<p>A meat treating system, i.e. method and apparatus, for tenderization and/or killing microorganisms in and on the meat, includes an outer heavy-duty circular-cylindrical cylinder and a meat-holding inner container concentrically disposed within the outer cylinder with an annular space therebetween. The bottom of the cylinder is sealed so that a column of water can be supported in the annular space. Upon generation of an explosive discharge, a shock wave is created to effect tenderization and/or the killing of microorganisms. The explosive discharge, which can be created either by a chemical explosive or by a capacitor discharge, also serves to blow open the seal at the bottom of the cylinder permitting the column of water to escape.</p> |
