  • Publication number: 20110105433
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the prevention/and or stopping of the generation of off-flavours in food products. In particular is the present invention directed to the formulation of lipid raw material mixes and food products containing long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, and to compositions and processes for stabilizing such products against the formation of off-flavours, such as fishy off-odours. One embodiment of the present invention is a composition comprising an LC-PUFA containing oil and lecithin, wherein weight ratio of lecithin to LC-PUFA is at least about 25:75.

  • Patent number: 4506126
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a glazing panel comprising sheets which are joined together along the margin of the panel using heat-activatable bonding medium (e.g. solder) which is electrically conductive and/or in contact with electrically conductive material and which is activated in situ by induction heating, the induction heating is performed using an inductor 65 powered by an aperiodic generator 57 whose power output setting is determined in dependence on the instantaneous resonant frequency of the inductor circuit as influenced by the load.

  • Patent number: 4506125
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a polygonal glazing panel comprising sheets 61, 62 which are joined together along the margin of the panel using heat-activatable bonding medium 66,67 which is electrically conductive and/or in contact with electrically conductive material 63 comprised within the panel and which is activated in situ by induction heating is characterized in that for the induction heating use is made of a polygonal inductor loop each of whose sides 50, 51, 52, 53 and 68 comprises a conductor or conductors of tubular bar or of rod form, the loop being spaced from the work 61 to 67 and so disposed in relation to the margin of the work that the bonding medium 66, 67 is heated simultaneously at all positions along the joint or joints to be formed.
