  • Dispersion analysis method and device
    Patent number: 8746047
    Abstract: Provided is a method for analyzing a dispersion made by dispersing a liquid or solid dispersoid into a liquid dispersion medium. The method includes the steps of: preparing a sample liquid from the dispersion by forming an agglomerate of the dispersoid in the dispersion medium; redispersing the dispersoid that forms the agglomerate in the sample liquid into the dispersion medium of the sample liquid; and measuring the amount of the dispersoid that has been redispersed from the agglomerate in the sample liquid.

  • GRANULATING METHOD AND GRANULATING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20130069270
    Abstract: A granulating method is a method in which powder containing a water-soluble component is granulated. In the disclosed granulating method, a dispersion element, wherein fine water droplets are dispersed in superheated steam, is expelled from a nozzle, and thus the dispersion element and powder in a flowing state come into contact with one another. It is preferable that the mass ratio of superheated steam contained in the dispersion element, as a mass ratio found from the theoretical flow amount of superheated steam expelled from the nozzle, and the actual flow amount of water supplied to the nozzle, be set in a range of 20-70 mass %.

  • Process for producing foods and drinks
    Publication number: 20030091713
    Abstract: A flavor material or flavor derived from a citrus fruit is itself deoxidized, or production thereof is conducted in a deoxidized atmosphere to inhibit oxidation thereof, and the resulting deoxidized flavor material or flavor is added to inhibit oxidation of foods, drinks, aromatic products and medicines, thereby the oxidation of these products is inhibited; namely an oxidation inhibitor and a browning inhibitor comprising the deoxidized flavor material or flavor as an effective ingredient can be provided.
