Title: Gelled food concentrate
IPC: A23L29/231
Filed: 2012-08-03
Abstract: A food concentrate in the form of a gel for use in stock, soup, sauce, gravy or as a seasoning ingredient is substantially free of syneresis and does not require ingredients containing either calcium or polyols. Once the gel has been diluted in an aqueous liquid in a ratio of 1:10 to 1:100 under the application of heat, it will not skin or re-gel, even when completely cold. The concentrate may contain 30-60% water, 5-15% common salt, 1-8% low-methoxy pectin and 20-64% of taste-imparting components. The high salt concentration is believed to aid the gel formation. The concentrate has a percentage equivalent of sucrose less than 10%. A method of producing the gelled food concentrate comprises fully dissolving the low-methoxy pectin in hot water, optionally adding sugar, maltodextrin and taste imparting components and allowing the mix to homogenise, adding salt, re-homogenising and cooling and filling the cooled concentrate into a mould or consumer ready packaging to set.

Abstract: A water-conserving toilet is disclosed and includes a bowl (36) for receiving waste and a waste outlet (40) extending laterally from the bowl (36) and defining a first, shallow trap arranged so that a relatively shallow body of liquid is normally retained in the bottom of the bowl (36) for preventing gaseous flow through the trap. A flush system is provided and is arranged, when operated, to deliver a charge of flushing liquid into the bowl (36) in a direction to cause said body of liquid to be discharged through said outlet (40). A waste holding tank (42) communicates with said bowl outlet (40) for receiving waste from the bowl (36) and the holding tank (42) has an outlet (44) extending outwardly from the tank (42) and adapted for connection to a sewer inlet. The holding tank outlet (44) defines a second trap of substantial height capable of preventing reverse flow of sewer gas into the holding tank (42) in use and the holding tank (42) and second trap are arranged to contain a volume of liquid substantially in excess of the volume discharged from the bowl (36) at each flush. A flexible diaphragm (112) extends across the holding tank (42) above the level at which liquid enters from the bowl (36) and is sealed to the tank in gas-tight fashion. The diaphragm (112) is adapted to flex upwardly and accommodate air displaced as liquid enters the tank (42) from the bowl, (36) so as to minimize air resistance to flushing of liquid from the bowl (36).
