  • Publication number: 20160198742
    Abstract: Formulation choices and/or process parameters can be used to modify the texture of extrusion cooked food products. Interactions between formulation choices and process parameters may be used in concert to produce extrusion cooked food products of low density and low hardness. Low density and low harness may make the kibble texture easier or more pleasant to chew or swallow.

  • Patent number: 9072633
    Abstract: An outer cover for use with an absorbent article having a layer of nonwoven fibrous material and optionally including a polymeric layer laminated or printed onto the layer of nonwoven fibrous material. The outer cover includes at least one plastic component and at least one elastic component in the nonwoven fibrous material and/or optional polymeric layer. The outer cover can have different structural combinations of spunbond fibers, meltblown fibers, and/or nanofibers. The combination of plastic and elastic components results in an outer cover that has favorable mechanical, physical, and aesthetic properties. The outer cover can be rendered either uniaxially or biaxially stretchable via a mechanical activation process.
