Method And Apparatus For Accelerated Or Controlled Degassing Of Roasted Coffee

0
0
An apparatus for accelerated or controlled degassing of roasted coffee. The apparatus comprises a container for receiving and retaining roasted coffee, a source of inert gas in fluid communication with the container, and a controller. The controller includes a timer and a valve. The valve is operatively associated with the source of inert gas and has an open and a closed position. When in its closed position the valve restricts the flow of inert gas into the container. When in its open position the valve permits the flow of inert gas into the container such that the inert gas displaces at least a portion of the gas in the container. The timer causes the valve to cycle between its open and closed positions at predetermined time intervals. The flow of inert gas can also be controlled through the use of a gas sensor in communication with the interior of the container.

SOLVENT-FREE APPROACH FOR SEPARATION OF CONSTITUENT FRACTIONS OF PULSES, GRAINS, OILSEEDS, AND DRIED FRUITS

0
0
The present invention relates to a novel solvent-free process for the production of protein-, starch- and fiber-enriched fractions or fractions rich in specific compounds from pulses, grains, oilseeds, and dried fruits. Unlike conventional wet processes, this dry process preserves the natural configuration and structure of separated components. This process employs a tribo-electrostatic technique to selectively charge proteins, carbohydrates, fibers, and other components in pulses, grains, oilseeds, and dried fruits and separates them based on the magnitude and type of their charge. The invention also relates to the protein-, starch-, and fiber-enriched fractions or fractions rich in specific compounds obtained using the process of this invention, and to the use of these fractions in a variety of applications that include the food industries, in particular gluten-free market, in the production of high functional protein concentrates and isolates, in particular soy protein concentrate and isolate, as pharmaceutical and/or nutraceutical agents, and in the production of bio-based materials.
