    摘要: A coffee-based beverage preparation system is disclosed that receives a brewed coffee frozen ice block and, in certain embodiments, prepares a brewed coffee beverage at a desired temperature without the requirement to add water from a water reservoir. In one embodiment, the coffee-based beverage preparation system includes a preparation chamber for receiving a degassed frozen brewed coffee beverage and a plurality of heating elements configured to apply heat to the preparation chamber to melt the degassed frozen brewed coffee beverage. The coffee-based beverage preparation system also includes an outlet port comprising in fluidic communication with the preparation chamber and an electronically controlled valve secured to the outlet port that is configured release the fluid content of the preparation chamber into a receiving vessel, such as when the fluid reaches a predetermined temperature.

    摘要: A method for conditioning a food in connection with a treatment, a processing, or the production of the food in an air environment in an open conditioning space, whereby a) climatic data influencing the food in the conditioning process are captured during the conditioning process in the surroundings of the food within the conditioning space, wherein, as climatic data, the conditioning variables of temperature, absolute water content and air pressure are captured as measured values and are compared with food-related setpoint values for the temperature change process, and b) if a deviation of the measured value from the setpoint value associated therewith is detected, the surroundings of the food in the conditioning space are influenced in order to adjust the measured value to the setpoint value.

    摘要: A rapid, uniform and high-quality thawing method is awaited which is free from a burn and boiling and which is indispensable for a freezing technology that is frequently used in the fishery industry and the fishery processing industry. For rapid thawing, electromagnetic waves of 130 to 300 MHz in which a B zone passage required time serving as a rate limiting step is decreased are utilized, for uniform thawing, electromagnetic waves of 110 to 170 MHz are utilized and in order to prevent boiling and a burn in the application and after the thawing, electromagnetic waves of 110 to 160 MHz in which a temperature increase after the thawing is decreased are utilized, with the result that the corresponding problems can be solved.
