An apparatus plant is described which includes a continuous autoclave (1) for the heat treatment of foods measured into open containers (9) loaded onto trays (12) which are advanced through the autoclave (1) by a stepping conveyer (38). A cooling chamber (6) communicates at one end with the autoclave (1) through an air-lock tunnel (7) and at the other with a sterile assembly for sealing the containers (9) full of cooked food.

Apparatus for producing ready-to-eat cooked foods

Separate independent streams of pumpable and non-pumpable ingredients of a complex food article are first subjected to respective specific thermal stabilization treatments and are then cooled and combined into the desired complex food article which is finally sealed in a package. All the operations are carried out in an aseptic sterile environment.

Method of making complex food articles having prolonged shelf-life

A method is disclosed wherein amounts of fresh minced meat, high protein concentration meat juice, and vegetable oils are processed by mixing and cooking. The end product is a spreadable, meat-containing condiment having a high protein concentration and being glutamate-free.

Method of preparing a glutamate-free, spreadable meat-containing

In a sterile environment, metered amounts of a pasta product are sterilized by means of steam, cooked in salted water, freed of all the cooking water, and finally packaged within sealed containers. The end product is a dish of long-term preservation cooked pasta for direct consumption, it having organoleptic properties quite comparable with those of a freshly prepared dish of pasta.
