Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an auger dip apparatus for the application of antimicrobial solution to raw food. Embodiments of the present disclosure may use an auger as a single moving part to move the food work pieces through the application area for antimicrobial solution. Embodiments of the present disclosure are simple with only one moving auger part to move the food pieces, and the bearing for the moving part, supporting the shaft of the auger, may be configured to be outside of the cabinet with the reservoir of the antimicrobial solution, so that the bearing is not in contact with the antimicrobial solution. This provides for less maintenance and downtime, particularly unscheduled downtime, than a system using more complicated exposed parts. The present disclosure also permits a more compact and lighter configuration for an assembled application unit.

Disclosed is a device and method for preparing composite ice glaze, relating to the field of freshness of aquatic products. The device includes a frame portion, a mother liquid preparation portion, an ice glaze preparation portion, an ice glaze post-processing portion and a controller system; the frame portion includes a shell, a base, and a thermal insulation baffles; the mother liquid preparation portion includes a main water inlet pipe, a water storage tank, mother liquid tanks; the ice glaze preparation portion includes a homogenizing tank, a homogenizing tank inlet pipe, a waste cylinder inlet pipe; the ice glaze post-processing portion includes a reception cylinder, and a waste cylinder. The device provided by the invention is simple to use, and the prepared concentration is accurate and effective, so that the compounding process can be simplified and the compounding efficiency is effectively improved.

The present invention relates to electrochemically reduced nitrites from plant sources, such as vegetable extracts, where the plant-based extract contains nitrite in an amount sufficient to cure meat equally as effective to synthetic compounds when the dosage of nitrite was the same.

A capture unit for use with an antimicrobial application unit may include an upstream filter and a downstream filter. The upstream filter may be positioned to receive effluent from the application unit and to filter solid components from the effluent. The resultant upstream effluent filtrate may then be passed downstream to the downstream filter. The downstream filter may be used to filter an antimicrobial component from the upstream effluent filtrate and the resultant downstream effluent filtrate may be suitable for disposal as wastewater discharge. The antimicrobial is preferably a quaternary ammonium compound, is more preferably an alkylpyridinium chloride, and is most preferably cetylpyridinium chloride.
