Abstract: Process for refining a triglyceride oil comprising stripping a triglyceride oil with an inert gas, characterized in that the refining process further comprises the preceding exposure of the triglyceride oil to an aqueous solution of ascorbic acid. Hydroperoxides are destroyed at a temperature <120.degree. C. and within one hour.

Abstract: A process for preparing a savory flavor, the process comprising reacting a compound of general formula X with hydrogen sulphide and/or cystein, wherein ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents an alkyl group having 1 or 2 carbon atoms or hydrogen, R.sup.2 represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or hydrogen, R.sup.3 represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms or hydrogen and R.sup.4 represents hydrogen or an organic radical consisting of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, hydrogen and from 0 to 2 oxygen atoms. X is preferably 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-2-(2-hydroxy-3-oxo-2-butyl)-3(2H)-furanone, and is formed from the reaction of 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone and diacetyl. 2,5-dimethyl-4-mercapto-3(2H)-furanone is a flavor compound obtainable by this process.

Abstract: A tamper evident container with a dispensing closure is disclosed. The patent deals with a container having a smooth neck portion and having a removable dispenser closure mounted on the neck portion. The closure, in turn, is formed with a top, a skirt depending from the top and a dispensing lid mounted on the top. The top has a dispensing orfice in it which communicates with the interior of the container. The lid is moveable from a position closing the dispensing orifice to a position opening the dispenser orifice. A tamper evident neck wrap is mounted on the container over the skirt and the lid which prevents the dispensing lid from being moved to an open position without tearing or breaking the neck wrap to show the container has opened.
