  • Patent number: 12016360
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus of tempering an organic product in an enclosed structure using a liquid maintained at a predefined temperature. The method includes, introducing the organic product through at least one access means of the enclosed structure into the liquid, circulating the liquid from the enclosed structure through a heating unit and back into the enclosed structure to increase a temperature of the liquid up to a predefined temperature, and supplying a gaseous substance into the enclosed structure for a predefined time period based on a temperature of the liquid in the enclosed structure. The organic product is removed through the access means of the enclosed structure when a core temperature of the organic product reaches the predefined temperature.

  • Publication number: 20220125965
    Abstract: The invention relates to sterilizing one or more samples of an organic product placed in a chamber of a sterilization device. The method includes, introducing a specified quantity of a gaseous composition comprising a predefined proportion of ozone and carbon monoxide through at least one inlet of the chamber. The method includes, subjecting each sample with ultraviolet light and the gaseous composition for predefined time period in a controlled atmosphere maintained at 90-100% humidity level and a temperature of ?10 to 5 degree Celsius within the chamber. The method includes releasing the gaseous composition through at least one outlet from the chamber upon completion of the predefined time period, while simultaneously introducing purified air into chamber through the at least one inlet, until presence of the gaseous composition in the atmosphere of the chamber reaches below a threshold value.
