  • Process for preparing reduced calorie flavored confectionery compositions using dynamic tempering conditions
    Patent number: 5275835
    Abstract: An improved process is disclosed for preparing flavored confectionery compositions containing certain reduced calorie cocoa butter substitute fats. The improvement involves rapidly cooling such a composition from a non-crystalline state to a temperature of less than about 70.degree. F. (21.1.degree. C.) using a swept-wall, scraped-wall, or screw-type heat exchanger. The cooled composition is then conditioned for at least about 5 minutes by warming it to a temperature of about 70.degree. to 85.degree. F. (21.1.degree. to 29.4.degree. C.) in an agitated vessel before further processing into finished confectionery pieces. Under these dynamic tempering conditions, bloom-stable products can be produced much faster than with static tempering.

  • Procedure for the removal of catalytic residues based on AlCl.sub.3 and/or its complex compounds
    Patent number: 5270443
    Abstract: A selective procedure is described for the removal of catalytic residues based on AlCl.sub.3 or its complex compounds deriving from the (co) polymerization of olefinic and diolefinic cuts, allowing the production of almost colourless hydrocarbon resins. This procedure involves putting the polymerized mass in contact with organometallic compounds, treating the resulting mixture with water or aqueous solutions, either acidic or basic, and separating the organic phase, which at this point is without inorganic residues.
