Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain excellent qualities for a long period of time without carrying out conventional high-temperature sterilization for many hours by packing a solid food having high water activity and ethanol into a package and heat-treating by irradiation with microwave. CONSTITUTION:A solid food having >=0.85 water activity and ethanol are packed into a package equipped with an opening part, preliminarily heat-treated by irradiation with microwave and the package is evacuated in vacuum. Then an inert gas is introduced into the package, the interior of the package is replaced with the inert gas, the opening part of the package is hermetically sealed and the solid food is heat-treated by irradiation with microwave. In packing the solid food and ethanol into the package, both the solid food and ethanol are separately fed into the package or ethanol is added to the solid during preparation of the solid food to give an ethanol-containing solid food, which may be packed into the package. Gas concentration of ethanol in the package is preferably set to 0.17-0.8vol.% after the heat treatment by irradiation with microwave.

[Prior art 1 Problem to be solved by the invention] Generally,

Conventionally, the retort sterilization method, which enables long-term distribution at room temperature by sealing food in a flexible pouch and then heating and sterilizing it until microorganisms are killed, has been applied to foods such as meat, seafood, and vegetables.

However, when this retort sterilization method is applied to confectionery and other heat-sensitive foods, quality deterioration such as sudden changes in color tone, deterioration of flavor and deterioration of texture may occur, resulting in a significant loss of commercial value. Therefore, high temperature sterilization methods such as retort sterilization methods cannot be applied to these foods.

Methods such as adding salt or the like to reduce water activity, adding ethanol to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, or a combination of these methods have been implemented. However, foods to which these methods are applied must have a water activity of less than 0.85 in order to inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as yeast. If an attempt is made to improve the storage stability using the above method by increasing the water activity to 0.85 or more, the sweetness and saltiness will become excessively strong, and the ethanol odor will become strong, which is not preferable in terms of taste.

Therefore, one way to preserve foods with high water activity is to heat them for a short time using microwaves.
For example, ■ After filling food into a bag sealed on three sides and sealing the bag, a deaeration port is provided at the top of the bag, preheated, deaired, the deaeration port is sealed, and heat sterilization is performed using microwaves.

A method of returning the content to its original level (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-271971) has been proposed. Furthermore, as a method for purchasing gas, a gas mixture consisting of carbon dioxide and ethanol is filled into a packaging bag containing 0 food items, and after the bag is sealed, it is heated.

However, since method (2) above involves heat sterilization at 100° C. or higher under normal pressure, a support body for housing the bag is required to prevent the bag from breaking due to internal pressure, and the equipment must be large-scale. Furthermore, although the heat sterilization time is shortened, the color tone of the food changes to brown and the taste and flavor are inevitably impaired, and there is also the disadvantage that the shape of the packaging bag cannot be changed freely. Method (2) requires adjustment of the moisture content of the food before and after microwave irradiation, making the process complicated and lacking in practicality. On the other hand, method (2) has the problem that heating the sealed packaging bag may cause the bag to break due to internal pressure, and that the temperature of the food product is difficult to rise, resulting in poor sterilization effect due to heating. Furthermore, although method (2) above is effective in inhibiting the growth of mold and bacteria by satisfying the conditions of low water activity, low initial bacterial count level, and appropriate ethanol concentration, it is necessary to use ethanol to inhibit the growth of yeast. Since the air concentration needs to be 0.8% by volume or more, the original flavor of the food is impaired by the alcohol odor, which is undesirable.

In the present invention, the wrapping bag used to contain the above-mentioned solid food with high water activity is made of a laminate packaging material that is heat resistant, can be subjected to micro-filtering, and has an innermost surface that can be heat-sealed. As a specific example, a plastic film mainly made of stretched nylon, unstretched polypropylene, etc. and having a total thickness of about 50 to 100 μm is suitable. Note that it is also possible to place the solid food in the polycarbonate 1 in advance into a tray made of a plastic material such as Teflon, and then store it in the above-mentioned packaging bag.

First, in method (1), the solid food is packed together with ethanol in the above-mentioned packaging bag, but in this case, in addition to storing both in the packaging bag separately, ethanol is added and mixed during the preparation of the solid food to contain ethanol. A solid food may be obtained and placed in a packaging bag. Here, it is necessary to set the concentration of ethanol in the air in the wrapping bag to be 0.17 to 0.8% by volume after heat treatment by microwave irradiation, which will be described later. If the ethanol concentration in the air inside the packaging bag is less than 0.17% by volume, the number of viable bacteria cannot be sufficiently suppressed, while if it exceeds 0.8% by volume, the food will give an alcoholic odor and may be damaged. The original flavor will be lost.

After the solid food is placed in a packaging bag together with ethanol, it is placed in a microwave oven and preheated by microwave irradiation. Irradiation time varies depending on the shape of the food, but
Normally, this is done when the product temperature reaches around 100°C.

Next, the inside of the packaging bag is vacuum degassed, and then inert gas is introduced to perform gas replacement. Vacuum degassing involves degassing the air inside the bag using, for example, a vacuum degassing gas exchanger. Further, gas replacement uses inert gas such as carbon dioxide gas or nitrogen gas alone or in combination to replace the air in the bag.

The inside of the packaging bag is vacuum degassed, then an inert gas is introduced to replace the gas, the opening of the packaging bag is sealed, and then microwaves are irradiated to heat the bag. The microwave irradiation at this time may be performed so that the temperature of the solid food increases to about 80°C. In addition, if the temperature of the solid food is increased by heat transfer from the outside of the package using hot water, steam, hot air, etc. instead of heat treatment using microwave irradiation, heating will take a long time and the temperature will not reach the specified temperature. The bag may not reach this point and break due to internal pressure.

In the method (2) of the present invention, only the solid food is placed in the packaging bag, and the packaging bag is preheated by microwave irradiation in the same manner as in the method (1).9Then, the packaging bag is vacuumed. After degassing, a mixed gas of inert gas and ethanol gas is introduced. Here, the mixed gas can also be introduced by adding powdered ethanol into the packaging bag and then replacing the gas. In this case as well, the concentration of ethanol in the air inside the package after heat treatment by microwave bombardment is 0.17 to 0.
It is necessary to add it to 8% by volume.

Further, in the method (3) of the present invention, after storing the solid food in the wrapping bag in the same manner as in the method (2) above, a preheating treatment is performed by microwave irradiation, and then
The inside of the packaging bag is vacuum degassed in the same manner as in the method described above, and then inert gas is introduced to replace the gas, and the opening of the packaging bag is then sealed.
