Title: Process for preparing a cooked cured meat pigment.
Inventor: SHAHIDI FEREIDOON
IPC: A23L1/275
Filed: 1991-10-24
Granted: 1995-08-30
Abstract: The pigment, i.e. a mono- and/or di-nitric oxide hemochrome responsible for the color of cooked cured-meats has been prepared from red blood cells, directly or indirectly through a hemin intermediate. The process for preparing this pigment includes the steps of reacting bovine or hog red blood cells with a nitrosating agent and with at least one reductant, at a suitable elevated temperature, to provide a cooked cured-meat pigment, and drying the cooked cured-meat pigment by spray-drying, drum-drying or freeze-drying techniques. The improvement of the present invention involves stabilizing the cooked cured-meat pigment by the step of: treating the cooked cured-meat pigment with a treating mixture of (i) a wall material which is one or more of a starch, a modified starch, a starch polymer, a starch derivative, starch products, N-LOK, maltodextrins, or Schardinger dextrins, e.g. β-cyclodextrin, (ii) a binding agent which is a gum and/or glycerin, and (iii) an additional agent which is an individual one, or is a mixture of, a reductant and a sequestrant; thereby to provide a stabilized CCMP product or a PCCMP product. The preformed pigment, as such or in the encapsulated form, when added to meat prior to cooking reproduces the typical color of nitrite-cured product.

Abstract: A system for the effective recording and recovery of gemstones uses site machines for recording the optical response of gemstones with these optical responses being forwarded to a central database for classifying in a manner to allow effective searching of the database. The site machine progressively scans the optical response of the gemstone and provides an accurate record of the optical response of the gemstone. Gemstones reported to the central database as being stolen have their records duplicated in a separate database which can be searched remotely by police and other enforcement agencies for a possible match with the optical response of gemstones they have recovered.

Abstract: An apparatus for a catheter valve which can be used to effect selective closure of a catheter lumen in order to control fluid flow through the catheter lumen once the catheter is inserted into a patient's body. The apparatus has a valve body with a hub which is joined to the catheter, and a rotatable cap which is joined to the hub. An elastomeric sleeve is positioned in an opening through the interior of the valve body. One end of the elastomeric sleeve is joined to the rotatable cap while the other end of the elastomeric sleeve is joined to the hub. When the cap is rotated in one direction to a first position, the circular opening of the sleeve is fully opened. When the cap is rotated in the opposite direction to a second position, the elastomeric sleeve is twisted intermediate the two ends so as to ultimately effect closure of the circular opening. Due to the elastomeric properties of the sleeve, the circular opening through the sleeve tends to be uniformly constricted as the cap is rotated to effect closure.
