(Prior Art) Buckwheat flour is made by crushing buckwheat berries into powder using, for example, a stone mill. This buckwheat flour is edible as soba noodles after adding binders, etc. However, compared to other flours, buckwheat flour deteriorates to a greater degree over time, such as being susceptible to insects and oxidation. It is a powder that tends to smudge or turn black, and has poor storage stability. Therefore, in order to prevent the soba flour from deteriorating or losing its flavor, when making hand-made soba noodles, buckwheat flour is ground to make soba noodles.

しかしながら、このようにそのつど蕎麦粉を作成するの
は手間がかかるので、通常は既成の蕎麦粉を用いて手軽
に謂をつくる場合が多い、また、大量生産するような場

However, it is time-consuming to make buckwheat flour each time, so it is common to easily make buckwheat flour using ready-made buckwheat flour. They purchase and use buckwheat flour.

(発明が解決しようとする課題) 上述したように、蕎麦粉はかなり変質しやすくデリケー

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As mentioned above, buckwheat flour is quite susceptible to deterioration and has a delicate quality, so when it is distributed as buckwheat flour, it must be treated in advance to prevent deterioration. It is necessary to keep it. As described above, the reason why buckwheat flour tends to deteriorate is thought to be because buckwheat flour has a higher moisture content than other powders and because it contains a large amount of fungi such as soil bacteria.

Therefore, in order to improve the storage stability of buckwheat flour, conventional methods have been to heat and dry the buckwheat flour to reduce the amount of water contained in the buckwheat flour, or to add alcohol to the buckwheat flour to kill the fungi or remove the fungi. It also suppresses the reproduction of. However, because conventional heating methods heat the buckwheat flour at a fairly high temperature, the buckwheat flour is easily oxidized by heating, and the buckwheat flour turns dark, acquires a burnt odor, and loses its flavor and aroma. There is a problem.

また、アルコールを用いた場合も茶色に変色してしまい
蕎麦粉の風味が失われるという問題点がある。
Also, when alcohol is used, there is a problem that the buckwheat flour turns brown and loses its flavor.

In addition, even for products that are distributed as raw soba, in order to improve the shelf life, it is better to have fewer fungi in the buckwheat flour used as an ingredient, so that it has a longer shelf life and is less prone to spoilage. Therefore, from this point of view as well, it is necessary to sterilize the raw material high wheat flour.

なお、蕎麦粉に限らず小麦粉等にあっても保存性を高め

Note that it is useful not only for buckwheat flour but also for wheat flour and the like to sterilize it in advance in order to improve its shelf life.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to dry edible powders such as buckwheat flour or wheat flour without causing deterioration in quality, and to reduce the amount of food contained in the powder. To provide a method for sterilizing edible powder and buckwheat flour, which can effectively sterilize fungi and provide good quality edible powder and buckwheat flour.

That is, edible powder such as buckwheat flour or wheat flour is stored in a vacuum container, and the edible powder is dried by heating the edible powder by irradiating the edible powder with microwaves while evacuating the vacuum container. It is characterized by sterilization, and the buckwheat flour is made by storing the buckwheat flour in a vacuum container, and irradiating the buckwheat flour with microwaves while evacuating the vacuum container and maintaining the temperature of the buckwheat flour at 55 degrees Celsius or less. It is characterized by drying and sterilizing buckwheat flour by heating it.

In order to efficiently dry edible powder, it is more effective to apply high temperatures, but as mentioned above, excessive heating of buckwheat flour causes the flavor and aroma of buckwheat to be lost and the quality of the buckwheat deteriorates. Therefore, in this embodiment, the edible powder is dried at a lower temperature by microwave heating in a vacuum. The water vapor pressure in vacuum is:

30℃−−32mm1g、  40℃−−55mm1g

When drying buckwheat flour, microwave heating under reduced pressure of about 100 mmHg allows for effective drying without overheating the buckwheat flour and without deteriorating the quality of the buckwheat flour. Of course, by increasing the degree of vacuum, drying can be performed at a lower temperature.

By further heating the buckwheat flour once the drying has progressed, the moisture in microorganisms such as fungi contained in the buckwheat flour evaporates explosively, thereby sterilizing the buckwheat flour.

In addition, in the present invention, microwaves are used as a heating source, but these microwaves have a greater ability to penetrate into powder than ordinary hot wire heaters, infrared heaters, etc., and can evenly and uniformly coat edible powder. It has the characteristic that it can be heated to Furthermore, when using microwaves, there are advantages such as being able to start heating instantaneously and being able to selectively heat water, making it particularly suitable for use as a heat source for drying and sterilizing buckwheat flour. I can do it.

(実施例) 以下、本発明の殺菌方法の実施例につい−C説明する。(Example) Examples of the sterilization method of the present invention will be described below.

First, buckwheat flour obtained as a powder by a normal processing method is stored in a vacuum container and irradiated with microwaves while being evacuated. At this time, the temperature of the buckwheat flour is controlled so that it does not rise above 40 degrees Celsius, and the water that evaporates from the buckwheat flour is constantly discharged using a vacuum pump while drying.

In addition, when sterilizing buckwheat flour, it is preferable to heat the buckwheat flour at an upper limit of about 55°C to prevent denaturation, but when obtaining pregelatinized buckwheat flour, heating to 55°C or higher is recommended. I don't mind if you do.

As shown in the table above, the fungi in this buckwheat flour have been reduced through sterilization, so the shelf life of the buckwheat flour is greatly improved. Furthermore, when used in buckwheat products, since the products contain only a small amount of fungi, they are less susceptible to spoilage and have a longer shelf life.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the method for sterilizing edible powder of the present invention, efficient drying is possible by heating the edible powder under reduced pressure in a vacuum container, and by irradiating it with microwaves. Because it is heated, the edible powder is heated evenly and evenly. Also,
Even during sterilization, the whole edible powder is sterilized uniformly by the penetrating power of microwaves, and the sterilization effect is extremely large, and the storage stability of buckwheat flour, which is said to have poor storage stability, can be greatly improved.
