Mr Simpson,
Oregon State University has been involved in research whose mission is rapid heating of packaged foods and agricultural products. We have obtained two patents on the process and my colleagues continue to seek research funding and industry collaborators. I will copy the principal participants on this message; feel free to contact them further.

Thank you Pamela. I am looking to take this further down the chain into the
practical and commercial application set ups such as at TOPS and AKIYAMA.
The engineering involved and design of the machines and application in
production lines to assess how this could possibly fit into our production.
The website you mentioned does take this into consideration and is useful.
Kind regards / Adrian
