sterilizing powder, but it is not approved in Japan for safety reasons. Alternative methods include steam pressurized instant sterilization, ultraviolet sterilization, and hot air sterilization, but these methods are difficult to use because they cannot be processed in large quantities and the quality of the target object is significantly deteriorated (burnt odor, loss of flavor, etc.). It is located in In addition to solving these issues, we will develop new food manufacturing technology that applies superheated steam technology starting in 2022. Professor Tsutomu Abe, Chair of the Department of Food and Health Sciences, College of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences, Rakuno Gakuen University We have been conducting joint research with. And this time, Patented superheated steam reactor (Rapid SPIRAL) By using Established sterilization technology that does not impair powder color and aroma In
collaboration with the same university, we have confirmed that spinach powder and wheat flour powder can be used to suppress the
deterioration of color and aroma and reduce the number of bacteria.

countermeasures. In addition, the exhibition “ POWTEX2024 ”, we plan to introduce the actual Rapid SPIRAL machine and this technology, as well as hold a product technology briefing session.

Overview of measurement method and results ・Color measurement method: Using a color meter, evaluate L*a*b* values before and after treatment using the Hunter colorimetric method ・Odor measurement method: Aroma analysis using GC-MS (gas chromatography mass
spectrometry)

It allows precise investigation of the components contained in complex mixtures and is often used in the analysis of foods, pharmaceuticals, environmental materials, etc. 2. About Rakuno Gakuen University It has its origins in Hokkaido Rakuno Gijuku, which was founded in 1933 by Tozo Kurosawa in order to establish and develop Hokkaido’s fertile soil through dairy farming. It is a university of agriculture, food and environmental studies and veterinary science that focuses on education and research in the fields of livestock and agriculture, with “Agriculture, Food, Environment, and Life” at its core. We are conducting joint research with Professor Shigeru Abe, head of the School of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Studies at the same university. ・Location: 582, Bunkyodai Midorimachi, Ebetsu City, Hokkaido ・URL: https://www.rakuno.ac.jp/ 3.Exhibition overview ・Exhibition name: POWTEX2024 25th International Powder Industry Exhibition Tokyo ・Date: Wednesday, November 27th, 2024 – Friday, November 29th, 2024 9:30-17:00 ・Venue: Tokyo Big Sight East Halls 1, 2, and 3 ・Official website: https://www.powtex.com/tokyo/ ・Our booth location: 2B-30 (East Hall 2) 4.Product technology briefing ・Date and time: Thursday, November 28, 2024 14:00-14:30 ・Location: Room D in the above venue ・Title: New possibilities for short-time drying and sterilization of powder using ultra-high temperature superheated steam ・Speaker: Rakuno Gakuen University, School of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences, Department of Food and Health Sciences, Professor Shigeru Abe Our company R&D control center Future Research Institute Director Toshihisa Imamasu ・Detailed URL: https://www.powtex.com/tokyo/jp/visit/release.php *Advance
