A process for manufacturing dry sausage. The process includes preparing a dry sausage meat mixture, stuffing the mixture into a casing or mould, fermenting the mixture, heat treating the mixture, cooling the mixture to a temperature sufficiently low to permit slicing, slicing the sausage, placing the sausage onto a conveyor, and passing the conveyor and sausage through a chamber. The process also includes introducing a supply of conditioned air into the chamber, the air having a relative humidity below about 60% and a temperature in the range of at least about 40° F. to 130° F., and introducing a supply of microwaves into the chamber. The air supply and microwaves are selected to reduce the moisture content of the meat to a predetermined moisture to protein ratio. |

A thermal process used to modify the moisture content and appearance of food, primarily meat, poultry and fowl, so that the resulting product will meet the USDA label requirement as “Jerky”. The process takes place in one or more enclosed insulated chambers which have temperature and relative humidity controls and reversing horizontal air flow. The process preconditions the product and also controls the application of superheated steam to the product, thereby controlling the reduction of free and bound moisture (water activity) exiting from the product. In addition, enhanced heated vapors can be added to be absorbed into the product's surface pours, thereby changing the appearance and flavor of the product and improving the end products' yields. The completed process also has the advantages of meeting lethality treatment requirements while also reducing the thermal processing time and energy associated with existing Jerky manufacturing methods. |

The present invention provides novel and improved processes designed for dehydrating natural products and creating a liquid infused with the dehydrated natural products. The process comprises the steps of selecting a natural product out of which to create the infusion. Once selected the natural product is then dehydrated to a moisture content of 10-25%. Following the dehydration step, the natural product is placed in a microwave vacuum device for additional dehydration under negative pressure and elevated temperature between 120-220 degrees Fahrenheit. Following the microwave vacuum step, the natural product is rapidly cooled to between 36-60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cooled natural product is then granulated or ground to improve its suitability for infusion. To make the infusion, the ground or granulated natural product is exposed to a liquid. |

A process for dry aging meat uses an enclosed, atmosphere controlled room with forced circulation, containing a stainless steel salt rack with a salt brick stack covering one wall. Each brick has a narrow width compared to its length for increased surface area and the salt rack is spaced from the wall for circulation around the bricks. A plurality of unwrapped and uncovered meat piece are loaded onto a meat rack in the room, spaced far from the salt rack and on a timed cycle of days that is a fraction of the total number of days for aging, the meat pieces are moved ever closer to the salt rack until finally, after the expiration of the total selected number of days for the dry aging, they are removed from the aging room for use. |

The manufacturing method of the processed food of shrimp of the present invention enables new processed food of shrimp to provide, in which it has especially fine eating quality in comparison with conventional processed food of shrimp and degradation does not occur in preservation over a long time. A processed food of shrimp of the present invention contains tail part muscle mainly, in which protein content P, free glysin content Gl, and free proline content Pr satisfy respective conditions of below-described A and B simultaneously. The manufacturing method thereof is that there is obtained heat-treated shrimp in such a way that fresh shrimp is subjected to heat-treating while bringing the fresh shrimp into contact with hot water or saturated steam not less than 85° C. before cooling so that lengthwise direction crush strength (N/cm2) of specimen of the tail part muscle of the shrimp, whose size is 5±0.2 mm thick taken in such a way that the tail part muscle is cut in lateral direction in parallel, falls within the range of 15 to 35 N/cm2, upon being measured-by testing machine that is of parallel-plate type pressure testing machine, in which testing is to measure crush strength in lengthwise direction at room temperature. 0.05≦(Gl+Pr)/P≦0.09 A 0.3≦Pr/(Gl+Pr)≦0.5 B |

A dried powdery and granular krill product containing all components of krill. The proteolytic enzymes originally contained in krill materials are perfectly disabled. The product is produced by a process including only heating as means for denaturing protein and disabling the proteolytic enzymes originally contained in krill materials. The product is produced by a process including no chemicals treatment to remove water and disable or inactivate the proteolytic enzymes in any production steps, and generating no wastewater. The production process comprises the steps of lightly dehydrating krill, coarsely crushing the krill, and drying the coarsely crushed krill under heating. Thus, water is removed from the krill by only heating, and degradation of the lipid in the krill product is prevented without using an anti-oxidant. Application fields are enlarged and the preservation characteristic is improved. The so-called zero-emission method and product, generating no wastes, are realized. |

A high-pressure processing method which can produce fish meat and/or a kneaded fish meat products having improved sterilizability, texture and taste by a treatment at a relatively low pressure range is provided. A low-temperature and high-pressure processing method for fish meat and/or kneaded fish meat products which performs high-pressure treatment at low temperature of a frozen preparation of fish meat and/or a kneaded fish meat product obtained by freezing fish meat and/or a kneaded fish meat product after dehydration treatment or without dehydration treatment thereof while maintaining it in a frozen state is provided. Since fish meat and/or kneaded fish meat products which is sufficiently sterilized, has good storability, and has favorable texture can be obtained by the above method even when subjected to high-pressure treatment at a relatively low pressure range, the method is useful in the field of fish meat and/or kneaded fish meat products. |
