PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high electric field sterilizer which can safely perform the sterilization treatment of various materials without changing the quality of the materials at a low price.SOLUTION: The high electric field sterilizer comprises as follows. A first metal plate to be a minus electrode and a second metal plate to be a plus electrode are disposed at a prescribed interval, a high electric field is generated in a passage formed between the first metal plate and the second metal plate by a pulse power unit connected to the first metal plate and the second metal plate, a material containing bacteria is made to pass through the passage in which the high electric field has been generated, a voltage difference is made in a cell membrane of the bacteria contained in the material to destroy the cell membrane, thereby the sterilization is performed in the high electric field sterilizer. A surface of the first metal plate facing the second metal plate is formed with a dielectric layer comprising a dielectric material by burning.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】低価格で品質を変化させることなく安全に様々な物質の殺菌処理を行うことが可能な高電界殺菌装置を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の高電界殺菌装置は、マイナス電極となる第1金属板と、プラス電極となる第2金属板とを所定の間隔で配置し、前記第1金属板と前記第2金属板に接続したパルス電源装置によって前記第1金属板と前記第2金属板との間に形成された通路に高電界を発生させ、前記高電界が発生した前記通路の中を細菌を含んだ物質を通過させて、前記物質に含まれる細菌の細胞膜に電位差を生じさせて前記細胞膜を破壊することで殺菌を行う高電界殺菌装置であって、前記第1金属板の前記第2金属板と対向する表面に、焼成によって誘電材からなる誘電層を形成する。【選択図】 図1
