Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Maillard reaction tanks, in particular to a food flavor Maillard thermal reaction device. Background Art

[0002] The Maillard reaction, also known as the carbonyl-amine reaction or non-enzymatic browning reaction, describes a series of polymerization and condensation reactions between free amino groups and carbonyl groups in organic compounds, either at room temperature or under heating, ultimately producing brown or dark brown macromolecules called pseudo-melanins. This reaction is particularly common in food, such as the browning of steak after cooking and the formation of caramel. Maillard reaction products (primarily melanoidins, reducing ketones, and heterocyclic compounds containing N, S, and O) are the primary source of flavor in meat products. The antioxidant properties of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) are gaining increasing attention as an alternative to phenolic antioxidants.

[0003] In the process flow of food flavors, the following process is generally required: raw materials (beef, chicken or pork) → picking → cleaning → crushing → enzymatic hydrolysis → filtration → blending → reaction → sterilization → mixing → stirring and cooling, and then, according to needs, it will be spray-dried to make powdered food flavors, or filled to make paste food flavors.

[0004] Among them, the enzymatic hydrolysis process prepares the raw materials into enzymatic hydrolysate, and the enzymatic hydrolysate is filtered and blended (reducing sugar, etc. are added) before undergoing Maillard reaction in a Maillard reactor.

[0005] In existing Maillard reactors, the enzymatic hydrolyzate in the reactor is typically heated or cooled only through a jacket or coil. The jacket, a sealed space surrounding the reactor, is relatively simple in structure and easy to manufacture and install. However, the medium within it is not in sufficient contact with the reactor, resulting in low heat transfer efficiency and limited temperature control accuracy, but it facilitates rapid cooling. The coil, located inside the reactor, provides sufficient contact between the medium and the reactor, high heat transfer efficiency and high temperature control accuracy, but it is not conducive to rapid cooling.

[0006] Therefore, in view of the advantages and disadvantages of the above-mentioned jackets and coils, using only jackets or only coils in the process flow of food flavors can no longer meet production needs. Utility Model Content

[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5In the embodiment of the food flavored melade thermal reaction equipment of the present invention shown, the food flavored melade thermal reaction equipment includes a tank body 100 and a tank cover 200, and the tank body 100 and the tank cover 200 are fixedly connected by a tank body connecting flange. The tank cover 200 is provided with a feed port 202 and a stirring shaft 6, and the stirring shaft 6 is passed through the tank cover 200. The stirring shaft 6 is driven by a motor 300. The stirrer fixed on the stirring shaft 6 is arranged in the tank body 100, and the bottom end of the tank body 100 is provided with a discharge port 103. The tank body 100 is provided with a jacket 2 and a coil 4 for heating or cooling the tank body 100.

[0030] The specific structure of the tank cover 200 is as follows: a feed flange 203 is provided at the feed port 202 for connecting the feed pipe; the stirring shaft 6 and the tank cover 200 are connected through a bearing, and a motor connecting flange 204 is fixedly provided on the tank cover 200 on the outer periphery of the stirring shaft 6, and a motor bracket 205 is fixedly connected to the motor connecting flange 204, and a reduction gear box and a motor 300 are fixedly provided on the motor bracket.

[0031] The specific structure of the tank body 100 is as follows: the tank body 100 is a three-layer structure, which is arranged from the inside to the outside in sequence as an inner liner 1, a jacket 2 and an outer shell 3. A coil 4 is provided between the inner liner 1 and the jacket 2, and the coil 4 is attached to the outer wall of the inner liner 1; specifically, both ends of the coil 4 are connected to water vapor pipes, and the upper and lower ends of the jacket 2 are connected to liquid pipes. The liquid interlayer 101 between the inner liner 1 and the jacket 2 is connected to the liquid pipe, and auxiliary heating liquid or cooling liquid can pass through the liquid interlayer 101. The thermal insulation interlayer 102 between the jacket 2 and the outer shell 3 is provided with thermal insulation material.

[0032] According to the above-mentioned tank body 100 structure, a hot medium (usually water vapor) can pass through the coil 4 to heat the inner liner 1, and a cold medium (such as coolant) can also pass through the coil 4 to cool the inner liner 1; a hot medium (such as hot liquid) can pass through the liquid interlayer 101 to provide auxiliary heating for the coil 4 and the inner liner, and a cold medium (such as coolant) can also pass through the liquid interlayer 101 to cool the coil 4 and the inner liner 1.

[0033] The heat medium flows through the liquid interlayer 101 and the coil 4 at the same time. Compared with using only the coil 4 or only the jacket 2 to pass the heat medium, the water vapor in the coil 4 will not cause the heat medium temperature to drop rapidly due to the low initial temperature of the tank body 100 (such as the water vapor re-condenses into water), making the overall heating efficiency of the reaction tank lower in the early stage, that is, it plays a role of auxiliary heating, thereby increasing the overall heating efficiency; at the same time, the heat medium in the liquid interlayer 101 can also play a role of insulation; at the same time, the heat medium in the liquid interlayer 101 can also heat the reaction tank. In conjunction with the temperature of the coil 4, regulating the temperature of the heat medium in the liquid interlayer 101 can also change the overall heating temperature, further enhancing the temperature control accuracy.

[0034] The cooling medium flows through the liquid interlayer 101 and the coil 4 at the same time, which can significantly increase the cooling efficiency compared to only using the coil 4 or only using the jacket 2 to pass the cooling medium.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the coil 4 is a semicircular tube, and the straight edge of the semicircular cross section of the coil 4 fits in the inner tank 1 to enhance the heat transfer efficiency of the coil 4 to the reaction tank.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the upper end of the coil 4 is connected to the water vapor inlet pipe, and the lower end of the coil 4 is connected to the water vapor exhaust pipe; the lower end of the jacket 2 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe, and the upper end of the jacket 2 is connected to the liquid exhaust pipe; in this way, the water vapor in the coil 4 enters from the top and is discharged from the bottom, which is convenient for it to be discharged when it condenses into water; the liquid medium in the liquid interlayer 101 enters from the bottom and is discharged from the top, so that it forms an opposite entry and exit direction to the medium in the coil 4, which can further enhance the auxiliary heating, cooling, heat preservation and regulation functions of the liquid interlayer 101, which is beneficial to the overall temperature control of the reaction tank.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, a discharge port connecting flange 5 is provided at the bottom end of the tank body 100, and the discharge port connecting flange 5 is sealedly connected to the inner tank 1, the jacket 2, and the outer shell 3, respectively, so that the lower ends of the liquid interlayer 101 and the thermal insulation interlayer 102 extend to the discharge port connecting flange 5 of the tank body 100; the bottom end of the discharge port connecting flange 5 is connected to a valve 51 and a discharge pipe.

[0039] In combination with the above embodiments, preferably, the tank body 100 and the tank cover 200 are fixedly connected via a tank body connecting flange, and the tank body connecting flange on the tank body 100 is sealedly connected to the inner liner 1 and the outer shell 3 respectively, so that the outer shell 3 and the inner liner 1 are connected to the upper end tank body connecting flange of the tank body 100 and the lower end discharge port connecting flange 5. The outer shell 3 can effectively support the reaction tank as a whole, and the outer wall of the outer shell 3 can be provided with a bracket for supporting the reaction tank; the interior of the inner liner 1 provides a flat space for Maillard reaction.

[0040] In combination with the above embodiments, preferably, the top of the jacket 2 is sealed and connected to the side wall of the inner liner 1; in the range between the top of the jacket 2 and the tank body connecting flange, the inner liner 1 and the outer shell 3 form an insulating interlayer 102, and the insulating interlayer 102 extends from the upper end tank body connecting flange of the tank body 100 to the lower end discharge port connecting flange 5 to provide a good insulation effect; the top of the jacket 2 does not extend to the tank body connecting flange, and the outer shell 3 is bent here, which can make the diameter of the tank body connecting flange compact.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, a gap is provided between the upper and lower adjacent layers of pipes on the coil 4, so that the medium in the liquid interlayer 101 can directly act on the inner tank 1 through the gap; a gap is provided between the coil 4 and the inner wall of the jacket 2, so that the medium in the liquid interlayer 101 can effectively act on the coil 4.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, a heat-insulating material is provided in the heat-insulating cavity 201 provided between the inner and outer walls of the tank cover 200 .
