Abstract: An article having as a component a section of nonwoven web formed predominately of polymeric fibers is disclosed. The section of nonwoven web may have a pattern of consolidating bonds impressed on the surface. The bonds may have at least one bond shape; and the bond shape may have a greatest measurable length and greatest measurable width. The shape may have a convex portion and an aspect ratio of length/width of at least 2.0. Other features may be imparted relating to the density, orientations and overlap of rows relative the machine direction of the web. The bond shape reflects the shape of a corresponding bonding protrusion on a bonding roller. It is believed that the shape, density, orientation, and overlap of the rows of the bonding protrusions affect air flow through the bonding nip in a way that may be utilized to enhance loft of the resulting bonded nonwoven web.

Abstract: The present invention relates to beverage compositions containing calcium and Vitamin C, exhibiting reduced browning. The beverage compositions comprise:a) from about 50 ppm to about 2000 ppm ascorbic acid;b) from about 100 ppm to about 2,000 ppm erythorbic acid;c) From about 0.03% to about 0.19% calcium;d) a pH control system comprising an acidic buffering component, such that the pH of the composition is from about 3.1 to about 4.5;e) from 0% to about 60% of a flavoring system;f) an effective amount of a sweetening component; andg) water.

Abstract: An improved process to produce a novel tissue which becomes ply-separable during the papermaking process. In a first embodiment of the invention a two-layered stratified web is formed, having a first layer comprised of a relatively low consistency slurry of long papermaking fibers and a second layer comprised of a high consistency slurry of relatively short papermaking fibers. In a second embodiment of the invention, a stratified web having three layers is formed, comprised of well-bonded layers separated by an interior barrier layer. These improved tissue products need not be creped from a creping roll with a doctor blade in order to exhibit ply-separability, and they may be creped in a single step to form a finished product which is creped all the way through.
