US Patent:

6413571, Jul 2, 2002
Filed:

Oct 20, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/693562
Inventors:

Linsen Liu - Irvine CA
Assignee:

The Board of Regents for Oklahoma State University - Stillwater OK
International Classification:

A23D 9007
US Classification:

426611, 552544, 552547, 552554, 554174
Abstract:

Novel sterol/stanol esters of a conjugated fatty acid are provided through the esterification or transesterification of a sterol such as beta-sitosterol or a hydrogenated form thereof (stanol). Such novel esters exhibit the combined properties normally possess by the sterol/stanol compound and the conjugated fatty acid and as such are excellent additives for dietetic foods and supplements.

A23D009/013
US Classification:

426609, 426662, 426811, 554 80, 106 8, 106 9
Abstract:

A sprayable cookware release composition includes an oil, a propellant, and a cookware release agent having lecithin treated with an alkali and a fatty acid at the same time or treated with a mixture of an alkali and a fatty acid. A variety of alkali and fatty acids can be used to treat the lecithin, including more than one alkali and more than one fatty acid. Suitable alkali for treating the lecithin include sodium and potassium sorbate, sodium and potassium carbonate, sodium and potassium bicarbonate, sodium and potassium acetate, sodium and potassium hydroxide, and mixtures thereof. Suitable fatty acids for treating the lecithin include oleic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, and mixtures thereof. The cookware release agent and oil are mixed, and the mixture is dispensed from the aerosol container by the propellant. Suitable cookware release agents include lecithin and variants thereof, such as oil soluble lecithin, water-dispersible lecithin, hydroxylated lecithin, lyso-phopholipid, or a mixture thereof.

Filed:

Oct 23, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/278543
Inventors:

Linsen Liu - Irvine CA, US

Assignee:

ConAgra Grocery Products Company - Irvine CA
International Classification:

A23L 1/38
US Classification:

426633, 426519, 426601, 426639, 426650, 426658
Abstract:

Disclosed is an improved sweetened nut butter spread having a desirable flavor and smooth texture. The sweetened nut butter spread is prepared by grinding nuts and/or oil seeds in the presence of an edible oil to form a nut paste containing ground nuts and/or oil seeds and edible oil. A sweetening composition comprising sugar is added to the nut paste to form a sweetened nut paste, and the sweetened nut paste is comminuted to form a ground sweetened nut paste. A liquid flavoring agent, such as honey or molasses, is added to the ground sweetened nut paste to form a sweetened nut butter spread. Crunchy particles can be further added to make crunchy nut butter spread.
