Effect of Shock Loading on Food Processing

In the food industry, it is hoping high value-aided product and the increase in efficiency of food processing. On the other hand, we get an experimental result that the load of the shock wave improves an extraction of food, and soften food. But, the safe and high efficiency pressure vessel for the processing is necessary to apply these technologies to the food processing field actually. Therefore, we are planning the development of the pressure vessel for food processing. The fundamental data of the shock loading to food are necessary in order to make suitable vessel. As for these data, it is variety the specifications required by the kind of food and effect to expect. We report the result that shock wave loading was done to various food.
