A method for preparing a shelf-stable, high-moisture food product is disclosed, including drying the pre-pasteurized food item to a water activity between 0.86 and 0.94; and vacuum packing the dried food item in an oxygen impermeable and water-impermeable membrane.

An apparatus for sterilising material comprising a first pressure vessel, in which the pressure vessel has a vessel infeed and a vessel outlet. The vessel infeed and vessel outlet are adapted to form respective seals with the pressure vessel such that a desired pressure can be maintained in the pressure vessel, and wherein pressure vessel is depressurised such that the material deposited in the pressure vessel is sterilised and at least a portion of the inner surfaces of the pressure vessel are sterilised, such that the material deposited into the pressure vessel can be stored therein for a predetermined period.

The method for treating the atmosphere of a storage in a closed chamber of plant products leads to relative humidity levels greater than 99%, wherein the process comprises at least one step of contacting the atmosphere with a flow of liquid by circulation in a packing. The atmosphere is moistened with water vapor at room temperature until saturation of air.

A packaging bag as an agricultural container has a film which forms a partition separating a housing space which houses agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables from an external space. The packaging bag includes a CA film and a porous film. The CA film contains cellulose acylate having an acyl group substitution degree of 2.00 to 2.97. The porous film is formed such that a plurality of pores having an average pore size of 0.0050 m to 5.0 m penetrate the film in a thickness direction.

Multiple environmental, economic, and ecological issues are linked to a limited number of chemicals such as carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, methanol, formaldehyde and ethylene or disposal of some waste products from farming, transportation, and the beverage industry. Accordingly, the reduction of the impacts of these limited number of gases on the environment and/or ecology is beneficial. Accordingly, there are presented a range of application of methods, systems, and treatments which mitigate these impacts.
