Patents by Inventor Carlos Andres Alvarez

Carlos Andres Alvarez has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10856556
    Abstract: The Resent invention includes a oil composition that contains a fat base and an uptake reducer. The oil composition is usable in both skillet frying and deep frying processes, and reduces the uptake of oil by fried food products without affecting the its sensory profile.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 31, 2012
    Date of Patent: December 8, 2020
    Assignee: Team Food Colombia S.A.
    Inventors: Carlos Andres Alvarez, Aron Ortiz
  • Patent number: 10548334
    Abstract: A trans-fat free cocoa butter substitute and its production process which has a lower quantity of saturated fatty acids than cocoa butter, common cocoa butter substitutes, and lauric fats, for coating and molding applications in chocolate products with adequate texture, gloss, and melting profile characteristics, and a good speed of crystallization during a cooling process without tempering.

  • Patent number: 9707159
    Abstract: Three adhesives formulated with Trimethylolpropane Trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) that do not contain BisGMA were developed, whereby the mutagenic and teratogenic risk by the release of bisphenol A is eliminated, and presented a better performance compared to the three commercial adhesives prepared with BisGMA (Adhesive A, Adhesive C and Adhesive B). The invention provides an adhesive used in one-step and provides a system which is formed by a primer and a slurry. The adhesives of the invention were compared with two commercial controls. They were physically characterized by assessing: hardening time, adhesion stress, elastic modulus, sorption and solubility at different pHs (6.8 and 7.7); by the obtained values premature detachments, white lesions below the appliance and microfiltration are avoided; its fluidity, film thickness were evaluated and were compared with those obtained from the three commercial adhesives. Storage stability and thermogravimetric analysis were assessed.
