Abstract: Dental floss includes a coated fibrous substrate where the coating is metered to give a more consistent coat weight on the fibrous substrate. The dental floss is manufactured such that a metered amount of coating is placed on a fibrous substrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to non-segregating, non-agglomerated flavored coffee compositions. In particular, the present invention relates to novel flavored coffee compositions that minimize or inhibit the segregation and separation of constituent components, and the corresponding processes for making such compositions. The flavored coffee compositions herein are characterized as having a roast and ground, an instant coffee component, or mixtures thereof. The roast and ground coffee component will have a moisture level in the range of from about 1% to about 15%, a particle density in the range of from about 0.1 g/cc to about 0.45 g/cc, and a mean particle size distribution in the range of from about 400 microns to about 1300 microns. The instant coffee components used herein will have a particle density in the range of from about 0.1 g/cc to about 0.

Abstract: A method for altering a coffee source component profile of a coffee source to mimic a target coffee component profile of a target coffee, wherein the coffee source and the target coffee each comprise multiple taste contributing acids.

Abstract: A method for altering a coffee source component profile of an aged coffee source to mimic a target coffee component profile of a non-aged coffee source, wherein the aged coffee source and the non-aged coffee each comprise multiple taste contributing acids.

Abstract: The present invention relates to powdered and liquid, dairy and non-dairy creamer compositions. These creamer compositions can be prepared in both concentrated and ready-to-use forms. The powdered creamer compositions are well suited for use in instant and/or dry food and beverage compositions that require the addition of water or other suitable fluids prior to use. The present powdered and liquid creamer compositions are equally well suited for the preparation of ready-to-use formulations that can be added directly to food and beverage products. The creamer compositions of the present invention comprise a microparticulated ingredient component and a secondary ingredient component. The microparticulated ingredient component comprises a fat/oil component and a microparticulated protein component, and optionally a carbohydrate component. The secondary ingredient component of the creamer compositions of the present invention comprises an emulsifier and a bulking agent.
