Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for forming at least a portion of a beverage from a co-milled powdered composition. An amount of a co-milled powdered composition is combined with a fluid to produce at least a portion of a beverage. The co-milled powdered composition is obtained from co-milling together at least one powdered ingredient having a difficult to disperse or dissolve portion with one or more dispersion facilitator components to form a co-milled powder effective to enhance the dispersion or dissolving of the powder when forming a food or beverage.

Abstract: Methods and systems for continuously producing foaming compositions from powders, granules, and/or particulate are provided and/or powders, granules, and/or particulates that contains high pressure gas. The methods and systems are configured to reduce energy costs and overall processing time and, thus, provide advantages over the prior batch processes that have lengthy temperature ramp-up and cool-down times due to the shortcomings of using a large pressure vessel.

Abstract: A foaming composition is provided comprising a particulate ingredient having a plurality of internal voids containing entrapped supercritical fluid having a critical temperature of at least about 10° C. Additionally, a method is provided for preparing such a foaming composition. A supercritical fluid having a critical temperature of at least about 10° C. is contacted with a particulate ingredient having a glass transition temperature above ambient temperature at a temperature above the glass transition temperature of the particulate ingredient, wherein the particulate ingredient comprises a plurality of internal voids. The particulate ingredient is held at the temperature above the glass transition temperature of the particulate ingredient for a period of time effective to allow transfer of the supercritical fluid into the plurality of internal voids of the particulate ingredient.

Abstract: A herbicidal solution contains from 30% by weight to saturation of a water soluble glyphosate salt and from 8 to 20% by weight of surfactant comprising from 10 to 100% by weight based on the total weight of surfactant of an amphoteric surfactant and from 0 to 90% by weight based on the total weight of surfactant of ether carobxylate, said solution containing less than 0.035% by weight of sodium ion. A pre-blended surfactant concentrate contains from 10 to 70% by weight ether carboxylate, from 20 to 80% by weight of low salt amphoteric surfactant and from 10 to 50% by weight of solvent.

Abstract: Amido alkyl amine oxides, optionally blended with ether carboxylates, amphoteric surfactants, chelants, solvents, hydrotropes and/or wetting agents are used to prepare glyphosate solution concentrates.
