Abstract: Residual lipophilic reactants and by-products of surfactant manufacture (e.g. fatty alcohols, ethers, esters, etc.) may be adsorbed from surfactant compositions with a solid hydrophobic sorbent having pore sizes sufficiently small enough to effectively preclude molecular adsorption of the surfactant molecules therein. Surfactant compositions containing long-chain alkyl glucoside mixtures, as the major active surfactant component, may be refined to a form substantially free from lipophilic impurities by dispersing the surfactant composition into a suitable liquid carrier system and adsorbing the contaminants from the composition with the sorbent.

Abstract: An improved method is provided for extruding a starch containing gel confection such as jelly bean centers, imitation fruit slices, and the like. The confection is prepared from a mixture of (a) a starch having a cold-water-solubility of greater than 25 percent, hydratable and functioning as a gelling colloid and (b) saccharides. The starch is heated at a temperature below the boiling point of the mixture to fully gelatinize the starch, and the mixture is extruded to provide the gel confection.

Abstract: Vegetable protein extrudates substantially free from internal voids with a densely compacted stratum of laminae may be used to prepare imitation products which simulate the tender, succulent textural properties of freshly cooked natural products such as cooked mushrooms and shellfish products. The extrudates are prepared by the thermoplastic extrusion of proteinaceous feed material slurry containing more than 50% by weight water under conditions which prevent internal void formation and provide a highly laminated extrudate structure. The textural properties are imparted to the extrudate by retorting in the presence of pH 5.5-6.5 saline solutions.
