<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for continuously heating a fluid food material by electrifying the material which flows in a channel, capable of preventing temperature of surfaces of electrodes from rising, and therefore capable of preventing heating unevenness and bumping on the surfaces of the electrodes from occurring, and further capable of preventing scaling and a spark from occurring. <P>SOLUTION: This method for continuously electrifying and heating the fluid food material comprises locating two or more electrodes made of Ti or a Ti alloy at intervals in positions contacting with the fluid food material in the channel, and then electrifying a high-frequency current of 1-50 kHz between the electrodes, while continuously fluidizing and transferring the fluid food material, wherein an electrified current value is controlled so that a ratio (I/S) of the electrified current value I (amp) to an area S (mm<SP>2</SP>) of a surface contacting with the fluid food material in each of electrodes is 0.8 or less. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
