Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing tortillas, the tortilla being a kind of a flat round cake from wheat or corn flour or base, used as bread and a base for other foods. The method consists of dispensing the ingredients into the kneading-trough, mixing the dry ingredients followed by the addition of water and further mixing, and the obtained dough is divided into balls, which are subjected to maturing process, and, having matured, they are pressed to the required thickness using a press with a suitable temperature, whereupon they are baked, and, then, cooled. A further mixing is carried out in the kneading-trough provided with a sight glass and a LED lighting, where the dough colour is observed, and, based on the observation results, mixing time is chosen, and the cakes, once pressed, are transported to the oven, and, during this transport, they are toasted by means of rotating heaters, and a further baking process is carried out using a heated belt, and the baked cakes are exposed to UV radiation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an industrial method for making decontaminated bakery products, in particular batch bread or the like, characterised in that the method comprises the following essential, preferably consecutive, steps: (1) preparing a dough by mixing the following particular ingredients: A. flour; B. water; C. optionally added fat(s); D. at least one fermentation agent; E. NaCl; F. optionally sugar(s); G. at least one filler agent, preferably maltitol; H. at least one bread-making enhancer including an acid and/or acid salt of gluconodelta-lactone (GDL); I. optionally one low sodium content mixture of minerals preferably derived from milk; J. optionally one or more additives; (2) shaping said dough, preferably using a mould; (3) fermenting the dough thus prepared; (4) at least partially baking the dough thus shaped; (5) optionally cooling the bread; (6) decontaminating the bread by pumped-light processing; (7) optionally slicing the bread; packaging, preferably into bags. The invention also relates to an industrial bakery product free of any additional chemical preservatives of the E200 type or without vaporization of an ethanol-containing liquid, that has an extended shelf-life, and to a device for implementing said method.
Abstract:
The present invention includes a method for extending the shelf-life of one or more foods by exposure to one or more pulses of microwave radiation for at least seven (7) seconds. The present invention may also be used to reduce pathogenic organisms in food. The one or more foods may be packaged within a container, sealed and stored.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a food product which is an ambient toastable sandwich with an extended shelf life and which can contain either savoury or sweet fillings. As described herein for optimum taste performance the final food product is preferably toasted by the consumer.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of regulating microorganism activity, particularly of controlling the growth of microorganisms by subjecting the microorganism to low-power laser irradiation at a certain wavelength. The invention also relates to a method of improving the storage stability of foodstuffs, and to foodstuffs treated by the method. In addition, the invention relates to the use of low-power laser irradiation to prevent microorganism contamination.
