摘要:
A Kimchi fermentation and/or storage control apparatus of a refrigerator includes at least one compartment for holding Kimchi; a heater for raising the temperature of the compartment to a predetermined fermentation temperature; a cooling device for lowering the temperature of the compartment to a predetermined storage temperature; a temperature setting and mode selecting section; a temperature sensing means for the compartment; and, a microprocessor for controlling the operations of the heating means and the cooling means according to the signals supplied to the temperature setting and mode selecting section and the temperature sensor means. The microprocessor previously stores in its memory the mathematical product of amount of the time, required to obtain the acidity level of Kimchi considered as the optimum fermentation condition at a given temperature, multiplied by the temperature as a "fermentation completion value". The microprocessor determines when the "fermentation completion value" is in accordance with the integral function value of the accumulated inner temperatures of the compartment in a given time interval.

A mist-emitting apparatus for a vegetable crisper, having a sprayer attached to an upper portion of a housing. A portion of the housing defines a closable reservoir for a supply of water. Means are provided in the housing for operatively communicating with a lower portion of the reservoir to communicate the water under pressure to the sprayer at predetermined intervals for a predetermined period of time. The water, being communicated to the sprayer, is emitted as a mist. A false bottom extends laterally from a lower portion of the housing for supporting fruits and vegetables above the false bottom. The closable container may be a bag or a cavity in the sidewall of the vegetable crisper, separate from the housing and communicating through a tube that connects with a lower portion of the housing. When originally installed in a refrigerator, the sprayer attaches to an interior wall and extends into a vegetable crisper drawer. A solenoid-actuated valve selectively communicates water to the sprayer from a pressurized supply of water.

A method of and an apparatus for controlling a seasoning of kimchi, capable of meeting maximally the user's taste, includes deriving a seasoning condition by a deduction about the load of kimchi to be seasoned, seasoning the kimchi according to the derived seasoning condition, and varying a seasoning time derived based on the user's taste, in a small range. The method includes the steps of closing the damper and driving the heater for a predetermined time when a kimchi seasoning mode is selected, deducing the load of kimchi to be seasoned, from a difference between a peripheral temperature of the heater and an internal temperature of the kimchi seasoning chamber after the driving of the heater for the predetermined time, deriving a normal seasoning condition for the kimchi, based on the deduced kimchi load, seasoning the kimchi according to the derived normal seasoning condition, and maintaining the seasoned kimchi at a predetermined storing temperature after the seasoning of the kimchi at the seasoning step, for carrying out a kimchi storing mode.

摘要:
A chamber and a method for subjecting produce such as bananas to a controlled atmosphere is disclosed. The chamber has an end wall and produce is loaded into the chamber in two rows. A lower tier stack of produce rests on the floor of the chamber while an upper tier stack is supported above the lower tier stack by a frame structure. An atmosphere circulating space is provided at each side of the chamber between the stacks, and the spacing of the rows provides an upper intersitial volume and a lower intersitial volume. Sealing device seals the upper and lower intersitial volumes from each other while further sealing device in the form of two blinds seals the upper and lower intersitial volumes from the atmosphereic circulating space. A controlled atmosphere is caused to flow across the produce from the atmosphere circulating space into the intersitial volumes or in the reverse direction.

摘要:
In a ship having a hull, a loading hatch, and a cargo hold which has a bottom and may contain a bulk material and a preparation that releases a pesticide, a device for disinfecting the bulk material comprising line sections of a total link which may be adjusted to the height of the cargo hold and a mechanism for detachably mounting the line sections to the ship. The line sections are joined together and have a first end portion disposed at the bottom of the cargo hold and a second end portion disposed in the vicinity of the loading hatch. The first end portion of the joined line sections have a plurality of gas openings and the second end portion of the joined line sections is connected to a centrifugal fan so that the pesticide-enriched air may be circulated through the bulk material.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for producing black ripe olives is provided which comprises periodically introducing an alkaline solution, having a concentration of about 0.45% to 0.7% alkaline for fresh cure olives and 0.9% to 1.2% for storage olives, into a processing tank containing olives to be processed. The olives are agitated in the solution and thereafter the solution is drained from the tank leaving the olives dry in the tank for a period of time before reintroducing the alkaline solution. After repeating the wet-dry cycle a number of times, the blackened ripe olives are rinsed with fresh water. The alkaline solution contains lye (sodium hydroxide) and is retained in a separate storage tank at the completion of each period of wetting the olives. The alkaline solution is periodically strengthened to a desired concentration. The agitation results from bubbling high pressure air into the processing tank below the olives. The bottom of the tank is corrugated and air is introduced along the valleys of the corrugations to provide improved agitation. Carbon dioxide is added to the rinse water to neutralize the alkalinity of the blackened ripe olives at the end of the process.
