A pulse cleaning system for disinfecting untreated grains and pulses. The pulse cleaning system comprises an outer body, a top end, a top outer edge, a bottom end, and a conveyor. The pulse cleaning system is useful in cleaning a dry commodity by inserting the dry commodity into the top end, cleaning the dry commodity within the outer body, releasing the dry commodity at the bottom end, and collecting the dry commodity on the conveyor. The outer body comprises a top opening at the top end, and a bottom opening at the bottom end. each among one or more exterior burner assemblies and an interior chamber strip burner is configured to create variable flame according to an end user's preference, or according to amounts of a fuel provided. after treatment by the pulse cleaning system, the dry commodity is referred to as a treated grains and pulses.

A method for preparing a shelf-stable, high-moisture food product is disclosed, including drying the pre-pasteurized food item to a water activity between 0.86 and 0.94; and vacuum packing the dried food item in an oxygen impermeable and water-impermeable membrane.

A system for the production of plant products as substitutes for pasta, which includes at least one carousel provided with at least one seat for stably accommodating at least one plant; rotations of the carousel are adapted for temporary alignment with perimetric stations thereof. At least one first perimetric station of the carousel includes elements configured to transfer the at least one plant onto the seat; at least one second perimeter station has a component configured to transversely cut the at least one plant (longitudinal partitioning according to predefined shapes and sizes); at least one third station includes elements configured to longitudinally cut the at least one plant arranged on the seat, in order to provide plant products as substitutes for pasta.

The invention relates to a method of producing an onion flavour compositions, said method comprising: providing onion juice concentrate having a dry matter content of 40-95 wt. %; providing onion component selected from fresh onion, dehydrated onion and combinations thereof; mixing the onion juice concentrate with the onion component in a weight ratio, calculated on a dry matter basis, of 100 parts by weight of dry matter from onion juice concentrate with 4 to 80 parts by weight of dry matter from onion component, to produce an onion mix having a dry matter content of 20-80 wt. %; subjecting the onion mix to a heat treatment at a temperature of at least 90 C. for at least 15 minutes; optionally mixing the heat treated onion mix with additional onion component and/or additional onion juice concentrate to produce an onion blend; drying the heat treated onion mix or the onion blend to produce a dried onion composite having a water content of less than 10 wt. %. This method yields a shelf-stable onion flavour composition that has an intense flavour of roasted, shallow fried or deep fried onions, and that can suitably be used to impart this onion flavour to a wide variety of edible products.

The present invention relates to a process enabling the optimization of the organoleptic properties, particularly the color, of vegetal products containing chlorophyll pigments, comprising a pheophytinisation treatment of the vegetal products, a treatment with a solution having a pH higher than 5, and a treatment with at least one divalent metal compound.

An assembly may include a shelf-stable pouch for fruits or vegetables. The assembly may comprise a pouch having a closed condition and an open configuration. The closed configuration may be configured to seal portions of at least one of the fruits and vegetables and brine prior to heating the pouch for pasteurization. The open condition may allow for the removal and serving of the portions after pasteurization from heating.
