Abstract: A process for metering the disposition of a food product into cavities forming a pellet. The cavities are defined in one of a conveyor as individual cavities and in a tray moved by the conveyor. Each cavity defines a specific volume. The process includes supplying a quantity of food product in a supply chamber which includes a plurality of nozzles aligned above the conveyor. The nozzles are aligned with a predetermined portion of the cavities. A predefined supply of food product is dispensed and metered through each nozzle. The food product is dispenses through the nozzles into the cavities without exceeding the specific volume of the cavity. The food product is frozen into an individual quick frozen pellet starting immediately upon disposition in one of the cavities. The step of metering the predefined amount of food product includes metering a predetermined weight of the food product.

Abstract: The invention concerns a co-processed additive for a solid-dose pharmaceutical composition, the additive comprising from about 50% to 99.5% by weight of at least one pharmaceutical compression aid and from about 0.5% to 50% by weight of at least one pharmaceutical lubricant, the melting point of said compression aid(s) being higher than the melting point of said lubricant(s). The co-processed additive may be in the form of a physically bound composite whereby the lubricant is associated with the surface of the compression aid particles.

Abstract: A system and method for producing clarified citrus juice concentrates from various natural components of the respective fruit. Citrus peels and/or flesh segments are enzymatically digested to improve yield and facilitate clarification and concentration. The resulting juice concentrates contain no additives or preservatives. Said concentrates have no FDA Standards of Identity, and can be used in percentage juice calculations.
