The present invention discloses a process for production of a salted edible substance based upon halophyte plants, use and system of salted edible substances based upon halophyte plants, in particular in particular as food ingredient in general, including in preparing foodstuff.

A method of drying high sugar content food products such as honey and molasses in a vacuum microwave chamber. The method comprises loading the food product into the vacuum chamber, and exposing the food product to a vacuum pressure in the range of 45 to 250 Torr (60 to 333 mbar) in the vacuum chamber while irradiating the food product with microwave radiation. This dries the food product and forms a porous structure. The method minimizes or prevents foaming and dries the product at a temperature that prevents burning, while reducing the moisture content to a very low level.

Carriers suitable for transporting a plurality of articles through a microwave heating zone are provided. Carriers as described herein may include an outer frame and upper and lower support structures vertically spaced from one another to provide a cargo volume into which the articles are loaded. At least a portion of the upper and/or lower support structures may be formed of an electrically conductive material. Additionally, the carrier may include removable article spacing members, such as vertical spacing members and dividers, that can be selectively inserted to adjust the size and/or shaper of the cargo volume. Carriers as described herein may be configured to receive a variety of different articles, including trays and pouches, and the articles may be loaded into the carrier in a nested or overlapping manner.

A plant for the treatment of vegetable products includes a chamber having walls arranged to delimit an internal environment, which, during the operation of the plant, is closed and isolated with respect to the external environment, the products to be treated being intended to be positioned within such chamber; a lighting apparatus positioned within the chamber and configured to emit infrared radiation on the products to be treated; a ventilation apparatus to circulate air inside the chamber; and a dehumidification apparatus configured to control humidity conditions inside the chamber.

A continuous asphalt mix system for using a microwave heating vessel at the point of production that includes a microwave energy suppression tunnel with one or more mesh flaps for substantially reducing or preventing the leakage of microwave energy from a microwave system, while having a continuous flow of product through the vessel and suppression tunnels. The suppression tunnels are installed on the inlet and/or the outlet side of the system and are sized to suppress leakage.

Methods and apparatuses for reducing the bioburden of cannabis using low-pressure radiant energy processing. The present invention achieves sufficient microbial killing and/or adequate drying without impacting product quality (terpene loss, smell, color, texture, etc.) by appropriate determination and application of pressure(s) and radiant energy (e.g., microwave intensity).
