Application System with Recycle and Related Use of Antimicrobial Quaternary Ammonium Compound
An antimicrobial application system is disclosed, comprising an antimicrobial application unit and a recycle unit. An initial, dilute antimicrobial composition is prepared. The composition is provided to the antimicrobial application unit and applied to workpieces, such as raw poultry. After application to the workpieces, the composition is returned to the recycle tank. The concentration of the antimicrobial in the recycle tank is monitored, and additional antimicrobial is automatically added if the concentration of the antimicrobial in the composition falls below a desired amount. The composition is periodically diverted to a capture tank, and the antimicrobial is selectively removed from the composition. The removed antimicrobial and remaining composition are then disposed of in appropriate manners. The antimicrobial is preferably a quaternary ammonium compound, is more preferably an alkylpyridinium chloride, and is most preferably cetylpyridinium chloride.

METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING RETORT RICE, AND RETORT RICE
A method for manufacturing retort-pouch rice is described. The method makes it possible to implement a production process using an assembly line and increases production efficiency by reducing the amount of time taken by a preprocess prior to a retort sterilization process. The method is characterized in that: uncooked rice is treated by pressurized heated steam, forming a thin gelatinized layer in the surface layer of each rice grain and rendering the center of each grain porous; without being cooled, the rice grains are immediately sealed inside a container together with a prescribed amount of rice-cooking liquid; the rice grains are immersed in and made to absorb the rice-cooking liquid; the water-absorption state of the rice grains and the amount of rice-cooking liquid in the container are adjusted; and retort sterilization is performed.

Apparatus and Method for Simultaneous Cutting, Imprinting and Piercing of Dough
An apparatus configured for concurrently cutting, imprinting and piercing of a sheet of dough consisting of flour, water and yeast to produce imprinted loaves is disclosed. Arrays of molded frames each containing edged borders and an emboss pattern are placed onto the surface of a cylinder member configured for rotating onto a sheet of dough to simultaneously cut out loaves, imprint the loaves with the emboss pattern and pierce the loaf with pins. The emboss pattern contains areas raised above the surface of the cylinder member and recessed areas below that surface. The emboss patterns include a plurality of Coptic religious symbols that are imprinted onto the loaves to form a Korban used for ceremonial purposes. The emboss pattern is heated and initiates a par-baking process when the cylinder member engages the dough. The formation of the Korban loaves is completed by baking the loaves in the oven.
