摘要:
The present invention comprises a method and apparatus for treating a low acid food product. The low acid food product is first acidified to produce an acidified food product and then packaged as the acidified food product. The acidifying step comprises addition of a GRAS acid to adjust the pH to below about 4.5. The acidified food product is then deacidified to return the acidified food product to the low acid food product having a pH above 4.6. The deacidification is accomplished through the addition of an alkaline substance in an amount sufficient to deacidify the acidified food product to a pH of from about 5.8 to about 7.5.

The object of the present invention is to develop an agent to keep proper moisture, improve the mouth-feeling and preserve freshness of cells and protein-containing-materials which does not cause any side-effect. This object can be accomplished by contacting cells or protein-containing materials with an organic acid fermentation liquid which has been adjusted to pH6-10 by adding a carbonate.

A preserving agent for foods and drinks which contains water-soluble hemicellulose as an effective component, a preserving agent containing (A) water-soluble hemicellulose and (B) one or more selected from the group consisting of ethanol, glycine, glucono-deltalactone, sorbic acid, peroxybenzoic acid, benzoic acid, dehydroacetic acid, hypochlorous acid and their salts, organic acids such as acetic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, propionic acid and their salts, lower fatty acid esters, sugar esters, polylysine, protamine, lysozyme, mustard extract, horseradish extract, bleached flour, chitosan and phytic acid as effective components, and a preserving method which employs the preserving agent in food and drink products.
摘要:
The invention relates to a food composition having an increased shelf stability and robustness when stored in microbiologically sensitive conditions which comprises an acidifying preservative system adapted to reduce the microbial growth in the composition and a neutralizing system which is inactivated in said microbiologically sensitive conditions and is adapted to activate on demand upon reactivating conditions of the neutralizing system are met so that the neutralizing system acts on the acidifying preservative system to neutralize its sourness and/or acidity thereby improving the taste perception of the composition. The invention also relates to a dry blend usable as a preservative system in food, particularly deferred cooking food that requires storage in microbiologically sensitive conditions.
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.

The present invention relates to environmentally friendly processes and compositions for prevention of qualitative deterioration and quantitative loss of plant matter and foodstuffs, during all stages of storage and handling, including pre- and post-harvest, pre- and post-planting, distribution and marketing. The processes and compositions of the present invention can also be used to prevent sprouting and rooting, and to promote fecundity of certain plant matter. The processes and compositions of the present invention can also be used to eliminate or reduce quantities of harmful organisms and substances from soil, other growth media and substrates, equipment, materials water, workspaces and surfaces.

The present invention provides a stabilized meat product of cooked meat comprising cooked meat and nisin-containing whey. The present invention also provides a stabilized food product comprising cooked meat, vegetables, sauce, and nisin-containing whey. The nisin-containing whey can be prepared by (1) inoculating a pasteurized dairy composition with a culture of a nisin-producing microorganism, incubating the composition until the pH attains a value between about 6.2 and about 4.0 and a whey and curd mixture is formed, and separating the whey from the whey and curd mixture to give the separated whey which is the nisin-containing whey or by (2) the fermentation of a fortified cheese whey composition using a nisin-producing microorganism. The invention also provides a method of making a stabilized food product of cooked meat, vegetables, and sauce that includes preparing a composition including meat, vegetables, sauce, and nisin-containing whey, and cooking the composition. The invention additionally provides a method of inhibiting the growth of a pathogenic microorganism in cooked food compositions that includes preparing a composition comprising meat, vegetables, sauce, and nisin-containing whey, cooking the composition, and sealing the composition into packaging; whereby the growth of a pathogenic microorganism is inhibited.
摘要:
This invention is directed to a low pH nutritional formula that contains high levels of macronutrients, vitamins and minerals. The pH of the enteral formula is from about 3.0-4.6 and delivers at least 25% of the RDI for selected vitamins and minerals in a 237 ml. serving. The enteral formula uses a stabilizing system comprising high methoxy pectin to stabilize the protein and a unique process to produce the formula.

The present invention is directed to a method of stabilizing parboiled rice bran. The method requires adding an edible acid having antioxidative properties to parboiled rice bran to maintain the stability of the bran for at least a six month period of time at ambient conditions. The invention is also directed to a method of stabilizing parboiled rice bran for use in a food product in which acid having antioxidative properties is added to a parboiled rice bran food product in an amount of about 0.10% to about 2.0% by weight to maintain the stability of the food product for at least a six month period of time at ambient conditions. The invention further is directed to an animal feed that has an amount of stabilized parboiled rice bran, the animal feed generally including at least about 6 to 18% protein, about 1-2% to 29% fat, and optionally fiber and/or starch sources.
