Abstract: Examples provide a cloud-based distributed secure shell (SSH) file transfer protocol (SFTP) server system for responding to client requests. A load balancer assigns client requests to available SFTP servers within the cloud based distributed SFTP server cluster. Each SFTP server is hosted on an individual VM associated with a cloud server. An authentication service authenticates the client requests using a single user profile. A registry table on a first cloud storage maintains metadata describing all the data records stored within a second cloud storage. The registry table and the data records are accessible to all the SFTP servers within the server cluster. In this manner, any server within the cluster can authenticate a user and respond to a client request while providing a seamless and uniform user experience while simultaneously reducing resource usage and improving scalability.

Abstract: Alkyl ether amines are used as foam control compounds in foodstuff processing. The alkyl ether amines can be used at various stages during industrial processing of vegetables, fruits, and plants, such as potatoes and beets. The alkyl ether amines are generally of lower molecular weights and therefore easily transported to the foam layer to break the foam structure. Further, the alkyl ether amines are water soluble and therefore can be readily removed from the food processing system.
