Firming Process to Enhance Texture of Thermally Processed IQF Fruits and Vegetables

$
0
0
Thermally processed fruits and vegetables are softer in texture than fresh. It is challenging to obtain acceptable texture from thermally processed IQF fruits and vegetables. The soaking method of the invention enhances the texture of high quality IQF fruits and vegetables before thermal processing resulting in a processed, shelf-stable fruit or vegetable product with significantly improved texture. When compared to other traditional firming methods using calcium salts added directly to the pack medium or finished product, or using a food enzyme, such as pectinmethylesterase (PME), the soaking method yields fruit and vegetable products with significantly better post-cook textures. Using this method will also enable manufacturers of shelf-stable fruit and vegetable products to use IQF ingredients in continuous year-round production.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BREWING COFFEE

$
0
0
An apparatus for brewing coffee includes: a filter cup movably supported on a supporting member of a main frame and configured with a receiving space; a control rod connected pivotally to an axle rod disposed above the supporting member; and a piston rod connected pivotally to the control rod and connected fixedly to a piston that is disposed fittingly and movably in the filter cup to divide the receiving space into upper and lower space parts. The piston is operable, based on rotation of the control rod, in a communicating state when moving upwardly and in a closed state when moving downwardly. When the control rod rotates to move downwardly the piston, ground coffee contained in the lower space part is pressed by the piston to the bottom of the lower space part. A method of brewing coffee performed by the apparatus is also disclosed.

Fire Fishing Device

$
0
0
A device for roasting food of fire, the device designed to mimic a fishing pole and having a rod, a wire, and a flipping mechanism.

METHOD FOR REACTIVELY CRUSHING JATROPHA SEEDS

$
0
0
The present invention relates to a method for reactively crushing jatropha seeds, said method making it possible, starting with specifically conditioned jatropha seeds in the presence of light alcohol and a basic catalyst, to carry out, in a single step, the crushing as well as the reaction for transesterifying the triglycerides present in the jatropha oil, thus causing an oil cake, glycerol, and fatty acid esters to be simultaneously produced. The method for processing the jatropha seeds, according to the invention, makes it possible to inactivate, in a simple, low-cost manner, the phorbol esters in addition to the curcine, thus enabling humans to handle the seeds without risk and moreover use the castor oil cake in animal feed. Characteristically, the seeds are conditioned by a series of operations that include a step of pressing the seeds and a step of drying same.
