摘要:
An improved food product having reduced levels of harmful bacteria. The food product includes an effective dose of an inhibitor for reducing the presence of harmful bacteria in the food. The inhibitor is an effective dose of the extract of labiatae plants. In the preferred embodiment, the food also includes an effective dose of bifidobacteria. For example, the bacteria may be selected from the group consisting of: BifidoBacterium breve; BifidoBacterium longum; BifidoBacterium bifidum; and BifidoBacterium infantis.

A method for produce sanitation using bacteriophages is disclosed. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the steps of (1) providing at least one bacteriophage; and (2) applying the bacteriophage to the produce. The produce may include fruits and vegetables. The produce may be freshly-cut produce, damaged produce, diseased produce, or contaminated produce. The produce may be sprayed with bacteriophage, washed with bacteriphage, immersed in a liquid containing bacteriophage, etc. The bacteriophage may be applied once, periodically or continuously. In one embodiment, chemical sanitizers may also be applied to the produce.
摘要:
A method of producing and using a solution for extending the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables after they are harvested which includes the steps of extracting juice from fruits or vegetables, filtering the juice, disintegrating the peel, extracting enzyme from the disintegrated peels using a solvent without denaturing the enzymes, removing the disintegrated peels and mixing the remaining ingredients with the extracted juice.
摘要:
A method for preserving a food product, such as meat, comprising the steps of inoculating meat with an effective amount of euhygienic non-pathogenic, non-spoilage bacteria in order to competitively inhibit the growth of undesired pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. Edible films that incorporate and/or cover euhygenic bacteria on the food product are used to ensure competitive inhibition of undesired spoilage and pathogenic bacteria.
摘要:
A brassica vegetable tablet contains at least 50 .mu.g of sulforaphane and a maximum of 50 .mu.g of sulforaphane-nitrile. A process for producing a brassica vegetable product includes inactivating endogenous myrosinase enzyme in a brassica vegetable and thereafter blending the vegetable with exogenous myrosinase enzyme. The preferred process may include steam blanching as the method of inactivating the endogenous myrosinase enzyme. The preferred process may also include horseradish root as the source of exogenous myrosinase enzyme.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a herb product comprising a comminuted herb admixed with water, a water activity controlling substance in sufficient amounts for the herb product to have a water activity less than 0.90 and an effective amount of an edible agent, said effective amount of an edible agent being an anti-oxidizing effective amount of an edible anti-oxidant or an anti-discoloring effective amount of an edible salt or mixture thereof, said herb product being present in a substantially oxygen-free atmosphere. In addition, the present invention is directed to a method of making the herb product and to food compositions containing same.
摘要:
A new strain of the yeast Candida sake (Saito and Ota) van Uden and Buckley and its properties are described. This new strain was deposited with number CECT-10817. Rotting of fruit caused by at least one pathogenic fungi, particularly Botrytis cinera, Penicillium expansum or Rhizopus nigricans, after or before harvesting, can be prevented by treating the fruit with an aqueous dispersion of this new strain of Candida sake.
摘要:
A method for preventing cut pieces of agricultural products containing starch, particularly potatoes, from sticking to each other during the steps of drying and cooking, which includes washing the cut pieces with, or immersing the same in, a solution of an amylolytic enzyme, or an acidic or alkaline aqueous solution, or performing the washing or immersing treatment after blanching the cut pieces, thus saccharifying the starch existing on the surface of the cut pieces and removing the sugar thus formed from the cut pieces and thereby preventing the sticking of the cut pieces in the subsequent heating and drying steps.
摘要:
A method for treating postharvest stone fruit to prevent or inhibit brown rot of stone fruit with effective amounts of any of the following active ingredients in a carrier is disclosed: Bacillus subtilis B-3; Bacillus subtilis B-3 in combination with 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline; Bacillus subtilis B-3 in combination with water based wax; and, Bacillus subtilis B-3 in combination with paraffin and mineral oil base.
