A main energizing/heating unit has an outer electrode and an inner electrode, and energizes a fool material to be gelatinized by heating and continuously heat-treats it while it is conveyed in a food flow channel. The food flow channel in which the food material flows is formed between the both electrodes. Fed to the food material flowing in the food flow channel by a power supply section is a current in a direction traversing a flow direction of the food material. An inner cooling flow channel is formed in the inner electrode, and cooling liquid is fed to the inner cooling flow channel through a piping.

Continuous heat-treating apparatus for food material and energizing and heating method

A yeast extract is produced by preparing a suspension containing yeast, applying an electric field treatment to the suspension, and then autolyzing the suspension. In this electric field treatment, a voltage to be applied is less than 1000 V/mm, and a temperature of the suspension during an application period of the voltage is 64&#xb0; C. or less. According to such a production process, a content of amino acids in the yeast extract can be improved. Among amino acids, branched chain amino acids or the like can be efficiently increased.

An optical disc driving device includes a control circuitfor performing a gain adjustment for each of two recording surfaces of a multilayered optical discon the basis of an FE signal in such a way as to maintain a state in which light is focused onto either of the recording surfaces, to generate a focus servo loop signal, and for generating a focus jump signal for causing either a transition from a state in which the light is focused onto one recording surface to a state in which the light is focused onto the other recording surface, or a transition in the opposite direction from a threshold set up on the basis of an amount of gain adjustment, and a focus actuator driving circuitfor performing either a focus jump or an operation of maintaining the state in which the light is focused.

A disk drive determines, from eccentric amounts of individual prescribed rotation phases for one round of an optical disk, a rotation phase range in which a lens shift amount after tracking pulling-in of an object lens constituting an optical pickupdoes not exceed a movable range of the object lens in a preset tracking direction, sets the rotation phase range as a tracking pulling-in range, and carries out tracking pulling-in of the optical pickupwhile the rotation phase of the optical diskis placed within the tracking pulling-in range.

Amine derivative, and production method and use thereof

Disclosed is an electric heating device for heating a fluid food material, for example, a liquid food material with high viscosity such as mayonnaise or the like, and a solid-liquid mixed food material such as a mixture of tea powder, coffee powder or the like and water, in which a solid and a liquid are mixed. The heating device includes a cylindrical container body having the bottom end thereof and containing the fluid food material. A cylindrical outer electrode is mounted in this container body, and an inner electrode, having an outer circumferential surface opposite to the inner circumferential surface of the outer electrode, is arranged at the center of the container body. An electric power is supplied from a power supply to the inner electrode and the outer electrode, and an electric current flows through the food material injected in the container body, whereby the food material is heated by the Joule heat. In heating the food material, the inner electrode is relatively rotated relative to the container body. Therefore, the food material flows in a circumferential direction in the container body due to its viscosity, and thus the adhesion of the food material to the electrode can be prevented.

Electric heating device for fluid food material

There is disclosed a heating system for producing food stuffs such as a paste food stuff having minced flesh of fish meat as a raw material. The heating system comprises: an electrode row or rows, in which a plurality of roller electrodes are disposed in parallel to one another; and a water permeable film or films trained across the roller electrodes making up the electrode row or rows. The food stuffs are conveyed by the movement of the water permeable film or films and electrical power is supplied to the roller electrodes in such way that electric current flows between pairs of the roller electrodes along current paths extending through the water permeable film or films and the food stuffs to make the food stuffs generate Joule heat. With this arrangement, the food stuffs are quickly heated. The food stuffs are also guided by the water permeable film or films.
