Embodiments herein relate to one or more methods comprising heating of a kava product; pressurizing the kava product; electrically pulsing the kava product; homogenizing the kava product; cooling the kava product; and packaging of the kava product; wherein the method is configured to stabilize the kava product against microbiological decomposition.

A kettle process and product formulation protect large fragile fruit or vegetable pieces that have not been previously sweetened or sugar capped. The combination of a two-starch formulation and a controlled time and temperature kettle process are able to solve the problem of preparing a fruit or vegetable product with no sweetener added using a kettle process, providing large/whole pieces of fruit or vegetable with acceptable quality both out of the jar, can, pouch, packaging or the like and/or as a baking ingredient.

A method for preparing a substantially pasteurized and/or sterilized food product; the method, which can be used to produce pasta sauces or soups, comprises: a cooking step, during which a base of the food product is obtained by thermally treating a first component at a temperature exceeding 30° C.; a mixing step, during which said base and a second, substantially solid component are mixed together so as to obtain a mixture; and an ohmic treatment step, during which said mixture is subjected to an ohmic treatment so as to obtain the substantially pasteurized and/or sterilized food product.

The present invention discloses a process for production of a salted edible substance based upon halophyte plants, use and system of salted edible substances based upon halophyte plants, in particular in particular as food ingredient in general, including in preparing foodstuff.

Embodiments herein relate to food products with stable green color and methods of making the same. In an embodiment, a method of making a food product with stable green color herein includes transferring chlorophyll from an aqueous phase to a lipid phase within the food product, forming an emulsion including the lipid phase, and heating the food product including the emulsion. In an embodiment, a sealed food product is included having a container and a food product composition within the container. The food product composition including a stabilized emulsion. The stabilized emulsion can include a lipid phase and chlorophyll, wherein at least 50 wt. percent of the chlorophyll is disposed within the lipid phase of the stabilized emulsion and wherein the food product composition is hermetically sealed within the container. Other embodiments are also included herein.
