Stripping fruit

High pressure processed products are commercially available in the United States, Emopean, and Japanese retail markets. Examples of high pressure processed products commercially available in the United States include fruit smoothies, guacamole, ready meals with meat and vegetables, oysters, ham, chicken strips, fruit juices, and salsa. Low acid, shelf-stable products such as soups are not commercially available yet because of the limitations in killing spores with HP. High pressme results in foods with fresher taste, and better... 

Monophasic action potential. Glycerin/ ethanol extract of the fresh leaf, administered intragastrically to dogs at a dose of 30 mg/kg, increased duration of ventricular monophasic action potential (16%) . Mutagenic activity. Ethanol (100%) extract of the fresh leaf, on agar plate, was active on Salmonella typhimurium T1530 . Natural-killer cell enhancement. Fixed oil of embryos, administered orally to adults, was inactive . Nonsaponifiable fraction of fruit fixed oil and seed oil, administered to rats at a dose of 0.3% of diet, were active. The polyphenol stripped seed oil was inactive .

Figure 6 shows dramatically the good results achieved with the irradiation-sensitive tape. It is intended for a go/no-go check and has a sharp color change. The indicated dose was of the order of 1.5 Mrad, but more exact data are not available. It is interesting to note that after five days at room temperature no obvious breakdown or other injury could be noted with this sample. To facilitate comparison over the full spherical area, the tapes were stripped from the fruit and laid out for examination. 

For the bulk of the work, blue cellophane strips were used. These were secured to individual fruits as meridians at 60° spacings running from stem to navel. After irradiation, each tape was sampled at the stem end, equator, and navel end. Eighteen readings per fruit were sufficient to demonstrate good uniformity. A sample series of readings is shown in Table I. 

The feed can be many pumpable fluids, including suspensions, so the range of applications is wide. Organics can be stripped from aqueous streams such as fruit juices, fermentation broths, enzyme reaction mixes and waste water. Carbon dioxide soluble components can also be stripped from oils. Applications are seen to be especially appropriate in the flavors, pharmaceuticals, environmental, analytical and fine chemicals sectors. 

The most suitable equipment for the production of dried fruit is the chamber or shelf dryer. Smaller types have strips inside, along which the drying screens (shelves) are moved like shutters. Bigger dryers are designed in such a way that a mobile stand is filled with these shelves. The stand is then pushed into the dryer. Electrical heating elements are usually employed to heat the dryers. Built-in fans provide the necessary air circulation. The better dryers are fitted with air baffle plates which distribute the warm air evenly throughout the dryer. 

Steam distillation is used when normal distillation is not an option, due to thermal sensitivities. By adding water or steam, the boiling points of compounds can be depressed, allowing them to evaporate at lower temperatures. After distillation the vapours are condensed and typically yield two phases water and organics. These can then be easily separated on the basis of their different densities. On a simple level, this can be seen every day in fresh black coffee, where small amounts of organic, water-immiscible oils float on the surface. Steam distillation is employed on an industrial scale in the manufacture of essential oils (e.g. lavender, eucalyptus and fruit oils) that are used in the food and flavour industries. In this area, the use of water is highly desirable as a natural solvent. Steam distillation is also used in petroleum refineries and petrochemical plants, where it is commonly referred to as steam stripping . 

After sterilization, the pahn fruit bunches pass through stripping/threshing equipment that removes the individual fruits from the stalks. Two types of stripping machines are available drum strippers and beater strippers. The separated fmits are washed to remove sand and then go to a twin-screw-press to squeeze out the pahn fmit oil. The oil is then clarified of moisture and solid matter that came out with the oil. 

Fruit disappears. Cause Birds. These creatures love blueberries so much that unprotected bushes are often stripped clean of berries, even before they are fully ripe The only sure protection is a net draped over the planting and held to the ground to prevent birds from getting underneath.
