Abstract: A process for rendering films, film composites, and articles made therefrom less resistant to passage of water vapor by passing a filled precursor film or film composite through the nip of interdigitating grooved rollers. The films or film composites are generally formed using a precursor film of a film forming polyolefin or polyolefin blend, with a relatively high filler loading and optionally an elastomer. A process is disclosed for making diapers or other disposable items where a relatively high water vapor is coupled with a resistance to liquid strikethrough.

Abstract: A staged fortification system and a method of providing fortification on a staged basis to infants involves feeding an infant a Vitamin C fortified juice when the infant is from 3 to 6 months of age, feeding the infant a Vitamin C and iron fortified juice when the infant is from 6 to 9 months of age, feeding the infant a Vitamin C, iron and zinc fortified juice when the infant is from 9 to 12 months of age, and feeding the infant a Vitamin C, iron, zinc and calcium fortified juice when the infant is 1 year of age and older. The staged fortification system provides appropriate vitamins and minerals which are needed at particular stages in the development of an infant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a product and a process for producing a fruit juice and vegetable puree beverage. The process comprises comminuting cooked vegetables to allow their passage through an 80 mesh screen (U.S. Standard). The vegetable puree is then combined with fruit juice and/or fruit juice concentrate and water in proportions to yield a fruit juice/vegetable puree product having a vegetable solids content of from about 1% to about 4% by weight of the product. The resulting puree and fruit juice combination is then thoroughly mixed and homogenized.
