A container includes a metal end applied and sealed to an all-thermoplastic container body by a crimp-seaming or double-seaming operation. The metal end has an outer curl joined to a chuck wall that extends down from the curl. One or both of the inner surface of the container side wall and the outer surface of the chuck wall has/have a heat-sealable material thereon. The metal end is crimp-seamed or double-seamed to the container body and the heat-sealable material(s) are heated to soften or melt such that the interface between the chuck wall and the side wall is fused. The interface is oriented along a direction relative to internal pressure exerted on the metal end such that stress on the interface caused by the internal pressure is predominantly shear stress.

The invention relates to a method and a device for treating foods and/or containers for holding foods. The foods and/or containers (2) are treated in at least one treatment zone (4) by a process liquid (3), wherein the process liquid (3) is at least partially recirculated into the treatment zone (4) or the treatment zones (4) after completed treatment of the foods and/or the containers (2). It is provided herein that during continuous treatment at least some or all of the process liquid (3) is used per time unit to form at least one stream (20) of the process liquid (3), the formed stream (20) is filtered by at least one membrane filtration system (19), and a filtered stream (46) is at least partially fed back into an element (8) holding and/or conducting the process liquid (3) and/or into a treatment zone (4).

Disclosed herein is a conditioning system for nutritional substances. The conditioning system obtains information regarding the nutritional substance to be conditioned, the desired conditioning, and the desired properties, including nutritional content, of the conditioned nutritional substance, and dynamically controls the conditioning in response to this information optimize the organoleptic properties of the conditioned nutritional substance, while minimizing any detrimental changes to the nutritional content.

Disclosed herein are gel-based temperature indicators that include a first absorbent substrate having opposing first and second faces and a first gel coupled to the first face. In some embodiments, the first gel is a gel at a first temperature, and the first gel turns to liquid at a second temperature. In some embodiments, the first absorbent substrate is configured to allow the first gel upon turning to liquid to diffuse through the first face toward the second face.

The present disclosure relates to camel id antibodies that inhibit growth, and colonization of Salmonella serovars. The present disclosure also relates to a modified Lactobacillus as a delivery vehicle for controlling salmonella in a host organism.

Disclosed is a method for producing aluminum alloy materials suitable for use in the food industry including processing of a liquid metal mixture having strontium in addition to aluminum by the twin roll continuous casting technique.

The present invention provides an antiseptic and antibiotic composition containing a Pseudomonas aeruginosa culture solution extract as an active ingredient. The present invention provides a composition for preventing or treating acne, containing a Pseudomonas aeruginosa culture solution extract as an active ingredient. The composition containing a Pseudomonas aeruginosa culture solution extract, of the present invention, exhibits a broad antibiotic spectrum and a high antioxidant effect against various bacteria, and the composition can be applied to a cosmetic composition such as a cosmetic product and can also be useful for antibiotic, sterilizing and antiseptic purposes in various fields such as food, medical supplies, agricultural chemicals and household items. The present invention identifies a specific active ingredient causing the antibiotic effect of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa culture solution extract, and provides the structure thereof.

The present invention provides compositions comprising a probiotc in admixture with an effective amount of an amphipathic substance that enhances viability of the probiotic in the composition when the composition is subjected to heat.

A treatment apparatus and a sterilization apparatus each include a liquid reservoir portion configured to store a treatment subject liquid, a plasma generation portion configured to generate a plasma on or above a liquid surface of the treatment subject liquid, and a bubble supply portion configured to generate a bubble containing the generated plasma on or above the liquid surface and configured to supply the bubble into the treatment subject liquid. Thus, the plasma is generated on or above the liquid surface of the treatment subject liquid, and the bubble containing the generated plasma is generated and supplied into the treatment subject liquid.
