The present invention offers an intentional use of a slice as a system for the deliberate delivery of vegetable or fruit servings. The slice comprises the use of whole vegetable powders, whole fruit powders or a combination thereof as a highly concentrated source of vegetable or fruit material. In addition, the formulation provides for desirable organoleptic properties which over-come the negative texture and flavor qualities generally associated with vegetable powders and or fruit powders.

The present invention provides a method for the production of an edible object, comprising providing an edible powder composition suitable for selective laser sintering and an edible liquid, and subjecting said composition to selective laser sintering (SLS) to obtain the edible object. The invention can be used to produce food products using SLS, such as a pasta, a bakery product, a dry mix for beverage, an instant soup or a confectionary product, among others.

A process and an apparatus for controlling temperature loss and shrinkage of meat after an animal is slaughtered for food. Shrinkage is controlled by compressing the meat during cooling, the compression offsetting a natural tendency of the meat to contract and providing a measure of control over the shaping of the meat. Apparatus for the process includes one or more rigid rings for placement around the meat. Each ring is wrapped with a thread secured rigidly to one side of the ring and secured movably to the other side such as to allow the length of thread on the second side of the rigid ring to form at least one winding around the meat. As the meat cools, the thread shrinks, applying the thermal contraction of the thread along the ring to constrict the winding around and thus longitudinally elongate the meat.

Dehydrated tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) candy foodstuff compositions are described, wherein the composition includes water, THC, and/or insects, a binding agent, an acid, or an oil. The composition includes flavorings, enhancers, lipids, emulsifiers, surfactants, esters, and various other ingredients, and may include various types of treated water.
