The storage cell includes ventilation means suitable for creating a rear-to-front air flow or a front-to-rear air flow, an inflatable sealing device, and inflation means which allow the inflatable sealing device to be inflated. The inflatable sealing device includes an upper inflatable sealing element and at least one side inflatable sealing element which directly or indirectly allow, in the inflated state, a seal between the upper wall of the cell and at least one part of the top face of a set of products positioned in the cell and a seal between at least one side wall of the cell and at least one part of one of the side faces of this set of products. The upper inflatable sealing element and the side inflatable sealing element delimit a single inflatable chamber, and the inflation means allow the upper inflatable sealing element and the side inflatable sealing element to be inflated by blowing air into this single inflatable chamber.

A system for deaeration of constituents of a liquid product blend includes a first liquid stream supply system and a second liquid stream supply system. A control system is configured to: (i) monitor flow of the first liquid and responsively/automatically control flow of the first deaeration gas in order to achieve a first target ratio of first deaeration gas to first liquid; and/or (ii) monitor flow of the second liquid and responsively/automatically control flow of the second deaeration gas in order to achieve a second target ratio of second deaeration gas to second liquid; and/or (iii) monitor a dissolved oxygen level of (a) the first liquid, at a location downstream of injection of the first deaeration gas, and (b) a combined liquid formed by mixing the first liquid and the second liquid, and to adjust the system based upon the dissolved oxygen level of the combined liquid.

A packaging device incorporating a breathable peel/reseal film and enabling a preservation process for allowing for the distribution, storage and multiple servings of a food product, particularly perishable food product(s), and initiating and controlling the transmission rates, respiration rates or deterioration of the perishable food product(s) and thereby, maintaining good internal and external food quality and normal development of flavor and aroma characteristics. The packaging device includes a plurality of atmospheric control attributes that modulates or controls the atmosphere within the packaging device as the food product(s) respire in order to promote the extended shelf-life of the food product and the maintenance of the quality and desirable marketable characteristics of the food product. The atmospheric control attributes can include perforations that may be positioned in breathable peel/reseal film portion of the package to allow the product respiration for multiple servings without substantially altering the shelf life extension properties of the packaging device.

An internal air adjustment device that includes a gas composition adjustment unit including a gas separation film and that adjusts a composition of internal air existing inside a storage box, such as a container, includes a pressure regulating valve that regulates a pressure of air that is supplied from an air pump to the gas separation film of the gas composition adjustment unit.

An air composition adjusting device includes: an oxygen separator that separates oxygen from external air to be supplied to a target space; a gas supply path including a high concentration gas supply path for oxygen through which the oxygen separator communicates with the target space; and a controller that performs an oxygen concentration raising operation of supplying a high oxygen concentration gas, which has a higher oxygen concentration than external air before being treated by the oxygen separator, to the target space through the high concentration gas supply path for oxygen.

The invention relates to a process for treating food, in particular for curing meat, comprising adding to the food a compound of Formula III, which is a derivative of S-nitroso-cysteine. Use of the compound of Formula III as food preservative and compositions for curing meat are also provided by the invention.

Described herein is a method for operating a refrigerated shipping container containing respiring produce, the method including: passing a cooled CO.sub.2-rich air stream from an internal environment within the shipping container through a CO.sub.2 selective membrane of a membrane system to produce a cooled CO.sub.2-lean air stream and a CO.sub.2-rich permeate stream; retaining or returning the cooled CO.sub.2-lean air stream to the internal environment; and exhausting the CO.sub.2-rich permeate stream to an external environment outside of the shipping container; drawing external air or permitting external air to pass into the shipping container through an air vent with a pre-set fixed opening of the shipping container in a volume to at least balance a volume difference between the cooled CO.sub.2-rich air stream and the cooled CO.sub.2-lean air stream; wherein the membrane system is operated according to a pre-set mode, and the pre-set mode is independent of a measured gas concentration or pressure of the internal environment; and the pre-set fixed opening of the vent is selected based on one or more characteristics of the respiring produce and the pre-set mode of the membrane system.
