261 Apparatus for pressure treating shellfish US09524442 2000-03-14 US06393977B1 2002-05-28 Ernest A. Voisin
The invention relates to a process for eliminating pathogenic organisms from raw food products, such as raw shellfish, whereby the molluscan shellfish is exposed to hydrostatic pressure of relatively high value, for example between 20,000 p.s.i. to 50,000 p.s.i. for 1-15 minutes. The process is conducted at ambient temperatures, leaving the raw shellfish substantially unaffected, in its desired raw state, such that the pathogenic organisms are destroyed, while sensory characteristics of the raw shellfish remain high. The same process can be used for shucking oysters without any mechanical force. A high pressure processor for elimination of bacteria in raw food products is disclosed.

264 System for treating meat US09605528 2000-06-29 US06306029B1 2001-10-23 John B. Long
A meat treating system, i.e. method and apparatus, for tenderization and/or killing microorganisms in and on the meat, includes an outer heavy-duty circular-cylindrical cylinder and a meat-holding inner container concentrically disposed within the outer cylinder with an annular space therebetween. The bottom of the cylinder is sealed so that a column of water can be supported in the annular space. Upon generation of an explosive discharge, a shock wave is created to effect tenderization and/or the killing of microorganisms. The explosive discharge, which can be created either by a chemical explosive or by a capacitor discharge, also serves to blow open the seal at the bottom of the cylinder permitting the column of water to escape.
265 Method of rapid curing and processing bacon derived from pork products US09733419 2000-12-08 US20010028911A1 2001-10-11 Ralph E. Weldy; Brent Afman

271 Method for reducing contamination of shellfish US912410 1992-07-14 US5482726A 1996-01-09 William L. Robinson, Jr.
A method is described herein to disinfest, decontaminate and extend the shelf life of shellfish by using an open-end system where trawled shellfish are placed on a computer controlled conveyor belt after being washed with seawater. Shellfish are then transported into pressurized treatment tanks that contain either gas or gas molecules (i.e., 1-ascorbic acid). After exiting the tank the shellfish are automatically placed in rows on a conveyor belt for their controlled, sequential irradiation. The shellfish then enter the irradiation chamber in the presence of carbon dioxide and it is then irradiated with machine generated electron beams. Upon completion, the shellfish exit the irradiation chamber via a conveyor belt and are then transported to an agitated continuous flow depuration tank that is equipped with ultra-sonification devices. The shellfish remain in these tanks until arrival at the port.

275 Apparatus for the preparation of pre-cooked meat products US442412 1974-02-14 US3961568A 1976-06-08 Morris R. Jeppson
Bacon or other meat food is prepared for distribution and storage in a pre-cooked heat and serve form by a sequence of distinct steps in which microwave heating is preceded by a steam heating step and may be followed by a finish hot gas treatment to control final moisture content, on a conveyorized continuous process basis. Preferably the pre-microwave treatment is accomplished in two stages consisting of a steam stage followed by a hot air stage. The amount of costly microwave heating and the length of microwave tunnel required is reduced by the preliminary steam treatment which economically accomplishes a partial cooking including rendering of fat and partial dehydration. Hot air treatment preceding or accompanying the mirowave heating removes surface moisture which would otherwise absorb microwave energy. Steam flow during the preliminary treatment is preferably opposite to the direction of movement of the product which then encounters progressively hotter and drier steam to optimize the preheating and initial rendering of fat. The process may be followed by asceptic or hot-fill canning or by a chilling step prior to packaging for storage under refrigeration. Rendered fat may be recovered from each heating stage of the process with the fat from the steam stage preferably being passed through the subsequent hot air treatment region to provide a desirably dry fat.

277 Process for preparation of common mullet roe US46977174 1974-05-14 US3914422A 1975-10-21 CHEN YUNG KONG
Preparation of roe of the family mugilidae known as the common or striped mullet (mugil cephalus) for consumption wherein the ovarian membrane enclosing the roe is first cleaned and dried and then impregnated with salt either in brine or dry form. Thereafter, the membrane is encapsulated with an absorbent material composed of cloth or paper to form an envelope which is placed on a flat horizontal surface and pressed from above with a further flat surface with sufficient pressure, 0.25 - 1.5 pounds per square inch applied to the membrane, to flatten it without rupturing. The pressure is maintained for a period of about 8 to 100 hours to flatten the membrane to approximately one-half of its original height in an ambient temperature of 40* - 100*F. Upon removal of the flattened envelope from the pressure, the envelope and any other extraneuous material is stripped from the membrane and same is dried for a period of four to fifteen days in a predetermined ambient relative humidity not in excess of 75% as required to achieve a desired mositure content of the membrane and roe - the weight of same having been reduced by about onehalf in the process.
