摘要:
Chips 2 are in a sequentially overlapping row 6 on an elongate support 4; the row and support are inserted into an elongate container 18 having a closed end 20; the elongate support is vibrated 24; the closed end of the container is moved away from an adjacent end of the support. Before the container finishes moving away from the support, the support and container are simultaneously rotated so that the closed end descends and the chips row/stack becomes more vertical. Ideally the chips fall under gravity to form a vertical stack. The support can be a concave chute. Ideally the vibration has smaller amplitude than the chip spacings and align with the direction of the support. The support can hold a measured dose of chips. A closure can then be applied to the packages open end. The chips can be curved equilateral triangles with the straight edge leading.

Making snack foods by cooking a plurality of snack food slices disposed in a first layer having a first thickness to an average moisture content of from 10 to 20 wt. %, based on the total weight of the snack food slices. Then, stacking the cooked snack food slices as a packed bed having a second thickness which is greater than the first thickness. Next, microwave-drying the bed to reduce the moisture content to an average of from 6 to 8 wt. %, while maintaining the temperature of the bed lower than a glass transition temperature of starch in the snack food slices. Finish drying the snack food slices in a hot air dryer to reduce the moisture content of the snack food slices to an average of from 1 to 2 wt. %.
摘要:
A packaging apparatus including a rotary jaw device, the rotary jaw device comprising an elongate holder, an elongate knife mounted on and projecting outwardly from the elongate holder, the knife having an elongate cutting edge parallel to a plane of the knife, and at least one part of a heat seal device located on the elongate holder on opposed sides of the knife. A packaging method is also disclosed.

Disclosed are modified lipase enzymes, as well as polynucleotides and recombinant expression vectors encoding the lipase variant polypeptides, as well as methods for producing such lipase variants in selected bacterial and fungal host cells. The invention further relates to lipase variants having a preference for medium- or long- chain fatty acid esters or carboxylic acid moieties with carbon-chain lengths greater than or equal to C 6 . The invention further relates to methods for selectively reducing, or eliminating, one or more trans-fatty acids from substrates, including liquid edible oils useful in food manufacture and frying systems.
摘要:
An apparatus for frying foodstuffs, the apparatus comprising a fryer (2) having inlet (4) and outlet (6) longitudinal ends, an oil recirculating system coupled to the fryer, a heat exchanger (10) for heating the oil in the oil recirculating system, a hood (24) above the fryer (2) for collecting steam generated during the frying process, a conduit (32) for conveying steam from the hood (24), and a compressor (44) for compressing the steam, the compressor (44) having an input connected to the conduit (32) and an output for compressed steam connected to the heat exchanger (10).
摘要:
Methods for synthesizing traditional balsamic vinegar, conventional balsamic vinegar, and Parmesan cheese flavouring compositions are provided for easily synthesizing these flavourings for use in or with food products for flavour addition, enhancement, and/or substitutes for flavourings typically obtained only after long aging methods.

Modified slicing shoes and method for making food product shavings. A conventional slicing shoe for insertion into a slicing head assembly used in conjunction with a centrifugal type slicing machine is modified. The modified slicing shoes comprise a cutting edge having top and bottom ends that protrude towards the interior of a slicing head assembly as a vertex protrudes away from the interior such that the blade is not confined to one plane. In one embodiment, the slicing shoe blade cutting edge and its components comprise a V-shape having an angle that ranges from between about 90° to about 140°. In a second embodiment, the slicing shoe and its components are curvilinear having a curvature ranging from about 1.5 cm to about 2.0 cm. The shape of the blade and its corresponding components allow for the production of snack chips having folded or curled shapes.
