Patent number: 11219233Abstract: A method of making a food flavoring product is described including adding a plant material to a water-oil carrier, forming a homogenous mixture of said plant material and water-oil carrier, placing the homogeneous mixture into a package, and subjecting the package to freeze-thaw cycling to separate the water and oil carriers containing said plant material into separate components. This results in a composition separated into individual water and oil components with enhanced color and flavor characteristics when dispensed from the package.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2018Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: MCCORMICK & COMPANY, INCORPORATEDInventors: Yurely Jimenez Angulo, Andrew Jesse Cartwright, Debra Joy Adele Clement

Publication number: 20210235639Abstract: A black pepper trellis system. A method of growing black pepper plants is described including constructing a continuous trellis system including vertical and horizontal vine support lines, where the vertical lines are up to 5 meters high and are up to 50 centimeters apart, covering up to 20 acres of soil or more, and growing pepper vines up and across the vertical and horizontal lines, resulting in a dense hedgerow of pepper plants and enhanced black pepper yield per acre. The trellis system and black pepper per acre produced by the above system processes is also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2018Publication date: August 5, 2021Applicant: McCormick & Company, IncorporatedInventors: Andrew Gordon WATSON, Chee Choong PHANG

Patent number: 11026446Abstract: High Integrity Encapsulation Product with Insoluble Fibers. A particulate extrusion encapsulation product in a glassy state is described including an encapsulate, encapsulated in a glassy matrix. The glassy matrix includes at least one modified starch, at least one carbohydrate and at least one insoluble fiber. The load of the encapsulate is typically from 0.01% to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the encapsulation product. A method of making the particulate extrusion encapsulation product and food products containing the extrusion encapsulation product are also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2016Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: MCCORMICK & COMPANY, INCORPORATEDInventors: Dmitriy Zasypkin, Shriram Paranjpe, Michael Reick, Chungsea Shen

Patent number: 10852172Abstract: Doser for a container containing a substance. The doser includes a dosing member configured to be located at least partially inside a dispensing end of a container. The dosing member includes at least a bottom wall, a retaining wall and a retaining space of predetermined volume configured to retain a dispensable amount of said substance. When the doser is arranged on a container and the container dispenses the dispensable amount of the substance, the dosing member substantially prevents the substance contained in the container from either passing into the retaining space or being dispensed with the dispensable amount.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2017Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: MCCORMICK & COMPANY, INCORPORATEDInventors: Thomas Koll Porter Gieske, Tracie L.
