Title:
CONTINUOUS FOOD MATERIAL-HEATING METHOD AND CONTINUOUS HEATING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/099907
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the invention is to design a high efficiency continuous edible meat heating method and heating device that use joule heating, which: can continuously heat an edible meat-containing food material, which has a tendency to accumulate and lose conveyability; do not easily generate scale in the conduit line during conveyance; and are capable of heating continuously up to temperatures at which the protein in the edible meat denatures. The continuous heating device is a continuous food material heating device wherein: a conduit line (1) that conveys an edible meat-containing food material (A) is obtained from a small diameter inner tube (3) held inside an outer tube (2) via pillar-shaped insulated spacers (4); the gap between the inner tube (3) and the outer tube (2) is filled with a conductive aqueous saline solution (Ws) supplied from a pipe arrangement (5); a portion of the outer tube (2) is provided by an insulated tube (6) and one or more pairs of circular electrodes (7) with the insulated tube (6) disposed therebetween; an alternating current source (E) is connected to the circular electrodes (7); and joule heating is generated in the food material (A) that is conveyed in contact with the conductive aqueous saline solution (Ws) and the inside of the inner tube (3). The inner tube (3) is formed from a material that is impermeable to the edible meat-containing food material and is water permeable. The food material (A) is electrified via the water-permeable inner tube (3) impregnated with the conductive aqueous saline solution (Ws) and is joule-heated.
