Description

How to remove the citrus fruit citrus {REMOVAL METHOD OF CALYXES OF CITURE FRUITS}

The present invention relates to a method of removing citrus fruits from citrus fruits, and more specifically, citron, sudachi, frankincense, lime, kabosu, orange, tangerine, and stirrup Citrus fruits, such as trees, palm trees, citrus fruits, and lemons, are squeezed from these citrus fruits in the previous process of producing juices and essential oils. It is about a method of removing.

As is well known, citrus fruits of citrus fruits such as citron, sudachi (lime), lime, kabosu (yuzu), stirrup, summer, orange, tangerine, lemon It is widely used for food, brewing, and dry edible fruit.

In addition, in the case of the food, in addition to the juice or juice taken out in addition to the raw juice, juice residues (juiced residues left) and crushed residues, that is, fruit peel, fruit flesh, etc. are compressed, It is used as a basis for extracting essential oils again. Or it is carved and used for marmalade raw materials or confectionery raw materials.

In other words, the residue is squeezed, filtered, sieved, filtered, centrifuged or refined to obtain essential oil, or finely chopped with Carter and steam distilled to obtain essential oil. Or it is sliced into marmalade or cream and is used in various ways.

 By the way, "faucet" is generally attached to citrus fruit of citrus citrus fruits such as citron, sudachi, lime, kabosu, wisteria, summer feeling, orange, tangerine, lemon. Here, conventionally, when these fruits are squeezed while the stalks are attached, and an essential oil is obtained from the remaining juice foil, impurities in the stalk portions are also mixed into the output, and thus the scabs are removed immediately before processing. In other words, the tap does not mix.

 For this reason, conventionally, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 206-346414, using a Carter or a food processor shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-004-173569, one fruit or one faucet is manually made or machined. It removed beforehand by the process.

 [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2O06-346414

 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2OO4-173569

According to the tap removal technique using the carter, since one spigot of each fruit must be removed by a human hand or a carter, the efficiency of the tap removal operation is extremely low.

Moreover, according to the said plant processor, since it supports and rotates, and removes a head with a thing like a blade, efficiency is more favorable than the carter work by a human hand, but fruit must pass through this plant processor, and only for the process There were drawbacks such as the increase in the number of work processes or the need to secure a working space.

 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of efficiently removing the stem of citrus fruit. Thus, in the case of obtaining essential oils or the like by juice or pressing after the next step, or obtaining a slice peel as a marmalade raw material, or in the case of obtaining a confectionery raw material, the entire It is to improve work efficiency.

In particular, by placing citrus fruits collected as an immature fruit shipment before ripening on a tree under an ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas environment, in the case of removing the faucet following the step of draughting, the removal of the faucet and the faucet can be continued. In other words, it provides a means to remove the nipple in a simpler way.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following technical means.

That is, the invention of claim 1 of the present application is a method of removing citrus fruit stems by putting the ripened citrus fruit into ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas to promote the release of the citrus fruit stems. In this case, it includes both the case where the step of removing the faucet as it is after the sheltering step, and the gas treatment for removing the faucet once again after the time of lodging.

In addition, the invention according to claim 2 of the present invention is characterized in that, when the citrus fruit is washed after the removal of the faucet by the ethylene gas or the ethylene mixed gas, the facilitating release of the faucet naturally leaves the citrus fruit. It is a method of removing the tap of the citrus fruit.

And the invention of claim 3 of the present application is the citrus fruit according to claim 1, characterized in that when the juice is released from the citrus fruit following the promotion of the release of the tap by the ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas, the release faucet is naturally separated from the citrus fruit It is a way to remove the fruit of the tap.

As mentioned above, the citrus fruit lodging has a basket containing citrus fruit on a shelf in an ethylene gas room, and a certain concentration of ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas (CO₂ or N₂) from an external ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas source. Gas) to the room, and the citrus fruit is physiologically reacted with ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas. By the physiological action of this ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas, citrus fruit ripens. That is, the increase of sugar, the increase and decrease of organic acid, the softening of fruit, the generation of aroma, and the progress of coloring progress. Of course, this ripening proceeds with the supply of nutrients and water on the tree, but not by ripening on the tree for remote control of the mountains or market management of the fruit. Aging is planned.

Conventionally, only said lodging has been performed. So in the citrus fruit was left a tap. Thus, in the case of juice extraction or separation of essential oils from juice squeezing (juice-dried waste) in a later process, it was necessary to carry out a scavenger removal process by a carter or a machine to prevent mixing of the scab.

On the contrary, the present application is based on the physiological action of ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas after completion of the ripening of citrus fruit by ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas, followed by or once a time and once again under the environment of ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas. This is to promote the separation (B) of the tap by. In this case, it was confirmed that in the physiological action of ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas for a short time, the tap cannot be naturally separated while being included in the citrus fruit.

And for a long time, the faucet will be detachable, but the ripening of the citrus fruit itself is too advanced, resulting in the fall of the pulp, the product value of the citrus fruit falls. It is preferable that the faucet is in a natural detachable state when treated with ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas following the lodging in the range of 5 to 6 hours. The temperature of the room to be treated is 27 ° C to 39 ° C, the humidity is 80 to 93%, and the gas concentration is in the range of 8ppm to 15ppm, preferably 30 ° C and 90% humidity, and the gas concentration is about 10 ppm. The natural detachable state here means that the faucet is completely separated from the fruit and is not separated, but with a slight external force, the faucet is naturally separated from the tissue of the citrus fruit as if the faucet is naturally a separate object. The removal of a non-faucet stem is a condition that remains.

It is different from the state that the so-called nipple is forcibly removed and the forcible wound is left on the fruit side. Among them, it is preferable to treat with ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas in the range of 5 hours to 6 hours after completion of lodging. In other words, if it spends 5 to 6 hours and treats with ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas again, the separability from a tap body is good. In addition, in the case of following the dormitory, the sum of the dormitory time and the time of removing the faucet is preferably 2-3 days.

As mentioned above, according to this invention, the stem of a citrus fruit can be removed efficiently. Thereby, the process of picking a stalk in the process of manufacturing essential oils by the juice after a next process, etc., or a process of peeling can be eliminated, and efficiency improves.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, in detail with reference to FIG. 1, the citrus fruit (1) harvested in an immature state is ripened (A) with external ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas. As is well known, this stay (A) has a basket or the like placed on a pallet in a room where ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas can be supplied, and a predetermined concentration of gas is supplied from an external ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas supply source. The citrus fruit is physiologically fed with ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas. By this physiological action, citrus fruits and thread are ripening. That is, the increase of sugar, the increase and decrease of organic acid, the softening of fruit, the generation of aroma, and the progress of coloring progress. Of course, this ripening proceeds while receiving nutrients and water supply on the tree, but not fully ripening on the tree for remote control of the mountain region or market management of the fruit, and thus fruiting by ripening by external ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas. Aging is planned.

 Conventionally, only said lodging was performed. Therefore, the tap remained as it was in the citrus fruit which was lodged. In order to prevent the mixing of the faucet in the case of juice extraction or extracting the essential oil from the juice afterwards, a work by a carter or a removal of a faucet by a machine was necessary.

 On the other hand, in this case, after completion of lodging of citrus fruit by ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas, it puts it in ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas environment once again after this or once in time, and promotes the release of the tap by the physiological action. (B) is planned. Preferably, the tap is in a state of natural detachment when treated with ethylene gas or ethylene mixed gas in a range of 5 hours to 6 hours, followed by lodging. The natural detachable state here means that the nipple is not completely separated from the fruit, but when a slight external force is applied, the nipple is naturally separated from the tissue of the citrus fruit so that the nipple becomes a separate object, and there is no trace of the removal of the nipple from the fruit body side. It is different from the state that it tears a nipple and forcibly tears off the fruit side.

 Therefore, in the subsequent washing (C R), the nipple 3 is easily removed from the natural state by external force such as water pressure applied to the citrus fruit 1 at the time of washing. 4 and 5 (A) (B) (C) schematically show this state, and FIG. 4 shows a state immediately after harvest in which the nipple 3 is integrally attached to the fruit 1, and FIG. 5 (A) shows the state of the citrus fruit 2 which the stem 3 spontaneously isolate | separated, and the removal trace 7 of the stem which does not have a wound is exposed, and FIG. 5 (B) shows the removed stem 3 (C) has shown the top view of the removed nipple 3, respectively.

 After that, it is dried (D) and the juice E is obtained, or the essential oil 6 is manufactured from the juice foil 5. Or it can respond to the processing of the fruit peel for marmalade raw materials at low cost. In this case, the faucet is continuously promoted to the step (B) in the lodging step (A) and is naturally removed during the washing (CR). Therefore, there is no need to remove the faucet from the fruit individually or use the machine to remove the faucet. The efficiency is good.

Example 1

Example 1-1

 30 citrons were put into the basket put on the pallet, it put into the ethylene gas process chamber of temperature 31 degreeC, and humidity of 90%, and ethylene gas was inject | poured into this gas process chamber, and it was set as the density | concentration of 10 ppm. Ethylene gas used the trade name Carogengen of Iwatania Green Green Co., Ltd.

And we stayed for 55 hours. After that, it was put under ethylene gas again for 5 hours to promote the release of the tap. After that, the gas treatment chamber was ventilated, and 30 citrons were removed from the basket to observe the attachment state of the tap. For all 30 citrons, the spigot was only attached to the citron body. However, after that, it was put in a water tank and stirred for about 10 minutes, and only water was naturally removed from the main body from all 30 citrons by washing with water.

After observing the citron with the stem removed, the traces of the citron's removal were clear and no wound was found. Too ripe of the yuzu body was not seen.

Example 1-2

 After the 30 citrons were lodged under the same conditions as in Example 1-1, the mixture was further placed under ethylene gas for 5.5 hours to promote the release of the nipple. Thereafter, 3O citrons in the basket were similarly taken out of the gas treatment chamber, and the attachment state of the tap was observed.

For all 3O citrons, the nipples looked like they were just loaded on the citron body.

Therefore, afterwards, the water was put into the tank for washing and stirred for about three minutes, and the washing was removed from all 3O citrons by washing with water.

The trace of the removal of the faucet of the citron body was clean, and the ripeness of the citron body was not seen.

`` Example 1-3 ''

 After the 30 citrons were lodged under the same conditions as in Example 1-1, the mixture was further placed under ethylene gas for 6 hours to promote the release of the nipple. Thereafter, 3O citrons in the basket were similarly taken out of the gas treatment chamber, and the attachment state of the tap was observed.

For all thirty citrons, the nipple looked like it was just loaded on the citron body.

Therefore, after the water was put into the tank for washing and stirring, the tap was separated from all 30 citrons. Similarly, the trace of removing the faucet of the citron body was also clean and unwound, and there was no fall of the pulp of the citron body.

`` Comparative Example 1-1 ''

3O citrons were lodged under the same conditions as in Example 1-1, and then placed under ethylene gas again for 4 hours. Thereafter, 30 citrons in the basket were taken out and the attachment state of the tap was observed.

For all 30 citrons, the nipple was still integral with the citron body.

Therefore, afterwards, the water was put into the tank to be washed for about 10 minutes, but the nipple remained attached to the fruit body. I tried to remove the two spigots inside, but the chops were cut off from the middle.

`` Comparative Example 1-2 ''

3O citrons were lodged under the same conditions as in Example 1-1, and then placed under ethylene gas again for 7 hours. Thereafter, 30 citrons were taken out of the basket, and the attachment state of the tap was observed.

The spigot was removed from the fruit body and looked like it was just loaded on the fruit, but most of the fruit was too ripe, causing some discoloration or shape collapse.

 Next, it demonstrates according to an accompanying drawing and FIG.

In this example, after facilitating the release of the faucet from the citrus fruit body by the ethylene gas or the ethylene mixed gas, applying a slight external force to remove the faucet. It is to remove the natural. That is, under the gas, acceleration of the release of the nipple by the physiological action of the gas is carried out continuously or once for a period of 5 hours to 6 hours after the completion of lodging. Thereafter, the mixture is lightly washed (C), that is, floated in a water bath, rinsed in water, and dried (D). At this point, the nipple is not removed. After this, juice (E R) is performed. The juice takes place by pressing P as shown in FIG. 6. For example, a citrus fruit is sandwiched between a belt and a belt, and it presses continuously and presses a juice. At this time, since external force is applied to the citrus fruit, the faucet (3) is naturally detached from the fruit (2) and the trace of removing the faucet (7) remains clean. On the other hand, the nipple 3 is removed from the juice foil 5 after obtaining the juice 4.

Example 2

Twenty cabooses were placed in a basket on a pallet and kept in a gas treatment chamber maintained at a temperature of 33 deg. C and a humidity range of 92%, and an ethylene mixed gas was injected into the gas treatment chamber to have a concentration of 12 ppm.
