Abstract:
The current invention concerns a method for freezing food products and/or thawing frozen food products comprising placing the food products in a climate chamber with a controlled humid climate, air flow and temperature, characterized in that the frozen food products are subjected to an aerosol comprising atomized water droplets. In a second and third aspect, the invention concerns a food product thawed by the method according to the current invention, and a climate chamber for freezing and thawing of food products.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a food product which food product is frozen and thawed before consumption as well as to methods for preparing such a food product. The invention further describes production of an ice structuring protein (ISP) in high amounts.
Abstract:
[Problem] To manufacture an antiflocculation/settling agent with a method having a low cost and low environmental impact, the agent having a high level of safety and no taste, and having an inhibitory effect on flocculation/settling of a food or beverage. Also, to make effective use of yeast cell body residue produced as a byproduct of yeast extract. [Means for Solving the Problem] Yeast cell body residue remaining after removal of useful extract from yeast is suspended in water and heated, after which the suspension is subjected to centrifugal separation and supernatant is collected. This fraction contains at least 15wt% RNA content per solid content, at least 10 wt% dietary fiber content, and at least 15 wt% protein content, and mannan makes up at least 50 wt% of the dietary fiber. This fraction can be used as an antiflocculation/settling agent in foods and beverages.
Abstract:
Provided is a thawing device capable of improving the thawing rate greatly by agitation of the contents in a bag during thawing. The thawing device includes a first heater 1 and a second heater 2 to heat a bag X containing a frozen matter Z, and a supporting unit 3 to support the bag X. The first heater 1 is supported at guide grooves 5 to be movable back and forth, and descends while coming closer to the bag X, and lets a component force in the travelling direction of the self weight act as a biasing force. The second heater 2 is supported via a supporting shaft 20 that extends horizontally, and lets a pressing force act on the upper side and the lower side of the bag X alternately. An excessive pressing force acting on the bag X can be alleviated because the first heater 1 moves backward, and so the possibility of a damage of the bag X can be reduced when the second heater 2 presses the bag X in a frozen state as well.
Abstract:
A collapsible bread dough rising box is disclosed that can be assembled for warming bread dough during rising, and then collapsed into a folded middle section held between a top member and bottom for easy transport and storage. The box can be large enough to hold a large mixing bowl or several bread pans. A multi-position switch or thermostat can be used to maintain the internal temperature at a desired value between 80 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Ventilation channels can be cooperative with the thermostat. Lights can indicate power on, heater on, desired temperature reached and/or safety mechanism activated. Hinges can connect the top member and the middle member to the bottom, for easy assembly and folding. The box is affordable for home bakers. In preferred embodiments the middle is composed of molded plastic panels and living hinges that snap together, thereby further minimizing the cost.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a supercooling method and a supercooling apparatus which can maintain an object in a supercooled state. According to the present invention, a supercooling method includes a first cooling step of cooling a stored object toward a cooling temperature below a phase transition temperature thereof, a step of jidging whether the stored object is released from a supercooled state in the first cooling step, a step of thawing the stored object when the stored object is released from the supercooled state, and a second cooling step of cooling the stored object toward a cooling temperature below zero that is higher than the lowest temperature of the stored object before the release of the supercooled state, wherein the first cooling step is continuously performed when the object is maintained in the supercooled state.
Abstract:
The device comprises means (5, 6) for generating monomode electromagnetic radiation in an irradiation zone (1). A disc-shaped product to be treated is held vertically in a carriage (2a) and is moved translationally (7) into the irradiation zone (1). Upstream, infrared lights (9, 9a, 9b) subject the product to infrared radiation. Thus, the product is very rapidly defrosted.
Abstract:
A method of freeze storing baked foods that retains excellent condition of crust (surface layer of bread), avoiding any peeling, and that retains excellent sensory condition, attaining long-term frozen storage. There is provided a method of freeze storing baked foods, comprising carrying out frozen storage of baked foods, including baked bread and baked confectionery, in a humidified atmosphere, characterized in that baked foods are cooled to 30 to 35˚C in terms of core temperature, and subjected to a high-humidity cooling process conducted in an atmosphere wherein even upon receiving of high-temperature baked foods after baking, 20 to 28˚C and >= 65% RH high humidity condition can be maintained, and further subjected to a frozen storage process wherein the baked foods are freeze stored at low temperature of
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a hot formed object, comprising the steps of filling forming material into a plurality of forming dies and moving the forming dies continuously to a heating zone by a conveyor means, the heating zone being divided in a plurality of sub zones having power source means and power supply means, whereby, since a high frequency is applied from the power supply means to the forming dies, the forming material is heat-formed but, since the heating zone is divided into a plurality of parts, the occurrence of the concentration of a high frequency energy can be suppressed or avoided even if the scale of equipment is large.
