Abstract: The present invention relates to an individually packaged cream-cheese laminate including first and second outer cream-cheese layers and a filling layer interposed between the first and the second outer cream-cheese layers.

Abstract: A process of producing a filled sheet of process cheese, in which process cheese and a filling are co-extruded into a packaging material to produce a strand having a thickness, the strand is separated at predetermined locations to produce separate sheets, in which the filling is fully enclosed. A machine for producing filled sheets of process cheese, having a co-extrusion nozzle with an outer port for extruding an outer component and an inner port for extruding an inner component fully enclosed by the outer component into packaging material to form a co-extruded strand. The machine may comprise a device for reducing the thickness of the co-extruded strand, such as two or more cooperating rollers, and a device for separating the co-extruded strand, such as two or more rollers having ridges. A sheet of process cheese filled with a filling fully enclosed by the process cheese and having a thickness of 6 mm or less is also disclosed.

Abstract: Compact graphical representations of common test fail signatures and process related test fails are provided through methods of selecting, calculating and/or presenting information. The input may be a list of failing tests on a sample of devices under test from chip and/or wafer process fails. The failing tests are identified and then other tests that fail at the same time may be identified. Several graphical outputs are provided, including all possible combinations between test fails and between test fails and process fails. The dependencies are printed as sorted two dimensional bitmaps that are compact representations of the results using color codes. Subtraction of two independent bitmaps is provided, which eliminates common properties and emphasizes differences between multiple bitmaps which allows for quick identification of differences of process fails potentially different between the two different bitmaps indicating potential root causes for the selected one of the test fails.

Abstract: The present invention relates to method of making processed cheese, especially mozzarella type cheese, comprising the steps of A) preparing a blend comprising young low-sodium-chloride cheese, hydrocolloids, and emulsifying salts, B) cooking the blend as obtained in step A to create a fibrous structure, and C) holding the fibrous structure as obtained in step B at an elevated temperature, wherein sodium chloride is added immediately before or during step C. According to another aspect, the instant invention relates to processed cheese obtainable by the above method, especially individually-wrapped cheese in slices.

Abstract: A wax-coated cheese comprising a cheese portion, a first inner wax layer covering the cheese portion, a second outer wax layer covering the first inner wax layer, a tear strip between the first inner and second outer wax layers covering selected parts of the first inner wax layer and comprising at least one portion which protrudes from the first inner and second outer wax layers and comprising an adhesive layer for adhering the tear strip to the first inner wax layer. Also disclosed is a corresponding packaging system and a packaging process.
