High pressure pasteurization of fresh sausage and fresh meat emulsion and avoiding the loss of color and taste in the process

$
0
0
A process of preserving fresh sausages or fresh meat emulsions with high pressure and avoiding color fading and diminishing of taste comprises the steps of a) packing the products into sealed packages, b) Putting the packages into a pressurization vessel, increasing pressure in the vessel up to 100.000 PSI that the packages are exposed to the elevated pressure. c) Maintaining pressure for a time up to 300 seconds, at a temperature up to 45 F, d) removing the packages with fresh meat products from the pressure vessel. Pathogens are killed during this process providing a longer shelf life while retaining taste, color compared to having fresh meat products that are packed without the benefit of high pressure. To avoid color fading and loss of flavor during this process, spices which are not part of the original and historical recipe are used to compensate.

$
0
0
A spout, system, and method for producing a foam from a pressurized mixture of a liquid containing gas bubbles, e.g., air bubbles. The spout consists of a spout enclosure defining the body of the spout, and which receives the pressurized mixture and conveys the foam out of the spout enclosure. The spout enclosure houses a plurality of screens disposed in series that successively screen the pressurized mixture. Each screen is separated from a consecutive screen by a screen spacing. The screening of the pressurized mixture progressively transforms the gas bubbles in the liquid into foam bubbles of a smaller and generally uniform size. The system uses a manifold having a plurality of intakes which introduce under pressure into a chamber gas, and a solute, solvent or liquid, thereby generating the pressurized mixture containing gas bubbles. This mixture is conveyed out of the chamber via an outtake to the spout enclosure.
