Research Abstract |
Foodstuff Recycling Law has been promoting the recycle and reuse of wasted foods, andvarious strategies have been tried to reduce useless abandonment. The process grindingthem into powder is generally included in the recycle process of wasted foods. Well driedfoods are sometimes hard to crush into fine powders and those foods are generally pollutedwith bacteria, then the feasibility of the food recycle process depends on thedisinfecting effect as well as the grinding performance. The sterilizing effect was foundin a shock impact crushing, and the relation between the shock pressure and the sterilizingeffect has been studied. In this study dry powdered foods were crushed by successiveimpacting loads and the sterilizing effect was examined precisely. It was found that thesterilizing effect was still in the mixture of wasted food although it was lower thanthat of homogeneous foods.
