[0002] Pectin is a kind of high molecular polymer, is white or light yellow amorphous powder, odorless and easy to dissolve in water, exist in plant tissue, generally with original pectin, pectic acid and pectic acid three forms exist in the fruit, pericarp and root, stem, leaf etc. of various plants. Pectin production process is mainly divided into pretreatment, extraction, concentration, precipitation, drying and so on five steps, wherein pectin in pretreatment stage is usually crushed after peeling or pomace is treated by high-temperature hot water or hot steam to passivate pectinase, then subsequent step is carried out, but in actual factory production, to improve the processing efficiency of raw material, hot water is usually used to boil the raw material, although it can effectively passivate pectinase, but also causes the loss of pectin in the boiling process, improves the loss. For high-temperature steam treatment of pectin raw material, it can effectively reduce the loss of pectin, but due to the method of large pot steaming is often used to improve efficiency in actual production, so that the center raw material is unevenly heated in the steaming process, the effect of passivating pectinase is poor, and steam is circulated back to the pot, causing a part of pectin composition to be lost, leading to low utilization rate, which is not conducive to enterprise production. In view of this, the present application provides a kind of steam tank for pectin production to solve this problem, steam extraction is realized by steam tank, pectin extraction effect is good and automation level is high, which can improve the actual income of enterprise.
