  • Patent number: 4818557
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a meat replacement product to be used in mixed minced meat products, process for its preparation, and meat products comprising same, whereby the meat replacement product comprises the gluten protein and the bran fractions of whole cereal grain, preferably wheat. To the gluten-bran fraction a blood hemoglobin fraction can be added as well as a milk protein in the form of cheese fines. The meat replacer can replace up to 50% of the meat.

  • Patent number: 4475741
    Abstract: In the case of the adjustable upper link in a three-point suspension device for a tractor, comprising a locking device in the form of a line fitted with a shut-off device and connecting together the two end-faces of the hydraulic cylinder, the invention simplifies the operation of the device in that it may be adjusted effortlessly from the tractor-seat. This is achieved in that the shut-off device is in the form of a ball-valve having an axis secured to a forked actuating lever, and in that springs are provided to urge the said actuating lever towards the shut-off position. A scale provides the tractor-driver with an accurate indication of the setting of the link. The design of a tube accommodating one end of the piston-rod as a compressed-air chamber ensures automatic displacement of the piston in the hydraulic cylinder.

  • Patent number: 4377602
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of hydrolyzed products from whole grain, and such derived products. The invention solves the problem of obtaining a protein and sugar containing product able to be filtrated whereby this is achieved by treating whole grain, as wheat, maize, rye, barley, oat, and rice, with a proteolytic enzyme to transform waterinsoluble proteins into watersoluble products, and further to treat the starch contents with an amylase free from other carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes to form watersoluble starch products, as mono and disaccharides, removing the bran fraction and removing water to obtain a dry, semimoist, or liquid but concentrated derived product. The product is to be added as a sweetening agent in food products as bread, drinks, and cereal products, whereby the bran obtained can be used in bread as fiber additive.
