Abstract: A supply of cheese having residual whey thereon is rinsed with water containing a blandness imparting component selected from the group consisting of iron gluconate, copper gluconate and blends thereof.

Abstract: During blending of whey there is added a metal gluconate solution, to give the whey a bland odor and taste, as well as a colloid enhancer component to impart a colloidal type condition to the whey. Thereafter, a floc initiator may be added to separate the whey into a solids fraction floc and a liquid fraction. Also disclosed is a gelatin containing a bland and colloidal type whey, a gel inducer and a bland soy protein liquid.

Abstract: This invention provides an absorbent composition comprising a reactant product of (1) amines or amides; (2) carbon disulfide, or carbonyl sulfide; (3) polyvalent metal ions; and, (4) a water-dispersable reactive polymeric material. A water-soluble silicate may be present as an optional material during the reaction. The reaction is carried out in an alkaline water solution or dispersion, and the above noted absorbent composition then precipitates.The resulting absorbent composition may be used as an ion exchange medium; to form lakes by absorption of dyes soluble or dispersable in water or water-immiscible solvents; to absorb from water solutions or dispersions of toxic or otherwise objectionable materials such as chromates, lead or mercury salts, etc.

Abstract: This invention provides an improved pigment composition which blends readily with hydrophylic and oleophylic vehicles, and which can be manufactured with highly reproducible color value.A colorant, typically a dye or dye intermediate, is absorbed on an insoluble dithiocarbamate salt of a polyvalent metal. The dye-containing salts produced in this manner provide a pigment which is non-bleeding in hydrophylic or oleophylic vehicles. Aluminum and zirconium salts are the preferred salts, aluminum dithiocarbamate salts providing transparent pigments, and zirconium dithiocarbamate salts providing opaque pigments.Pigment materials of this invention can be produced by absorbing dye or dye intermediate on a dithiocarbamate metal salt in an aqueous suspension thereof. Azo dye intermediates can be diazotized and coupled in an aqueous suspension of dithiocarbamate metal salt, in accordance with this invention.
