Daryl B. Winter - San Bruno CA
Jeffrey M. Root - Tacoma WA

Assignee:

Curtice-Burns, Inc. - Rochester NY

International Classification:

C07G 300
C07H 100
C07H 1306
C07H 1504

US Classification:

536 185

Abstract:

A method for producing alkyl glycoside polyesters comprising admixing a lower acyl ester alkyl glycoside, a fatty acid lower alkyl ester, and an alkaline metal catalyst to form a reaction mixture. Thereafter, the reaction mixture is heated to a reaction temperature and maintained at that temperature for a predetermined period of time. A low vacuum is drawn over the mixture. Yields of on the order of 95% to 99% can be achieved in accordance with this method. Novel fat substitute food compositions containing alkyl glycoside fatty acid polyesters are produced in accordance with this present invention. The alkyl moiety may be unsubstituted or substituted by from 1-3 free hydroxyl groups or fatty acid esterified hydroxyl groups.

International Classification:

A23D 500

US Classification:

426611

Abstract:

Low calorie foods are produced by substituting for the triglyceride fats normally found in foods or food products, a fat substitute comprising an alkyl glycoside fatty acid polyester, the polyester having at least 4 fatty acid ester groups, wherein each fatty acid has from 4 to 24 carbon atoms, and wherein the alkyl glycoside moiety comprises a saccharide portion and an alkyl portion, the alkyl portion having from 1 to 24 carbon atoms.

International Classification:

A23D 900

US Classification:

426611

Abstract:

A fat substitute food composition containing a polysaccharide fatty acid polyester in place of from about 0. 5% to about 95% of the total fat content of the food composition is disclosed. The polysaccharide is a polymer of at least three monosaccharides and has at least four fatty acid ester groups, each fatty acid portion having from 4 to 24 carbon atoms.

Appl. No.:

14/691210

Inventors:

Jeffrey Thomas Root - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

B65D 65/14
B65D 65/22

Abstract:

A wrapping material includes a sheet of flexible material. The sheet is foldable along a first line that defines a first portion of a first side of the sheet and a second portion of the first side of the sheet. The wrapping material further includes an adhesive deposited on the first portion and a release material deposited on the second portion. The strength of adhesion between the adhesive and the release material is less than a strength of adhesion between the adhesive and the flexible material. When the sheet is folded along the first line, the adhesive contacts the release material.
