    Abstract: A packaged coffee product with oxygen dissolved therein along with milk and/or sweeteners in the sealed packaging is provided. Preferably, the pH of the product is 4.6 or greater, preferably 5.0 or greater. The coffee product may be hot or cold brew coffee and may have other gasses such as nitrogen and/or carbon-dioxide in the sealed container. Ideally, there is oxygen in both the headspace and liquid portion of the beverage in order to inhibit C. Bot growth without requiring retort processing. Preferably, the calorie count is in the range of 0.5-9 calories per ounce.

    Abstract: An assembly for sterilizing and depyrogenating containers includes a feeding station, a heating station, and a cooling station. The stations are passed through by a conveyor of containers. The cooling station includes a main unit coupled without discontinuities to the heating station and at least one interchangeable air treatment module. The main unit includes at least one inlet aperture connected without interruptions to an air diffuser arranged above at least a portion of the conveyor, and at least one outlet port. Each module has at least one supply hose with shape and dimensions complementary to those of the at least one inlet aperture in order to be detachably coupled thereto, and at least one suction channel with shape and dimensions complementary to those of the at least one outlet port in order to be detachably coupled thereto.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a microwave heating system is provided. The method may be used with a system having a liquid-filled microwave heating chamber and includes measuring the value of one or more microwave system parameters. Suitable parameters can include, for example, net microwave power discharged, the temperature of the liquid in the microwave chamber, the flow rate of liquid through the microwave chamber, and the speed of the conveyance system disposed within the microwave chamber. The measured value of the selected parameter is then compared to a target value for that parameter in order to determine a difference. Based on the difference, one or more actions can be taken in order to start, stop, or alter the operation of the microwave heating system.

    Abstract: A microwave heating system configured for heating a plurality of articles is provided. One or more of the microwave launchers can be offset slightly, such that the microwave energy introduced into the heating chamber is discharged at a launch tilt angle of at least 2°. Additionally, each launcher can include a microwave-transparent window disposed between the microwave chamber and the one or more launch openings and at least 50 percent of the chamber-side surface of the window can be oriented at an angle of at least 2° from the horizontal.
