Abstract: There is provided a composition comprising (a) a food ingredient, the hydration of which is to be enhanced; (b) a water soluble particulate material, having an average particle size of from 10 to 1000 ?m; wherein the food ingredient and the water soluble particulate material are integrated with each other.

Abstract: The present invention relates to aerated food products and a method for their preparation. In particular, the present invention relates to improved aerated confectionery such as marshmallows and marbits and methods of their preparation.

Abstract: A method is provided for determining the temperature of the delivery fluid of a centrifugal pump driven by a permanent magnet motor, whose rotor runs within a fluid-filled can. The rotor temperature is evaluated by way of electrical variables of the motor, and the temperature of the delivery fluid is determined by way of the rotor. This method permits sensor-free temperature measurement of the delivery fluid with a circulation pump which is driven by a permanent magnet synchronous motor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a two-phase permanent magnet motor which is controlled by a frequency converter. The frequency converter is advantageously provided with a three-phase inverter having six switches that are controlled in such a manner as to minimize switching losses.

Abstract: Fish processing machines and methods for realigning fish during processing are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a fish processing machine in accordance with the invention includes a fish processing unit for use with a processing machine having a fillet assembly and/or a skinner assembly. The processing unit includes an inspection assembly with a conveyor system operably coupled to the fillet assembly and/or skinner assembly and an alignment device operably coupled to the conveyor system. The conveyor system extends along a processing path to transport a fillet of fish that has been sliced from a trunk of the fish. The alignment device is positioned to automatically realign the fillet with respect to the processing path without manually manipulating the fillet before the fillet is transferred from the conveyor system to an inspection table.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for processing meat from waste body parts of fish. In one embodiment, a fish processing machine includes a primary processing line and a reclamation processing line. The primary processing line can include a first conveyor system to transport a fish trunk along a primary processing path, a first cutter at a first location along the primary processing path configured to separate a waste body part from the fish trunk, and a second cutter at a second location along the primary processing path downstream from the first cutter. The second cutter has at least one knife arranged to slice high-value meat from the trunk. The reclamation processing line is coupled to the primary processing line. The reclamation processing line can include a recovery cutter to separate an additional meat portion from the waste body part and a transfer mechanism to automatically transport the waste body part to the recovery cutter without manually manipulating the body part.
