Carbon fiber is employed to induce underwater shock wave by the high-voltage electric discharge. By the release of an energy 10 kJ stored in a high-capacity condenser bank, carbon fiber was exploded showing the evidence inducing underwater shock wave effectively to a thin plate to be formed.

In recent years, it is expected that the consumption of rice powder in Japan increases for food self-support rate improvement. The consumption of enormous energy during making rice powder and loss of starch in rice by frictional heat is occurred by using the existing manufacturing method. Application techniques using underwater shock wave which is generated by high voltage electric discharge are studied in our laboratory. When some food samples are treated by underwater shock wave, following advantages are obtained, a little heat treatment, decreasing consumption of the energy, and shortening of processing time. In food processing using underwater shock wave, the spalling destruction due to propagation characteristics of shock wave and mediums, which have difference density, is used. In this study, the pressure vessel for pulverization of rice was developed, and then, intensity of pressure in vessel is measured by way of experiment, and simulated numerical analysis.

In recent years, a method of food processing using underwater shock wave has been investigated. The underwater shock wave is generated by high voltage and large current gap discharge in water, and it is used for food processing in the present investigation. When the underwater shock wave is loaded on the food, the food cells are momentarily broken. Therefore, the food becomes soft, and possible to squeeze water easily. Also, seasonings can be penetrated inside of the food. The improvement of absorbing seasonings for the shock processed foods mainly on Japanese radish is reported in this paper.
