Abstract: Method of continuously processing fish and apparatus thereof, by supplying dewatered fish flesh obtained by filleting it or dressing it and thereafter washing, dewatering into a kneader, kneading and incorporating with auxiliary ingredient mixture, which is continuously transported, measured, mixed, and supplied, in predetermined quantities to obtain surimi paste, packing and freezing the resultant surimi product for storage.

Abstract: An apparatus for continuously processing fish flesh comprising a first continuous force-out feeder in which dewatered fish flesh is continuously fed from the rear end thereof so that the fish flesh is further dewatered and thereafter continuously extruded in a pressurized state from the front end thereof; a continuous kneader connected to the front end of the first continuous force-out feeder, in which the dewatered fish flesh is kneaded and incorporated with a mixture of auxiliary ingredients such as sugar and sorbitol in predetermined quantities to obtain surimi paste and from which the surimi paste is continuously discharged; an auxilliary ingredient pressure adding device for adding the mixture to the continuous kneader; a second continuous force-out feeder connected to the kneader for continuously forcing out the continuously discharged surimi paste and thereafter extruding the surimi paste as a continuum from the front end thereof; a continuous packer for continuously packing surimi blocks after cutting

Abstract: A reaction vessel including a generally cylindrical center part and two plates or discs which are secured to and close the ends of the center part. The reactant is fed into the interior of the vessel where the polymerization or other chemical reaction takes place. A heat transfer or heat exchanger system is formed by a smooth liner that is mounted coaxially with and within the interior of the center part. The liner is spaced from the center part and it is secured to the center part by a plurality of support portions. The support portions serve both to brace the liner so that it can withstand the pressure of the reactant, and as partitions which form flow paths for a coolant, between the liner and the center part.

Abstract: Sodium percarbonate can be stabilized by treatment with an aqueous solution of an alkaline earth metal salt to form a thin layer of an alkaline earth metal carbonate on the surface. The resulting sodium percarbonate is improved its respect to the nonhygroscopic property, while maintaining the same solubility in water and effective oxygen content as initially.

Abstract: Heat-adhesive side-by-side type composite fibers consisting of a component composed mainly of a crystalline polypropylene and a component composed mainly of an olefin polymer, having few naturally developed crimps and few latent crimpability and superiority in undetachability of the composite components, are produced by using two composite components having a specified relationship of melt flow ratio and by stretching unstretched composite fibers at a specified temperature range.

Abstract: A porous non-woven fabric having a good dimensional stability and uniformity is prepared from a web obtained by arranging side-by-side composite fibers alone or a blend thereof with another fibrous material into a web and heat-treating the resulting web at a specified temperature, said composite fibers having few naturally developed crimps and being obtained by stretching unstretched side-by-side composite fibers consisting of a polypropylene component and an olefin polymer component having a specified melting point and a specified melt flow rate.
