CO2 Hydrate Slurries For Rapid Chilling Of Fresh Food Products
نویسندگان
چکیده
For rapid chilling fresh products we propose the immersion in melting carbon dioxide hydrate crystals, produced at +8 oC and 30 bar. We compare the chilling time of a specific fresh product from 30 to 4 oC making use of a “shock freezer” (2 m/s air velocity, air at -10 oC) and applying a slurry of CO2 hydrate crystals. Furthermore the effect of these two methods on the weight loss of the product is compared. Then the chilling of chicken products through the proposed method is experimentally verified, including microbiologic contamination of samples chilled through highspeed dry air, immersion in melting water and immersion in CO2 hydrate slurry. Finally the economic advantages and practical applicability of the proposed method are evaluated.

Effect of MAP and Different Atmospheric Conditions on the Sensory Attributes and Shelf life Characteristics of Fresh Pistachio Nuts
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) was used to increase the shelf life of fresh in hull pistachio nuts (Pistacia vera L.), meeting the market demand for fresh high quality products. Fresh in hull pistachio nuts were stored at 5°C and three different gaseous conditions including 10% O2, 20% CO2 and 70% N2 (MAP1), 100% CO2 (MAP2) and ambient atmosphere for 42 days. The samples of 300 g of pistac...

متن کاملChallenges Facing the Industry and Scientific Community in Maintaining Quality and Safety of Fresh-cut Produce
Fresh-cut produce industry, one of the fastest growing food industries in the United States, has been rapidly expanding in the last two decades. The flourishing of the fresh-cut produce industry is attributable to the high value placed by modern consumers on foods that are fresh, nutritious, and convenient. However, the recent food borne illness outbreaks associated with the consumption of pack...
متن کاملPhysiological girdling of pine trees via phloem chilling: proof of concept.
Quantifying below-ground carbon (C) allocation is particularly difficult as methods usually disturb the root-mycorrhizal-soil continuum. We reduced C allocation below ground of loblolly pine trees by: (1) physically girdling trees and (2) physiologically girdling pine trees by chilling the phloem. Chilling reduced cambium temperatures by approximately 18 degrees C. Both methods rapidly reduced ...
