Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an encapsulating material obtained by salt-treating raw aquatic animal surimi material, livestock animal paste material, or a mixture thereof that can be obtained at low cost. The present invention relates to a method for producing an electrically processed food, which can be heat-sterilized in a short time by simple electrical processing, regardless of its quantity or shape, and can be provided as an electrically processed food with good taste.

Conventional technology Conventionally, various packaged foods such as ham, ham, etc. have been produced by electrically processing raw aquatic animal surimi materials or livestock meat paste materials that can be obtained at low cost.
When manufacturing sausages, kamaboko, etc., generally, a current-carrying shape-retaining frame with a large number of current-carrying holes drilled in the flat part is slidably fitted to the open ends of both ends of an insulating shape-retaining cylinder of a certain shape. After filling and storing the surimi material or kneaded material into a packaging container constructed by attaching flat saline water contacting bodies to the inner and outer surfaces of each of the above-mentioned current-carrying shape-retaining frames, both sides are placed.

It is known that packaged foods were manufactured by pressing a pair of electrode plates in close contact with a saline solution contacting body and applying electricity across the pair of electrode plates, as disclosed before this application, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5
It is described in Japanese Patent No. 6-5042 and is well known.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention By the way, according to the above-mentioned known manufacturing method, the shape of the packaging container can be made constant, and at the same time, during electrical processing, a pair of electrode plates must be provided at both ends of the packaging container. Because it requires pressure contact with a water-contacting body, it is not possible to sterilize a large number of packaged products of different shapes at the same time by energizing, making it difficult to mass produce packaged foods. occured.

Therefore, the present invention eliminates the need to limit the shape of the packaging container or to press each pair of electrode plates to the saline water contacts provided at both ends of the packaging container, as in conventionally known methods. Also, the salt-treated material is simply housed in an energizing package of any shape, and the resulting large number of energizing packages are
It is housed in an insulating container and placed in a dilute salt solution with a salt concentration lower than that of the material under arbitrary conditions, and then energized to ensure that the current is constantly energizing the replenishing liquid. Enables the uniform and accurate conduction of electricity through materials with high salt concentration as a medium, performs heat sterilization, and mass-produces encapsulated electrified processed foods of arbitrary shape and good taste with low power consumption and simple operation. The above problem has been solved by providing a method for producing electrified processed foods that can be processed using electricity.

Means for Solving the Problem Therefore, the technical problem of the method of the present invention is that when salt-treated surimi material, kneaded material, or a mixture thereof is encapsulated in an arbitrary shape, However, the object of the present invention is to make it possible to mass-produce electrically processed foods by thermally sterilizing a large number of materials with different shapes within a short time by simply carrying out an electrical processing operation.

In order to solve this technical problem, the method of the present invention involves filling and storing raw aquatic animal surimi material uniformly mixed with salt, meat paste material, or a mixed material of these into an electrically conductive package. At the same time, the energizing package is housed in an insulating container, and is submerged in a dilute salt solution with a salt concentration lower than that of the above-mentioned material, and the material is sterilized by energization. This is a method for producing an electrically processed food characterized by the following.

Operation The above technical means operates as follows (see Figures 1 and 2). That is, a large amount of material A is prepared, such as raw aquatic animal surimi material, livestock meat paste material, or a mixture of these materials, to which salt is evenly mixed to ensure good electrical conduction. Next, the material A is filled and stored in the energizing packages 1, and a large number of energizing packages 1 of arbitrary shapes containing the material A are provided. The resulting large number of energized packages 1 are then collected in an insulating container 3, and filled with a replenishing solution B having a salt concentration lower than that of the material A.
The water is poured into the tank one by one so that it is submerged in any desired state. Then, the spaces between the many energized packages 1 that have been put in are filled with the replenishing liquid B, so that the energized packages 1 are stored without coming into close contact with each other. When a large amount of energizing packages 1 are stored in a submerged state as described above, if the energizing action is applied across the opposing surface of the insulating container 3, the current will be applied to the salt concentration using the replenishing fluid B as the energizing medium. The Joule heat generated by uniformly circulating the material A containing high salt content can be used to sterilize the food in a short period of time, making it possible to produce electrically processed food with good taste at once.

Embodiment Next, an apparatus for carrying out the method of the present invention will be explained based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings, A is made from raw aquatic animals such as sardines, horse mackerel, mackerel, and saury that can be obtained at low cost, or paste materials from raw meat such as cows, pigs, and pigs, or mixtures thereof. The material A is uniformly mixed with salt so that the salt concentration is, for example, 2% to 3%. Note that seasoning materials or spices may be appropriately added to the above-mentioned material A as necessary.

As mentioned above, the reason for adding 2% to 3% salt to material A is to allow the current to flow uniformly through material A during the subsequent electrical processing, and at the same time to improve the taste and quality of material A. The purpose is to promote retention.

1Fi, an electrically conductive package for filling and storing material A that has been subjected to salt treatment, and the entire electrically conductive package is made of a material with high water permeability and conductivity in the form of a bag with one side open or both sides. It is formed into an open oblong tube shape or any other arbitrary shape, and the above-mentioned current-carrying package 1 is filled with an arbitrary amount of material A, and the open part is closed by arbitrarily tightening 2.

B is a replenishment liquid with a salt concentration lower than that contained in material A, for example, 0.25% or less, and the replenishment liquid B is
An appropriate amount of is housed in an insulating container 3 having an appropriate shape. The above-mentioned insulating container 3ij is formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape with the upper surface open, and on the opposing walls 4, 4 side of the insulating container 3,
A pair of electrode plates 5, 5 inserted and inserted so that they can be freely inserted and removed, and a pair of separators 6, 6 made of a liquid-permeable insulating material.
After placing a large number of electrically conductive packages 1 of arbitrary shapes filled with material A containing salt with a high salt concentration in dilute hydrochloric acid B under submergence, a pair of electrodes When electricity is applied between the plates 5, 5, the current flows smoothly and uniformly through the current-carrying package 1 through the current-carrying package 1, using the replenisher liquid B as the current-carrying medium, and quickly melts the material A at 95°C, for example. It is possible to produce electrically processed foods with good taste through heat sterilization. In addition, if necessary, appropriate seasonings or spices may be mixed into material A to improve the taste.
stomach.

At the time of the above-mentioned energization processing, a large number of energization packages 1 of arbitrary shapes are simply placed in dilute hydrochloric acid B housed in an insulating container 3 under submergence 7 and the material A is Because it is possible to accurately sterilize foods by heating, it is not possible to produce a large amount of products at once, unlike conventional methods, where the shape of the energized processed food is standardized or the energization process involves pressing a pair of electrode plates. Solving the shortcomings, we can easily and quickly heat sterilize any amount and shape.
It is possible to obtain electrically processed foods that are inexpensive and have good taste.

γ is a temperature detector for automatically detecting the material ripening temperature of the energized package 2 housed in the insulating container 3 under water, and the tip side of the temperature detector γ is is inserted to the middle of the material A filled in the energizing package 2, and when the material A reaches a predetermined ripening temperature, this is quickly detected and the electricity to the electrode plates 5, 5 is cut off. It operates as follows.

In addition, material A contains strong salt with a salinity of 0 degrees.1. In addition, since the salt concentration of the replenisher B is lower than that of the material A, the temperature of the material is lower than that of the replenisher B during the heat sterilization process.
It can be seen that the temperature is about 20° C. higher than that of the material A, and that the material A is sterilized by heat sterilization on average, and that the electric current is distributed evenly through the material A to save power consumption.

Moreover, if material A is an aquatic animal, mixing a small amount of vinegar in dilute hydrochloric acid B may promote the conduction of electricity in material A and improve the tightness of material A. It can create a very unique smell.

Effects of the Invention In short, since the present invention employs the method described above, unlike the conventional method, it is possible to fill an insulating shape-retaining cylinder with a fixed shape with a material, or to fill an insulating shape-retaining cylinder filled with a material. There is no need for a troublesome process such as press-contacting the electrode plates one by one to the current-carrying shape-retaining frame provided on both sides of the case. a large number of s
m 71 Package 1 is housed in 1 insulating container 3, and dilute hydrochloric acid B with a salt concentration lower than that of the above material A.
After storing the material in a submerged state, the material A consisting of a large number of arbitrary shapes can be uniformly thermally sterilized in a short period of time by simply applying electricity, thereby producing inexpensive electrically processed foods. Is it a scam that can be mass-produced at once? Electrifying package 1
Regardless of the direction in which the materials are housed, the replenishing liquid B with a low salt concentration acts as a current-carrying medium so that the current is passed uniformly and intensively through the material A, thereby reducing power consumption and ensuring that the material is always ripened evenly. It is possible to produce a heat-sterilized encapsulated electrically processed food.
