Simultaneous slicing and washing of relatively firm raw vegetable or fruit products is accomplished in a vat of water into which a slicer apparatus is positioned such that the slices are formed and discharge directly into the water An inclined takeout conveyor serves to receive the slices and remove them from the water. A circulating water current and fluid jets urge the slices to disperse onto the conveyor. A spray of water or air blast removes residual vegetable matter from the slice surfaces before leaving the takeout conveyor for further processing. Slicing and washing a vegetable in a flume volute where the slices are dispersed onto a takeout conveyor is disclosed where the water medium is collected in a tub and recycled back to flow in the flume to a level that covers the slicer's operative parts. The apparatus may be used for simultaneous slicing and cooling of raw vegetables where hot cooling oil is maintained in the system and recycled for reheating.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electric knife also includes a shield that that is adapted to prevent fruit or vegetable matter from entering the housing of the electric knife.

Method for improving the spattering behaviour of a cooking fat product containing 0-5 wt. % of a dispersed aqueous phase comprising the steps a. selecting a cooking fat product containing 0-5 wt. % of a dispersed aqueous phase, b. selecting fat insoluble vegetable matter having a consistency which allows milling to a powder, c. milling the vegetable matter to a powder having a volume weighted mean particle diameter (d4,3) selected from the range 1-2000 & micro; m, admixing the resulting powder to the cooking fat product in an amount of 0.1-25 wt. % on product and getting it evenly dispersed throughout the product.

The subject invention relates in part to novel steps in canola and other oil seed processing, including milling to achieve a significant particle size reduction, extraction of higher levels of protein from the starting material, the use of presscake as a starting material, and the production of a precipitated protein concentrates containing a nutritionally significant amount of oil. The subject invention also provides optimal pH ranges for extraction and recovery steps in these novel processes. The subject processes can be applied to, and offer similar advantages to, other oilseeds and vegetable matter, such as sunflower seeds and flax seeds. The subject invention also includes novel feed compositions.

The invention relates to stable in vitro co-cultures of cells of plant origin and phytopathogens, which make it possible to produce plant substances. The invention also relates to a method for the co-culture of cells of plant origin and phytopathogens in a fermentor to produce substances of interest.

Discloses a two stage filtration system for treatment of fibrous vegetable matter, particularly oilseed materials such as oil-extracted canola flakes to separate the low valued fibrous material from soluble material and small non-structural water-insoluble material of higher value. The filtration system receives a vegetable matter slurry and passes the slurry through first stage filter which is an impeller type filter that operates to separate the slurry into a filtrate and a moist retentate. The moist retentate is further filter in a second compression filtration stage or a centrifuge to remove additional water. Small non-structural insoluble matter is removed in the filtrate.
