Title: Improvements in or relating to manufacture of edible plastic substances
IPC: A23D7/02
Filed: 1951-05-16
Abstract: 690,663. Edible ' plastic substances. KRAFT FOODS CO. May 16, 1951, No. 11423/51. Class 84 A method of manufacturing an oleaginous edible plastic substance comprises preparing a material containing about 80 per cent of an edible fat which is normally non-liquid at normal atmospheric temperatures but which can be liquefied at temperatures considerably below 212‹F, heating the material so as to liquefy the fat and thereby render the material capable of flowing, then mixing the heated material with a vaporizable liquid, which is capable of evaporating at a pressure lower than the pressure at' which the vaporizable liquid and the heated material are mixed at a temperature which is below the point of solidification of the edible fat, then spraying the mixture of the heated material and the vaporizable liquid into a chamber maintained at a pressure below the pressure at which the vaporizable liquid evaporates, thereby contemporaneously reducing the temperature of the material to a point considerably below its liquefying temperature so as to convert the material into a finely divided solid, and then mechanically working the solid particles to form a coherent plastic mass. If butter is the desired end product, the starting material will contain about 80 per cent of milk fat, about 16 per cent of water, about 2 per cent salt, and 1 or 2 per cent of milk solids (other than fat). If oleomargarine is desired a starting material will contain about 60 per cent of an animal or vegetable fat or a blend of such materials, adjusted so that the melting point of the mixture will be about 95‹F. Coconut oil may be employed and if other more liquid oils are employed the melting point may be raised by hydrogenation according to known methods, the final percentage of fat or oil in any case being about 80 per cent. As shown, the liquid fat and other ingredients maintained above 100‹F are circulated in a tank 10, part being led off to a spray head 17 in a spray chamber 18 where it is .mixed with liquid CO 2  from a storage tank 20 when the solid spray particles formed fall to the bottom and are removed by a conveyer 28 which kneads and works the material before discharging it into a print machine 29. The CO, used is recovered and recycled.
