Abstract:
A method for treatment of meat from fish or other aquatic, poikilothermic animals, and comprising a flavour-influencing treatment with an extract of wood or a wood product, as well as a heating process, comprising treatment with microwaves, further comprising smoking of the meat and/or treatment of the meat with an extract of wood or of a wood product, the extract or solution hereof being sprayed onto the meat, or the meat being treated with ultrasound in a solution of the extract.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a line comprising an oven and a drying chamber. The present invention further relates to a process how to cook s food product.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an oven comprising: • - a first chamber (3) and a second chamber (4), which are separated by separation means (2) • - conveyor means (7) for guiding products from the inlet (10) through these chambers to the outlet (12), • - temperature control means (15) for controlling the temperature and/or humidity in each chamber individually using a fluid, respectively, and • - a passage (2.1) in the separation means (2) through which the conveyor means are directed from the first chamber to the second chamber.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of producing a food product is disclosed. The food product is placed inside of an air-tight chamber, in which the food product is to be cooked, wherein steam is generated from a source of water and is introduced into the cooking chamber. The steam heats the inside of the cooking chamber and serves as a heat transfer media to heat the food product as well as a color and flavor transfer media to color and flavor the food product. That is, a flavoring and coloring additive, such as liquid smoke, may be added to the water utilized in generating the steam in order to flavor the food product being cooked. The steam then transfers the flavoring and coloring additive to the food product which condenses on the food product adding flavor and color to the food product.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a process and facility for treating smoke-cured products, in particular meat and sausage products, with a mixture of air and a water-soluble liquid known as liquid smoke, which has a smokey aroma and taste and is sprayed into the air in a smoking chamber through spray nozzles (8). According to the invention, pure liquid smoke is sprayed into air that has been suctioned out of the smoking chamber into a separate mixing area (11), is swirled in the mixing area (11) under increased pressure and then is released again into the smoking chamber through blast nozzles (10).
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for curing and more specifically for cold smoking meat or seafood with a blend of filtered smoke from an organic smoking material such as softwoods such as pine or tropical palms such as coconut wood or such as mixed wood sawdust from a sawmill, that are not traditionally used for smoking seafood or meat due to the harsh flavor imparted by their smoke, and unfiltered smoke from a second organic smoking material such as hardwood smoke, or other pleasant flavor-imparting smoke. The blending of filtered smoke from a first organic smoking material such as coniferous softwood, tropical palm wood or mixed sawdust from a sawmill with unfiltered pleasant flavor-imparting smoke from the second organic smoking material reduces the cost of the smoking and curing process and allows versatility in application in terms of preservative properties and flavor imparted to the cured meat or seafood.
Abstract:
La présente invention concerne le domaine de la préparation de produits fumés tels que des poissons, viandes, produits de charcuterie et analogues et a pour objet un procédé caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend essentiellement au moins une étape d'aromatisation consistant à donner un goût fumé audit produit alimentaire et au moins une étape de coloration, indépendante de ladite étape d'aromatisation, consistant à donner une couleur supplémentaire ou une nuance particulière supplémentaire audit produit alimentaire, en particulier en renforçant la couleur précédemment obtenue. Elle a également pour objet différents moyens pour la mise en oeuvre dudit procédé et les denrées alimentaires fumées ainsi obtenues.
Abstract:
A cooking and holding food preparation unit is disclosed having one or more food receiving compartments (20) each including a door (28) and a casket (11) for hermetically sealing the compartment when the door (28) is closed. An open-topped tray (13) for holding water is located near the bottom of the compartment (20) and has therebeneath electrical heating strips (18) for heating water in the tray. A thermostat (16) is coupled to the tray and to the heating strips for maintaining the temperature of the tray at an operator selected temperature typically well below the temperature at which water boils under standard conditions. A vacuum pump (12) selectively reduces the air pressure within the compartment while a vacuum release valve (14) selectively couples the compartment to the exterior atmosphere. There is a timer (24) for measuring elapsed time after cooking is begun which functions to open the vacuum release valve (14) upon the expiration of an operator determined time interval.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a production line for in-line processing of food products, comprising a food transport path that successively leads through: a brine unit; a liquid smoke unit; and a transit oven. The invention also relates to a method for in-line processing of food products, comprising the successive process step: moisturising the food products with a brine; moisturising the food products with a liquid smoke; and heating the food products.
