The invention concerns a method of producing output wares of the highest possible quality from input wares, wherein the input wares being processed are optically scanned, brought to a target weight, and then formed into a shape suitable for packaging and/or further processing. The invention comprises using deep-frozen input ware, scanning the position, shape and size of the individual input ware by an optical scanning means with direct or indirect consideration of the fiber position of the tuna fish meat, calculating at least one cutting line through the input ware for the cutting off of a tuna fish cut having a desired target weight and/or a desired shape, wherein the calculation of the cutting line involves an optimization process, and cutting along the calculated cutting line in one cutting step.

A tribo-electrostatic separation process and system for the preparation of various food and feed products. A tribo-electric separation process and system for fractionating a feed mixture comprising at least two members of the group of proteins, starches, soluble and insoluble fibers. Namely, supplying a feed mixture comprising at least two of the group of proteins, starches, soluble and insoluble fibers to a tribo-electric separator and simultaneously charging and separating the feed mixture into at least two subfractions, with one of the subfractions enriched in one of protein, starch and fiber and having a composition different than the feed mixture.

Disclosed are freeze-dried powdered fish paste and a method for manufacturing the same. The method of manufacturing freeze-dried powdered fish paste according to the present disclosure does not require the preceding thawing and mixing processes of a conventional fish cake manufacturing process, thereby reducing production costs, significantly increasing gel strength, and enabling the production of fish paste with improved quality (taste, chewiness, and hardness).

The invention relates to fish meal comprising at least 74% by weight of protein, up to 10% by weight of ash and up to 1.5% by weight of phosphorous. The invention further relates to use of the fish meal as a feed for fish, shrimp, cats, dogs, pigs and poultry. The invention further relates to feed for fish and shrimp comprising the fish meal. The invention further relates to a process for producing a fish meal which comprises: (lxxxvi) providing a fish composition comprising raw fish meat and bones, and optionally skin and/or fins; (lxxxvii) subjecting the fish composition to mechanical separation which comprises squeezing soft components of the fish composition through perforations of a perforated drum to obtain a fraction enriched in raw fish meat, whereas a fraction enriched in fish bones, and optionally skin and/or fins remain outside of the drum, (lxxxviii) subjecting the fraction enriched in raw fish meat to cooking, then drying, and optionally grinding.

The invention further relates to a process of treating a raw fish composition to increase its content of protein, reduce its content of ash and/or reduce its content of phosphorous, wherein the process comprises: (lxxxvi) providing a fish composition comprising raw fish meat and bones, and optionally skin and/or fins; and (lxxxvii) subjecting the fish composition to mechanical separation to separate the fish bones, and optionally skin and/or fins from the raw fish meat which comprises squeezing soft components of the fish composition through perforations of a perforated drum to obtain a fraction enriched in raw fish meat.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a laver-like processed food using onions (Allium cepa L.), and more specifically, to a method of manufacturing a laver-like processed food using onions that has excellent texture and an improved flavor, wherein, according to the method of the present invention, after onions are molded into sheets and dried, the onion sheets are prevented from sticking to a laver mat for drying and being damaged when the onion sheets are separated from the laver mat, and in this way, a laver-like processed food that is thin and springy can be mass-produced without wasting raw ingredients.

The present invention relates to a process for continuous manufacture or recovery of meal and oil from organic material. More specifically the present invention relates to a device and a method for regulating the energy usage and distribution of energy within the system for maintaining continuous production of meal and oil.
