Abstract: Ready-to-drink, aspartame-sweetened beverages having longer shelf-life are prepared by raising the pH of the beverage to above 3.2 while maintaining a sour taste which is equivalent to a beverage having a pH of 2.9. The beverage of this invention are formulated with a citric acid to citrate buffer salt ratio (by weight) of 2.5-4.3:1.

Abstract: A chocolate yogurt containing active cultures and having a diminished acid taste compatible with chocolate and a new product form that enables the enjoyment of the product utilizing only normal channels of distribution are enabled by separately preparing and packaging a yogurt base portion and a chocolate flavoring portion. The yogurt base portion contains active cultures and has a pH of less than about 4.6. The chocolate flavoring portion containing cocoa, nonfat dry milk solids, and a buffering salt. The two portions are packed, preferably, in a two-piece composite package. The two packages are opened and the contents mixed just prior to consumption.

Abstract: Fruit-flavored, powdered gelatin dessert mixes are formulated to obtain a relatively high pH of at least 4.15, and a relatively low gelatin load weight while still retaining a desirable sour taste. The mix contains adipic acid and fumaric and/or citric acid at a weight ratio of 15-21:1. The mix also contains soluble sodium buffer salts and soluble citrate buffer salts at a weight ratio of 0.9-2:1.

Abstract: A closure for an opening in the surface of a drum or barrel, especially for a drum or barrel which has been reconditioned by heating so that the original gaskets have been burned out of the opening. The closure includes a cylindrical sleeve disposed in the opening and having a threaded inner surface. The threads of an externally threaded cylindrical cap engage the threads of the sleeve. The cap has an annular generally circular lip about its outer periphery and at its outer end, which lip extends perpendicularly to the sleeve adjacent the outer end of the sleeve so that the outer portion of the lip is parallel to the drum surface. A flexible resilient cylindrical gasket is coaxially mounted external to the sleeve so that the gasket lies between the lip and the drum surface. When the cap is screwed inwards into the sleeve, the lip compresses the gasket against the surface of the drum so that the gasket is squeezed and deforms, and thus so that the gasket forms a closure seal against fluid flow out of the drum.
