  • Patent number: 8673377
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for extending mold-free shelf life and for improving the flavor of baked goods by applying live yeast on the surface of the baked good after baking and cooling before packaging the baked good in closed bags and storing the packaged baked goods at ambient temperature. This method can be used for all kinds of baked goods including breads, rolls, bagels, pizza crusts, wheat flour tortillas, croissants, cakes, muffins, donuts and pita breads. This method can also be used to produce baked goods containing live probiotic yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii ).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7162848
    Abstract: A filling device for filling containers with foods and closing the containers includes an endless conveyor system for conveying container holders; a container infeed mechanism for supplying containers to the container holders; workstations for carrying out operations on containers conveyed therealong, including a filling station and a closing station; a container discharge mechanism for removing containers from the container holders; at least one processing line provided along the conveyor track for containers to be processed; a housing that at least partially encloses the processing line; and gas supply means for feeding conditioned gases into the housing. The housing extends at least along the filling station and the closing station. Inside the housing, the gas supply means supply gas flow substantially close to filling apertures along outsides of containers. The gas supply means includes a plurality of adjacent gas outflow apertures opening into the housing.
