| 20080289513 | Fruit Ripening Display - Apparatuses and methods for ripening and displaying fruit are provided. Methods of making those apparatuses are also disclosed. In one aspect, the apparatuses and methods employ multiple platforms and other features for ripening fruit that increase fruit ripening speed, improve fruit flavor, reduce fruit bruising, and accommodate different ripening rates of different fruit. Other aspects and features disclosed herein further help achieve those goals, and particularly help fruit consumers to ripen store bought fruit. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20100089251 | FOOD PRODUCT STEAMER - A steamer for sandwich buns, bagels, croissants, cakes, vegetables, pastas, and other foods delivers fixed amounts of water onto a hot, dry platen through a vertically-oriented water conduit which is also thermally insulated from the hot platen and made from thermally insulating materials. The vertically-oriented water conduit retains water after a water supply is shut off at the beginning or end of a steam generating cycle. Orienting the conduit vertically reduces the surface area of liquid water exposed to air. Insulating the water conduit from the hot platen reduces the rate at which water standing in the conduit evaporates. Tubes used in the water conduit are insulating and easily removed from the water conduit assembly and flexible. Minerals that precipitate out of solution and become deposited onto the flexible tube are easily removed by flexing the flexible tube. | 04-15-2010 |

| 20100206181 | CLEAN ROOM FOOD PROCESSING SYSTEMS, METHODS AND STRUCTURES - Some food pathogens are not well controlled by lethality treatments followed by refrigeration. A food processing facility according to this invention reduces the likelihood that food pathogens will be able to enter the food processing facility, or spread should they be able to enter. The food processing facility is divided into a plurality of area, with different areas having different allowed actions that can be taken on the food product, different rules and/or procedures for persons who are allowed entry, and/or different levels of cleanliness. The hod processing facility includes a plurality of separate rooms for processing the food product, each including separate food processing machines, air handling systems, drain systems and/or often-used supplies and tools. Different air pressures within different areas limit the possible movement of airborne food pathogens. Sanitizing stations are placed between various ones of the different areas. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110005408 | ADJUSTABLE STEAM INJECTOR - The invention relates to an adjustable steam injector of the type which has an injector housing with an inlet for a product which is to be heated and an inlet for steam. The injector housing also has an outlet for the product mixed with steam. The injector also includes an injector body displaceable in the injector housing. About the front end of the injector body there are disposed concentric gaps for product and steam, respectively. The injector body has a recess in its front end. The recess has the same extent as the cross sectional surface of the injector body and has its greatest depth in the centre of the injector body. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110048252 | SHELF LIFE EXTENDING CONTAINER FOR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES - The Shelf Life Extending Container for fruits and vegetables extends the shelf life of various fresh fruits and vegetables and vase life of fresh cut flowers by changing the atmosphere in which these living products are stored and respires. The Shelf Life Extending Container does this by utilizing a Gas Permeable Non-Woven Fabric Based Film. The high oxygen and carbon dioxide permeability of the Gas Permeable Non-Woven Fabric Based Film establishes an ideal atmosphere for the multiple perishable items stored within the Shelf life Extending Container, and therefore extends their shelf life. The establishment of lower oxygen and carbon dioxide atmospheres within the Shelf Life Extending Container using the Gas Permeable Non-Woven Fabric Based Film, also leads to a reduction in the respiration rate of the perishable items stored. The reduction in the respiration rate of the perishable items prevents loss of moisture, production of metabolic heat, yellowing, browning, and reduces the production levels of ethylene by the perishable items. Therefore, the created atmosphere is able to extend shelf life, maintain high quality, and preserve nutrients of fresh produce items by naturally regulating respiration of said produce/flowers. | 03-03-2011 |
