Abstract:
The invention is a refrigerator comprising a vegetable room (405) for storing fruits or vegetables in the refrigerator, and a plurality of light sources (437) for illuminating light to spaces in the vegetable room (405), wherein the light source (437) combines the light of a wavelength that enables the penetration of light into surfaces of the fruits or vegetables and the light of a wavelength that enables the penetration of light into interiors of the fruits or vegetables for the purpose of illumination. Accordingly, high-quality fruits or vegetables enhanced in nutrient value can be stored, and making it easier to associate the illumination with the foods to be stored, it is possible for the user to recognize the temperature condition in the storage room at first sight.
Abstract:
Method and system for treating a substantially solid food product (3) wherein cell disruption of the food product occurs and the building up of the necessary rise in temperature required for the processing of macro-nutrients. The system comprises means (8,10) that are arranged for subjecting the food product to a pulsed electric field for disruption of the cells of the food product and processing of the macronutrients, making it suitable for the intended consumption and efficient digestion, so that the body optimally takes in the nutrients.
Abstract:
Device for continuous heat-treatment of foods, comprising a conduit made of a dielectric material in which a product to be treated flows, the conduit having at least a pair of electrodes located in the conduit which are subjected to a potential difference of at least 2000 Volts with a frequency of at least 25 Mhz, characterized in that a rotor made of dielectric material is located internally of the conduit, which rotor has a core from which a plurality of fins rises, which fins are distributed along a length of the rotor, are of a height such us to contact an internal surface of the conduit.
Abstract:
A method for the preservation of fresh fruit and vegetable comprises treating whole or cut pieces with microwaves at a temperature not exceeding 45°C and subsequently freezing the microwaved fruit or vegetable. Upon thawing the treated product has organoleptic characteristics of the corresponding fresh product.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zum Quellen, Dämpfen oder Extrahieren und anschließenden Trocknen von schüttfähigen Stoffen in loser Form, unter Anwendung von Mikrowellenenergie. Die schüttfähigen Stoffe werden in einem geschlossenen Behälter (1) zunächst mit Dampf unter Überdruck zum Quellen bzw. Dämpfen, oder Lösungsmittel zum Extrahieren, ausgesetzt und anschließend in demselben Behälter unter Anwendung von Vakuum unter Mikrowellenenergie getrocknet, wobei die Stoffe durch ein Mischwerk (16) laufend umgewälzt werden.
Abstract:
A process for preserving potatoes by subjecting peeled or scraped potatoes to such a heat treatment with water or steam that the starch contained in the potatoes is just gelatinized and the reaction to peroxidase proceeding in the direction of the potato core to a distance of only a few millimeters from the outer surface thereof has become negative and the potatoes are subsequently cooled. The potatoes are also subjected to a treatment with microwaves, which can take place before or after the treatment with water or steam.
