Patent number: 9028894Abstract: Gum manufacturing machinery and method of manufacturing gum is illustrated in which a gum loafing machine generates loaves of finished gum that are then subsequently run through a gum conditioner to more uniformly set the temperature and viscosity of the gum material prior to further processing. Upon achieving the appropriate conditioning level, a further forming extruder may be used to generate a continuous gum ribbon for subsequent rolling and scoring operations. The gum conditioner may include vertically stacked conveyors that have different operational modes including a first mode that provides a serpentine path for a long residence time and a second mode that provides a cascading path that avoids or bypasses much of the length of some of the conveyors to provide a shorter residence time. The gum manufacturing machinery may be used in an adjustable manner so as to accommodate difference gum recipes for different batches of gum product.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2012Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Intercontinental Great Brands LLCInventors: Jim Olejarski, Joseph Roarty, Arthur W. Upmann, James A. Duggan

Publication number: 20150125402Abstract: Compounds are used in compositions as antimicrobial agents against microbes, such as for example, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, and Aspergillus brasiliensis. Antimicrobial action is obtained by contact of a microorganism with at least one of the compounds of the structure (I); wherein R is a branched or straight chain, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl group with zero or one double bond and a total of from 1 to 11 carbon atoms; R1 is —OH, =0 or —OC(0)CH3 and wherein the compounds of structure (I) contain a total of from 9 to 18 carbon atoms in the compounds.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2013Publication date: May 7, 2015Inventor: Robert H.
