Abstract

Abstract Apparatus for generating a reduced carcinogen content smoke aerosol for use in the smoking of food products. A housing having a smoke regeneration zone therein and a gas outlet for regenerated smoke is provided. The zone is heated and a system is included for introducing and dispersing a liquid smoke composition within the heated zone, the heat reducing the carcinogen content of the resulting smoke aerosol. The apparatus may further include a system for providing the lowered carcinogen content liquid smoke for use in regeneration by the apparatus above, which additional system includes a conventional smoke generator, a small cyclone capable of separating the particulate phase of the smoke from the vapor phase thereof and condensing apparatus.
