A method for reducing level of contaminants from an object, the method comprises introducing the object into an ultrasonic (US) bath carrying an aqueous medium that holds, suspended therein, insoluble nanoparticles and activating said bath to apply US waves only said object while the object is at least partially submerged within said aqueous medium.

A sensor control system of a food processing system includes a logic processor operatively coupled to an electrode. The logic processor is configured to receive a sensor signal from the electrode, the electrode configured to collect the sensor signal from water used within the food processing system, process the sensor signal to determine a chemical measurement of the water, and generate an electrochemical cleaning control signal for the electrode to interact with the water to electrochemically clean the electrode based upon a user input signal.

A faucet having a series of nozzles positioned longitudinally along the length of a spray arm to provide a robust and thorough delivery of water for the washing of produce. A thermometer may be integrated into the faucet to provide water temperature readings from various locations along the faucet. A valve allows for the nozzles to be turned on or off as desired by a user. The nozzles of the faucet provide a robust spray over the area under faucet, thereby improving the rinsing of produce. The thermometer allows a user to ensure that produce is washed at the correct temperature to open stomata and remove any trapped bacteria or other harmful items.

An apparatus for cleaning and cooking seafood or crustacea has a container with an interior volume defined by wall, a basket removably received in the interior volume of the container, a pipe positioned adjacent to the wall and having a plurality of apertures adapted to direct a flow of water toward a portion of the wall spaced from the pipe such that the flow water creates a cyclonic path in the basket within the container, and a connector fluid equally connected to the pipe and having a portion extending outwardly of the wall of the container. The wall of the container has a taper that matches a taper of the wall of the basket. The basket has a slotted configuration overlying the pipe. A pot is spaced from the container and serves to removably receive the basket.

Alkyl ether amines are used as foam control compounds in foodstuff processing. The alkyl ether amines can be used at various stages during industrial processing of vegetables, fruits, and plants, such as potatoes and beets. The alkyl ether amines are generally of lower molecular weights and therefore easily transported to the foam layer to break the foam structure. Further, the alkyl ether amines are water soluble and therefore can be readily removed from the food processing system.
