20100055277PROCESS FOR PRODUCING FUNCTIONAL MATERIAL, THE FUNCTIONAL MATERIAL AND CONTINUOUS HEATING APPARATUS FOR OBTAINING THE SAME - A process for preparing a functional material by heat-treating a skin portion of poultry to carry out deoiling and defatting and to concentrate and pasteurize human-type sphingomyelin and plasmalogen-type glycerophospholipid contained in said skin portion, said heat-treatment comprising the steps of (A) continuously injecting hot water heated to 100° C. or higher and/or steam into a heating chamber of a semi-sealed space having said temperature or higher, to generate water microdroplets and moist hot steam, (B) replacing air in said heating chamber with said water microdroplets and moist hot steam, to fill a gas component (gaseous water) that has a composition having a relative humidity of 95% or more and an oxygen concentration of 0.2% by volume or less and that is maintained in a temperature range of 100 to 115° C., (C) injecting steam in a 100% wet state to said gaseous water to stably form a composite heating medium composed of hot water, water microdroplets and steam, and (D) applying continuous amplitude heating including a temperature difference of at least 10° C. to the skin portion of poultry with said composite heating medium in an atmosphere having a temperature of 100 to 115° C. and an oxygen concentration of 0.2% by volume or less.03-04-2010
20120230660METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING A HEATING MEDIUM - Provided are a method and device for generating a steam heating medium, the method involving generating, from a nozzle, Aqua-gas or low-temperature superheated steam that is a steam heating medium by operating an electrothermal-type generator or a steam-type generator. The method comprises the step of generating Aqua-gas by increasing a water supply amount in such a manner that an internal nozzle pressure takes on a constant value exceeding a saturated water vapor pressure of water at each internal nozzle pressure set temperature; or generating low-temperature superheated steam by reducing the water supply amount in such a manner that the internal nozzle pressure does not exceed the saturated water vapor pressure of water at each internal nozzle pressure set temperature, in a relational expression relating to a flow rate of water vapor sprayed from the nozzle, and given by Expression 1 or Expression 2, as prescribed in the present invention.09-13-2012
