Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention provides a rice bran miso that can automatically manage the rice bran bed (bran miso), which is the basic material for rice bran miso pickles, to constantly produce good rice bran miso pickles. Regarding the pickle production equipment, the details include proper stirring of the rice bran bed,
Furthermore, it relates to a rice bran miso pickle production device that can automatically control the temperature adjustment as needed and produce a good rice bran miso pickle after a desired certain period of time〇 [Prior art and its problems] Since ancient times, rice bran miso pickle has been used. It is considered a treasured food in the home, and its basic ingredient, rice bran miso, is passed down as an heirloom from housewives to their daughters or daughters-in-law. It is produced by producing rice bran by fermenting a mixture of boiled water and an appropriate amount of salt using various methods, and then adding materials such as raw vegetables to this rice bran. This fermentation is basically lactic acid bacteria fermentation,
In addition to this, fermentation by yeast is also involved, and as a result, the resulting pickles have a complex flavor.

The evaluation criteria for pickles as a pickled food are (a) good color and appearance, (b) odor and aroma, (c) taste, and (d) texture and texture for a nutritious food, and (e) minerals as a nutritional food. It must be highly nutritious, containing vitamins, etc. It must be rich in high-quality dietary fiber, etc.

According to the classification of living organisms, lactic acid bacteria belong to bacteria (prokaryotic organisms) among the lower microorganisms of the general biological kingdom and the protist kingdom, and there are approximately 120
There are 0 types. Among them, those particularly related to pickles are Le.
uconostoc, Pediococus.

Lactobacillus and the like. Yeasts belong to fungi among the higher microorganisms of the protist kingdom, and are several species of fungi, which are further classified into hemiascomycetes through ascomycetes.

The first process in the production of bran bed is the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria.
The appropriate temperature is between 30'C and PH5-4 after a few days.
It will be about. During this time, the growth of other bacteria is suppressed by salt and lactic acid.After that, fermentation by yeast is added, and the optimum temperature rises to 30 to 50 degrees Celsius. Fermentation is added to add a complex and high-quality flavor.
This entire process is a continuous pathway of complex metabolic actions by living organisms. Rice bran is an excellent material compared to any other source of energy or nutrition. That is, vitamins required for the growth of lactic acid bacteria, such as calcium thihanthenate, nicotinic acid, biotin, and amino acids necessary from pyridoxine/Hct, pyridoxal/HCt, pyridoxamine/2E-1ct%P-aminobenzoic acid, and folic acid, etc. That is, L-glutamic acid, L-histidine・E (C/=, L-tryptophan, DL-valine, and L-arginine・HCtlL-aspartic acid,
L-cystine/E-1ct, L-leucine, DL-
This is because rice bran contains methionine, L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, etc. Because these are contained, lactic acid bacteria rapidly proliferate, and on the other hand, vitamin B2 and the like are produced in large quantities. It goes without saying that the function of enzymes and coenzymes is important in this reaction pathway.

What can be said from the above is that rice bran miso pickle itself is a living thing along with rice bran bed. In other words, rice bran miso pickles or nuka bed are extremely unstable entities that exist in the metabolic pathways of living organisms that never take a break.

This kind of rice bran miso pickle (including rice bran bed) has the following essence.

(1) Originally, it cannot be displayed and sold as a product in a store.

(2) Since it contains aerobic bacteria, it is necessary to introduce air and remove the gas generated in the rice bran bed, and for this reason, the rice bran bed must be stirred several times a day. It's troublesome.

(3) Since countless bacteria or yeast are always present in the surrounding area, it is impossible to know when the bran bed will deteriorate or deteriorate, and therefore constant observation is required, making maintenance work extremely troublesome.

[Purpose of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the need for manual stirring operations several times a day, which is said to be the most difficult to control in terms of serious damage, and furthermore, the purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the need for manual stirring operations several times a day, which is said to be the most difficult to control in terms of serious damage. To provide an apparatus for producing rice bran miso pickles that improves the drawbacks of the above-mentioned known technology, that is, manual operation, by controlling and adjusting the speed of the production process so as to match the expected completion time of the product. There is a particular thing.

[Embodiments of the Invention] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a specific example of the apparatus of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the rotary drive member, rotating member, and container of the device of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a specific example of the device of the present invention. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing the stirring state of the bran bed in the container. 01 is a CPU, and the contents are transferred from a medium 2 on which a desired program is recorded to a card reader 3 to the CPU.
o4 is a keyboard input panel, and by manually pressing the numeric keys or function keys on this keyboard input panel 4, various necessary computer programs can be entered. Give the boot. In addition, the CPU has a so-called CPU (microcomputer system) in the center, and also has an I10 function (input/output function), memory, and a switch circuit network. 05 is a rotating active member. , for example, an induction motor, which is connected to the CPU 1 via a rotational speed control section 6, and whose rotational speed can be freely changed by a control signal from the CPUI. That is, the rotation speed control section 6 receives AC power transmitted from the AC power supply 7 via the branch circuit 8, and controls the speed generator (rate generator) of the rotation speed control section 6 in accordance with a control signal from the CPU. The rotational speed of the rotational drive member 5 can be freely changed. Note that the speed of the rotating shaft of the rotary drive member 5 can be changed by a gear box 9 if necessary. Reference numeral 010 is a rotating member, for example, a rubber roller, and the first
As shown in the figure and the second figure, the rotational drive member 5 and the Boo'J
-11 and 12 are connected by connecting them via a belt 13, and rotation is applied by the rotational drive member 5 via the pulley 11, belt 13, and pulley 12.

This rotation is of course controlled by the rotation of the rotary drive member 5. Note that even if the rubber roller 10a in FIG. 2 is not directly connected to the rotary drive member 5, it serves as a mere roller stopper.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a container into which a rice bran bed I5 is loaded. This container 14 is placed on the rotating member 10 and is held rotatably by the rotation of the rotating member 10. As a result, the container 14 is rotated according to the rotational speed of the rotating member 10.01fi is a temperature controller 1, for example, a thermo module, which is connected to the CPUI via the power control unit 17, and
The temperature inside the container 14 is freely adjusted by the control signal from I. That is, from the CPU 1 to the power supply control section 1
A signal for controlling the heat generation or heat absorption of the temperature regulator 16 is sent to the temperature regulator 16, which causes the power supply control unit 17 to change the direction of current to the temperature regulator 16 in the forward or reverse direction and control the energization time. Do the following. In addition, the power supply limiting section 17 uses AC power transmitted from the ACC power source via the branch circuit 8.
It also has a built-in function to convert and rectify 'tm into a DC power source compatible with the temperature controller 16. In the figure, 18 is a pipe for exchanging the air inside the container 14. The above-described device of the present invention usually has an outer container 1 as shown in the third diagram.
020 is the lid of the container, 2] is the control panel, η is the display section, O is the display lamp, 2
4 is a power switch.

According to the above-described apparatus of the present invention, the container 14 loaded with the bran bed 15 is rotated or the temperature is adjusted as necessary according to a desired program recorded on the CPUI.

For example, when the container 14 is rotated in the direction of the arrow shown in the fourth figure,
The internal rice bran bed 5 is rotated and stirred while being rolled inward as shown in the fourth figure, and while creating appropriate cracks, separations, and divisions at all times. Therefore, when ingredients such as vegetables are thrown into the rice bran bed [5] without any special operations, they are stirred into a uniform or uniform mixture in just a few minutes.

The loading amount of the rice bran bed 15 is 70 to 80% of the volume of the container 14.
There is no problem even if it is 0.%. For example, 30 cm 9
200 bran in a 3 x 15 crn (height) capacity container?
, water 4000-4500 f and salt 200-30
When loaded with 07, the empty space is sufficient and the stirring is complete, and the finished status of the rice bran bed and rice bran miso pickle is as follows. If you adjust the temperature like this and add a handful of old bran miso,
In 7 days, the pH will reach 4-4.5 and you can start pickling. Maintaining a constant temperature and automatic stirring promotes homogeneous fermentation and is extremely effective in supplying oxygen to aerobic lactic acid bacteria.

Prepare three of the above-mentioned rice bran beds A, B, and C, and set the outside temperature to 20.
℃, if a person stirs twice a day by hand in the morning and evening, B stirs 7 times a day by hand in the morning and evening, and C continuously stirs at 6 rotations per minute, the finishing time of rice bran miso pickles will be Kira. 1 ha radish,
For turnips and kapocha, A: 24 hours B: 12 hours C: 4 to 5 hours. In particular, in the case of C, the dropping of bran and miso during rotation gives a soft impact to the material, and this was found to be effective in uniformly soaking the inside of the material. Using this method, we produced rice bran miso pickles for various materials. The container 14 is made of hardened glass and has a wall thickness of 5 mm.
, 30 (7) Ω x 15 m height was used.

A conventional manual method was also used for comparison.

In the apparatus of the present invention, the rice bran bed was adjusted to have a salt content of 1.2 to 3% based on the rice bran and water, whereas in the conventional method, the salt content was adjusted to be 3 to 5%.

In the conventional method, the rice bran bed was stirred twice in the morning and evening at a temperature of 20°C, whereas in the apparatus of the present invention, it was continuously stirred at a temperature of 20°C and a rotation speed of 6 rpm. The device of the present invention was set as A, and the conventional method was set as B, and the same taste was obtained.

The results are shown in Table-1.

From Table 1, it can be seen that the rice bran miso pickle made by the device of the present invention is superior to the conventional one in terms of each material and each evaluation item. In particular, although the finishing time is significantly shortened with the present invention, You can see that you are getting an excellent product.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the device of the present invention, it is possible to automatically stir the rice bran bed or adjust the temperature with the required VC1 according to the desired program, thereby improving the taste of various miso pickles obtained. The finishing time can be freely controlled while maintaining good retention, making it an extremely useful device in practice.
