摘要： A method of forming an aquatic gel by forming a gelling component containing a gelling agent and a gas-forming agent, providing an acidic component containing an acidic agent in combining the gelling component and the acidic component with water at an elevated temperature and then permitting the mixture to set and form a gel. The combination of the acidic component, the gelling component and water is effective to form gas bubbles in the gel such that a density of less than about 1.0 g per ml is created.

摘要： A firm, flexible feed gel that provides animals, especially non-human primates such as orangutans, with fiber. The gel comprises a gelling agent, added-fiber, and water. While nutritional foods consumed by animals, both natural and manufactured, can contain certain amounts of fiber, the amount of fiber can be insufficient in maintaining the health of the animal. The invention provides a firm, flexible gel that contains an amount of fiber that is over and above the amount of fiber normally found in the animal's nutritional foods, i.e., it provides added-fiber. A method of preparing the gel comprises: (i) providing a gelling agent, a source of added-fiber, and water; (ii) blending the gelling agent and the added-fiber to form a mixture; (iii) combining the water and the mixture to form a homogeneous mass; (iv) transferring the homogeneous mass into a mold; and (v) cooling the homogeneous mass to form the firm, flexible feed gel. The gel can be frozen in one or more molds, stabilized, and/or reduced to a powder (which can later be rehydrated).

摘要翻译： 一种牢固，灵活的饲料凝胶，可以提供动物，特别是非人类灵长类动物如猩猩与纤维。 凝胶包含胶凝剂，加纤维和水。 虽然天然和制造的动物食用的营养食品可以含有一定量的纤维，但纤维的量可能不足以维持动物的健康。 本发明提供了一种坚实的柔性凝胶，其含有超过动物营养食品中通常发现的纤维量的纤维量，即其提供添加纤维。 制备凝胶的方法包括：（i）提供胶凝剂，添加纤维来源和水; （ii）将胶凝剂和加入的纤维混合以形成混合物; （iii）将水和混合物混合以形成均匀的质量; （iv）将均质块转移到模具中; 和（v）冷却均匀的质量以形成坚固的柔性进料凝胶。 凝胶可以在一个或多个模具中冷冻，稳定化和/或还原成粉末（其可以稍后再水化）。
