The present application relates to an instant rice, and more particularly, to a nutritious rice mixed with mushrooms in the form of an instant rice, and the instant rice can exhibit sufficient sterilization effect due to microorganisms lower than a threshold value in the final instant rice, even when the instant rice is prepared using raw ingredients that are susceptible to microbial contamination of are difficult to sterilize, and does not cause the problem of deterioration in rice quality that may occur due to strict sterilization, and thus can exhibit excellent texture and taste.

Method to reduce contamination of dehydrated products, which includes: reception of the contaminated and partially or totally dehydrated product; analyze the contaminated and dehydrated product to determine the type and degree of contamination it has; through conventional analysis techniques that detect the presence of contaminating agents; place the contaminated and dehydrated product inside containers made of a material resistant to high temperatures and pressure, and configured in such a way as to allow the circulation of gaseous fluids so that said gaseous fluids make uniform contact with the product to be decontaminated; subject the contaminated and dehydrated product to at least one decontamination treatment, according to the results of the contamination analysis; and package the dehydrated and decontaminated product.

The present application relates to a method for the preparation of an instant food and an instant food prepared according to same, wherein even when the instant food is prepared using raw ingredients and liquid sauces that are susceptible to microbial contamination or difficult to sterilize, the amount of microorganisms in the prepared instant food is lower than a threshold value, and thus a sufficient sterilization effect can be achieved, and the problem of reduced quality that may cause due to strict sterilization does not occur, and thus an instant food having excellent texture and taste can be provided.

A digital pressure canner and related methods of operation that provide for improved safety and consistency during a food canning process by reducing temperature over and undershoot. The digital pressure canner includes a digital control operating with inputs from digital sensors to accurately control the canning temperature during the canning process. By reducing over and undershoot of canning temperatures, foods within the pressure canner are maintained at temperatures sufficient to kill any bacteria or microorganisms for the entire canning cycle. In order to verify operation of the digital canner at sufficient canning temperatures, mechanical safety devices, for example, a pressure relief valve can be utilized in conjunction with digital controllers and sensors to provide audible and visual feedback to a user during the canning process.

A packaged food product and methods of making and using it. In some embodiments. The packaged food product may comprise a cup containing multiple ingredients in sealed pouches suitable for use in making an omelet or other egg-based entr?es, with the cup being suitable for microwave cooking of an egg-based entr?e. The ingredients may include vegetable components that offer organoleptic properties similar to those of fresh vegetables after an extended period of time. Ideally, time required for processing, shipment, storage, etc., which may be, e.g., several weeks, may pass without unacceptable degradation of taste, texture, mouth feel, flavor, aroma, color, nutritional content or other important qualities. In some embodiments, the ingredients may also include additional components, such as, for example, one or more meats, and/or one or more varieties of cheese.

The present application relates to a method for preparing an instant rice and an instant rice prepared thereby, wherein even when the instant rice is prepared using raw ingredients that are susceptible to microbial contamination or difficult to sterilize, the amount of microorganisms in the prepared instant rice is lower than a threshold value, and thus a sufficient sterilization effect can be achieved, and the problem of reducing Bap quality that may cause due to strict sterilization does not occur, and thus an instant rice having excellent texture and taste quality can be provided.

When a food processing vessel under vacuum is repressurized, the tendency of product in the vessel to be forced into feed lines is relieved or overcome by establishing an effectively high pressure in the feed lines.

A method and device to treat liquid to reduce the amount of microorganisms in the liquid to a preselected level and/or to mitigate the growth of microorganisms are disclosed. Utilizing the method or device, liquid product is sprayed into a cavity of a reactor using a nozzle that produces a flat spray to provide means for efficient heating and treatment of the liquid.

Provided herein is a method of sterilizing a seasoning sauce which includes performing sterilization at an ultra-high pressure. The method of sterilizing a seasoning sauce according to an embodiment has a more excellent sterilization effect on a seasoning sauce than that of an existing heat sterilization method and enhances taste and flavor of the seasoning sauce.

A high temperature food heating device includes a high temperature heating tank composed of three tanks, which are a main tank, a front reserve tank and a reserve tank, each of the front and rear reserve tanks has a first storage part having an opening at the upper part and a second storage part communicating with the first storage part at the lower part of the first storage part and having an opening at the upper part. In the high temperature food heating device, a communication chamber for communicating between a water surface of each of the second storage parts of the front reserve tank and the rear reserve tank and a water surface of the main tank and storing a liquid or a gas inside is provided, and a high pressure gas or a pressurized liquid is supplied from a high pressure fluid supply section into the communication chamber.
