摘要:
A cleaning apparatus for food processing equipment. The cleaning apparatus includes a base and a curved dome coupled to the base. The base has a first surface with a reflectance, and supports the food processing equipment. The dome is pivotable between an open position and a closed position relative to the base, and includes a second surface having a reflectance. The cleaning apparatus further includes an ultraviolet (“UV”)-based purification device that has at least one photohydroionization (“PHI”) cell operable to produce an advanced oxidation component. The UV-based purification device further has a plurality of UV light sources that are operable to produce UV light. The PHI cell and the UV light sources are coupled to at least one of the base and the dome to impinge directly and indirectly via reflection on the food processing equipment to clean the equipment when the dome is in the closed position.
摘要:
A method for the decontamination of carcasses includes using a flame decontamination process in which carcasses are subjected to temperatures produced by a direct flame source for a period of time sufficient to achieve an effective degree of surface pasteurization.
摘要:
The system, method and apparatus involves the control of microbiological contamination of food processing equipment such as a commercial freeze dryer using oxidation gases. An oxidative gas generator such as a REME system produces low levels of ozone, vaporized hydrogen peroxide and other oxidative gases. These compounds act as anti-microbial agents and systematically inactivate bacteria, viruses, yeast and mold in the air and on surfaces around and inside the food processing equipment.
摘要:
A method and system is provided whereby pathogens in food are reduced by first sealing food in a package and then applying high hydrostatic pressure to the sealed package. The package is moved to a clean area having pathogen-reducing treatment such as a cleansing plasma. The food is removed from the sealed package and then transferred to a food processor such as a grinder or dicer having internal pathogen reducing treatment. The food may then be transferred to a patty maker having internal cleansing plasma. The food may then be transferred to a freezer or freeze dryer having internal cleansing plasma.
摘要:
The system, method and apparatus involves the control of microbiological contamination of commercial freeze dryers using advanced oxidation gases produced by Photohydroionization (PHI) Cell technology. The PHI Cell system produces hydro peroxides, super oxide ions, ozonide ions, hydroxides and other oxidative gases. These compounds act as anti-microbial agents and systematically inactivate bacteria, viruses, yeast and mold in the air and on surfaces inside commercial freeze dryers.
摘要:
Cooked food products, such as cooked meats, and poultry, are treated with a decontaminant solution to remove surface microorganism contamination. The decontaminant solution contains peracetic acid at a concentration of from about 100 to 4000 ppm and has broad spectrum activity against a variety of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms, such as Listeria monocytogenes.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for reducing and/or preventing infection and controlling and/or reducing the level of one or more pathogens, allergens and/or odor-causing agents.
摘要:
A system and method for reducing microbial populations on food products in a food processing facility. One embodiment provides a combination of interventions including a liquid antimicrobial treatment station that wets a food product with an antimicrobial solution containing at least one antimicrobial agent and a gaseous antimicrobial treatment station that generates and exposes the wetted food product to advanced oxidative gaseous environment. A transport system is provided for transporting the food product between the first and second treatment stations. In one embodiment, the advanced oxidative gases may be generated by plurality of photohydroionization cells. In one embodiment, the system and method may be used in a meat processing facility.
