Apparatus of enriching gamma-aminobutyric acid of grain

Abstract

The invention provides an apparatus of enriching gamma-aminobutyric acid of grains. The apparatus can stabilize the grain quality of finished grain products by uniforming the gamma-aminobutyric acid of grains by suppressing the fluctuation of the temperature of the humidifying warm air. The apparatus comprises a container for storing grains and a humidifying and warm air generating section of a humidifying portion for humidifying air, and is characterized in that the apparatus has a circulation path, through which humidified warm air is supplied to the container from the humidifying and warm air generating section, the humidified warm air is used to heat and humidify grains in the container. The humidified warm air, after heating and humidifying grains in the container, is discharged from the container and flows upward to the humidifying and warm air generating section for circulation. The humidifying portion is a humidifying portion that utilizes steam, and a water adding potion is arranged on the downstream side of the humidifying portion for supplying water to the humidified warm air to be supplied to the container.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a γ-aminobutyric acid enriching device for enriching γ-aminobutyric acid contained in grains such as rice, brown rice, beans, and wheat. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known a device for enriching the content of γ-aminobutyric acid (common name (GABA)") contained in grains such as rice (see Patent Document 1). [0003] The γ-aminobutyric acid enrichment device described in Patent Document 1 includes: a container for storing rice; an air supply tunnel arranged on one side of the container and sending humidified warm air into the container; On the other side, there is an exhaust tunnel that discharges humidified warm air from the above container. [0004] In the above-mentioned container, a plurality of air supply pipes with porous walls for sending humidified warm air from the above-mentioned air-supply tunnel and a plurality of air discharge pipes with porous walls for discharging the above-ment...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0016] However, since the opening and closing of the exhaust valve 112 and the intake valve 113 are repeated during the operation of the γ-aminobutyric acid enrichment device, the temperature of the humidifying warm air fluctuates greatly, and the γ-aminobutyric acid in the grain Acid enrichment treatment becomes uneven

As a result, there is a problem that the quality of the finished grain varies
