Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an ionization method and an apparatus for the same that can be applied to any type of environment and that can achieve efficient ionization.

Conventionally, it has been known that ionized water can be obtained by placing a single terminal electrode of an AC high electrostatic potential generator into a suspension of fine powder of a basic inorganic substance directly in water and applying an AC high electrostatic potential. However, since fine powder of basic inorganic substance is used,
It was very time-consuming as it had to be sipped after ionization.

It is also known to directly apply an AC high electrostatic potential to a solid substance to be ionized using the AC aged potential generator. However, no method has been proposed that can be applied to either solid or liquid foods and drinks and can achieve efficient ionization.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has been developed in the case of food and beverages that use a solid material as a main ingredient and its extract, solution, or squeezed liquid. A part of the food and drink is selectively applied to both at predetermined intervals using one AC high electrostatic potential generator, or by applying an AC elderly potential in a UV manner, without changing the basic components of the substance itself. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for ionizing food and drink, which not only has a deodorizing effect and a preservative effect but also has a mild taste and is easily absorbed into the body and can be used as a health food.

One end of a discharge pipe 36 equipped with a pump 34 and a valve 35 in the middle is connected to the lower part of the receiver 33, and the other end of the discharge pipe 3 (5) is connected to the upper part of the sub-tank 37. One end of a discharge pipe 36a equipped with a pump 34a and a valve 35a is connected to the receiver provided in the vessel 33, and the other end of the discharge pipe 36a is connected to the liquid inlet 42 at the upper part of the container 41 of the processing device 40. Connected removably.

The container 41 of the processing device 40 is provided with a liquid outlet 44 equipped with a valve 43 at the bottom, and the upper lid 45 is provided with the liquid inlet 42, a gas exhaust port 46, and an air pipe 47.
The lower end of the air pipe 47 is opened at the lower part of the container 41, and the upper end of the air pipe 47 is sealed with N49 passed through an electrode coil 48. The electrode coil 48 is connected to the other connection terminal of the switch 18 via a conductor 50 It is connected to 18-2. Further, a blower pump 52 is provided with an intake pipe 51 on the upper end side of the air pipe 47.
The air pipe 54 provided with the valve 53 and the valve 53 opens. Further, the support leg portion 55 of the container 41 is insulated with an insulator 56. Furthermore, a receiver 57 is provided below the liquid discharge port 44.

Next, an example will be explained in which the method of the present invention is applied to Chinese tea having a unique odor using the above-mentioned apparatus. First, tea leaves are placed in the solid food processing container 21 for 8 minutes, the switch 18 is connected to the terminal 18-1, and the AC high electrostatic potential generator 10 is heated for a predetermined interval, for example, 30 seconds. Then, an AC aged potential, for example, t of 5.000 V or more is applied to the tea leaves. Here, high-potential alternating current radio waves ionize the water and other components of the tea leaves. After processing, the valve 23 is opened and the tea leaves are taken out from the discharge port 22 onto the receiver 29. By pouring regular hot water over the tea leaves as they are, the unique odor disappears, and you get ionized tea with a mellow taste that is easily absorbed by the body, so you can store it in a sealed container and use it immediately after processing. .

Further, the processed tea leaves are transferred to the extraction device 30 and the tea leaves are transferred to the extraction device 30.
1. Drop an appropriate amount of hot water at an appropriate temperature from the hot water supply device 32 onto the exposed tea leaves, and collect the tea extract in the receiver 33. 1. Open the valve 35 and pump the extracted liquid. 34, the inside of the discharge pipe 36 is sent to the sub tank 37. This operation is repeated to store the extract in the sub-tank 37. Next, sub tank 3
After connecting the end of the discharge pipe 36a provided in 7 to the inlet 41 of the liquid processing container 40, the extract stored in the sub-tank 37 is injected into the container 40 by opening the valve 35ai and using the pump 34a. A predetermined amount of the extract liquid is put into the container 41. Here, if the switch 18 is connected to the terminal 18-2 and an AC high electrostatic potential is applied to the AC aged potential generator 10 under the conditions described above, the valve 53 is opened and the blower pump 52 is operated, the air inside the air pipe 47 is is partially ozonated by the application of a high electrostatic potential, and the air pipe 4
From the lower end of 7, it becomes bubbles and rises in the extract. The air rising in the form of bubbles stirs the extract and at the same time ionizes the extract. As a result, the water in the tea extract is ionized and the divine ingredients in the tea leaf extract are also ionized, which further eliminates the unique odor, making the taste milder, making it easier to absorb into the body, and passing through the mouth. It is not necessary and can be served as a drink.

Here, the solid food and drink processing step and the liquid food and drink processing step can be operated independently as described above, and if the switch 18 is connected to both terminals 18-1 and 18-2, the solid food and drink processing step can be performed. The liquid food and drink processing process can be processed simultaneously in parallel using one AC high electrostatic potential generator (flo). Although the above embodiments have been explained using Chinese tea as an example, it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to soy milk, natto, and other solid or liquid foods and drinks. Alternatively, a high electrostatic potential may be applied in a pulsed manner.

As explained above, according to the method of the present invention, a high electrostatic potential is applied to the food and drink to be treated using an AC aged potential generator at predetermined intervals or in a pulsed manner, so that a deodorizing effect and a preservative effect on the food and drink can be obtained. Needless to say, the ionization efficiency can be further improved. In addition, one AC aged potential generator can simultaneously generate solid food and drink in the form of powder, small particles, or small pieces and liquid food and drink such as extracts, solutions, or squeezed liquids of the solid food and drink, either simultaneously or individually. It is easy and economical to treat solid foods and drinks, and by ionizing some of the moisture and other natural components in solid foods, it not only has deodorizing and preservative effects, but also improves taste. Solid foods that are mellow and easily absorbed by the body and can be used as health foods can be obtained, and when processing liquids only, ionization of water and partial ionization of various natural ingredients dissolved in water can be used to deodorize. Not only is it effective and preservative, but it also makes the taste mellower.
A liquid food or drink that is easily absorbed into the body and can be used as a health food can be obtained, and furthermore, when the two are used together, the effect is further increased.
