A pulse sterilization component 640 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting housing 630. A near-infrared spectral detection probe 650 is fixed to the bottom of the cover plate 230. A feeding mechanism is provided at the bottom of the mounting tank 220. With the storage and sterilization mechanisms, fruit and vegetable juice enters the first storage mechanism via the feeding mechanism, is stored in the mounting tank 220, has its internal pressure regulated by a pressurization mechanism, its temperature adjusted by the heating controller 610 and heating ring 620, and is sterilized by the pulse sterilization component 640. The combined mechanism enables the sterilization of fruit and vegetable juice. The vegetable juice undergoes a combined high-pressure and pulsed low-temperature thermal field sterilization process. After sterilization of a single batch, the juice from the first batch is transferred to the second batch via a conveying mechanism. This process is repeated, enabling multi-stage sterilization of the juice. By precisely controlling the phase difference between pressure and temperature and employing a gradient pressurization strategy, the retention rate of prebiotics is ensured while inactivating microorganisms.

This improves the processing quality of the juice and enhances the practicality of the equipment.

Inside the installation tank 220, the pressure inside the tank is monitored in real time by a pressure gauge 540. This allows for high-precision pressurization of the tank. Multiple pressurization mechanisms control the pressure within the tank 220, maintaining it between 400-600 MPa. A gradient pressurization strategy is employed to control the pressure inside the tank, significantly improving the retention rate of prebiotics compared to traditional pasteurization while inactivating microorganisms.

[0033] Working Principle: During use, the operation of the equipment is controlled by the main control unit 110. Fruit and vegetable juice is injected into the feeding hopper 330, and the control valve A320 is opened. The juice enters the installation tank 220 through the installation pipe 310, realizing the feeding operation. The juice enters the first set of storage mechanisms through the feeding mechanism and is stored in the installation tank 220. Air is pumped by the air pump 510 to the air supply pipe 520, and the gas enters the installation tank 220 through the air inlet pipe 530. The pressure gauge 540 monitors the internal pressure of the installation tank 220 in real time, enabling high-precision pressurization. Multiple pressurization mechanisms control the pressure of the installation tank 220, maintaining the pressure between 400-600 MPa. The temperature of the juice is adjusted by the heating controller 610 and the heating ring 620. The juice is then sterilized by the pulse sterilization component 640. During the sterilization process, the above-mentioned mechanisms work together to perform high-pressure and pulsed low-temperature thermal field sterilization on the fruit and vegetable juice. After the sterilization of a single batch is completed, the feed pump 730 is started, and the discharge control valve 720 and control valve B750 are opened. The feed pump 730 extracts the fruit and vegetable juice from one installation tank 220 through the discharge pipe 710 and transports it to another installation tank 220 through the feed pipe 740 and the inlet pipe 760, thus realizing the feeding operation of the fruit and vegetable juice. By repeating this operation, the fruit and vegetable juice can be sterilized in multiple stages. By precisely controlling the phase difference between pressure and temperature and adopting a gradient pressurization strategy, the retention rate of prebiotics is ensured while inactivating microorganisms. In addition, the content of galactooligosaccharides in the fruit and vegetable juice is detected in real time by the near-infrared spectroscopy detection probe 650, and the sterilization parameters (pressure / temperature / residence time) are dynamically adjusted to ensure the CV value of active substances in each batch.
