摘要:
A potato cultivar designated W8 is disclosed. The invention relates to tubers of potato cultivar W8, to seeds of potato cultivar W8, to plants and plant parts of potato cultivar W8, to food products produced from potato cultivar W8, and to methods for producing a potato plant by crossing potato cultivar W8 with itself or with another potato variety. The invention also relates to methods for producing a transgenic potato plant and to the transgenic potato plants and parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to potato plants and plant parts derived from potato cultivar W8, to methods for producing other potato plants or plant parts derived from potato cultivar W8 and to the potato plants and their parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid potato tubers, seeds, plants and plant parts produced by crossing potato cultivar W8 with another potato cultivar.

The present invention provides methods for producing transgenic plants based on an optimized transfer of DNA from Agrobacterium to plant cells, and/or on an optimized integration of the transferred DNAs into plant cell genomes. It also provides Agrobacterium-transformation vectors that can be used to limit or eliminate the transfer of undesirable DNA. The present invention can be applied to essentially any species of plants, including many recalcitrant plant species.

An improved pancake die is provided for use in a pancake production system for producing pancakes having a highly uniform weight but exhibiting a substantially randorn peripheral shape reflective of a desirable home made appearance. The pancake die comprises a cavity of selected geometric shape formed in a reciprocal die plate adapted for movement between a first position underlying a batter reservoir for filling the die cavity with batter, and a second position underlying a discharge plunger for pushing the formed pancake from the die cavity onto a discharge conveyor for further processing. The die cavity is subdivided into an upper zone having the selected geometric shape, and an enlarged undercut lower zone separated therefrom by a substantially radially outwardly extending step. With this configuration, the periphery of each formed pancake distorts in a substantially randorn manner upon engagement by the discharge plunger, to provide a desirable homemade product appearance.

Improved batter coated French fried potato strips and a related preparation process are provided, wherein the potato strips are suitable for fast finish preparation in an oven and exhibit overall taste, appearance and textural characteristics closely emulating frozen parfried potato strips which have been finish prepared by frying. The preparation process comprises cutting and blanching fresh potato strips, and then coating the strips with an aqueous starch slurry. The batter coated potato strips are then subjected to a first parfry step after which the strips are promptly frozen. The once-parfried and frozen potato strips are next subjected to a second parfry step followed by freezing a second time and packaging for storage and/or shipment. The thus-prepared potato strips can be finish cooked in an oven for consumption, with a short preparation time and with quality characteristics similar to French fried potato strips which have been finish prepared by frying.
摘要:
A knife fixture (10) has a plurality of tensioned knife blades (16) for cutting food products. The fixture has a detector system for promptly indicating breakage of a knife blade. In one form of the invention, the detector system allows the blades to be mounted for passage of an electrical current, and for monitoring the current level for abrupt changes indicating blade breakage. In another form of the invention, the detector system includes at least one strain gauge (76) mounted on the fixture to measure the tension force applied to the blades and to permit monitoring of abrupt changes in tension indicating blade breakage.
