The limited budget allocation and storage chemicals space are the main reasons food SMEs manufacturers took cleaning and sanitation for granted. A portable Electrolyzed Water Cleaning Rig which can generate sanitation solution and at the same time generated high-speed water will ease the cleaning and sanitation process for SMEs. In this study, the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ method) is applied in the development of portable electrolyzed water cleaning rig. A new conceptual design for the rig, which is robust and affordable is proposed. The rig could improve cleaning efficiency significantly in SME food industry in Malaysia, which is a major cause of a low number of SME with GMP certification. However, the final conceptual design has to undergo several modifications for assembly and manufacturing purposes, which will be performed in further study. The idea of generation for the portable electrolyzed water cleaning rig design was illustrated based on the TRIZ contradiction matrix. This portable unit will be able to generate both strongly acidic electrolyzed water (AcEW) and strongly alkaline electrolyzed water (AlEW) solution continuously. Both cleaning solutions are green cleaning solutions which can replace the commercial cleaning sanitation solutions. The development of the conceptual design of the portable Electrolyzed Water Cleaning Rig will help food SMEs tremendously.

By Products

Food demand is increasing every year and, usually animal-derived products are generated far from consumer-places. New technologies are being developed to preserve quality characteristics during processing and transportation. One of them is electrolyzed water (EW) that helps to avoid or decrease the development of foodborne pathogens, or losses by related bacteria. Initially, EW was used in ready-to-eat foods such as spinach, lettuce, strawberries, among others; however, its application in other products is under study. Every product has unique characteristics that require an optimized application of EW. Different sanitizers have been developed; unfortunately, they could have undesirable effects like deterioration of quality or alterations in sensory properties. Therefore, EW is gaining popularity in the food industry due to its characteristics: easy application and storage, no corrosion of work surfaces, absence of mucosal membrane irritation in workers handling food, and it is considered environmentally friendly. This review highlights the advantages of using EW in animal products like chicken, pork, beef, eggs and fish to preserve their safety and quality.

The undesired deposition of microorganisms and the formation of biofilms is called “biofouling”. The consequences of biofouling for water purification, transport and storage are considerable both economically and ecologically. Countermeasures against biofouling include three steps: i) detection, ii) sanitization and iii) prevention of biofouling. The detection has to refer to surfaces. Cell counts in water water samples do not reflect the location or the extent of biofilms. Biocides display only limited value in terms of removal of biofouling layers. First, biofilm organisms are protected against biocides and tolerate 10 to 1000-fold higher concentrations. Second, water systems usually cannot be kept sterile. Thus, dead biofilms provide nutrients and suitable surfaces for further growth of cells imported with the raw water. Cleaning of a system is an integral part of sanitization and even more important than disinfection. It has to be based on a designed strategy. Efficiency control is mandatory and has to occur on representative surfaces. The prevention of biofouling is frequently achieved by continuously dosage of biocides. However, this is only possible with suitable raw waters and many failures are reported. Chlorine is still the biocide most frequently used. Concerns about effectivity and environmental protection give rise to other strategies. “Good housekeeping” is recommended as a general countermeasure. It includes frequent cleaning, efficiency control, biofilm monitoring, limitation of nutrients, maintenance of high shear forces, and a cleaning-friendly design. “Biofouling” is operationally defined and refers to biofilm development which exceeds a given “threshold of interference”. Keeping biofilm development below that threshold offers a new strategy, which considers biofouling as a biofilm reactor in the wrong place. Nutrient limitation is an option to curb biofilm development in sensitive areas. If large colonization areas are offered elsewhere than in the system to be protected, biofilms will develop there, sequestering dissolved nutrients and turning them into immobilized biomass in a place where it can be handled more easily than, e.g., inside a heat exchanger or a membrane module. Combined with effective monitoring techniques, a biocide-free antifouling-strategy can be realized.

This paper characterises the directions of innovative activities undertaken by food industry enterprises concerning the manufacturing of food products. Based on the subject literature and secondary statistical data, the status of food industry innovativeness and areas of innovative activities related to implementation of technological and non-technological innovations are presented. The activities of enterprises focus on manufacturing new products in response to the ever-changing needs and expectations of consumers. In particular, the production of so-called functional food (which seeks to promote health, minimise the risk of specific diseases, improve psychophysical fitness, lose weight, etc.) is increasingly extensive. Manufacturers must also improve the technologies and techniques of product manufacturing, packaging and storage.

Anthocyanins are antioxidants used as natural colorants and are beneficial to human health. Anthocyanins contribute to reactive oxygen species detoxification and sustain plant growth and development under different environmental stresses. They are phenolic compounds that are broadly distributed in nature and are responsible for a wide range of attractive coloration in many plant organs. Anthocyanins are found in various parts of plants such as flowers, leaves, stems, shoots, and grains. Considering their nutritional and health attributes, anthocyanin-enriched rice or pigmented rice cultivars are a possible alternative to reduce malnutrition around the globe. Anthocyanin biosynthesis and storage in rice are complex processes in which several structural and regulatory genes are involved. In recent years, significant progress has been achieved in the molecular and genetic mechanism of anthocyanins, and their synthesis is of great interest to researchers and the scientific community. However, limited studies have reported anthocyanin synthesis, transportation, and environmental conditions that can hinder anthocyanin production in rice. Rice is a staple food around the globe, and further research on anthocyanin in rice warrants more attention. In this review, metabolic and pre-biotic activities, the underlying transportation, and storage mechanisms of anthocyanins in rice are discussed in detail. This review provides potential information for the food industry and clues for rice breeding and genetic engineering of rice.
