Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mechanical emulsification tank and processing unit.
  • the invention relates to a continuous feed emulsifier used to immerse and process food products, and in particular snack foods, as part of a process for preparing such items for further steps such as cooking, baking, or frying.
  • Another category of methods of reducing fat content is to prepare the food pieces with full fat content through traditional frying methods and to subsequently remove some of the oil through, e.g., centrifugal force, superheated steam, or other methods.
  • Other methods of food preparation which seek to reduce the final oil content, involve alternative methods of drying without frying in oil, such as microwave heating, convection ovens, dryers, etc. These methods suffer from a number of drawbacks, including the difficulty in achieving a uniform coating of oil, adding a great deal of complexity and therefor cost to the process, controlling variation due to temperature which affects viscosity and oil uptake, and other problems.
  • the prior teaches the use of stabilizers to ensure that the emulsion can be sustained during operation, which is a limitation that prior equipment has not been able to address.
  • stabilizers include emulsifiers or surfactants, which can have a negative effect on the products processed by the apparatus, especially food products by affecting the taste of the product and/or introducing chemicals to the process that are not necessary and might prove harmful.
  • prior art emulsion equipment is batch processing devices that lack the ability to adapt to high volume continuous operation, which greatly limits overall production and throughput.
  • Figures 1 A, B, and C show a top, side, and end views of the emulsifier respectively.
  • Figures 2A and B show a top and side view of the emulsifier respectively
  • Figures 2C, D, E, F, and G show a top and side views of the emulsifier piping.
  • Figures 3A and B show a side and top views of the emulsifier with detailed close up views corresponding thereto, which are shown in greater detail in the following figures.
  • Figure 4 is a side view of the emulsifier.
  • Figure 5 is a side top view of the emulsifier with the hood open.

  • Figure 9 is a top end view of the emulsifier with the hood closed.
  • Figure 10 is an end view of the conveyer of the emulsifier.
  • Figure 11 is a view of the heating system.
  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for the preparation of foods, in particular snack foods, with a precisely controllable fat content in which the food pieces are immersed in a 10 water and oil emulsion prior to heating and drying or cooking steps.
  • the emu!sification step, and the equipment for carrying out that step is crucial to the success of the process, and the foregoing is not taught by the prior art.
  • the invention relates to a continuous feed apparatus for the application of the emulsion to most preferable snack food products (but not necessarily limited thereto), IS where such products have traditionally been fried in oil, and are dried through other means, in order to produce a final product possessing similar organoleptic properties to the fried foods but with a substantially reduced fat.
  • the invention is, however, not so limited.
  • the invention can be used with any product that can be prepared using oil, or an oil coating, such as snack foods, like potato chips, crisps, skins, wedges, fries, rinds, flour or cake products, pretzels, crackers, breads, 20 doughs, corn based chips, fritters, tortillas, tofu, vegetables, fruits, candies, cheese, meats, poultry, beef, seafood, shellfish, and the like, including any product that is fried, baked, microwaved, dehydrated, or cooked in any other manner.
  • Traditional means of preparation of fried foods often involves frying the product in oil.

  • the cooking or drying step can utilize any method that includes, but not limited to convection ovens, microwave heating, fluidized bed dryers (of the type disclosed in United States Provisional Patent Application Nos.
  • food and snack food products coated with the oil water emulsion can be cooked in a fryer employing any deep frying methods or devices.
  • This method and apparatus for oil application provides for an even coating of oil on the surface of the food pieces, as opposed to apparatus that spray oil onto product which provides uneven coverage.
  • the process carried out on the apparatus described herein offers an advantage over oil immersion methods in that it allows for precise control over the oil content of the finished product beyond the typical fried product range to be achieved.
