Abstract: Frozen pizza product with special baked pastry shell is produced from a dough comprising a specified mixture of high protein and low protein wheat flours, and containing between 10 and 17% by weight of solid fat pieces, preferably flakes, of specified dimensions, wherein the fat pieces have a melting point in the range 118.degree.-128.degree. F. by the Wiley method, and wherein the mixing takes place so that the solid fat pieces remain as such as the dough goes into the oven for baking.After topping with pizza sauce and freezing, the resulting crust is tender in the inside and crisp on the bottom, after final rebaking by the consumer, even after freeze-thaw cycles which sometimes occur during shipping and storage.
Abstract: A method and composition for forming a dry free-flowing particulate solid is disclosed which utilizes a novel binder system for bonding particles of carbon, sand and/or other solid particulate materials. The solid, non-sticky binder system comprises furfural, solid resin, (such as a phenolic resin), which is not sticky at room temperature and is soluble in furfural, and a liquid amine having free hydrogens on the amine nitrogen which amine is capable of reacting with furfural. This system is capable of adhering to such particles while retaining the free-flowing characteristics of the particles. The free-flowing particulate solid thus formed may be shaped, extruded or compression molded as necessary to form the desired article. A shaped mass of this particulate material is converted to an integral mass by warming or compressing. While the binder is curable at room temperature over a long period of time, the cure rate may be accelerated by increases in temperature.

Abstract: A food product is prepared having a red-meaty color imparted thereto by the incorporation of an effective amount of pigments produced by the growth of the mold of the genus Monascus on an oat substrate.
Abstract: A food product is prepared having a red-meaty color imparted thereto by the incorporation of an effective amount of pigments produced by the growth of the mold of the genus Monascus on both wheat substrates and barley substrates.
Abstract: A flexible, distensible mold for use in fabricating art forms and utilitarian articles, and for use with the aid of air pressure differential enlargement of the shaping cavity, is provided with closeable slits extending from at least a portion of the shaping cavity partly into the mold wall, and cooperating slits extending from the outer wall of the mold into a position which is adjacent to and overlapping the internal slits. With these improved molds a withdrawal bore of the shaping cavity can be greatly enlarged and the side walls can be greatly extended with lower air pressure differentials than would be otherwise necessary. This invention provides a hinging action in the expansion of the side wall which utilizes the flexibility of the mold material to expand the withdrawal bore.
