  • Patent number: 3999421
    Abstract: A continuous, in-line bulk density instrument is described which provides real time monitoring of a product stream consisting of a free flowing powder. The instrument utilizes a cylindrical tube pendulum whose period of oscillation is measured to determine the bulk density of the powder flowing therethrough.

  • Patent number: 3993793
    Abstract: A stabilizer system has been developed that is particularly useful in ice cream requiring more than usual stabilization. The system comprises microcrystalline cellulose with one or more of carboxymethyl cellulose and a galactomannan gum. A preferred system consists of microcrystalline cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose and locust bean gum or tara gum.

  • Patent number: 3956519
    Abstract: Debranched amylopectin and debranched low-DE maltodextrin have been found to cause protein to aggregate in solution. Such aggregation, which can lead to precipitation or flocculation of the protein, is useful for instance in aerated aqueous fat emulsions, e.g. ice cream and whipped cream, where the stability of the product can be altered as desired.
