PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of a processed persimmon having an excellent taste.SOLUTION: Various treatments such as a cutting treatment, an astringent removal treatment, a heat treatment, a shredding treatment and a freezing treatment are applied to a harvested persimmon such as a sweet persimmon and astringent persimmon, to obtain a processed persimmon. A heating apparatus 1 is used in the heat treatment. In the heat treatment using the heating apparatus 1, super heated steam obtained by heating water vapor in a substantially saturated state is sprayed to a persimmon placed on a conveyor 121 and conveyed inside a heating area 120, in a vertical direction to heat the persimmon. The temperature of the super heated steam is 120-300°C and a heating duration by the super heated steam is 1-20 minutes.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】食味に優れた加工柿の生産方法を提供する。【解決手段】収穫された甘柿、渋柿等の柿に対し、切断処理、脱渋処理、加熱処理、細断処理、冷凍処理等の各種処理を施して加工柿を生産する。加熱処理には、加熱装置1が用いられる。加熱装置1を用いた加熱処理では、コンベア121に載置されて加熱区域120内を搬送される柿に対し、略飽和状態の水蒸気を加熱した過熱蒸気を上下方向から噴射して加熱する。また、過熱蒸気の温度は、120~300℃とし、過熱蒸気による加熱時間は、1~20分とする。【選択図】図2
