Abstract: An EDTA-free mayonnaise having excellent oil oxidation stability can be prepared by incorporating an effective amount of reduced grape juice in combination with a source of acetic acid and egg protein. The invention relates to a method of preparing an EDTA-free mayonnaise, said method comprising incorporating into the mayonnaise reduced grape juice (such as Balsamic vinegar of Modena) in an amount providing 5-2,000 pg gallic acid equivalents per milliliter of aqueous phase; a source of acetic acid in an amount providing 0.2-15% acetic acid by weight of the continuous aqueous phase; and egg protein in an amount of 0.02-4% by weight of the mayonnaise.

Abstract: A process for producing powdered cocoa shells as a food ingredient, as replacer for cocoa powder, to impart coloration in food products, and as fat bloom inhibitor in cocoa-based products.

Abstract: A shrinkage control material for elastomeric molding. On a surface of a resilient metal wire, an adhesive layer of a halogenated polymer-based or olefin-based adhesive is disposed. An elastomeric molding includes the shrinkage control material and a elastomeric extrusion formed around the shrinkage control material to cover, the elastomeric extrusion being bonded by vulcanization to the shrinkage control material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an information carrying substrate capable of being applied to a surface for authenticating said surface, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a an information carrying substrate capable of being affixed to a document or a product for authenticating the document or the product and also relates to method for writing an authenticating information on said substrate and further provides a method for authenticating a surface using said substrate.

Abstract: A tissue paper used for heat sensitive stencil sheet to be used for a heat-sensitive stencil sheet comprising natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or their mixture, which being impregnated with an ionizing radiation curable type of resin, and a heat-sensitive stencil sheet having a thermoplastic resin film being bonded thereto, wherein, at surface of one side of the resin film, there is provided the tissue paper used for heat-sensitive stencil sheet, which is that being bonded the thermoplastic resin film by point-bonding with using an ionizing radiation-curable resin, and there is provided an anti-sticking layer on the other side of the thermoplastic resin film.

Abstract: A laminate for gum packaging is defined. The laminate includes a metal layer, a polymer layer, a paper layer, and an electron beam cured coating. The laminate provides as good or better barrier properties as a conventional laminate for gum packaging. However, the laminate has “reacted-in” slip agents in the electron beam cured coating, thereby avoiding the common problems of slip agent migration. Further, the laminate of the invention is more economical to produce than is the conventional laminate.

Abstract: There is proposed a transfer foil which makes it possible for decorative layer arrangements as are known from hot stamping foils to be transferred onto a substrate without a high level of material expenditure. For that purpose the carrier film of a hot stamping foil is fixedly joined by means of a permanent adhesive to the base foil.

Abstract: A receptor medium with an oriented film having at least one microfibrillated surface is described. The receptor medium can receive jettable materials, which include inks, adhesives, particulate dispersions, electrically, thermally or magnetically modifiable materials, biological fluids, chemical reagents and combinations thereof. The microfibrillated surface provides good ink receptive properties particularly for solvent based inks.

Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging material comprising in order a ultraviolet radiation cured environmental protection layer, a primer layer, a hydrophilic image layer, a base and an adhesive layer.

Abstract: An edge trim is coextruded on a polyolefin film layer. The edge trim protects the film from damage during a stretching operation, wherein clamps, clips or hooks of a tenter frame are attached to the edge regions of the film and the film is stretched in the transverse direction (TD).

Abstract: A support material for photographic and non-photographic imaging processes which includes a raw paper and a thermoplastic layer arranged on the front side, the thermoplastic layer features at least one polyolefin layer arranged on the raw paper, at least one polyethylene layer arranged over the polyolefin layer and at least one of these layers contains a polyethylene obtained by means of metallocene catalysts.

Abstract: A pigment preparation, containing a pigment and/or carbon black and a polymer and/or a surfactant selected from the group of cross-linked polyoxyethyleneacrylic acid, fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers, polyvinylpyrrolidone, alcohol alkoxylates, lignin sulfonates, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers, naphthalene sulfonic acid derivatives or mixtures thereof which is prepared from an aqueous dispersion by freeze-drying. The pigment preparation can be used for coloring purposes and/or to provide antistatic characteristics in water-based coloring and lacquer systems, disperse dyes, printing inks, inking systems and coating systems.

Abstract: A method of making a porcelain flower includes the steps of extending a wire through an apertured finding, twisting the free ends of the wire, forming an amount of porcelain compound into a flat sheet, cutting the shape of a flower petal out of the flat sheet, and wrapping the flower petal around the twisted wires.

Abstract: An ablatable laminar imaging medium useful in the manufacture of a substantially transparent electrode assembly is disclosed. The laminar imaging medium comprises a substrate, a high-index metal oxide layer, an ablatable metallic conductive layer, a high-index conductive metal oxide layer, and an ablation enhancement layer. The ablation enhancement layer has an IR-absorption greater than the IR-absorption of said high-index conductive metal oxide layer and an IR-reflectivity less than the IR-reflectivity of said high-index conductive metal oxide layer. Presence in the laminar imaging medium of the ablation enhancement layer lowers the exposure threshold of the medium and improves ablation accuracy, both—when occasioned in the manufacture of LCD electrode patterns—resulting collectively and ultimately in a more reliably formed electrical architecture, less susceptible to unwanted “shorting”.
