Method for applying sugarless coating to chewing gum and confections

Abstract: An improved method for applying a sugarless coating containing sorbitol to chewing gum pieces and confections by using a single coating syrup containing sorbitol and/or other non-sugar sweetener, an adhesion or binder component, such as gum arabic, a filler-anti-stick component, such as calcium carbonate, and a dispersing agent, such as titanium dioxide.

Microcapsules with a defined opening temperature, a process for their production and their use

Abstract: Microcapsules having a defined release temperature and being formed of gelatin or a mixture of gelatin with gum arabic, carboxymethylcellulose and/or anionic polymers, the gelatin having been hardened with a natural and/or synthetic tanning agent and with a carbonyl compound, and the process for making said microcapsules.

Gum arabic, carrageenan of various types and sago palm starch as binders in prawn diets

Abstract: An experiment was undertaken in order to investigate the use of sago palm starch, gum arabic and carrageenans as binders in prawn diets. Water stability data are presented; EPT-2 carrageenan was found to be the best binder for both steamed and unsteamed pellets.

The effect of dietary fibre sources on aflatoxicosis in the weanling male rat

Abstract: 1. Two experiments with male weanling rats were conducted in which they received individually and restrictedly either a basal semi-purified diet containing starch as the principal carbohydrate or the same diet to which mixed aflatoxins were added in quantities providing from 0.13 to 0.4 mg aflatoxin B1/kg diet. Various natural ingredients, or semi-purified sources of dietary fibre were substituted for a portion of the starch in the basal diet containing aflatoxin. The diets were fed for 13-14 weeks after which the rats were given ad lib. a commercial rodent diet until they were killed at 109 weeks of age. 2. Two further experiments were conducted in which twenty-four rats in each experiment received the basal diet plus aflatoxin, or diets in which a portion of the starch was replaced by gum arabic or by wheat offal. After 13 or more weeks the absorption, retention and excretion of 14C-labelled aflatoxin B1 was measured in each rat. 3. The addition of gum arabic or wheat bran to the diet decreased the effects of the toxin in the first two experiments, but as measured by several characteristics, only wheat bran provided an effect which persisted during the period when neither it nor the toxin was given. The effects included an apparent reduction in tumour incidence. The change in the content of starch in the basal diet, occurring as a consequence of adding the test ingredients is also considered to be an associated cause of the effects observed. 4. In comparison to starch, wheat offal increased the total 14C in the faeces and the proportion of the total found during the first 48 h after dosing. Rats receiving starch excreted more 14C in their urine and retained more 14C in their livers. The differences between gum arabic and starch were not significant as measured by 14C excretion and retention. Liver size as a proportion of carcass weight was less in rats receiving wheat offal or gum arabic, and rats receiving wheat offal had a lower incidence of fat-loaded hepatocytes. 5. The interaction of dietary toxins, or drugs, with the ingredient composition of diet may affect animal response even when the diets are adequate and similar in nutrient composition. This may be of significance both in drug-safety studies and in animal production.

Perfumed jelly candy

Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide a perfumed jelly candy which gives refreshing perfume to the mouth and masks foul breath when held in the mouth, by adding a perfume to a gelable sol, and gelling the mixture. CONSTITUTION:A gelation raw material selected from gelatin, gum arabic, collagen, and polymeric polysaccharides capable of forming a gel, e.g. agar, pectin, etc., is incorporated with sugars, water, and if necessary, organic acid or its salt, seasonings, colorants, and other additives, and heated to obtain a sol. The sol is mixed with 1-10wt% of desired perfume, homogenized, and solidified to a desired shape.

Preparation of vegetable polysaccharide sulfate ester

Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain a vegetable polysaccharide sulfate ester, which has an anticoagulant and an antilipemic action and is useful as pharmaceuticals, by sulfating a vegetable polysaccharide. CONSTITUTION:A vegetable polysaccharide, obtained from a vegetable gum is sulfated. The sulfation is commonly carried out by reacting the vegetable polysaccharide with chlorosulfonic acid. Gum arabic and tragacanth are advantageous in view of availability, etc., as the vegetable gum. Each vegetable gum contains a vegetable polysaccharide corresponding to its own kind. For example, gum arabic contains arabic (arabic acid) and gum tragacanth contains tragacanth (tragacanthic acid).

Oillinnwater type suspension insecticide composition

Abstract: PURPOSE:The titled composition having free from problems, e.g., flammability caused by the use of an organic solvent, bad small, toxicity to man and beast, phytotoxicity, etc., being handled readily, comprising an organic phosphrous type insecticide, polyvinyl alcohol or gum arabic, a viscosity bodying agent, and the rest of water. CONSTITUTION:The titled insecticide composition comprising (A) 1-50wt% organic phosphorus insecticide, (B) 2-10wt% polyvinyl alcohol or gum arabic, a proper amount of a viscosity bodying agent, and the rest of water. Since this composition can be handled as a liquid, dust will not occur when a spraying solution is prepared, it can be treated quantitatively like a spray, and problems such as toxicity by an organic solvent, stimulation, phytotoxicity to farm products are insignificant. The ingredient A, e.g., O,O-dimethyl S-[1,2-di-(ethyoxycarbonyl) ethyl] phosphorodithioate, etc. is mechanically dispersed or suspended as finly divided particles in an aqueous solution of the ingredient B, and an viscosity bodying agent is added to the suspension to give a stable composition.
