Title: Calcium-supplemented beverages and beverage concentrates containing low levels of chloride
Inventor: BUISSON PIERRE LOUIS
IPC: A23L1/304
Filed: 1988-07-29
Abstract: Beverage and beverage concentrates nutritionally supplemented with significant levels of solubilized calcium and containing low levels of chloride are disclosed. These beverages and concentrates also contain specified levels of edible organic acids selected from citric acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, gluconic acid, tartaric acid, and lactic acid, as well as mixtures of these acids. Other components are fruit and/or botanical flavors and sweetener. The weight ratio of total acids and chloride combined to solubilized calcium, as well as the particular acid mixtures, are selected to provide the desired flavor and sourness character for the beverages and concetrates. Inclusion of low levels of chloride in these beverages and concentrates provides a quicker onset of sourness and improves the solubility of the calcium, particularly when high levels of citric or phosphoric acid are used.

Title: Barrier products
Inventor: TALLENTIRE ALAN
IPC: B01D39/14
Filed: 1987-11-20
Abstract: A porous material (e.g. a paper 6) has pores with a range of sizes. A pore modifying agent (comprising particles 8 of a narrow size range) is selectively incorporated within the larger pores (7) to provide zones (9) of high surface area. These greatly reduce the penetrability of the material (e.g. by micro-organisms) while having relatively little effect on its air-permeability. The modifying agent (8) may be incorporated by creating a pressure difference across the material (2), and treating it with a dispersion (e.g. an aerosol) of the modifying agent (8), under conditions of low inertia, and incorporating only a small amount of the agent (8) (e.g. under 1% w/w).
