  • Publication number: 20200000121
    Abstract: Described in preferred embodiments are dairy gluten free no sugar added coconut milk frozen desert compositions including a unique coconut milk, which have organoleptic qualities comparable to high fat frozen desserts such as ice cream. The compositions are composed of organic coconut milk comprising organic coconut solids and water, a sweetening agent and vegetable glycerin. Also described are dairy gluten free no sugar added flavors and inclusion compositions and methods for their production and incorporation into the dairy gluten free no sugar added coconut milk frozen desserts. Also provided are methods of making the frozen desert products.

  • Publication number: 20090171011
    Abstract: Optical fiber coatings are disclosed having excellent ribbon stripping and adhesion behavior. The coatings are radiation-curable. The excellent stripping and adhesion behavior can be achieved by several means which include by use of additives, by use of radiation-curable oligomers having higher molecular weight, or by use of coatings having certain thermal properties. Combination of means can be employed. Stripping behavior can be measured by crack propagation and fiber friction measurements.
