The disclosed method describes a process for creating brined peanuts that have improved crunch and flavor characteristics compared with conventional peanuts. The nuts are soaked in a brine solution comprising at least 10% salt by weight and water for 6-16 hours. In some embodiments, the brine solution includes other heat tolerant flavors, such as cayenne pepper, hot sauce and capsicum extract. The nuts are drained for at least one hour to a moisture level of 21- 24% water by weight. The nuts are then oil roasted at 305 °F for 11 minutes via a technique that fully enrobes the nuts in hot oil, such as a full submersion fry.

Described herein are conveyor systems and application units which can be used to transport and simultaneously treat, or to facilitate treatment and inspection of produce, agricultural products, or other items. The conveyor systems and application units can be configured to allow products to be simultaneously rotated as they are moved along a packing line, which can facilitate the uniform application of spray coatings and/or allow the products to be uniformly blow dried while they are moved. Exemplary conveyor systems and application units can include a bed formed of a plurality of rollers and a rotation inducing device that causes the rollers to rotate while they are laterally transported, thereby causing the products lying on top of the bed to rotate during transport.

An assembly for automatically washing olives, to be used in olive processing plants, whose main feature is that of having a modular structure, and whose components (4, 5, 6, 8) are easy to clean and to maintain. The washing assembly includes a storage/collection and decantation tank (4), a helical screw pump (5), preferably a mixer (6) with a pipe coil, and a dewatering system (8) for dripping the already used water.
摘要:
A system for recovering liquid from a liquid associated comestibles or liquid associated comestible pieces on a comestible processing line; where the system uses apparatus that comprises or includes: plural perforate rotatable bowls, each bowl with a pluggable gravity discharge opening for the comestible and each bowl with an opening to allow loading of the bowl with the liquid associated comestible from above, a collection arrangement for the bowls, or each bowl, whereby liquid centrifugally and/or gravitationally leaving each bowl, at least when each bowl is plug closed and rotating, is recovered, and a comestible receiving arrangement as part of the processing line for the comestible from each bowl. The apparatus is operated such that infeed(s) of the comestible with its associated liquid into the bowls are staggered, bowl by bowl, by at least one infeed arrangement.

The technology of washing and treatment MWU (modular washing unit) is conceived to wash and treat fruits and vegetables in a confined environment, with progressively more and more clean water (counter-current) and with an optimal ratio between the quantities of water used and processed products. The system allows important savings of water, chemicals and energy. The technology of washing and treatment MWU (modular washing unit) is conceived to allow the transport and the treatment of the product in confined environment, with clean water (counter- current) In the MWU the product is submitted to sequence of filling and emptying with appropriated solutions, progressively cleaner, prior to subsequent discretionary treatments. A treatment plant can be equipped with a variable number of MWUs, with additional remote MWUs to meet the desired production capacity. Each MWU consists of a vertical watertight cylinder containing a concetric basket; on the top it is connected to the main product manifold and to the vacuum collector, and at the bottom it is connected to the product drain collector, to the load/unload manifold and to the fluids recycling manifolds. Each MWU is connected to the other MWU of the plant, and to the external tank, through independent manifolds, by appropriate valves, to prevent the mixing of fluids and the cross-contamination.

摘要:
A method of filling a drying system (24) with product (48)comprising providing a washing unit (22) configured to receive and discharge product (48), providing a drier (26a, 26b) located in product (48) receiving relation from the washing unit (22), continuously weighing product (48) as it is delivered to the washing unit (22), washing the product (48) by passing the product through the washing unit (22) at a substantially constant speed, removing the product (48) from the washing unit (22) and loading the product (48) into the drier (26a, 26b), controlling the product (48) flow into the drier (26a, 26b) to regulate the weight of product (48) loaded into the drier (26a, 26b).
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for the permanent, at least partial introduction of at least one substance, which is suitable for use in the preparation of vegetables, in particular a flavouring, preserving agent and/or colouring, into the interior of vegetables. The invention also relates to the vegetable products that are produced according to said method.
