Abstract: The present invention is a composition of matter comprising an edible, wholly or partially nondigestible low calorie fat material having a non-Newtonian pseudoplastic rheology at body temperature. In particular, at 100° F. (37.8° C.) the fat material has: (a) a viscosity of at least about 2.5 poise at a shear rate of 800 seconds−1, a viscosity of at least about 4.0 poise at a shear rate of 100 seconds−1and a viscosity of at least about 15.0 poise at a shear rate of 10 seconds−1; (b) a yield point of at least about 2,500 dynes/cm2; (c) a thixotropic area of at least about 0.20×106 dynes/cm2-sec.; and (d) a liquid/solid stability of at least about 50%.

Abstract: The present invention is a composition of matter comprising: (a) an edible, non-absorbable, non-digestible low calorie fat material having non-Newtonian pseudoplastic properties at body temperature; and (b) an edible, absorbable, digestible food material which acts as a solvent for the fat material. The rheological properties of the fat material are defined in terms of thixotropy, yield point, thixotropic area, and liquid/solid stability. The composition is useful as a fat substitute in low calorie food products. The composition provides a non-waxy taste in the mouth, and a laxative side effect is avoided.

Abstract: An automatic grease lubrication system is described for metering and dispensing lubrication grease onto rolling-sliding, line contact, bearing surface such as heavily loaded walking cams. The system includes an airless spray nozzle directed at the cam for spraying grease onto a portion of the cam surface in a desired spray pattern. A pneumatic driven pump conveys the grease to the spray nozzle at a high pressure of between 2000 and 3000 psi. The nozzle is activated in response to the rotation of the cam surface to spray the grease onto a selected portion of the cam surface.

Abstract: A density fractionation process for recovering vegetable seed protein granules from the remaining portion of the vegetable seeds, said seeds having a lipid concentration of from 10% to about 70%, using a ternary, single-phase solution of water, an electrolyte, and a carbohydrate, said solution having a density of from about 1.1 to about 1.5 g/ml and a water activity of less than about 0.90.

Abstract: A density fractionation process for recovering vegetable seed protein granules from the remaining portion of the vegetable seeds, said seeds having a lipid concentration of from 0% to 5%, using a ternary, single-phase solution of water, an electrolyte, and a carbohydrate, said solution having a density of from about 1.2 to about 1.5 g/ml and a water activity of less than about 0.85.

Abstract: Anti-anal leakage agents are used in combination with vitamin-fortified liquid fatty acid polyester compositions to provide pharmaceutical and food compositions for treating and/or preventing hypercholesterolemia while avoiding undesired anal leakage of the polyesters.
