  • Patent number: 8677892
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling microorganisms in food materials, by which bacterial groups that cause deterioration of the quality of food materials such as poultry and pathogenic microorganisms that cause food poisoning can be efficiently controlled. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for controlling microorganisms in food materials, comprising a step of subjecting a food material immersed in a sterilizing solution to repeated treatment with negative pressure and ordinary pressure and/or a step of subjecting the food material immersed in the sterilizing solution to resonant ultrasonication.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 25, 2014
    Assignees: University of Miyazaki, Kaijo Corporation
    Inventors: Naoki Misawa, Junichiro Soejima, Katsuhiro Koyama

  • Patent number: 8087418
    Abstract: A deaeration device for bubbling dissolved air in the cleaning liquid by cavitation is connected on a cleaning-liquid circulation path so as to bubble the dissolved air in the cleaning liquid flowing through the cleaning-liquid circulation path, and the bubbled dissolved air flows back to the cleaning tank together with the cleaning liquid so that the bubbled dissolved air is ejected from the liquid surface of the cleaning tank to the outside of the tank. Moreover, a propeller-type pump is used as the circulating pump, and the dissolved air concentration of the cleaning liquid is controlled within a range of 2.5 to 3.5 mg/l.

  • Publication number: 20060283328
    Abstract: A cleaning-liquid circulation path is formed so that cleaning liquid in a cleaning tank is suctioned by a circulating pump and circulated through a predetermined path and then, returned to the cleaning tank again. A deaeration device for bubbling dissolved air in the cleaning liquid by cavitation is connected on the way of the cleaning-liquid circulation path so as to bubble the dissolved air in the cleaning liquid flowing through the cleaning-liquid circulation path by the deaeration device, and the bubbled dissolved air flows back to the cleaning tank together with the cleaning liquid so that the bubbled dissolved air is ejected from the liquid surface of the cleaning tank to the outside of the tank. Moreover, a propeller-type pump is used as the circulating pump, and the dissolved air concentration of the cleaning liquid is controlled within a range of 2.5 to 3.5 mg/l.
