[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a mass-producible dehydration method that efficiently removes moisture from food by blocking air without changing the taste of the food through simple operations. [Conventional technology] Moisture in food can reduce the freshness of food, destroy it by freezing,
This causes various types of quality deterioration, such as the occurrence of drips during thawing. Generally, methods for removing moisture from food include:
Methods of drying food by blowing low-humidity air through it, and methods of dehydrating food by contacting it with highly osmotic substances such as table salt or sucrose, have been used, but both methods change the texture and taste of the food. It was not possible to remove only moisture without changing the quality of the material. After that, if only the moisture is removed without changing the quality of the food, it will maintain the freshness of the food, prevent freezing damage, improve shape retention, reduce heating energy and time during cooking, and reduce the generation of peroxides due to heating. Because of this advantage, methods of dehydrating foods at low temperatures using osmotic pressure differences have become popular. This method is used, for example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-58124, USP-4383376
This method uses a special sheet-like material that combines a high osmotic pressure substance and a semipermeable membrane, and wraps food in this sheet to dehydrate the food. However, this method is unsuitable for automation using machines, requires manpower, and is extremely inefficient. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a food dehydration method that can be easily mechanized, does not require manpower, and is suitable for handling large amounts of food. do. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made to achieve the above object, and its gist is to package food with a semipermeable membrane and bring the surface of the food into close contact with the semipermeable membrane, This is immersed in a liquid high osmotic substance to dehydrate it, and at least a portion of the liquid high osmotic substance that has absorbed water and other substances is concentrated under reduced pressure at appropriate times to remove water and other absorbed impurities. The present invention is a food dehydration method in which the water concentration in the liquid high osmolarity substance, which is returned to its original state and brought into contact with the food through a semipermeable membrane, is maintained at a predetermined concentration or lower. [Specific structure and operation of the invention] The present invention will be explained in detail below. Foods targeted by the method of the present invention include raw seafood, fresh animal foods such as meat, and plant foods such as vegetables and fruits, especially foods whose preservability is increased by dehydration and whose freeze resistance is improved. Foods with improved taste, foods with improved cooking properties, etc. In addition, the semipermeable membrane used allows water and molecules approximately the same size as water to pass through, but does not allow polymeric substances to pass through.
Use materials that are safe even in direct contact with food.
For example, low-stretchability vinylon film, ordinary cellophane, collodion film, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer film, etc. are suitable. These films are
Water and unnecessary components in food such as ammonia, trimethylamine, dimethylamine, formaldehyde, and salt pass through it, but active ingredients such as proteins, sugars, minerals, and vitamins hardly pass through. In addition, liquid high osmotic substances must not substantially pass through the semipermeable membrane, but since it is not possible to completely prevent the permeation, they cannot be used as foods, food additives, or food processing materials. , those that have been approved for use will be used. For example, concentrated aqueous solutions of starch syrup, sucrose, glucose, isomerized sugar, fructose, oligosaccharides, propylene glycol (PG), etc.
There are no particular limitations as long as it is liquid and has high osmotic pressure. Next, FIG. 1 shows an example of a process for carrying out the method of the present invention. First, the food 1 is packaged using a semipermeable membrane packaging machine 2. In order to improve the adhesion between the semipermeable membrane and the food to increase dehydration efficiency, and to prevent air from entering and causing buoyancy, vacuum packaging is used. be done. Next, it is led to the contact tank 3 and immersed in the liquid high osmotic pressure substance stored therein. After a predetermined period of time has passed, the dehydrated product 4 is packaged in the semi-permeable membrane and
The liquid high osmotic pressure substance and the substance having a higher boiling point than water that has passed through the semipermeable membrane and transferred to the liquid high osmotic pressure substance are attached to the outer surface and taken out. On the other hand, the liquid high osmotic pressure substance in the contact tank 3 is
Moisture and other water that has passed through the semipermeable membrane from the food 1 migrates and is gradually diluted, but at least a portion of it is constantly extracted and led to the vacuum concentrator 5, where water and other water, such as ammonia, trimethylamine, formaldehyde, etc., are removed. removed. At this time, it is necessary to prevent the internal temperature from increasing more than necessary when the pressure is reduced, but the latent heat of vaporization of water allows the temperature to be maintained at a low temperature without using a cooler.
The liquid high osmotic pressure substance from which water and other substances have been removed is circulated to the contact tank 3, and the water and other substances in the liquid high osmotic pressure substance in the contact tank 3 are kept below a predetermined concentration. Further, the removed water and other water are easily collected by a collector 6 such as a cooling device or a shower, and then treated by a general wastewater treatment device 7 such as an activated sludge treatment device. Among the substances other than water that transfer from the food to liquid high osmotic pressure substances, ammonia, trimethylamine, dimethylamine, and formaldehyde have lower boiling points than water and cause bad odors.
Even 1ppm is a problem. However, it is necessary to promptly remove the substances that cause these malodorous substances from the liquid high osmotic pressure substance, but they can be easily removed by reducing the pressure. In addition, amino acids, peptides,
Even if phosphates, sulfates, and common salt accumulate in liquid high-osmotic substances, they do not have much of an adverse effect; their boiling point is higher than that of water, so most of them adhere to the semipermeable membranes used to package foods. Go outside. Therefore, there is an equilibrium between the amount that permeates the semipermeable membrane and the amount that adheres and leaves the system, but the concentration is 0.5 to 1.0 wt%, and it is usually not concentrated any more and is not added to food. There will be no negative impact. That is, liquid high osmotic pressure substances can be managed using the amount of water they contain as an index. As is clear from the above description, the method of the present invention is easy to automate and is suitable for mass production. [Example] Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to Examples. Example 1 1 kg of chicken breast was placed in a vinylon film bag (LH-18 manufactured by Tokyo Cellophane Paper Co., Ltd.) and the thickness was adjusted.
Form into a 30 mm flat plate and add 50% sucrose aqueous solution 2 at 5℃.
It was soaked in water for 16 hours and then taken out. The weight of this dehydrated chicken breast was 943 g. In this case,
Table 1 shows the substances that permeated the semipermeable membrane and transferred to liquid high osmotic substances and their amounts.

Example 2 739 kg of raw mackerel fillet was placed in the same vinylon film bag as in Example 1, vacuum packaged, and then immersed in 100 c.c. of propylene glycol (manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.) and kept at 1.3°C for 72 hours. , took it out.
