摘要:
New, distinct and stable cultivars of no-heat Jalapeno peppers are disclosed. No-heat Jalapeno pepper cultivars are disclosed in which substantially all the pepper fruit produced comprise no capsaicin such as, capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, norhydrocapsaicin, homocapsaicin and homodihydrocapsaicin. The no-heat characteristic has been bred into 3 different cultivars of Jalapeno. This no-heat characteristic has been combined with many desirable Jalapeno traits including a lack of pungency, a dark green immature color, a saucer shaped calyx, a pendent fruit position, a rounded base shape, a blunt apex shape, a thick flesh thickness, an oblong shape, a concentrated fruit set, a long pedicel length, a straight pedicel shape, a slender pedicel thickness and a low capsaicinoid content. Methods for the reliable breeding to the no-heat Jalapeno characteristic into diverse Jalapeno peppers, as well as methods for production of food products comprising no-heat Jalapenos are disclosed.

摘要:
Edible microcapsules and a process for recovering them are disclosed. The microcapsules include a shell material that has a thermal gelation temperature within the range from about 90.degree. F. to about 160.degree. F. The encapsulated material is a food additive which is protected from degradation and loss during the processing at relatively high temperatures of food products. The invention is particularly useful for additives to liquid-based foods such as soups, stews, and sauces.

The invention is a prepackaged therapeutic meal for administration to a patient having at least one diet-responsive condition. The meal includes a plurality of separate meal components. At least one of the meal components contains a predetermined level of nutritional enhancement. The nutritionally enhanced meal component may be selected from the group consisting of meats, baked goods, sauces, starch sources, cereals, soups, desserts, and fruit juice beverages. In particular, the component supplies dietary fiber in the range of up to about 10 grams; vitamins and minerals at a range of at least about 5 to 35% USRDA; sodium in an amount less than about 2400 mg; potassium in an amount less than about 3500 mg; protein, such that up to about 30% of caloric intake is derived from protein; and fat, such that up to about 20% of caloric intake derived from fat. Consumption of a daily diet including at least three of the meals supplies the patient with a desired total daily caloric content, improved quality of life, and sufficient nutritional enhancement to facilitate management of the diet-responsive condition.

The invention is a dietary food enhancement agent for fortifying food products. The agent includes a premixed combination of Vitamin A, Vitamin B.sub.1, Vitamin B.sub.2, Vitamin B.sub.6, Vitamin B.sub.12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Biotin, Calcium, Copper, Folic Acid, Iodine, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Pantothenic Acid, Phosphorus, and Zinc. Further, calcium may be supplied by a combination of calcium citrate and dicalcium phosphate, the phosphorus is supplied by a combination of dicalcium phosphate and magnesium phosphate, and the magnesium is supplied by magnesium phosphate.
摘要:
An apparatus for filling containers with a liquid which includes a plurality of independent tanks positioned successively along a track that supports a series of containers. Each tank includes a weir for dispensing a liquid into the containers. The tanks are selectively fed with the liquid depending on the volume needed in the container. As a result, the volume of liquid dispensed into each container can be more accurately controlled. Funnels are provided for directing the liquid dispensed by the weirs into the open tops of the containers. The funnels are oriented vertically and close to the chain drive, even with the containers inclined, in order to lessen the loads placed on the chain drive for the funnels and thereby increase the mechanism's useful life. In addition, the funnels are passed through a cleaning assembly during a return segment to alleviate the need to shut down the machine to clean the funnels and thereby maximize the efficiency of the operation. The apparatus further includes a filling assembly, a closing assembly and a single drive mechanism for moving the containers through the filling assembly and the closing assembly.

The present invention provides an improved casing spawn that reduces the time between casing and the onset of mushroom production. The casing spawn is prepared from particles containing no available nutrients and with a substantial capacity to hold moisture (nutritionally inert particles). The particles are amended with sufficient nutrients to support the growth of Agaricus bisporus mycelium but less than the amount known to inhibit mushroom primordium formation or allow mold growth. A mixture of these ingredients is moistened, sterilized, and inoculated with Agaricus bisporus mycelium. Following incubation to allow full colonization of the mixture, the colonized material is mixed with casing material in order to inoculate mushroom casing layers. The invention provides a fully functional casing spawn without sacrificing mushroom bed volume or risking the transmission of diseases to the crop.
摘要:
A conveyance system particularly adapted for food processing utilizes an article handling apparatus including a feed device which is particularly adapted to convey cans in clusters of a predetermined uniform number to a toppler apparatus for manipulating the cans from an axis-vertical to an axis-horizontal condition. The feed device utilizes screw elements effective to receive cans from a double row and to merge them into a single row for conveyance to the toppler apparatus. The screw elements while merging the cans into a single row place the cans on a predetermined mutual spacing for unencumbered toppling.
摘要:
A process and system for sterilizing packages of thermally-treatable products having different sterilization processing requirements. These packaged products can be different types of canned soups, for example. At least one of the packaged products is preheated a significant, predetermined amount in a preheat vessel in a steam or steam-air mixture to accommodate these different processing requirements. This allows the first and second packages to be processed through the stationary hydrostatic sterilizer, which is generally separate from the preheat vessel, at a common line speed and temperature. Expensive sterilizer changeover delays are thereby reduced significantly or even avoided. This process also allows the soup product to be cold blended, reducing the likelihood of any overcooking in the large cooking kettle and reducing the amount of starch needed.
摘要:
A package for cooking a waffle in a microwave oven is provided, comprising a microwave transparent tray about 28 to 38 mm deep, a lossy susceptor film lid having defined reflectance and absorbance, placed about 3 to about 10 mm over the waffle, providing means for moisture to escape. The waffle is coated with an edible food conditioner, to provide improved microwave susceptibility to the surfaces of the waffle. The waffle may be cooked alone or in the presence of a sausage side dish.
摘要:
A package with a preferentially releasable seal is provided, suitable for use in microwaveable food cooking. The seal includes a heat-releasable polymer in contact with a microwave susceptor material. Upon heating in a microwave oven, the seal releases in response to force generated by the cooking of the food.
