2. Description of the Related Art When food is subjected to high water pressure of several thousand atmospheric pressure, proteins and starch are denatured and microorganisms are sterilized. Moreover, the sterilization treatment at this time is different from the heat sterilization treatment, and since the raw flavor and nutrients of the food are not destroyed, it is being put to practical use as a new cooking, processing and sterilization method for food.
By the way, when the food is a liquid containing a solid or a paste (for example, preserve type jam, fruit sauce, etc.), batch processing is suitable for performing the above-mentioned sterilization. This method will be described in detail below. First, as shown on the left side of FIG. 4, a flexible plastic container (package) 28 is filled with a treatment object 10 such as food and hermetically sealed. Note that 28a is a cup-shaped container, 28b is a seal lid, and the container 28a and the seal lid 28b are generally joined by heat welding (heat sealing), whereby the inside is held in a sealed state. A large number of the packages 28 are stacked on a cylindrical basket 27 and are housed in a high-pressure container. The high-pressure container is composed of a high-pressure container body 21, an upper lid 22 and a lower lid 23, and this lid is provided with a high-pressure seal 24 for keeping the internal water pressure liquid-tight. After filling the inside of the high-pressure container with the container housed in the high-pressure container, high-pressure water is supplied by the high-pressure pump 25 from the high-pressure pipe 26 connected to the water supply port penetrating the lower lid 23 to increase the pressure inside the container. .. At this time, the package 28 contracts under hydrostatic pressure and contracts inside the object 1 to be processed.
0 also has the same high pressure, which causes physical property changes and sterilization.

FIG. 5 shows an example of another type of package,
Reference numeral 29 is a large-sized plastic bag which has a size equal to the inner diameter of the basket 27 and which is exclusively for business use. Also in this case, the object to be treated 10 is filled in the bag 29 in advance and then sealed by heat sealing or the like. The bag 29 is put in the basket 27 and then stored in the high-pressure container, and pressurized water is supplied into the same container through the high-pressure pipe 26. After the inside of the high pressure container is pressurized to a high pressure for a predetermined time, the high pressure valve 31 is opened to release pressurized water to reduce the pressure inside the high pressure container. After depressurizing, the upper lid 22 is opened, and the bag 29 is taken out together with the basket 27. The bag 29 is drained, dried, labeled, and shipped as a product after packaging.

By the way, in the case of the package container shown in FIG. 4, since the package container itself filled with the contents is the final product, the designability of the package container is emphasized, and the container shape is inevitably circular. In many cases, it is cup-shaped. However, in this case, the number of cups to be filled in the basket is limited, and at the same time, the gap between the cups is increased, so that the volume ratio is remarkably reduced and the production efficiency is poor. Further, in the case of FIG. 5, since a large bag-shaped container having almost the same inner diameter as the basket is used, the volume ratio becomes high, and the defect as in the case of FIG. 4 is solved, but in this case, a large bag-shaped container is used. Although it is applicable to some commercial purposes, it is difficult to apply to general consumers.

The package container is made of a flexible plastic molded product so that the water pressure can be transmitted to the object to be processed. For this reason, it is difficult to use a glass container or a metal can container that is damaged and deformed by pressure. This results in narrowing the selection range of the material of the food container, and for example, a high-quality glass bottle or the like cannot be used as a package container, and the product form is limited. One way to solve this is to open the large bag container shown in Fig. 5 in an aseptic environment and supply it to the aseptic filling device as a processed raw material, so that it can be refilled into various small containers for general consumers. Becomes However, handling of a large plastic bag is not easy, and it is difficult to reuse such a plastic bag container once it is opened, and the container has to be discarded after all, which is uneconomical.

In the case of liquid food, instead of pressurizing after filling the package, the high pressure container is directly filled with the liquid to be treated,
A method of high-pressure treatment has been put into practical use (Japanese Patent Application No. 3-87).
193). However, even with this method, in the case of paste-like food containing solid matter such as jam, the fluidity is poor, so that clogging or the like occurs in the high-pressure valve portion, making it difficult to perform direct liquid treatment. Further, it is necessary to prevent recontamination of microorganisms in the post-process line of the high-pressure device (high-pressure treatment), and there is a problem that equipment cost of the post-line is high and maintenance is difficult.
The present invention uses a reusable high-pressure processing container, sterilizes the object to be processed, and then proposes a high-pressure processing container and a high-pressure processing method capable of filling the object to be processed into a package container in an aseptic state. To solve the problems of

Next, the process of high-pressure treatment using this container will be described with reference to FIG. The piston lid 2 is removed, and the object 10 to be processed is filled in the cylindrical container 1 of the container. Sanitary valve 6 at this time
Is closed. The piston lid 2 is inserted into the cylindrical container 1 with the air vent valve 4 opened. The outer periphery of the piston lid 2 is hermetically sealed by the seal 3, and the air remaining above the workpiece 10 is exhausted to the outside through the valve 4, and when the insertion of the lid 2 is completed, the inside of the container is covered. It is filled with the processed material 10. Here, the valve 4 is closed to completely seal the inside. The hook 5 is attached to the container, the container is hoisted using the hook 5, and the container is stored in the high-pressure container. It is desirable that the outer diameter of the container is smaller than the inner diameter of the high-pressure container by the amount of the gap that can be charged into the high-pressure container. Then, after the container is put into the container, the container is filled with water and the high-pressure container lid 22 is closed.
23 is supported by the yoke frame 30. The high-pressure pump 25 feeds high-pressure water into the high-pressure container to pressurize the inside of the container under high pressure. The pressure at this time moves the piston lid 2 of the container liquid-tight into the container, and the object 10 is compressed and pressurized to the same pressure as the high-pressure water.
That is, the inside and outside of the cylindrical container 1 have the same pressure, and even if the container cylinder is thin, it will not be damaged or deformed by crushing or expanding. After pressurizing at a predetermined pressure for a predetermined time, the high pressure valve 31
Is opened, and pressurized water is discharged to reduce the pressure inside the high-pressure container.
At this time, the piston lid 2 moves upward, and the inside of the container is also depressurized. After depressurizing, the upper lid 22 is opened and the container is taken out from the high pressure container.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the outer diameter of the cylindrical container of the container is only slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the high-pressure container, and the container itself is formed to be thin. The storage amount when the container is fully filled can be increased, and the volume ratio of the object to be processed to the high-pressure container can be increased. Further, since the object to be processed is once taken out of the container after the high-pressure treatment and filled in the final container with an aseptic filling machine, a glass container, a metal container or the like can be freely selected as the final container. Further, since the object to be treated is subjected to high pressure treatment without directly contacting the pressurized water or the high pressure container, it is excellent in hygiene and it is not necessary for the high pressure container side to consider corrosion resistance other than the pressurized water. Needless to say, the container has an excellent effect that it can be reused many times.
