CONSTITUTION:Frozen crude coconut milk is thawed in the thawer 1 and sent from the tank 3 to the receive tank equipped with a mixing mechanism and diluted with hot water at 60-70 deg.C from the tank 7. The resultant milk is passed through static mixer 11, homogenizer 13 to the deaerator 15 where gases, air and volatile substances are removed. Stabilizers and flavors are combined in the mixing tank 19 together with auxiliary agents mixed with water. The formulated emulsion is sent into the steril-deodorizer 43 where it is heated by means of boiler 25 at 130-140 deg.C. The volatile odors are removed in the vacuum deaerator 44. The resultant emulsion is sent through homogenizer 45, cooled in heat exchanger 47, then transferred into the germfree tank 48 and sent to the filling machine 48.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing adjusted fine coconut milk, and in particular, it uses coarse coconut milk obtained from coconuts originating in India as a source material to produce fine coconut milk with component value for high-grade beverages. The present invention relates to an apparatus capable of producing fine coconut milk with a high concentration on an industrial scale.

The frozen juice obtained by crushing and compressing coconut is known as ``target coconut milk,'' and although it has various excellent properties as a raw material for modified milk. At present, it is hardly used in the high-end beverage field. There are various reasons for this, but the major ones are the formation of large-grained precipitates during the manufacturing process, which causes the so-called mijin phenomenon, and the separation of oil to obtain a uniform emulsion. It is difficult to remove volatile unpleasant odors caused by impurities such as oxides produced by contact with air during the production process of coconut milk, making it unsuitable for high-end beverages.

This invention is an apparatus that can produce adjusted coconut milk suitable for high-grade beverages while fully utilizing the raw material properties of crude coconut milk and eliminating the process problems described above. The purpose is to provide the following.

That is, in this invention, the non-volatile components in the coconut milk are dispersed in the form of fine particles, and auxiliary agents such as stabilizers and seasonings are added to further stabilize the milk by killing it, deodorizing it, and so on. It is.

The apparatus for producing adjusted fine coconut milk of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the cooling drawings.

As mentioned above, this invention makes coconut pretext a(?f
= Crude coconut milk is made by freezing the squeezed juice obtained by crushing and separating it from the dregs. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to thaw this frozen crude coconut milk. Therefore, first send this to the defroster (or refrigerator) 1. Once thawed, it is sent to a storage tank 3 connected to the thawing machine through a pipe. This storage tank 6 is further equipped with a pump P1 for mixing 1.
It is connected to a receiving tank 5 with several pipes.

Accordingly, the thawed coconut milk 5 stored in the storage tank B is transferred to the receiving tank 5 by the pump P1. Then, it is necessary to supply hot water to this receiving tank 5 to dilute the coconut milk.
This hot water (60~b) is pipe-fed from the storage tank 7 via a pump P2. The downstream side of the receiving tank 5 is further connected via a pipe to a static mixer 11 via a pump P6. ,
Thoroughly stir the crude coconut milk diluted with the warm water. The static mixer 11 has, for example, about 200 to 50.0 kg/cm2 on its downstream side.

Homogenizer 13 that homogenizes at high pressure to make the bottle fine particles
is connected to the pipe. And homogenizer-13
is pipe-connected to the deaeration tank 15 via a pump P4. The coconut milk that has been homogenized into an emulsion by the homogenizer 13 is deaerated')lVJ15vC
This deaeration tank 15 is connected to a depressurization/deaeration device 17 such as a vacuum pump, and the emulsion is degassed under reduced pressure to remove gas, air, and volatile substances. . The downstream side of the deaeration tank 15 is pipe-connected to a mixing tank 19 via a pump P5. This mixing tank 19 is for mixing the emulsion which has been subjected to the vacuum degassing treatment and an auxiliary agent made by mixing stabilizers and seasonings with water at an appropriate temperature. By the way, the mechanism for feeding this auxiliary agent to the mixing tank 19 is as follows. That is, the mixing tank 21 is filled with, for example, Bakuga sugar, and the mixing tank 23 is filled with, for example, skim milk powder.
3, a hot water storage tank 27 heated by the heat of the boiler 25;
Pipes are connected to supply hot water inside.

Mix Bakuga sugar and skim milk powder with warm water in both mixing tanks 2'1.23. And both mixing tanks 2
1. Pipe-connected to the homogenizer 29 on the downstream side of the machine 23, feed the cornflower liquid and skimmed milk powder, and mix and homogenize the two liquids to create a blended liquid. This homogenizer-2
A register tank 31 for storing the above-mentioned mixed liquid is connected to the downstream side of the pump P6, and a pump P6 is connected to the downstream side thereof.
It is connected to the mixing tank 19 via.

Since the emulsion that has been homogenized as described above is sent to this mixing tank 19, the emulsion is mixed with the homogenized blended liquid as an auxiliary agent in this mixing tank 19. let Here, the emulsion prepared 61 is sent to a sterilizing and deodorizing machine 43 which is pipe-connected downstream of the mixing tank 19. This 56. The bacteria deodorizing iso 43 is connected to the boiler 25, and the prepared emulsion in the sterilizing and deodorizing machine 46 is, for example, 160
Heat and sterilize at a temperature of ~140"C. Volatile odor is emitted during this heating and cocoon treatment, but in order to remove this odor, a vacuum deaerator 44 is installed in the sterilizer and deodorizer 46. I'll leave it to you.

The prepared emulsion that has been heavily deodorized by the sterilizing and deodorizing machine 46 is further passed through a homogenizer that is connected to a pipe downstream of the emulsion.
45 to homogenize the prepared emulsion.

Is there a heat exchanger downstream of the homogenizer 45? 547 is piped into which the heated formulation is mixed to cool the emulsion which has risen in temperature. Mokukyokai 4
A sterile storage tank 48 is pipe-connected to the downstream side of the tank 7, and stores the cooled coconut milk liquid as an emulsion in a hot state. This storage tank 48 is further equipped with a filling machine 49.
The coconut milk liquid is packed into tetra packs, bottles, etc. and shipped via this pipe.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to produce, on an industrial scale, fine coconan milk, which has a high component value and is used for high-grade beverages, using coconut milk as a raw material.
