 1, a description will be given of a brown rice electrification apparatus for refining brown rice into polished rice using brown rice as an example.
10 ton of brown rice grain 1 conditioned to a predetermined moisture of 15% is stored in a storage tank 2 of the brown rice grain charging device 13, and an AC high potential of 3000V, 50Hz is applied to the bar-shaped electrode 3 mounted at the center portion at intervals of 20 minutes. The energization was applied for 20 minutes and the brown rice was charged three times repeatedly. The AC high potential was fed from the AC high potential generator 4 through the insulated conductor 5. This charged brown rice grain 1 is passed through a charged rice milling device 6 to which an AC high potential of 3000 V 50 Hz is applied through an electrode 8 to carry out charged rice milling. Purified.
As a result, in this brown rice charging process, the flow was smooth without clogging during the transfer of the brown rice grains. In the process of electrification of milled rice in the rice milling device, the pressure of the milled rice is reduced, the temperature rise of the brown rice grains is suppressed to 10 ° C or less, and the power consumption is also less than 10%. It could be refined into charged polished rice grains.

As a result, the charged polished rice grains obtained with a high yield of 98% or more compared to ordinary polished rice grains are easy to separate and have no wrinkle adhesion, and function as washed white rice that is white and glossy. In addition, high-quality washed rice and non-immersed charged polished rice grains having a uniform shape, long shelf life and no generation of pests and high water absorption were obtained. See Table 1.

In the case of electrified rice, the yield is as high as 98% or more in the case of normal rice. Yield is low. Glossy Whiteness inferior shape Uniformity Water absorption with inconsistency Good Inferior storage stability (8 months) High quality, no cereal worms, slightly oxidized odor, heat generation during cereal worm generation Rice temperature rise low 10 ° C or less Temperature rise High overall power consumption Reduced by more than 10% compared to normal power consumption

Compared with ordinary polished rice grains, the charged polished rice grains can save or omit the washing process and the dipping process during cooking, and the water absorption time can be greatly shortened. This charged polished rice grain has excellent characteristics such as standing better than ordinary cooked rice, rich in hardness and stickiness, excellent water retention, not yellowing, and can be stored as it is for a long time. See Table 2.
