Prepolarized pulse electric field disinfectant method and equipment thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of pasteurisation technology, particularly a kind of method and equipment thereof that adopts pre-polarization pulse electric field food, biology and fine chemical material etc. to be carried out pasteurisation.
Background technology
Traditional sterilizing methods can be divided into two kinds of chemical method and physics methods: chemical method mainly is to adopt chemosterilant that vessel and environment are carried out disinfection, and can not be applied directly on the food; The physics method mainly contains the heat sterilization method, but heat treatment has bigger infringement to the exterior qualities such as nutrition, local flavor and color and luster of food, also can cause some problems in the process.With the milk sterilization is example, enterprise generally adopts ultra high temperature short time sterilization now, promptly milk is carried out high-temperature sterilization about 3 seconds at 137 ℃, milk after this method is handled has the tangible high temperature smell of burning, color and luster flavescence, natural milk to reduce and produces protein denaturation precipitation (follow-up homogeneous operation can be covered this influence), even more serious is to cause a large amount of denatured protein to condense on the pipeline, cause line clogging, clean very inconvenience.Therefore, the sterilizing methods of seeking the efficient cryogenic practicality becomes the common heartfelt wishes of vast relevant enterprise.
The non-heat-sterilization technique of low temperature claims the cold sterilization technology again, is exactly extremely not to be the sterilizing methods of dominant mechanism with thermic, and now comparative maturity has irradiation and a high static pressure treatment technology etc.Irradiation technique is used in a large number in the solid-state and sterilization of packaged food, and its effect is very good, and a lot of export food adopt this technology.High static pressure technology only is applicable to small-scale intermittently operated at present, and its sterilization effect has also obtained the industry approval, and the health food of some high added values adopts this technology sterilization.But irradiation technique has residual, and the subsequent affect of food security, health is still waiting to do further long-acting demonstration; And high static pressure technology is not suitable for large-scale continuous production.
The more pasteurisation technology of report is the high-voltage pulse electric field sterilization both at home and abroad in recent years, has announced a kind of high voltage method for disinfection and device as Japanese Patent Laid communique 2000-262261; Japanese Patent Laid communique 2000-279146 has announced a kind of liquid material method for disinfection that adopts high-tension electricity to handle; U.S. Pat 5690978 has been announced the high-voltage pulse electric field processing chamber design that a kind of liquid towards material is handled; U.S. Pat 5048404 has been announced a kind of high voltage pulse treatment system that prolongs the pumpable food product commodity price phase, aforementioned these technology all relate to the high-strength impulse electric field of employing food material are carried out sterilization treatment, before entering high-strength impulse electric field, be not subjected to the less DC electrostatic field of another field intensity in advance and handle but relate to material, make material polarize in advance, with the top electric charge to strengthen the method for sterilization effect.
Application number is that 00259888 Chinese patent has been announced a kind of high-voltage pulse drinking water sterilization instrument; Application number is that 00220522 Chinese patent has been announced the cold sterilizing unit of a kind of liquid electric pulse; Application number be 03220551 Chinese patent announced a kind of continuously/semi continuous high intensity pulses magnetic field disinfection equipment.The Chinese patent 01130064 that the inventor applied for has been announced a kind of high-voltage pulse electric field sterilization method, reaches the high-voltage pulse electric field sterilization device of mainly being made up of high-voltage pulse electricity generating means, parameter measurement, demonstration and regulation device, shielding and automatic safety device, high-voltage pulse electric field processing chamber according to this method design; Another part Chinese patent 02152160 of inventor's application has been announced a kind of processor of impulse electric field sterilizing installation.Above-mentioned these technology also are not specifically related to the pre-polarization pulse electric field treatment of electrostatic field technology.
