  • Rendering Operations

    Rendering Operations

    RENDERING OPERATIONS Douglas P. Anderson Vice-President, Rendering Smithfield Foods, Inc. Summary Whether rendered products are used in feed for ruminants, poultry, swine, pets, or aquaculture, or for industrial uses of fatty acids, rendering operations and how they are performed will influence production costs, sales quality, and financial success. This chapter will include systems descriptions, a brief operating overview of each system, and challenges, present and future. Also described are systems for management of the process to fulfill regulatory requirements and ISO- or HACCP- like systems. Energy consumption, production methods, quality control, process control, and the resulting products are all primarily dependent on the raw material and the condition in which it enters the respective processing system. Although it is still impossible to make a “silk purse from a sow’s ear,” the selection and operation of a particular system can lead to the highest quality finished product possible from a given raw material. Conversely, any system poorly maintained and operated can ruin even the highest quality and freshest of raw material. Environmental repercussions discussed in another chapter are also highly influenced by operations parameters, the system, and the way it is controlled for its process efficiency. Through the years, various techniques have also been employed to alter the finished quality of the rendered products. Various bleaching techniques, antioxidants, additives, and sometimes adulterants can facilitate chemical detection methods used to classify finished products higher on the quality and price scale than would be possible otherwise. Hence, the basic need for a complete understanding of each raw material, processing system, operating technique, and quality control method used in order to maximize the economic gain, while complying with all requirements and regulations at the same time.

    Steaming – an Outdated Method to Cook Tasteless 80'S Food Or the Definition of Trendy and Tasty Cooking?

    “Steaming – an outdated method to cook tasteless 80’s food or the definition of trendy and tasty cooking?” When you hear the word “steam”, you probably think of the 80’s diets. Think again. The method is starting to find its way back into the fine restaurants and even into people’s homes. Tasteology is the name of a new AEG-initiated documentary series uncovering the four steps of how to achieve cooking results that are multisensory, sustainable, nutritional and tasteful all at once. The four-episode series invites viewers on a culinary journey around the world to gain inspiration and knowledge far beyond the usual TV cooking shows. Tasteology will be launched on May 25 and is then available on Youtube. Heating food might be one of the most central steps of cooking, and there are many ways to do so. Boling and frying is probably the most obvious methods but there are many more ways to bring heat to the process of cooking. Steaming is one of them, and has made a comeback. Today, steaming is very popular among top chefs around the world, and has even spread into people’s homes. However, steaming is not to be confused with the term ‘sous vide’ which has also become very popular among the super trendy and curious foodies who want to brag about vacuum sealing food before cooking it at a low temperature either in hot water or with steam. “When you sous vide you’re taking away all the air and the method allows you too cook at a low temperature, just like steaming.

  • Vegetable Steaming 101

    Vegetable Steaming 101

    Vegetable Steaming 101 Steaming vegetables is one of the easiest & quickest ways to get vegetables at each meal. It’s time to ditch the mushy boiled veggies and expensive steamer bags. Learn this simple cooking technique and start steaming your own fresh vitamin­packed veggies! Did you know: ● The longer you cook veggies, the more nutrients are lost. Unlike boiled vegetables, steamed veggies are cooked briefly and then removed from the heat. ● The goal of steaming is to cook the vegetables until they are no longer raw, but still bright and crisp. This preserves color and flavor, and some of the nutrient content. ● Frozen veggies work great in the steamer, so keep a bag of frozen veggies on hand for those days you can’t make it to the grocery store!
