摘要:
An edible, manipulable carrier for delivering a predetermined amount of a flavoring agent to a food product, and a process for making the carrier. The flavoring agent is preferably substantially intermixed within the carrier, which rapidly melts upon contact with a heated food product.

摘要:
An apparatus and method for shredding a block of material, the apparatus includes at least one cutting blade. A drive unit rotates the cutting blade about an axis, and a feed unit moves the block of material toward the cutting blade. The axis about which the cutting blade is rotated is generally perpendicular to the direction in which the block of material is being fed. In one embodiment, the block of material comprises a plurality of ribbons, the ribbons being stacked atop each other. In one preferred embodiment, the cutting blade comprises a serrated edge, and the distance between the teeth in the serrated edge is less than the thickness of each ribbon.
摘要:
A lightweight, easily adjustable, open-cavitied casting apparatus employing an adjustable-height blade for forming a food product into a sheet. The food product may be deposited on a moving support surface such as a casting belt or chill roll, on the upstream side of the casting apparatus.
摘要:
A process for an efficient production of cheese or cheese base containing substantially all the casein and whey proteins which were originally present in the milk comprising four phases: (1) selective concentration of milk to form a concentrate; (2) increasing the ionic strength of the concentrate so as to maintain it in the liquid phase during fermenting; (3) fermenting the concentrate; and (4) removing water from the fermented concentrate to produce cheese or cheese base containing substantially all the casein and whey proteins originally present in the milk. The concentrates and fermented concentrates are unique intermediate products in that they do not coagulate during processing even at low pH's. The process permits an efficient evaporation of water from the fermented concentrate that is maintained in the liquid state. The process also avoids the possibility of losing whey proteins by totally eliminating syneresis.

摘要:
A method and apparatus shapes a body of cheese (2) into curved bodies of cheese (42). A preferred dual-wire-cutting machine (1) implementing this method generally includes a conveyor assembly (9); a set of mechanical arms (12); two vertically strung harp wires (14); each of which is connected to a mechanical arm (12); and a drive assembly (15). The conveyor assembly (9) moves an elongated body of cheese (2) through the dual-wire cutting machine (1) in a horizontal direction. During movement of the body of cheese (2), the drive assembly (15) moves each mechanical arm (12) in synchronization with the conveyor assembly (9). Due to the harp wire (14) attached to each mechanical arm (12), the movement of each mechanical arm (12) creates a cut in the elongated body of cheese (2), which forms curved bodies of cheese (42) within the elongated body of cheese (2). Preferably the body of cheese (2) is made of stacked layers of cheese, which may or may not have the layers offset from one another. The preferred method thus produces stacks of curved slices of cheese, which may or may not have slices offset from one another.
