Abstract: A method for producing a high-protein coating composition for coating a food substrate including the steps of providing a soy protein mixture having at least about 40% by weight of a soy protein; adding water to said soy protein mixture to produce a mass; cooking said mass in an extruder at a temperature of between about 135° C. and about 145° C.; converting said cooked mass into particles; and drying said particles to form the high-protein coating composition. The high-protein coating composition has a fat absorbability and contains at least about 30 weight % of protein.

Abstract: A material handling system for placing and retrieving palletized loads in densely spaced storage areas utilizing an overhead bridge crane connected to a pallet load handling device by way of lifting cables and a stabilizing mast assembly. The pallet handling devices may include vertically or horizontally movable pallet engaging fork mechanisms mounted on a generally rectangular frame which is operable to be lowered over a pallet load and engaged therewith by way of the fork mechanisms. The pallet handling device frame may be split and interconnected by actuator mechanisms to facilitate ease of placing the handling devices over a pallet load and releasing the load from the handling device.
