<p>A method and apparatus for cooling sliced bread before wrapping. First, t he bread product is sliced into at least two slices, each corresponding pair of slices having opposed slice surfaces. Next, at least one portion of the surfaces are separated away from the corresponding opposed slice surface. Finally, at least one of said slice surfaces is cooled. The cooling may occur by expelling cooling fluids proximate said at least one portion of said slice surface. The cooling fluid may be compressed air. The compressed air may be filtered and/or sterilized (e.g. by means of a sterilization agent). Optionally, the slices are completely separated from one another.</p> |
