FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing the method of the sixth embodiment.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail for each example.

FIG. 1 is an external view showing a part of an oak tree.
The oak tree 12 buds in early spring (around March), and the buds 16 grow with leaves. The branch 16 is fed with nutrients sucked from the roots by the oak tree 12 and nutrients made of leaves by photosynthesis. The branches 16 are blossomed, and the fruits 14 are fruited in autumn. Nutrients sucked up from the roots and nutrients made by photosynthesis of the leaves give fruit 14 of good quality.

FIG. 2 is an external view showing a part of an oak tree after fruit collection.
In the present invention, the cocoon branch 16 grown by attaching a few fruits 14 to one branch 16 is selected for collecting sap. A small amount of about 1 to 3 bunches is preferred for attaching fruits. This is because not only the fruit but also the branch 16 has enough nutrients. This is because these branches are suitable for collecting nutrient-rich sap. Fruit 14 is harvested around July-September. After harvesting the fruit 14, it is left as it is until the deciduous time around December. Until the time of fallen leaves, the branches 16 absorb enough nutrients from the roots and leaves. After the fallen leaves, the branches 16 are pruned leaving a portion necessary for sprouting of the next year. This is as shown in FIG. Thereafter, the oak tree 12 enters a hibernation period until spring.

  Conventionally, the pruned branch 16 has been discarded as it is. However, in order to produce the fruit 14, the nutrients sucked up from the root as described above and the nutrients made by photosynthesis with the leaves are distributed throughout the branches 16. That is, when the fruit 14 is ripened, not only the fruit 14 but also the entire branch 16 is in a state containing abundant nutrients. Until the leaves fall and the branches are pruned, nutrients from the roots and leaves are accumulated in the trunk and branches of the tree. In the present invention, the sap 18 is collected from the branch 16 filled with nutrients.

FIG. 3 is a view showing a cut surface of the branch 16.
The pruned branch 16 that has been pruned off is first thoroughly washed with water to remove dirt and remove pests and the like. Thereafter, the epidermis 20 of the branch 16 is peeled off. As shown in FIG. 3, the branch 16 has several skins 20 configured to protect the periphery of the core 28. Remove this carefully with a knife.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the process of cutting the branch 16.
The branch 16 with the skin 20 peeled as described above is cut into branch pieces 26 having a length of 5 centimeters or less. In the case of a branch having a diameter of about 5 mm to 1 cm, it is appropriate to align the length to about 1 cm to 3 cm.

FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of a container for extracting sap with water or alcohol.
According to the experiment, there was a significant difference in the amount of extracted sap after that when the skin was peeled and when it was not peeled. When the branch piece 26, which has been cut short by peeling off the cocoon skin, is immersed in a container 36 filled with water or alcohol, the sap 18 exudes little by little from the cut portion of the branch piece 26. Then, if the branch piece 26 is removed, the sap 18 diluted with water or alcohol can be obtained.

  The sap 18 of persimmon can be extracted by dipping in a solution of 50% water or ethyl alcohol, and can be used as it is for beverages or cosmetics. The salmon sap 18 contains various nutrients in addition to collagen, and can be used for cream, lotion, milky lotion, soap, shampoo and the like. It can also be used as a food additive. In addition to selling the solution from which the sap 18 has been extracted to the processing plant for these products, it is also possible to sell the branch piece 26 and the container 36 filled with the solution.

FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of the steamer.
As shown in the figure, the branch piece 26 is accommodated in the steamer 30 and steamed. When the branch piece 26 is steamed using the steamer 30, bacteria attached to the branch piece 26 can be killed, and subsequent processing and storage of the branch piece 26 are facilitated. Furthermore, the tissue of the branch piece 26 can be softened by the steaming process, and the tree branch 16 can overflow from the cut portion of the branch piece 26.

FIG. 7 is a longitudinal sectional view of an apparatus showing another method for heat-treating the branch piece 26.
In this example, the branch piece 26 is accommodated in the pan 32 together with the water 22 and heated by the stove 34. As a result, the sap 18 overflowing from the branch piece 26 can be sterilized by heat, dissolved in the water 22, and sent directly to the next step. For example, the water 22 can be packed in a bottle (not shown) and shipped to a cosmetic or food factory.

  In addition, as shown on the right side of FIG. 7, the branch piece 26 can be pulverized by, for example, a mixer to quickly take out the sap. In this case, after water is heated, branch fragments are removed by a filtration device or a centrifuge to obtain an aqueous solution of sap.

FIG. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view of the storage 24 for storing the bamboo branch 16.
The sap 18 can be extracted by immersing the branch piece 26 from which the skin has been peeled off in water or the like. However, when the sap 18 comes into contact with the outside air, the freshness decreases. Since the branch 16 is pruned in autumn, if the sap 18 is extracted immediately after pruning, it is not easy to maintain the freshness of the sap 18 to meet the demand in the summer of the following year. Therefore, the branch 16 in a state where the cut skin is not peeled off is stored.

  The branches 16 that have been washed sufficiently to remove pests are stored in the storage 24. Storage may be in a cool and dark place. It is even better if it is stored frozen. When necessary, it is removed and the epidermis is peeled off and cut into branch pieces 26. The subsequent processing is as already described. When the pruned branch 16 is stabbed in the ground, the root grows and the bud appears in the next year. That is, as long as the viable branch 16 remains, the internal cells can be stored alive for a long period of time. Thereby, fresh sap 18 can be extracted even if half a year or more has passed since pruning. What is necessary is just to extract according to the shipping schedule of the sap 18.

FIG. 9 is an explanatory view for explaining a sap shipping method.
Bacteria are likely to adhere to the branch piece 26 during the treatment process. For example, when the branch piece 26 is steamed with steam and soaked in water and left in the air as it is, some start fermentation. This will alter the sap 18. Therefore, for example, the branch piece 26 is accommodated in the bottle 38 as shown in FIG. 9 together with water, and in this state, the branch piece 26 is accommodated in the steamer 30 shown in FIG.

  Thus, the bottle 38, water and the branch piece 26 are heated with steam and sterilized so that the branch piece 26 can be easily extracted, and then sealed with a lid before cooling. If the sap 18 is sealed without being exposed to the outside air, alteration by bacteria can be prevented. Further, a more complete sterilization treatment can be performed by a method in which the branch piece 26 is cleaned and sterilized with alcohol, and then heated to remove the alcohol and soak in water. If sterilization can be reliably performed, the branch piece 26 is pulverized with a mixer or the like to extract the sap 18 and then filtered to obtain the sap 18 dissolved in water.

  By the way, if the branch piece 26 is immersed in the water 22 in the container 36, the sap 18 will ooze out from the cut end of the branch piece 26 over time. As shown in the figure, the sap 18 contains a lot of minute bubbles 40. If these bubbles 40 are left unattended, they are gradually connected and become larger. When the lid of the container 36 is opened and left, the bubbles 40 gradually disappear.

Therefore, it can be seen that the sap 18 in which a lot of minute bubbles 40 are mixed is fresher.
That is, if the container 36 is sealed and sold with the branch piece 26 contained in the container 36, the fresh sap 18 can be delivered to the user. Moreover, if the state of the bubble 40 is seen, it can be determined whether or not it is fresh.

According to the above method, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) Since the collection time of the sap 18 was changed after collecting the berries, it does not affect the growth of the berries.
(2) The sap 18 containing abundant nutrients for maturing the fruit of the cocoon can be collected.
(3) Since the branch 16 that is pruned and discarded is effectively used, the amount of waste is reduced and the cost of waste treatment can be reduced.
(4) There will be no damage to the branch 16 that will bear the fruit of the next season.
(5) If the pruned branch 16 is preserved and the sap 18 is extracted when necessary, the fresh sap 18 can be sent to the market over a long period of time.

FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a method according to the sixth embodiment.
In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the branch piece 26 of the oak tree 12 is used has been mainly described in consideration of preservation. In this embodiment, a method for extracting the sap at once from a large number of branches will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, first, the branch 16 from which the skin has been peeled is sufficiently sterilized with steam or the like. Thereafter, the branch piece 26 cut to an appropriate length is put into the mixer 42. With this mixer 42, the branch piece 26 is crushed until it becomes a fine piece. At this time, clean water is supplied from the water storage tank 44 and mixed. Alcohol may be supplied instead of water.

  When filtered from the mixer 42 to the filtration device 46, the sap dissolved in water or alcohol and the above-mentioned fragmented branch can be separated and taken out into the product container 48. A large amount of sap can be extracted by this method. After the product container 48 is stored in a sterilizing atmosphere, it is sent to the processing step and the bottling step. Further, a mixture of wood fiber and birch sap is obtained by crushing the peeled branches with a mixer 42 until they are shredded and mixing with water. This can be used as it is for livestock such as cattle and pigs. This bait contains a large amount of collagen. Therefore, high-quality meat rich in collagen can be obtained from livestock fed this feed.
