Abstract: Moisture is retained in cooked or thawed food by adding to the food an aqueous suspension of animal muscle protein obtained from animal muscle tissue. The aqueous suspension is obtained by mixing comminuted animal muscle tissue with a food grade base to form an aqueous basic solution of animal muscle protein. The basic solution is mixed with a food grade acid to precipitate the protein in an aqueous composition. The precipitated protein then is comminuted to form an aqueous suspension of comminuted animal muscle protein.

Abstract: A product for cooking a food in oil and/or fat is provided. An adjusted pH protein suspension is produced in an aqueous or dry form and includes myofibrillar proteins and sarcoplasmic proteins substantially free of myofibrils and sarcomeres. The amount of oil and/or fat absorbed by the food during cooking is substantially reduced while the food retains its color and taste.

Abstract: Flame retardant polymer compositions comprising certain polymers, a flame retardant material obtained by heating certain phosphonic acid salts at temperatures over 200° C. and certain clays or metal compounds such as select metal borates, oxides, hydroxides, oxide hydroxides etc., are readily processed at elevated temperatures and under high stress conditions whereas similar compositions without the clays or metal compounds of the invention are prone to decomposition. For example, polyamide compositions comprising the flame retardant material obtained by heating certain phosphonic acid salts at temperatures over 200° C., hydrotalcite clays, and/or borates, oxides, hydroxides, oxide hydroxides of zinc or calcium, are highly stable to thermal processing under strenuous conditions such as high temperature extrusion.

Abstract: A protein fraction and an oxidation stable fat fraction are recovered from meat trimmings. The trimmings are comminuted, mixed with a food grade acid at pH 3.6 to 4.4 to form a liquid protein fraction and a solid fat fraction. The liquid fraction is mixed with a food grade alkali to precipitate the protein . A myoglobin rich fraction is recovered from the protein fraction and mixed with the precipitated protein.

Abstract: A flame-retardant resin composition comprises a base resin (A), such as a polyamide resin, and an aromatic organophosphorus oligomer or polymer.

Abstract: A process for cooking a food in oil and/or fat is provided. A dry pea protein mixture or an aqueous pea protein is added to a food prior to cooking. The amount of oil and/or fat absorbed by the food during cooking is substantially reduced.

Abstract: Certain phosphonic acid salts heated at temperatures over 200° C. generate thermally stable, highly efficient flame retardant materials well suited for use as flame retardant additives in polymers. Various methods for preparing flame retardant materials from more than one phosphonic acid salts are provided, wherein each method can generate different flame retardant materials from the same mixture of starting phosphonic acids. The flame retardants of the invention can be used as the sole flame retardant in a composition or in combination with other flame retardants, synergists or adjuvants.
