Patent number: 6713106Abstract: A method of making a bacon product from a frozen bacon belly is disclosed. The method includes the steps of cutting the frozen bacon belly into slices of a predetermined shape, and coating the bacon slices with an aqueous brine solution to result in a brine solution uptake in each of the bacon slices of about 8 wt. % to about 15 wt. %. The bacon slices have a sodium nitrite content of about 18 ppm up to about 80 ppm. The method also includes the step of heating the brine-soaked bacon slices to form the bacon product. An aqueous brine solution includes a salt (e.g., sodium chloride), a low amount of sodium nitrite or sodium nitrate, and a phosphate. Optionally, the brine solution can include one or more materials selected from the group consisting of sugar, sodium ascorbate, and an agent for imparting a smoke flavor to the bacon product.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2000Date of Patent: March 30, 2004Assignee: Red Arrow Products Company LLCInventors: Gary L. Underwood, Jeffrey J. Rozum

Patent number: 6074679Abstract: Stabilized, dilutable liquid smoke compositions are disclosed. The stabilized liquid smoke compositions contain a liquid smoke composition, an inorganic salt, and, optionally, an inorganic mineral acid, preferably phosphoric acid, such that the weight ratio of organic compounds to inorganic compounds is sufficient to provide an initial % T at 590 nm of at least about 95.5%. The stabilized liquid smoke compositions are essentially free of dissolved tar, and, therefore, are water dilutable without forming a tar precipitate.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1998Date of Patent: June 13, 2000Assignee: Red Arrow Products Company LLCInventor: Gary L. Underwood

Patent number: 5397582Abstract: A method of producing a browning liquid product by pyrolyzing sugars and starches. The browning liquid imparts a brown, smoked color to a cooked foodstuff without imparting an undesirable strong smoked flavor to the foodstuff.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1993Date of Patent: March 14, 1995Assignee: Red Arrow Products Company Inc.Inventors: Gary L. Underwood, John A. Stradal

Patent number: 5393542Abstract: This invention provides a process for producing crystalline hydroxyacetaldehyde precipitated from a complex mixture of products provided by the pyrolysis of a carbohydrate-containing feedstock. The method includes distilling a first condensate under reduced pressure to give a second condensate which is enriched in hydroxyacetaldehyde; combining the second condensate with a solvent to give a homogeneous solution; precipitating hydroxyacetaldehyde from the solution; and separating the precipitated hydroxyacetaldehyde from the solution.Aqueous solutions of hydroxyacetaldehyde are useful for browning foodstuffs and for producing flavors by contacting the hydroxyacetaldehyde with ammonia or amines.In addition, hydroxyacetaldehyde may be used to make an artificial tanning product containing a suitable topical vehicle and an amount of hydroxyacetaldehyde suitable to impart a brown color to skin.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 1993Date of Patent: February 28, 1995Assignee: Red Arrow Products Company Inc.Inventors: John A. Stradal, Gary L. Underwood
