PROCESSES FOR REMOVING WAXES AND PHOSPHOLIPIDS FROM VEGETABLE OILS AND INCREASING PRODUCTION OF FOOD GRADE LECITHIN THEREFROM

$
0
0
A process for removing impurities from a crude vegetable oil. The process involves mixing the crude vegetable oil with removal reagents and pumping the mixture through a multi-stage, hydrodynamic cavitation device. The mixture is subjected to hydrodynamic cavitation processes, which result in the repeated generation and collapsing of vapor bubbles of volatile components in the process fluid, leading to the formation of an emulsion of vegetable oil and a water-phase from the process fluid into an emulsion. The water-phase contains the impurities. The vegetable oil and water-phase are then separated. Lecithin may be made from the phospholipids in the water-phase after appropriate drying processes.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PREPARING A BEVERAGE FROM A SOLVENT AND INGREDIENTS

$
0
0
The invention relates to a method of, and an apparatus (10) for, preparing a beverage from a solvent (11) and ingredients (12). The apparatus comprises:—a container (13) for containing the solvent,—an infuser (14) for containing the ingredients,—a first system (15) for moving solvent from the container to the infuser, and—a second system adapted to assume a first position for moving solvent being in the infuser out of the container, and a second position for carrying solvent being in the infuser back into the container. This apparatus allows preparing a beverage from a solvent and ingredients by means of a preliminary rinsing step of the ingredients, which is conducted in a simple manner for the user. Also, this apparatus allows a user to easily control the rinsing of the ingredients with respect to time, amount of water, etc., which minimizes nutritional loss (e.g. catechins in tea) during rinsing of the ingredients.

$
0
0
Improved processes for the production of engineered feed or food ingredients by extrusion comprise the steps of directing a dry fraction and a byproduct slurry fraction in serial order through a preconditioner and twin-screw extruder in order to create a wet extrudate, which is thereafter dried. The dry fraction is selected from sources of plant-derived starch and/or protein, sources of animal-derived functional proteins, and mixtures thereof. The slurry fraction comprises aqueous byproduct slurries from meat, dairy, vegetable, and fruit processing. The extrusion processes yield high-quality ingredients without the need for conventional rendering.

$
0
0
A method for producing cheese and a device therefore, in particular what is known as a cassette press with round or angular cheese moulds. The method is intended in particular to achieve gentle and hygienic de-moulding of the cheese blocks after removal of whey. A raw cheese mass is first poured into moulds of a cassette press, then pressed to remove liquid and emptied out of the mould after a turning process. Directly after turning, the raw cheese mass in the mould is subjected to a shaking movement, so the pressed raw cheese mass is detached gently from the inner wall of the mould.
