  • Publication number: 20210009296
    Abstract: Cleaning and disinfection of multi-use plastic materials used in the food industry can be accomplished by using microwave radiation in combination with an electrolyte solution, thereby achieving at least 99.99% killing of microorganisms present on and inside the plastic device. Cleaning and disinfection of plastic trays used in security check screening can also be accomplished using microwave radiation in combination with an aqueous solution, thereby achieving at least 99.9% killing of pathogenic microorganisms present on the plastic tray.

  • Publication number: 20200296991
    Abstract: Fluorine being present in the exoskeleton of crustaceans, and especially krill represents a problem for using hill as a source for food, feed, food additives and/or feed additives. There has been developed a process for removing such fluorine from krill material by subjecting the krill to disintegration and to an enzymatic hydrolysis process prior to or simultaneously with a removal of the exoskeleton particles producing a fluorine-reduced product. Inherent in the disclosed process is the ability to process krill material with a high polar lipid content for producing superior quality, low fluorine, products suitable for the food and feed as well as the pharmaceutical, neutraceutical and cosmetic industry.
