A food freshness card is disclosed which emits energy tuned to the natural frequency of fresh foods. The card may include a material programmed using scalar waves. The material may be a hologram. Information is embedded into the material via a setup that uses a wave function generator to produce resonant frequencies for the application and drive wave information from a transmitting electrode to a receiving electrode. The scalar waves between the electrodes may be subjected to a wave or field source modulating the resultant wave information received at the receiving electrode. A material placed on a receiving coil at the receiving electrode receives the resultant wave information programming the material to emit energy tuned to the natural frequencies of fresh foods. Food or liquid placed within an effective radius of the card is kept fresher by exposure to the energetic information emitted by the material.

The present invention relates to a method and device for illuminating and at the same time purifying or disinfecting products such as air, flowers, food, vegetables, meat, poultry or fish. The method comprises the use of IR emitting LED elements.

A substance is treated using a device having: (a) a volute or cyclone head, (b) a throat connected to the volute or cyclone head, (c) a parabolic reflector connected to the throat, (d) a first wave energy source comprising a first electrode within the volute or cyclone head that extends through the outlet into the opening of the throat along the central axis, and a second electrode extending into the parabolic reflector and spaced apart and axially aligned with first electrode, and (e) a second wave energy source disposed inside the throat, embedded within the throat or disposed around the throat. The substance is directed to the inlet of the volute or cyclone head and irradiated with one or more wave energies produced by the first and second wave energy sources as the substance passes through the device.

Cold plasma treatment may be used to sanitize the surface of porous foods. Surprisingly, such treatment may have little or no effect on the oxidative stability of sensitive surface coatings comprising, for example, fats, vitamins, or other compounds subject to degradation by heat, UV treatment, and/or oxidation.

Disclosed is a multi-stack micro-gap discharge type atomization automatic humidifier, relating to the technical field of cold chain logistics equipment for food. The automatic humidifier includes a water tank, one side of the top of the water tank is provided with a mist outlet tube, a power supply module and an atomization device are arranged at the bottom of the water tank, and the power supply module is electrically connected to the atomization device. A multi-stack micro-gap discharge generator is arranged in the mist outlet tube. The multi-stack micro-gap discharge generator can shorten the discharge gap, thus guaranteeing the uniformity of discharge wires and effectively ensuring the space utilization rate. A cold-conducting block in a refrigeration device is embedded into an inner wall surface of a mist outlet round tube, which is used to cool water mist in a mist outlet tube.

A food processing apparatus includes: a reaction tank that contains a reaction liquid including a food ingredient; a reaction pipe that is disposed in the reaction tank and on whose outer surface a photocatalyst (included in a thin film layer) is provided; a light source that irradiates the photocatalyst with light from inside of the reaction pipe; a dissolved oxygen concentration measurer (dissolved oxygen meter) that measures a dissolved oxygen concentration in the reaction liquid; and a controller that stops light irradiation from the light source if a measured dissolved oxygen concentration exceeds a preset first dissolved oxygen concentration.

Described is a method for preparing a nut paste, comprising the steps of: a) treating the surface of nutshells and/or non-shelled nuts to remove surface contaminants from the shell material; b) preparing a mixture comprising: b1) surface-treated non-shelled nuts, b2) shelled culinary nuts and surface-treated nutshells, and/or b3) shelled culinary nuts and surface-treated non-shelled nuts; and c) grinding the mixture to an average particle size of 500 m or less to provide a nut paste; wherein the mixture contains at least 0.05 wt.-% of surface-treated nutshell material based on the total weight of solids, and wherein the mixture does not contain added water. The method enables optimized extraction and yield of nutritionally beneficial components of both nut kernels and nut shells while enabling fast and inexpensive processing. In addition, a nut paste obtainable by the aforementioned method and the use of surface-treated nut shells and/or surface-treated non-shelled nuts in ground form as filler material in the preparation of food is described.

Disclosed is a radiant catalytic ionization detoxification system including a gas-liquid mixer configured to gas-liquid mix air carrying radiant catalytic ionized Reactive Oxygen Species with liquid material to be detoxified, and a reaction tube configured to circulate the mixed gas-liquid mixture. The detoxification system of the present disclosure is applicable to water sterilization or aflatoxin removal in edible oils. The radiant catalytic ionization chamber in the system can provide the system with air containing Reactive Oxygen Species, wherein mesh panels coated with photocatalytic materials are configured inside the chamber body, which configuration not only increases the photocatalytic material content per unit volume, but also expands the light-exposed surface area due to uniform distribution of the photocatalytic materials on the mesh panels. The system uses a U-shaped tube as the reaction tube, and the length of the reaction tube can be freely designed according to the practical detoxification requirements.
