Definitions
- the present invention is in the area of produce and more particularly pertains to Consumer-oriented system for the delivery of produce including convenient and accessible packaging and improved methods of safety and packaging for eliminating pathogens, increasing shelf life, and for reducing spoilage.
- a related issue is when a customer brings the fruit home from the grocery store. Oftentimes, the vagaries of life will result in spoiling fruit in one's refrigerator or kitchen counter. As the fruit starts to turn brown and dehydrates, many customers simply throw the fruit away.
- an apparatus for the purpose of facilitating the consumption of produce, eliminating pathogens, increasing shelf life, and for reducing spoilage.
- the Consumer-oriented system for the delivery of produce includes the steps of: a.) Receiving the fruit at a temperature between 38°-50° F., b.) Washing the fruit at a temperature between 38°-50° F., c.) coring, skinning, and/or removing seeds from the fruit under aseptic conditions, d.) slicing the fruit into small bite-sized portions, e.) passing the fruit through a metal detection system, f.) placing the bite sized portions of fruit into the Packaging, and g.) cold pasteurizing (pressurizing) the packaging with the inserted fruit in a high pressure system at a temperature between 38°-50° F.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a side elevation view of an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a side elevation view of an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a side elevation view of an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 6 is a front elevation view of an embodiment of the present invention.
- a unique Consumer-oriented system for the delivery of produce including improved methods of safety and packaging is provided for the purpose of eliminating pathogens, increasing shelf life, and for reducing spoilage.
- the present invention is described in enabling detail below.
- fruit shall hereinafter refer to all fruit, which are adaptable for use with the following methodologies. Given the rigorous nature of the accompanying methods, not all fruit may be expedient for use with the present process.
- produce shall hereinafter refer to all fruit, vegetables, or other foods, which may be adaptable for use with the various embodiments described herein.
- FIG. 1 illustrates that the Consumer-oriented system for the delivery of produce including improved methods of safety and packaging 100 includes a Step 1 for Receiving the fruit at a temperature between 38°-50° F. 101 , a Step 2 for Washing the fruit at a temperature between 38°-50° F.
- Step 3 for coring, skinning, and/or removing seeds from the fruit under aseptic conditions
- Step 4 for Slicing the fruit into small bite-sized portions 104
- Step 5 for Passing the fruit through a metal-detection system 105
- Step 6 for placing the bite-sized portions of fruit into the packaging
- Step 7 107 for Cold Pasteurizing the packaging with the inserted fruit into the high pressure system at a temperature between 38°-50° F.
- the first step of receiving the fruit through a cold chain logistics system at a temperature between 38°-50° F. 101 is used for the purpose of ensuring the handling, processing, and packaging are done under a consistently maintained ambient temperature of 38°-50° F.
- the fruit will arrive in a refrigerated truck directly from the groves, orchards, or the like at said temperature. Subsequently, it is received in the loading bay at the same temperature. This is hereinafter referred to as the “cold chain”.
- the process described herein maintains this temperature for the purpose of ensuring the freshness and sanitation of the fruit.
- FIG. 6 750 , 751 , 752 have varying degrees of thickness and durability. They also have their unique degrees of holding various pathogens. As such, a pineapple may have to be washed at a different pressure setting as opposed to an orange.
- the step for washing the fruit is performed at a temperature between 38°-50° F.
- This process is performed under aseptic conditions wherein the employees wear hair-nets 525 , and the whole facility is maintained using fastidious methods of sterilization as illustrated in FIG. 5 . Moreover, the entire process is executed with a vigorous washing of the hands, and other measures may be taken to reduce the presence of air-borne pathogens and fungi.
- the third step of coring, skinning, and/or removing seeds from the fruit under aseptic conditions 103 is used for the purpose of preparing the fruit for insertion into the packaging. This step will vary due to the particular type of fruit upon which employees are operating.
- the fourth step includes slicing the fruit into small bite-sized portions.
- the tools by which the users cut the fruit must also be rigorously sterilized with heat, soap, water, and other methods.
- most packaging may further comprise a fork, spoon or other utensil so that a consumer may be able to eat the fruit.
- the fifth step of passing the fruit through a metal-detection system 725 is used for the purpose of removing any metallic particles, which may be found within or upon the fruit as a precautionary measure.
- the metal-detection system environment is maintained at a temperature of 38°-50° F. to maintain the cold chain.
- the metal detection system further comprises a semi-sealed unit 775 with an integrated refrigeration system 755 within the housing 765 , which is disposed near the metal detection device 785 .
- Step 6 106 includes placing the bite-sized portions of fruit into the Packaging 255 .
- FIG. 4 illustrates that in one embodiment, the Packaging has a bottom surface 555 , which is wider than the top surface for the purpose of enabling the main package to stand in an upright or vertical position to make the product attractive on store shelves or other point of sale displays. This is sometimes referred to as a “pouch”.
- Step 7 107 includes Cold Pasteurizing the fruit which are housed in the packaging by placing those sealed packages within a high-pressure system 155 . This process is also performed under cold-chain conditions at 38°-50° F.
- This cold pasteurization process takes place in a hydrostatic chamber.
- the fluid in which the packaging are immersed can be subjected to pressures up to 80,000 psi in order to destroy many food-borne pathogens such as Listeria, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella.
- this pressurization process is also used to target the very microorganisms, which are the primary causes of fruit or produce spoilage.
- the pressurizing process although rigorous on the pathogens, leaves the taste, shape and integrity of the fruit in its original and unaltered natural state.
- the High Pressure Process is able to act quickly and evenly on food, neither the size of a product's container nor its thickness play a role in the effectiveness of pressurizing.
- the High Pressure Process does not greatly affect the nutritional value, taste, texture, and appearance.
- the high pressure treatment of foods is regarded as a “natural” preservation method, as it does not use chemical preservatives.
- the packaging will be comprised of one type of fruit.
- the larger packages will comprise a plurality of fruits, which are housed in their own respective packaging. These packaging are then selected based upon their intrinsic nutritional makeup. The composite of these fruits with their particular vitamins and nutrients are used to meet or achieve the parameters of a particular physiological goal or predetermined level in the body of the consumer.
- the larger package may include another selected fruit housed in its own individual compartment, which will be relatively high in Magnesium. Therefore, in one embodiment, the variety of fruits may be mixed and matched to achieve a particular nutritional metric in terms of vitamins, minerals, calories, carbohydrates, acids, or other quality.
