摘要:
The invention relates to formulations for palatable foams with enhanced stability. In certain embodiments, the formulations include a base liquid (such as milk), a surfactant, a polysaccharide, and a polymer capable of molecular interaction with the polysaccharide. The formulations are versatile and can be adapted to create foams of various fat content, textures, and foam stabilities. The foams can be created with simple aeration systems such as disposable, pressurized canisters, as well as high-speed, bulk dispensation systems that are currently used in high turnover restaurants and convenience stores.

Methods, particles, and devices are disclosed for filtration of oil for use of the oil in the preparation of biodiesel. Disclosed particles may comprise a substantially inert porous particle with a coating comprising a polymer having amine, amino, and/or imine group(s).

This invention relates generally to dye-attached and/or surface-modified (e.g. functionalized) pigments. Certain embodiments include pigments formed by attaching a dye to the surface of a metal oxide or semi-metal oxide particle. Other embodiments include surface-modified pigments formed by attaching polymers having amine groups to the surface of a pigment. The surface functionalization of pigment particles with polymers having amine groups may provide the pigment with enhanced water resistance, color-fastness, smudge resistance, and/or compatibility with other materials in a composite or matrix material(s). For example, such functionalized pigments may be used in inks, paints, paper, fabrics, coatings, cosmetics, food, or other composites to provide or adjust hydrophobicity, softness, smoothness, and/or oleophobicity.
摘要:
Methods, particles and devices are disclosed which are suitable for food-grade oil filtration. Disclosed particles may comprise an inert porous inner particle and at least a partial coating on the inner particle that comprises a polymer comprising at least one amine, amino or imine group.

The invention relates to two products, each of which can be designed to provide either permanent or semi-permanent hair hold. A first product includes two formulations applied to the hair in two separate steps, while a second product includes a single formulation applied to the hair in one step.
摘要:
A composition is formed by compounding a first substance with a second substance. The first substance includes a bicarbonate, an acid or a combination thereof. The second substance includes a frothing agent, a coating agent or a combination thereof. The composition may be formed into coated particles or a mass of particles coated by a matrix, such as a matrix of the frothing agent. The particles or mass of particles may have more than one coating. The compound is used for preparing a stable froth on a beverage, such as a hot cup of cappuccino. The frothing agent may include not only compounds that enhance the stability of the foam but also compounds that enhance other characteristics of a desirable froth. The coating agent may be used to delay the reaction between a bicarbonate and an acid when the compound is added to water, such that a large volume of froth is produce, but undesirable flocculation, turbidity and increases in viscosity are avoided.

The present invention provides compositions, systems and methods for using coal from coal processing sources to remove coal fines from a mixture and form a coal-on-coal composite particle.
摘要:
The invention relates to an improved food product comprising food substrate, a thin adhesive coating deposited on a surface of said food substrate and a particulate deposited on the thin adhesive coating wherein the adhesive coating comprises an edible polymer which, after dispersion in a solvent and deposition on the food substrate, causes adhesion of the particulate to the food substrate.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for removing fine particulate matter from a fluid, comprising a separator that separates an inflow fluid stream into an overflow fluid path and an underflow fluid path, where the underflow fluid path is treated with a tethering material that attaches to the coarse particulate matter to form tether-bearing anchor particles and where the overflow fluid path is treated with an activating material so that the activating material interacts with the fine particulate matter to form activated particles. After these treatments, the underflow fluid path containing the tether-bearing anchor particles is comingled with the overflow fluid path containing the activated particles, so that a removable complex is produced that can be removed in a settling facility, thereby removing the fine particulate matter from the fluid. The systems and methods are particularly advantageous for removing particulate matter from a fluid waste stream following mining or ore processing operations, such as oil sands mining or processing.
