Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a centrifugation dewatering apparatus that is capable of using a flow of air to dry a material to be dewatered while the material is being subjected to centrifugation dewatering. A centrifugation dewatering apparatus has a water-draining basket (2) for accommodating a material to be dewatered (i), and the water-draining basket (2) is rotatably provided to an apparatus main body (3). The water-draining basket (2) is rotatably driven, whereby water that has adhered to the material to be dewatered (i) is centrifugally removed. A hollow rotating shaft part (5) that is caused to rotate using a drive source (4) is vertically provided to the apparatus main body (3). The water-draining basket (2), which rotates in tandem with the rotating shaft part (5), is provided to a periphery of the rotating shaft part (5). The interior of the hollow rotating shaft part (5) and the interior of the water-draining basket (2) are provided in a communicating state.

Abstract: [Object] An object of the present invention is to provide an extremely practical and innovative food product heat treatment method capable of performing the same heat cooking and heat sterilization as that of the conventional technique while enhancing economy and productivity in comparison with the conventional technique. [Means of Achievement] The food product heat treatment method is characterized in comprising placing a food product (2) in a hermetically sealed vessel (1) in which a prescribed vapor pressure is maintained or can be maintained; injecting a heating liquid heated by a heating source (8) to 100° C.
