The methods include hydrolyzing whey or whey derivatives and adding amino acids to promote a Maillard reaction to synthesize the sweetener. | 06-24-2010 |
20110229598 | Enhanced lactoperoxidase system for treatment of milk products - The present invention relates to treatment of milk and milk products such as waste-milk with an enhanced lactoperoxidase system. The enhanced lactoperoxidase system is activated by the addition of a hydrogen peroxide source and an oxidizable agent, such as a halide to the milk to inactivate the bacterial pathogens. The enhanced lactoperoxidase system may be used alone or in conjunction with pasteurization to reduce or eliminate the bacterial load in milk products. | 09-22-2011 |

20120107868 | PROCESSES FOR MAKING PROTEIN HYDROLYSATES FROM ANIMAL PEPTONE AND FOR PRESERVING MUCOSA - A process for hydrolyzing products with enzymatic activity remaining in peptone solutions after mucosa hydrolysis is provided along with a process for preserving mucosa tissue. Broadly, the processes are carried out by hydrolyzing mucosa tissue according to conventional heparin manufacturing processes wherein an excess quantity of proteolytic enzymes is used. The resulting peptone solution is then contacted with proteins or protein-containing materials in order to hydrolyze the proteins. In another embodiment, mucosa tissue is preserved by mixing it with a preserving agent selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide and phosphoric acid. The product preserved by hydrogen peroxide is low in ash, stable for at least a week, and has a reduced odor. | 05-03-2012 |

20110131814 | COMPOUND LEVERAGE HAND TOOL WITH INTERCHANGEABLE TOOL HEAD - A compound leverage hand tool with an interchangeable tool head. The tool includes a pair of pivotably interconnected handles and a tool head defined by a pair of pivotably interconnected blade members. Each blade member terminates at one end in a mounting dowel that is pivotably mounted in a pair of retention slots in one of the handles. Tool head latches are pivotably mounted to the handles and include locking fingers that extend over the retention slots. The tool head latches can be pivoted relative to the handles between a locked position, wherein the locking fingers prevent the mounting dowels from being removed from the handles, and an unlocked position, wherein the mounting dowels can be removed from the handles. A spring biases the tool head latches toward the locked position. To unlock the tool head latches and remove the tool head, a user engages a tool head latch and pulls the handles apart. | 06-09-2011 |
20110259073 | HAND SEAMER WITH REPLACEABLE BLADES - An improved compound leverage hand seamer with removable blades. The hand seamer includes a pair of pivotably connected handles and a pair of pivotably connected seamer heads. Each of the seamer heads is connected to one of the handles at a first end and terminates at a second end in a substantially planar head segment having a flat, inwardly-facing mounting surface. A substantially planar, rectangular blade is removably mounted to the mounting surface of each of the seamer heads in a flatly abutting relationship therewith by a pair of threaded fasteners that engage threaded mounting holes in the blades and in the seamer heads. The blades can be conveniently removed and replaced if they become worn or damaged, or if user wishes, to install smaller or larger blades on the hand seamer. | 10-27-2011 |
