US Patent:

41073436, Aug 15, 1978

Filed:

Nov 23, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/854088

Inventors:

Anthony V. Petricca - Cleveland OH

Assignee:

SCM Corporation - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

A23G 300

US Classification:

426564

Abstract:

A pourable, whippable, edible emulsion, containing about 45 to 60% water, 20 to 30% fat, 7 to 20% sweetener, 0. 5 to 2. 5% dispersible protein, 0. 1 to 0. 75% thickener, 0. 1 to 1. 0% buffer and 0. 75 to 2. 5% emulsifier, where the emulsifier has a major proportion of propylene glycol monostearate or hexaglycerol distearate in the range from 0. 5 to 1. 5% and a minor proportion of a combination of ethoxylated sorbitan ester in the range from 0. 3 to 0. 6%, sorbitan monostearate in the range from 0. 05 to 0. 25% and lecithin in the range from 0 to 0. 15%, is stable against separation and/or gelation for at least one year at room temperature under aseptic conditions and whippable to at least 200% overrun from about 40. degree. to 100. degree. F.

International Classification:

A23L 131

US Classification:

426646

Abstract:

The present invention resides broadly in a method for applying water soluble coatings to highly water soluble core particles selected from the group consisting of sugar, salt, yeast, and solid acidulants, comprising the steps of selecting core particles of fine particle size such that a preponderance of the particles pass through a 16 mesh screen, U. S. Standard Sieve; forming a fluid bed of said core particles; spraying into said bed in the form of a fine mist a water soluble coating composition comprising water and a water soluble coating material selected from the group consisting of a film-forming, edible, bland, hydrolyzed starch and a protein, said coating material having a water solubility sufficient to produce a pumpable solution at about 20-40% solids concentration, based on solution weight; continuing said spraying for a time sufficient to obtain a coating build-up on said core particles of at least about 10-50% based on coated particle weight; said coated particles having substantially the same particle size as the core particles. The coated acid particles are added to a meat emulsion in preparation of acidulated meat emulsions.

Assignee:

SCM Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

B05D 122

US Classification:

427213

Abstract:

A process for encapsulating materials which are difficult to fluidize in a fluidized bed reactor comprising the steps of (1) compacting said materials into a plurality of flat chips; (2) grinding said chips into particles having a small particle size; (3) forming a fluid bed of the particles of step (2) in a fluid bed spray reactor; (4) applying a spray of a melted or molten hydrogenated liquid or wax to the surface of said particles in said reactor, encapsulating said particles; withdrawing said encapsulating material from said reactor.
