PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fruit seed extracting device and method that can improve the residual ratio of fruit pulp after extraction of the seeds by reducing adhesion of pulp to extracting seeds and thereby reducing loss of the pulp.SOLUTION: The fruit seed extracting device includes: a pallet 8 with a fruit-holding hole part 81 formed which has a seed-passing hole 83 for a seed T of a fruit A to pass through; a pulp stripping plate 32 which has a planar shape using an elastically deformable material, which has a seed-extracting hole 32a formed, and which is fastened to the underside of the pallet 8; a seed-extracting rod 10 which enters in the pulp of a fruit held on the pallet, advancing while pushing down the seed, and which is driven up and down with a vertical stroke that has the lowest point at the point of time when the pushed down seed, after passing through the seed-extracting hole of the pulp stripping plate, becomes a pendent state through the pulp of the seed-extracting hole; and cutting blades 42, 43 which are operated at the point of time when the seed-extracting rod stops at the lowest point, which cut the pulp existing between the pendent seed through the pulp inside the seed-extracting hole and the pulp stripping plate, and which thereby separate the seed from the pulp. |
