$
0
0
In a raw material preparing step, a rice powder as a primary raw material powder is added with a water to prepare a mixed raw material.

PRESERVATION OF MICRONUTRIENTS IN THE SEPARATION OF FAT AND LEAN FROM BEEF

$
0
0
A method for separating fat from lean, while minimizing the loss of micronutrients from the lean, is disclosed. The method includes combining a mixture of fat particles that are a majority of fat, and lean particles that are a majority of lean, with a saturated aqueous fluid, wherein a density of the fluid is greater than a density of the fat particles, and wherein the fluid is saturated with one or more components found in beef prior to being combined with the beef particles. The method includes collecting the fat particles separate from the lean particles by causing the fat particles to rise in the fluid, and collecting the lean particles. The saturated fluid reduces the depletion of micronutrients from the lean.

0
0
A process of treating biomass such as sugar cane bagasse utilizing practically all components of the biomass to produce livestock feed and fuel biomass. Raw bagasse is ensiled for 50-60 days, dried, mechanically separated from soil particles and ground together with plant-derived lignocellulosic materials, pelletized feed material, agricultural processing residues, or by-products at a ratio of 2:1. The resultant ground material is used as cattle feed, feed additives, fuel pellets and for other purposes.

The apparatus (100) is configured to operate in at least one phase in which heated liquid is passed from the liquid heater through the beverage solids and in another phase in which steam is passed through at least a portion of the conveying means. A quantity of water is heated to boiling by the liquid heater and a steam pressure allowed to develop as a result which is sufficient to force steam through at least a portion of the conveying means.

LIQUID RECOVERY SYSTEM

$
0
0
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, anda 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.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THAWING A FROZEN ITEM

$
0
0
The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for thawing a frozen item. The apparatus is capable of suspending or retaining a frozen item (typically a frozen food) in a liquid such that the frozen item remains submerged, thus allowing for the transfer of heat from the liquid to substantially the entire surface area of the frozen item, thereby accelerating the thawing process and ensuring an even thaw. This allows the user to monitor and/or conserve use of the liquid by using a desired amount (typically just enough to fully submerge the frozen item so that the liquid surrounds substantially the entire surface area of the frozen item and/or so that the liquid can circulate above and below the submerged frozen item). Moreover, because the frozen item remains submerged, the user does not have to rotate, flip or otherwise tend to the frozen item to ensure an even thaw.

$
0
0
Food processing apparatuses and associated methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a fish processing apparatus includes two sets of the shim magazines on the opposite sides of mold(s) for making food products. Food shuttles alternate in transporting food shims from their corresponding shim magazines to a position under the mold(s). An actuator presses the mold(s) against the food shim to form food products. The force of the mold(s) can be controlled to improve separation of the food products from the food shim. Formed food products fall on a conveyor, which transports them away from the apparatus for further processing.
