Problems solved by technology

[0008] In recent years, a large number of studies have been carried out on the effect of pulsed electric field on liquid food sterilization and enzyme elimination, and the impact of food quality, which has laid a good foundation for the industrial application of pulsed electric field sterilization technology, but the current research is still in the small-scale laboratory conditions. To achieve industrial application, there are still many shortcomings:
[0009] (1) The current pulse electric field uses high field strength for sterilization, and high pulse electric field strength has high requirements on equipment. At the same time, high electric field strength will cause great damage to key components in pulse electric field equipment, reduce service life, and increase production costs.
[0010] (2) The electrolyte content of liquid food is high, so the conductivity is large. Under the action of high electric field strength, the temperature of the material will increase greatly, which will affect the quality of liquid food.
[0011] (3) The killing effect on pathogenic bacteria with high resistance to pulsed electric field, such as Listeria monocytogenes and spores is not obvious
[0012] (4) The latent heat generated in the pulse electric field sterilization process is not comprehensively utilized

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for killing Listeria monocytogenes in a low-temperature stress enhanced pulsed electric field. The method comprises the following steps: (1) taking a fresh liquid sample; (2) performing programmed freezing storage on the liquid sample, namely storing the sample at the temperature of 13-17 DEG C for 1-2 hours, reducing the temperature to be 3-7 DEG C and storing for 1-2 hours; and (3) heating the liquid sample to 35-40 DEG C, and immediately performing pulsed electric field treatment. According to the method, an effect of effectively killing the Listeria monocytogenes with low pulsed electric field intensity can be achieved, and the method is efficient and safe and has an energy-saving effect.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of non-thermal processing of food, in particular to a method for killing Listeria monocytogenes by intensifying pulsed electric field under low temperature stress. Background technique [0002] Pulsed electric field sterilization high-voltage pulsed electric field sterilization (PEF) is a non-thermal sterilization technology. Compared with traditional thermal processing, it can better maintain food nutrients, color, flavor, and effectively prolong the shelf life of food. It is a very promising non-thermal food processing technology for industrial application. At present, there have been a lot of in-depth studies on the bactericidal effect of pulsed electric field on microorganisms, and it has been confirmed that the pulsed electric field has a good killing effect on the vegetative cells of microorganisms, but it has a high resistance to the pulsed electric field. The killing effect of special bacteria and spores is n...
