PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To propose an effective and efficient sterilization method capable of suppressing proliferation of viable bacteria and quality degradation of food products under low temperature without using a high concentration bactericide.SOLUTION: A sterilization method of food products includes a preliminary step for injecting fine bubbles into an aqueous solution containing a bactericide at 10°C or lower and a sterilization step for sterilizing food products using the aqueous solution containing the fine bubbles.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】生菌の増殖や食品の品質劣化を抑制可能な低温下での食品の殺菌処理を高濃度の殺菌剤を用いずに有効かつ効率的に行う殺菌方法を提案する。【解決手段】一実施形態に係る食品の殺菌方法は、殺菌剤を含む１０℃以下の水溶液に微細気泡を混入させる予備工程と、前記微細気泡を含む前記水溶液を用いて食品を殺菌する殺菌工程と、を含む。【選択図】図１
