Abstract:
A process for treating a polysaccharide with a dialdehyde in the presence of from 10 to 40 weight percent of water, based on the total weight of polysaccharide and water, is beneficially conducted in a mixing device characterized by a FROUDE number FRw of larger than 11, wherein ωw is the angular frequency in sec-1 and is defined as 2*π*RPM/60, RPM is the rotational speed of the mixing device in revolutions per minute, Rw is the radius of the mixing device in m, and g is the acceleration due to gravity in m/s2. Fr w = ω w 2 R w g

Abstract:
Cellulose ethers are described herein which are useful in food compositions. In these cellulose ethers the ether substituents are methyl groups, hydroxyalkyl groups, and optionally alkyl groups being different from methyl, the cellulose ether has a DS(methyl) of from 1.65 to 2.20, an MS(hydroxyalkyl) of from 0.10 to 1.00, and hydroxy groups of anhydroglucose units are substituted with methyl groups such that [s23/s26−0.2*MS(hydroxyalkyl)] is 0.35 or less, wherein s23 is the molar fraction of anhydroglucose units wherein only the two hydroxy groups in the 2- and 3-positions of the anhydroglucose unit are substituted with methyl groups and wherein s26 is the molar fraction of anhydroglucose units wherein only the two hydroxy groups in the 2- and 6-positions of the anhydroglucose unit are substituted with methyl groups.
Abstract:
An animal protein can be stabilized in a liquid of a pH of 5.5 to 8.0 against precipitation induced by heat-treatment or bivalent cations or both by incorporating into the liquid a carboxy-C1-C3-alkyl cellulose, having a particle size such that no more than 15 weight percent of the particles pass a 63 micrometer mesh screen, no more than 40 weight percent of the particles pass a 200 micrometer mesh screen and not more than 10 weight percent of the particles are retained on a 1000 micrometer mesh screen, in an amount of 0.005 to 0.055 g of carboxy-C1-C3-alkyl cellulose per g of animal protein.

Abstract:
The present application relates to processes for imparting improved properties to carboxymethyl cellulose, for example, a process for producing an aqueous dispersible carboxymethyl cellulose is described, comprising introducing carboxymethyl cellulose into a high shear mixer, adding at least 20 percent water by weight to the carboxymethyl cellulose without additional surface treatment additives, forming carboxymethyl cellulose agglomerates, and drying the agglomerates by non-contact drying means to form the aqueous dispersible carboxymethyl cellulose.

Abstract:
The present application describes methods for reducing oil uptake of fried foods, comprising adding water to a batter mix comprising flour, at least one seasoning, optionally, a leavening agent, and granulated or agglomerated methylcellulose, provided that the methylcellulose has been granulated or agglomerated with a sufficient amount of carboxymethylcellulose as binder, to form a batter; contacting a food with the batter to prepare a battered food; and frying the battered food.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a process of preparing carboxymethyl cellulose comprising the steps of (a) reacting non-regenerated cellulose with an alkalization agent in the presence of water and isopropyl alcohol and (b) reacting the alkalized cellulose with monohaloacetic acid or a salt thereof, wherein 1.0 to 1.6 mol of the alkalization agent and 15 to 30 mol of water are used in step (a) and 0.5 to 0.8 mol of monohaloacetic acid or a salt thereof are used in step (b), each based on 1 mol of anhydroglucose unit of the cellulose. The invention also relates to carboxymethyl cellulose prepared by that process.
