What’s next? le ultime tecnologie nella conservazione del cibo | Nicola Michelon | TEDxCortina


[Music]

have we ever wondered why there are any

fridge and a freezer in each of the

our homes to cool for

to preserve

have we ever wondered if these two

objects are the only ones suitable for

keep the food if it is the

more effective and efficient tools

to do it

we start from a fundamental premise la

life in our planet develops between

the 73 58 degrees centigrade and the same

happens in the bacteria inside the

our food

if the food remains inside this

band

bacteria wallow and make it in

health for our life

hence the experience has taught us to

keep food without using

chemical or natural additives such as

spices high out of this band

temperature

using the cold the icebox

first the fridge of the freezer then we take

the example of a lasagna we cook it

Sunday after cooking it

we put in the freezer and we keep it

in the freezer cool cold minus 18

degrees for a few days arrived the

Wednesday evening dinner time we extract

we put it in the oven from the freezer

we heat the temperature to which

usually we eat the hot food that is

plus or minus 65 degrees centigrade

so the freezer looks like an instrument

fundamental just maybe not

during a business trip in 2010

with one of my partner and colleague we left

observing what happens inside

of pastry laboratories around

the world the chocolate preserved in a

normal fridge does not last long

day before ruining before doing

that white patina that probably

we have all seen

using machines instead

special that not only check in

very accurate way the temperature but

they also control the humidity

chocolate is kept on

chocolate is preserved in a manner

excellent even for months we are there

then asked if it was possible in

similar way through a

precise temperature control e

of the atmosphere in which food remains if

it was possible to preserve cooked food

for a week at a temperature at

above 58 degrees Celsius

once you arrive at your destination there

we are convinced that all this was

feasible we gave away ten years of

studies with the university of parma for

transform our question into one

belief

today this conviction is called

storage at service temperature

and we have created a start up called

ex ever whose mission is that of

make this technology part

integral to our lives tomorrow

storage at service temperature

means to keep cooked food at one

temperature which is the same as the

which we consume it will allow us to

cook keeping food warm and

consume it without ever going by

cold temperatures and is and from

subsequent heating saving

so time and energy and it will allow us

to do it absolutely safely

because maybe we do not all know that in

a fridge the bacteria come a lot

slow down we say in inhibited but only

at high temperatures they are killed

if you think about it, it’s what we do from

decades through pasteurization

or through the ht treatment of the

we have applied this milk

very many CV technology with results

absolutely positive, except for very few

exceptions

we conserve meats, rice and legumes fish

all their products like braised soups

stewed I read some cases some cases

for days in other cases for weeks

with karakuri organoleptic results

excellent and always with the maximum

food safety without using

no additive that the future and the

applications that we imagine for this

technology

I think it will surely have happened to you

as it happened to arrive late

night in a restaurant in a

in a hotel and have to settle for

a couple of a little sleep pounds for

dinner

have you ever wondered why to keep

a 24-hour kitchen is a

cost that most of the

hotel facilities can not

to afford especially those more

small ones that already today

they are using conservation a

service temperature are able to

serve meals day and night without having

staff specialized in cooking there

therefore allows to order cooked food

in every moment of the day of the night e

in a future it will allow us to find

next to the bar fridge a hot bar from

which services directly in ours

rooms whenever we want it when

I go to the restaurant especially if it is

I do for work or with my little girls

I expect to be served the most

frantic rhythms as fast as possible

of modern life have imposed on

restaurateurs to change their menu

going to preparations a lot more

fast and abandoning sees the

tradition or alternatively cook with

advance is freezing again and then

heat up maybe when there is little time

in microwave with results not always

excellent restaurants that already today

they are using conservation a

service temperature are i see dt

they are instead able to serve

huge amounts of food

quickly even eliminating

completely all the waste due to

I can not use that today

that has been heated again

all that in conservation today

Tomorrow everything will be good again

they will not sell today tomorrow will still be

just as good for these first two

applications we have already created a

product is called and airplane are

using starred chefs to try

storage times never tried before

and to simplify the management of the

their kitchens are using chains

of catering to accelerate

very much the service time and then

increase their profitability and

expand the range of their offer

but let’s go back to the future that we imagine in

station at the airport surely you have

once at least in your life

purchased some 20 ‘s food

Typically, this is about food

cold pre-packaged snacks maybe

very good but definitely not

alternatives to a complete meal

when instead it also sells them but there

will be equipped with conservation a

service temperature will be possible

buy also on the move also in

a station even in an airport a

complete hot meal and consume it

quickly hot meal that we can

take with us to the office and have it there

ready at any moment

in a lunch break or in one

simple break technology requires

very little energy to work and

it will be enough to have a special

thermal bag a special container

powered by a very simple socket

also usb to always have the

our meal at all times when there

it will be possible to eat it hot meal

that we can buy directly at

supermarket next to the freezer counter

and fridge that today we find in all

supermarkets in the world there will be gods

freak the hot from which we can

buy cooked food and consume it

directly in the supermarket or take it

in our homes

within two hours of transport

even if you go down for a short time

below the temperature of 58 degrees not

there is a risk of proliferation

bacterial because substantially the

food has already been sterilized and in

in which the transport would last very little

more up to the 6 hour limit however the

subsequent stay in conservation

guarantees absolute sterilization

of food like bringing hot food

on the shelf of the supermarket one

first solution would be to

cook it directly in the kitchens of the

supermarkets what is found in those

bigger not alternative we are

already experimenting and that of cooking

food inside kitchens

professional or even

the food industry and transport it

then with hot containers or

even with truck trailers

equipped with conservation technologies a

service temperature

with huge energy benefits because

we can exploit the same energy and it

same heat produced by the tractor

instead of consuming further

produce further pollution for

keep at low temperature

the trailer of the truck alongside the

cold chain that we all know

which foods move to low

temperatures

in the future that we imagine there will be one

chain of the heat in which foods are

they will move held at high temperatures

the most challenging application for this

technology and for the heat chain

it will certainly be the distribution of

foods in the area affected by disasters

natural or from wars in case of

crisis becomes urgent to carry

raw material

kitchens and staff near the

crisis area to produce and distribute

meals

which often collides not only with the

diffuse logistical difficulties but also

with the difficulty of finding a number

sufficient professional volunteers

willing to leave for weeks

their families creating instead of

containers with console

storage at service temperature

it will be possible to keep the kitchens on

staff in the vicinity of their homes

and then carry hot food and have

on the spot only the staff said the

its distribution but the application of

far more ambitious is that from

which we started our homes on

our dream is that as well as fridge and

freezer formed and constitute of the

technologies we take for granted in the

our life today conservation a

service temperature is one

discounted technology in our life of

tomorrow will allow us to have in each

moment of day and night a

hot meal always ready for consumption

hot meal that we could buy in

a supermarket ordering a

restaurant make it take home with the

home delivery service or directly

cook it in our kitchens back

to the example of the lasagna we are from

parties will allow us to cook

these lasagna on Sunday afternoons

insert it into our hot department

fridge arrived Wednesday evening at

dinner time all that

we will have to do is take the lasagna

put it on the table and consume it together

to our families

this is temperature storage

of service

this ex ever this dream that there

we are committing to become

reality
