Abstract: A process for preparing a flavored dried fruit product having a flavor which does not substantially correspond to the natural flavor of the dried fruit is provided. As a first step, a dried fruit is treated with an acidulant being selected from the group consisting of tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid, phosphoric acid, and fumaric acid in an amount and for a period of time which is sufficient to substantially remove the natural flavor of the dried fruit. As a second step, the treated dried fruit is then dehydrated to the desired moisture content. The dried fruit is treated during the first step or after the second step with a flavoring agent having a flavor which does not correspond to the natural flavor of the dried fruit. The flavoring agent is employed in an amount and for a period of time which is sufficient to impart to the dried fruit a flavor which is substantially the same as the flavoring agent.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé amélioré pour entreposer et transporter de la toluène-diamine, particulièrement pour l'entreposage à long terme ou l'entreposage dans des conteneurs de grande capacité, p. ex. conteneurs de navire. L'amélioration apportée au procédé réside dans le fait que l'on réduit substantiellement le point de fusion ou de congélation de la toluène-diamine anhydre obtenue par distillation fractionnée d'un produit de réaction généré par l'hydrogénation du dinitrotoluène. Cette réduction du point de fusion est réalisée par addition d'eau dans une quantité de 5 à 15 % en poids de la toluène-diamine et en formant un mélange pour entreposage et transport. La quantité d'eau introduite dans la toluène-diamine anhydre varie de préférence entre environ 7 et 10 % en poids.

Abstract: A meat injection machine (10) has a fluid manifold (34) with a plurality of fluid reservoirs (38), and a group of injection needles (68) associated with each reservoir.  Each needle (68) is slidably mounted in a stripper tube (62) which in turn is slidably mounted in the fluid manifold (34).  A valve (94) on the upper end of the stripper tube seats on a valve seat (93) on the upper end of the needle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of accelerating the onset of puberty in avians, especially ratites and psittaciformes, by administering a heterologous protein comprising inhibin, or a fragment thereof, and a carrier protein. The present invention also relates to a method of increasing egg production in animals, particularly birds, more particularly ratites, via the administration of the heterologous protein. This invention further relates to the heterologous protein and a method for producing the heterologous protein. The heterologous protein can be either inhibin conjugated to the carrier protein or inhibin fused to the carrier protein.  The method of producing the fused heterologous protein comprises inserting double stranded cDNA encoding inhibin, or a fragment thereof, into a vector which encodes a carrier protein such as maltose binding protein or bovine serum albumin.  After inserting the vector into an expression system, the fused heterologous protein is expressed by the system.After purifying the expressed heterologous protein, an effective amount of the protein is administered to an animal such that an immunological response occurs in the animal against the heterologous protein.

Title: Adhesive sealant composition
Inventor: BARROWS THOMAS H
IPC: A61L24/00
Filed: 1995-06-23
Granted: 2006-10-10
Abstract: This invention is related to an adhesive composition which may be used to bond or seal tissue in vivo. The adhesive composition is readily formed from a two-component mixture which includes a first part of a protein, preferably a serum albumin protein, in an aqueous buffer having a pH in the range of about 8.0-11.0 and a second part of a water-compatible or water-soluble bifunctional crosslinking agent. When the two parts of the mixture are combined, the mixture is initially a liquid which cures in vivo on the surface of tissue in less than about one minute to give a strong, flexible, pliant substantive composition which bonds to the tissue and is absorbed in about four to sixty days. The adhesive composition may be used either to bond tissue, to seal tissue or to prevent tissue adhesions caused by surgery.
