  • Patent number: 6497914
    Abstract: There is provided a low oil cream composition which does not require a large amount of any particular emulsifying agent but has good physical properties after the whipping as well as good flavor and melting property in the mouth, even a low oily ingredient content such as not greater than 40%, and also provides is an oil-and-fat feedstock for production of the cream composition. The oil-and-fat feedstock for production of the cream composition is obtained by formulating not less than 30% of SUS-type triglycerides and 5 to 60% of a lauric-type oil-and-fat ingredient. A low-oil cream composition can be produced by the feedstock alone or, by further adding a cream containing milk fat to the cream. Then, it is possible to provide a low-oil cream composition having flavor and body comparable with fresh cream and to provide a process for production thereof.

  • Patent number: 6082883
    Abstract: A head lamp device has a connector guide which enables a feeder connector to be insertable into a bulb, only rotating the bulb to a fixed position specified. In this manner, a feeder connector is not insertable in a socket when the bulb is not in the fixed position so that even inexperienced operators can surely enforce the replacement of the bulb, therefore, a specified light distribution can be surely obtained.

  • Patent number: 5229156
    Abstract: A flavor oil comprising a fat or oil and an oil-soluble component derived from a sugar-heat treated dairy product powder which is obtained by subjecting a mixture of 1 to 20 parts by weight of a reducing sugar and 100 parts by weight of the dairy product powder to a heat treatment in the presence of 1 to 15% by weight of water is used as a flavor oil. The oil soluble component can be produced by dipping the above sugar-heat treated dairy product powder in a fat or oil, subjecting the resultant product to a heat treatment at a temperature of 90.degree. to 150.degree. C. under reduced pressure of not higher than 60 mmHg, and then removing solids.
