A method of treating a food which is contained in or introduced into an insulating enclosure or enclosure by means of non-conventional ohmic heating

摘要

The invention relates to a process for the treatment of a food, which is in an insulating encapsulation or cladding or is attached there by means of non-conventional, ohmic heating. The heating is used in particular for the treatment of sausage products located in an intestine, such as boiled sausage, hot dogs or similar food products. The respective food is brought into contact with spaced, electrically conductive electrodes, wherein the electrodes are connected to a controllable current source. According to the invention, the electrodes are each formed as at least one first and one second electrode group, the electrode groups having a distance A from each other. Each electrode group has a number of individual electrodes similar to a needle comb, wherein the adjacent individual electrodes of the needle comb each have a distance A. The distance A is greater than or equal to the maximum distance A. The respective needle comb penetrates the insulating encapsulation or wrapping the food, wherein a puncture process is realized such that based on the food and the encapsulation or enclosure needle comb inlets and outlets arise ,
