2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, food sterilization methods include washing with water,
It has been common practice to wash or sterilize by washing with hot water, heating, or administration of chemicals. However, bacteria cannot be sufficiently washed by washing with water or hot water.
57 cases and food poisoning caused by Escherichia coli, budococci, streptococci, salmonella, vibrio parahaemolyticus, etc., which occur frequently in summer, could not be completely prevented. Also, heat sterilization,
Fungi mixed after heating could not be sterilized. In the case of administration of a drug, it could not be used because the residual odor of the drug after administration would impair the taste of food. Although the bactericidal power of wasabi was known, no germicidal means using the bactericidal power of wasabi was used for sterilization.

[0003]

Therefore, the conventional sterilization method cannot completely wash or sterilize fresh foods such as raw vegetables, fresh fish, meat, etc.
Since the 157 Incident, the provision of fresh vegetables has been refrained, especially at school lunches and other group lunches.
In particular, in the field of catering lunches and take-out lunches, low-cost, non-toxic and harmless simple food sterilizers are required. The problem to be solved by the present invention is a non-toxic and harmless simple food that can be easily and reliably executed by anyone, regardless of age and gender, without affecting the taste, in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks. The purpose is to provide a sterilizer for about 1 yen.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a use state of the simple food sterilizer according to the present invention.

A description will be given with reference to FIG. Allyl isothiocyanate (CH ₂ : CHCH ₂ NC
S) Prepare 1 (may be a wasabi) and 2 a toothpick (may be a piece of wood or bamboo). The above-mentioned allyl isothiocyanate 1 is penetrated into an arbitrary part of the toothpick 2. Although not shown, the claw lift 2 impregnated with the allyl isothiocyanate 1 is sealed with a bag or container made of an aluminum sheet so that the impregnated allyl isothiocyanate 1 is not vaporized (material and shape of the container). Is not particularly limited as long as the allyl isothiocyanate 1 does not vaporize, such as a bag or a container made of a synthetic resin. Separately, prepare a container 4 with a lid 3 such as a lunch box,
The toothpick 2 impregnated with the allyl isothiocyanate 1 is taken out of a bag or a container together with food 5 (any food such as staple food, prepared food, raw vegetables) and sealed in the container 4 with the lid 3. Since this is a simple food sterilizing device characterized by having the above-described configuration, the toothpick 2 penetrated with the exposed allyl isothiocyanate 1 sealed in the container 4 with the food 5 together with the food 5 and the allyl isothiocyanate 1 Is vaporized, fills the voids in the container 4 with the lid 3, and is mixed with the food 5 by the bactericidal activity of the allyl isothiocyanate 1. Can be reliably sterilized, and accidents caused by such bacteria can be prevented. Further, since the cost of the toothpick 2 is low, even if the toothpick 2 is impregnated with the allyl isothiocyanate 1 and sealed with a plastic bag or the like, a simple food sterilizing apparatus can be provided at a manufacturing cost of about 1 yen.

In this embodiment, the toothpick 2 is impregnated with the allyl isothiocyanate 1 as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated and described toothpick 2 (made of wood or bamboo). A member having a holding tissue capable of holding the thiocyanate 1 (which may be a plant fiber or other fiber tissue or a holding tissue such as a corpus sponge) (a piece of dried wood or bamboo having fibers as the holding tissue, or Allyl isothiocyanate 1 may be impregnated into a sponge or the like. Moreover, since the toothpick 2 made of wood or bamboo has a fibrous tissue as a holding tissue, the allyl isothiocyanate 1 is easily penetrated by capillary action, and the allyl isothiocyanate 1 is contained in the fibrous tissue of the toothpick 2. In addition to being easily retained, the allyl isothiocyanate 1 that has penetrated into the toothpick 2 evaporates gradually (does not evaporate at a stretch), and the bactericidal effect of the allyl isothiocyanate 1 is prolonged (5 to 10).
Time) and the pungent odor of allyl isothiocyanate 1 is reduced, making it very easy to use.

Although a lunch box is illustrated as the container 4 with the lid 3, the present invention is not limited to the lunch box, and the toothpick 2 impregnated with allyl isothiocyanate 1 together with food and raw vegetables is sealed in the container (completely). Any container can be used as long as it is a container that does not have to be sealed.

As a method of infiltration, part or all of the toothpick 2 is immersed in a stock solution of allyl isothiocyanate 1 or allyl isothiocyanate 1 diluted with an alcohol such as ethanol, and the allyl isothiocyanate 1 is placed in the tissue of the toothpick 2. Infiltrate inside. As for the position where the allyl isothiocyanate 1 is immersed in the toothpick 2, not the tip of the toothpick 2 but the head 2 a of the toothpick 2 as shown in the figure, the diffusion effect of the vaporized allyl isothiocyanate 1 liquid into the container 4 is faster. And high.

EXAMPLES The simple food sterilizer of the present invention was tested under the conditions described below and was found to be very effective. Several commercially available toothpicks 2 are immersed in allyl isothiocyanate 1 undiluted solution for 10 minutes to infiltrate the allyl isothiocyanate 1 undiluted solution, then the toothpick 2 is taken out of the allyl isothiocyanate 1 undiluted solution and sealed in a polybag for 10 minutes. Then, the toothpick 2 is taken out of the plastic bag, and the toothpick 2 is enclosed in a lunch box 4 together with food contaminated with various bacteria.
A part of the food 5 (0.2 ml of 300 colonies of bacteria detected) left for a minute was cultured on an agar medium to cultivate the various bacteria,
Twelve hours later, visual observation revealed that all the germs had been killed and sterile.

[0014]

The simple food sterilizing apparatus according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, and has various effects as listed below. The simple food sterilizer of claim 1 is
Since the member has a holding tissue, allyl isothiocyanate (CH ₂ : CHCH ₂ NCS) can be held for a long time, so that the allyl isothiocyanate gradually evaporates and evaporates from the member enclosed in the container together with the food mixed with various bacteria. Since the sterilizing power of allyl isothiocyanate lasts for a long time and the allyl isothiocyanate evaporates gradually, a simple food sterilizing device with less irritating odor can be obtained.

According to the simple food sterilizing apparatus of the second aspect, the same effect as that of the simple food sterilizing apparatus of the first aspect can be obtained, because the plant cut piece as a member has a fiber tissue as a holding tissue.

In the simple food sterilizing apparatus according to the third aspect, since the toothpick as a member has a fibrous tissue as a holding tissue, the same effect as the simple food sterilizing apparatus according to the first aspect is obtained.
In addition, since the cost of the toothpick is low, even if the toothpick is impregnated with allyl isothiocyanate and sealed with a plastic bag or the like, a simple food sterilizing apparatus can be provided at a manufacturing cost of about 1 yen.
