Description

MANUFACTURING APPARATUS FOR GERMINATING BROWN RICE}

The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing germinated brown rice, and more particularly, to an apparatus for automatically germinating brown rice in a germination tank of a whole process.

In general, brown rice has a high content of various nutrients and dietary fiber, but it is not widely used because it is not easy to cook and has a soft taste like white rice. To solve this problem, a technology of germinating brown rice and edible food has been developed. Germinated brown rice is called the "revolution of rice" due to various enzymatic reactions during germination, such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, arabinoxyran and gamma-orizanol. In particular, arabinoxylan has been highlighted as a "miracle cancer drug" when a study by Dr. Gotham of the University of UCLA, USA, that dramatically improved immunity to treat more than 60% of terminal cancer patients. In addition, it contains 2 to 6% of high-quality dietary fiber, which significantly reduces obesity, which is a weakness of modern people, depending on the degree of germination, thus providing new electricity to combat obesity and prevent and treat adult diseases.

Conventionally, the conventional method of producing germinated brown rice is to immerse brown rice in water tank under various conditions to sufficiently infiltrate the brown rice, and then, by manually placing it in a colander or perforated support, germinating brown rice by adjusting temperature and moisture well .

However, the conventional method has a hassle to move the brown rice from the water tank to the support and spread it thinly, and since the heat is generated by the enzymatic action during germination, it must be frequently stirred, and the water is sometimes sprayed and the temperature must be adjusted so that many hands are needed. It is difficult to automate or mechanize or massify these processes, and it is necessary to make several small-capacity machines, take 8-12 hours for initial swelling, 48-52 hours for germination, and 48-52 hours for drying. As the time required increases, automation is difficult and expensive.

In addition, the conventional method is germinated by exposure to the air for a long time in a wet state, so the air distribution is free, easy to contaminate bacteria, difficult to maintain a sterile state, so that the rice can not be germinated 2 to 5% by yellow or white rice Mixed, it is very dangerous to get your feet in this condition. Hwangbaekmi is a fungus called penicillium islandicum or penicillium rugulo island, which causes rice to turn yellow and produce toxic substances such as Islamicin, Cycloglutin, Luteoskyrin, and Rugulosine. Causes cirrhosis, liver cancer. In addition, blue and white rice is a phenomenon caused by the growth of a fungus called penicillium citrio viride in rice, which causes central nervous paralysis and liver failure. In general, such bad rice is mixed with 2 to 5% of poorly germinated rice, such as immature rice or rice that cannot be germinated no matter how well the mill is polished. It did not germinate and could not be perfectly screened, which eventually had yellowing or blue taste.

In addition, in the conventional method, when the brown rice is soaked in water and transferred to the base after infiltration of water, the germination rate and the speed of germination are low because the moisture on the surface is dried and the humidity is low. Since there is a problem that the germination length is different so that a homogeneous product can not be obtained. In addition, the conventional method has a long germination time, the color is browned and a bad smell is difficult to consume.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to reduce the labor cost by manufacturing the germinated brown rice in the germination tank in the whole process, to reduce the production time and manufacturing cost by automating the production of germinated brown rice, By adding a step of inhibiting the growth of bacteria to prevent yellowing or blue taste, and the short germination time to provide a device that can produce a high quality germinated brown rice with a bright color and no hoofy smell.
