  • Patent number: 4559236
    Abstract: This invention relates to imparting structural integrity and texture to fabricated meat products, particularly simulated crustacean and shellfish meat. Deboned meat, fish or poultry is ground with additives such as salt and suitable flavoring materials; the exposed surface area of the mass of meat paste is then enlarged, treated with acid, formed into a desired shape, and heated to set. The particular food products of the invention provide for utilization of deboned meat which has good nutritional properties but which lacks sufficient structural integrity and texture to function as a satisfactory food product.

  • Patent number: 4493594
    Abstract: A milling cutter for clamped cutting inserts (12) which are held in position by means of a clamping means (14), which rests against the cutting insert (12) at a first contact surface (17) and against the cutter body (10) at a second contact surface (24). In order to obtain a large chip pocket by means of a clamping means (14) having short radial extent the clamping means is designed such that the distance between the first contact surface (17) and a supporting surface (21) for supporting the cutting insert is larger than the distance between the supporting surface (21) and the second contact surface (24).

  • Patent number: 4478541
    Abstract: An arrangement for quick-mounting and--dismounting of a cutting tool 10. A projection 21 on the machine spindle is fitted into a spacing 33 in a nut element 30 in the cutting tool and by rotation of the nut element 30 axially outwards the projection 21 is forced against an inner wall 39 of the spacing 33, whereby forcing the cutting tool 10 against the machine spindle.

  • Patent number: 4418144
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for producing .gamma.-cyclodextrin without using any organic solvents i.e. by non-solvent process and more particularly, to processes for producing .gamma.-cyclodextrin, which comprise: (1) passing a sugar solution containing cyclodextrins and reducing sugars as primary ingredients through a column packed with alkali or alkali earth metal salts of strongly acidic cation exchange resin to separate cyclodextrins fraction from reducing sugars fraction and then, passing the cyclodextrins fraction through a column packed with gel resin particles to separate and collect .gamma.-cyclodextrin and, (2) bringing the sugar solution into contact with a hydrophobic, synthetic adsorption resin comprising a porous polymer to adsorb only .gamma.-cyclodextrin or .gamma.- and .beta.-cyclodextrins and then, eluting the adsorbed cyclodextrin(s) with water to separate and collect .gamma.-cyclodextrin.

  • Patent number: 4131528
    Abstract: The invention provides a process for the mass production of ozone in a liquid form from liquid oxygen, by the utilization of ozonizing radiations or electric discharge occurring in the oxygen gasified by being warmed to a temperature not higher than the boiling point of ozone.
