Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the inoculation operation while increasing the cooling speed, preventing bumping phenomenon and shortening the total sterilization and cooling time by increasing the opening of a valve with time in the cooling of a mushroom medium after sterilization utilizing an opening controlling valve of an exhaustion channel in the pressure-reducing stage and the vacuum cooling stage. CONSTITUTION:A medium for mushroom is packed in a plastic vessel, filled in a high-temperature and pressure steam sterilizer and sterilized. The cooling speed of the sterilized medium is controlled by increasing the opening of an opening-controlling valve of an exhaustion channel with time in plural stages in the pressure-reducing stage to cool the medium to 100 deg.C and the vacuum cooling stage to cool from 100 deg.C to room temperature (about 25 deg.C) or below. Since the medium is delivered from the sterilization apparatus at 40 deg.C, the mushroom spawn can be immediately inoculated to the medium.

In order to improve the sterilization method in the above example, the applicant used a vacuum generator in the sterilization process to once reduce the pressure inside the sterilizer, inject steam, and repeat the process of returning it to normal pressure at least twice. In addition, it was proposed to use vacuum cooling means during cooling (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1-285123).

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, when natural cooling is performed in the cooling process, cooling takes more than 7 hours, and at the end of this cooling process, it is cooled to about 85°C. Therefore, it is not possible to immediately plant mushrooms, etc. in the culture medium. Therefore, there was a problem in that it required a long period of time, such as storing it in a refrigerator overnight.

Furthermore, when performing the sterilization process using a vacuum generator and vacuum cooling, although the time can be shortened, rapid cooling causes self-evaporation of the culture medium, causing a bumping phenomenon.
The lid of the container loaded with the culture medium may pop, the mushroom germination may be poor after culturing the mushroom fungus, resulting in a decrease in yield, and the hole in the culture medium may become clogged, resulting in poor mycelium rotation, resulting in a reduction in yield. Problems such as a decrease in performance occur.

Function In the present invention, after sterilization, the temperature inside the high-temperature high-pressure sterilizer is set to 100°C.
The opening of the opening control valve is increased over time in multiple stages during both the pressure-reducing process (cooling down to 760 Torr) and the vacuum cooling process (cooling from 100°C to below room temperature (approximately 25°C)). This increases the exhaust volume, lowers the pressure, and increases the cooling speed, so the culture medium packed in the plastic container is cooled in a stable state in a short time.
