Abstract
Methods and systems for generating a highly energized fluid formula for use in tempering grains and other foodstuffs is described. The temper fluid described herein is capable of reducing pathogens and/or pesticide residues on grains and other foodstuffs. The tempering fluid may include chlorine dioxide with an oxidative carrier solution, and may further include carboxylic acids. The methods described herein may include an alkaline fluid pre-rinse prior to treatment of the grain with the energized fluid formula.
Claims26
A method of producing an electrolytic temper fluid, comprising:
- combining a chlorite salt solution with a sodium hypochlorite solution to thereby provide a first composition;
- following preparation of the first composition, combining an oxidative acidic fluid with the first composition to thereby provide a second composition;
- and
- following preparation of the second composition, combining an anodic gas with the second composition to thereby provide an electrolytic temper fluid.
A method of treating a foodstuff to remove pathogens and/or pesticides therefrom, the method comprising:
- combining a chlorite salt solution with a sodium hypochlorite solution to thereby provide a first composition;
- following preparation of the first composition, combining an oxidative acidic fluid with the first composition to thereby provide a second composition;
- and
- following preparation of the second composition, combining an anodic gas with the second composition to thereby provide an electrolytic temper fluid;
- and
- following preparation of the electrolytic temper fluid, combining the electrolytic temper fluid with the foodstuff.
