Abstract: An edible product including surimi, fish or fish portions, in various pasta-like shapes. The edible product has a high satiety index relative to unprocessed cooked fish and also provides a low glycemic index when compared to conventional pasta. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing the edible product in various pasta-like shapes. The product may include between 1%-25% protein, between 1%-20% fat, and a ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 of at least 5:1.

Abstract: The adhesion between a polymeric fluorocarbon film and a substrate is improved by providing a non-volatile carbide-forming metallic layer intermediate the substrate and the polymeric fluorocarbon film, and exposing the substrate to ion-bombardment in a noble gas/polymerizing gas atmosphere prior to providing the fluorocarbon films.
