Feasibility study for packaging and pasteurizing meat of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, in retort pouches
… the feasibility of pasteurizing crabmeat in retort pouches compared to cans. Retort pouches and cans were packed with various amounts of crabmeat, pasteurized to an internal temperature of 185°F (85°C) for 1 min, and subsequently cooled. The criteria for evaluation were total processing time, …

Development of continuous processing method for pouches in rotary retorts
The benefits of retort pouches compared to metal cans include a smaller weight and volume and an easier and safer opening process. Decreasing the weight and volume would improve the packing and shipping efficiency of Unitized Group RationsTM. Metal cans are efficiently processed in continuous …

The fluidized retorting of oil shale from the Mahogany ledge of the Green River formation of Colorado
… possesses the greatest possibilities since, when retorted, it produces a shale oil very similar to crude petroleum, and on refining the products produced are similar. Of the fuel resources available in the United States, 98.8 percent is attributed to coal, 0.8 percent to oil shale, 0.2 percent to …

Biological and physical treatment of crab processing industry wastewaters
… removal. Two anaerobic reactors which were fed retort process wastewater at F/M ratios of 0.35 and 0.25 lb COD/1b MLVSS/day, were found to achieve organics removals (on a BOD₅ basis) of 88% and 94% respectively. Similarly, a second pair of anaerobic reactors were fed a mixed wastewater, …

Characterization of a Value-Added Salmon Product: Infant/toddler Food
… meat dinner' were evaluated based on effects of retort processing and bone inclusion. A pureed base was compared with a chunked formulation, and consumer acceptability studies were conducted. The effects of inclusion of salmon roe in the formulations on sensory (odor, flavor, texture, visual …

Effect of oxygen potential on high temperature crack growth in alloy 617
… was measured on both the outlet of the test retort as well as in-situ with a probe located directly at the specimen surface. High purity argon gas was used to establish oxygen partial pressures at low as 10-22 atm while premixed oxygen/argon gases were used to vary the oxygen potential. For …

The culture and rhetoric of the answer-poem:1485-1625:with a supplementary 'Select catalogue of answer-poetry in print and manuscript, 1485-1625'
… expression. As Cicero writes in De Oratore, "to retort is human" ("humanitatis est responsio", II. lvi. 230). The poetics of response was also cultivated, however, under the influence of extensive education in the arts of debate at the grammar schools, Inns and Universities, and under that of the …

Sorption of selected inorganic materials on raw and retorted oil shales
… widescale production is begun. Diversity of retorting processes, the subsequent variability in waste products and the possible waste management schemes makes assessment of these impacts complicated. Waste treatment and disposal are areas which must be researched thoroughly. To properly …

The Estimation of Biological Profile From Unprocessed Human Cremated Remains
… human remains cremated in a commercial crematory retort without pulverization that yielded observations of recognizable skeletal elements that survived the firing process. Therefore, this commercial cremains research can be better applied to forensic fire contexts. The unprocessed cremains of 19 …
