A mixture of baked fruits and vegetables blended with water; homemade puree; organic frozen puree; heart shaped puree baby food. Frozen organic puree baby food in heart molded containers, comprising of part water, baked fruits and vegetables to slow the growth of pathogenic bacteria organically.

A micro-vibration wave generating device includes: a power indicator circuit, a first transformer micro-vibration wave generating circuit, and a receptor. An input end of the power indicator circuit is connected to the power source; an input end of the first transformer micro-vibration wave generating circuit is connected with an output end of the power indicator circuit; the receptor is connected with an output end of the first transformer micro-vibration wave generating circuit. Micro-vibration waves generated by the transformer micro-vibration wave generating circuit can resonate with the waterolecules in the food, and thereby the water molecules form soft and non-spiky crystals of water molecules when they are frozen, which greatly reduces the damage to the food cells. Accordingly, the quality of the food is intact without mixing odors. The present invention can also be used in cooking deep fried food with almost no oil smoke produced.

A strawberry dried product exhibiting high SOD enzyme activities and a preparation method therefor. The strawberry dried product maintains the maximum degree of the original shape, color, smell, and taste of fresh strawberries, that has nutrients such as vitamins, anthocyanin, and multiple amino acids, and exhibits high SOD enzyme activities. The drying method enhances the preserved freshness of fresh strawberries, and provides cooling the fresh strawberries in an average dropping temperature of 20° C. or more per minute to form amorphous ice, and sublimating the amorphous ice to obtain the strawberry dried product.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a porous red ginseng. The porous red ginseng according to the present invention forms a uniform porosity therein and thus obtains a crispy mouthfeel and an excellent flavor without an additional process such as an addition of fructose, etc., such that the resulting red ginseng may be not only directly eaten as an original form or slices of the red ginseng, but also have a very high content of ginsenoside and a low content of moisture therein, thus achieving a very excellent storage quality.

Methods of stabilizing produce, such as fruits and vegetables, are provided. In particular, the methods comprise vacuum impregnating the item of produce in an infusion solution containing a polysaccharide, partially drying the item of produce to reduce its water content below its original harvest-level of hydration, and optionally applying an edible coating to the item of produce. Subsequently frozen items of produce display improved mechanical properties and visual integrity.

The present invention relates to a method of thawing and an apparatus for performing the method.

Systems and methods for washing and thawing objects, such as vegetables and fruits, where large amounts of lifting of heavy items is minimized, complex and expensive pumping and manifold systems and structures are not required; and system cost and daily maintenance is reduced. The system includes a structure for holding a volume of fluid, a vertical motion structure driven by an electric motor or the like that raises and lowers a basket carrier between an elevated position and a lowered position. In the lowered position, one or more baskets are positioned on a basket carrier and are repeatedly lowered into and raised from the volume of fluid.

A composition and method of making a label friendly starch blend includes a composition having greater than 50 weight percent of a heat moisture treated (HMT) potato starch and less than 50 weight percent of a native tapioca starch. In an example, the starch blend includes between about 60 and about 70 weight percent of the HMT potato starch and between about 30 and about 40 weight percent of the native tapioca starch. The starch blends disclosed herein can be suitable for use in a variety of food products, including, but not limited to, tomato-based sauces, cheese sauces, Asian-style sauces, and gravies, particularly for use in freezer meals. The food products containing the starch blends disclosed herein exhibit favorable properties after being cooked, stored in the freezer and then heated prior to consumption. Observations included favorable viscosity, favorable texture and an absence of syneresis.
