  • Alkali metal bisulfates as acidulants in food
    Patent number: 6620445
    Abstract: A method for providing an acidulant effect in a food. A food is prepared including alkali metal bisulfate in an amount effective to act as an acidulant. Moisture is added in an amount effective to dissolve the alkali metal bisulfate. In a preferred embodiment, a leavened baked good is prepared including a baking carbonate, and alkali metal bisulfate in an amount effective to react with the baking carbonate to release carbon dioxide to leaven the baked good. A food composition includes alkali metal bisulfate in an amount effective to act as an acidulant in the food, and moisture in an amount effective to dissolve the alkali metal bisulfate.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Jones-Hamilton Co.
    Inventor: Carl Joseph Knueven
  • Alkali metal bisulfates as acidulants in leavened baked goods
    Patent number: 6132792
    Abstract: The invention relates to a leavened baked good including alkali metal bisulfate and a substance capable of releasing gas upon reaction with the alkali metal bisulfate to leaven the baked good.
    Type: Grant

  • Sodium bisulfate as acidulant in foods
    Patent number: 5958491
    Abstract: A composition for providing an acidulant effect in a food. A food is prepared including sodium bisulfate in an amount effective to act as an acidulant. Moisture is added in an amount effective to dissolve the sodium bisulfate. In a preferred embodiment, a leavened baked good is prepared including a baking carbonate, and sodium bisulfate in an amount effective to react with the baking carbonate to release carbon dioxide to leaven the baked good. A food composition including sodium bisulfate in an amount effective to act as an acidulant in the food, and moisture in an amount effective to dissolve the sodium bisulfate.

  • Method for preserving animal feed with sodium bisulfate and composition thereof
    Patent number: 5773063
    Abstract: A method for preserving animal feed involves treating the animal feed with an inorganic acid having a pK.sub.a from 1.0 to 5.0 to reduce the pH of the animal feed to less than 4.5. Sodium bisulfate is a preferred inorganic acid. Preferably, the acid is substantially completely dissolved and is substantially uniformly distributed throughout the animal feed. In a preferred method, the animal feed is treated by mixing the animal feed with a dry acid and applying steam to the mixture. An animal feed composition contains a feed grain and an inorganic acid having a pK.sub.a from 1.0 to 5.0, where the acid is present in an amount sufficient to reduce the pH of the animal feed to less than 4.5.
