HIGH-PROTEIN DAIRY PRODUCT AND PROCESS FOR MAKING
A dairy-based yogurt product having a protein level above 15%, sometimes more than 25%, with a smooth and rich texture and no grittiness. The yogurt product includes a particular selection of dairy proteins and other ingredients to raise the gelation temperature of the dairy proteins and avoid causing gelation or precipitation during pasteurization. Additionally, pasteurization temperatures, times and methods are selected to avoid gelation. Starting dairy proteins generally have relatively higher pH levels and low total acidity (TA) levels to help reduce gelation during pasteurization. Ingredients such as buffering agents and sequestering agents may be utilized to help raise the gelation temperature, as well as higher sugar levels which can control hydration of the proteins.

Use of Ferulic Acid Esterase to Improve Performance in Monogastric Animals
The presence of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in the plant cell wall reduces the digestibility and limits the apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and performance of animals. The main chain degrading enzymes, especially xylanase, cellulase and glucanase play an important role in improving the digestibility of NSP in the feed. Ferulic acid esterase (FAE) breaks the ferulate cross linkages in the plant cell wall, and aids the main chain hydrolases to further degrade the plant cell wall. The present study investigated the synergy of FAE in combination with main chain degrading enzymes in improving the AME of birds fed with high fiber diet. The addition of FAE improves the access of main chain degrading enzymes, digestibility of high fiber diet, AME in layers and broilers, Body weight and reduces FCR in broilers.

The methods include filling an aliquot container defining a three dimensional shape with at least one open end with an amount of a frozen material, reducing the temperature of the frozen material within the scoop to about −12.2° C. (10° F.) or less; placing a first surface of the frozen material in contact with an interior surface of a first substrate, the first substrate having a length dimension an a width dimension; removing the frozen material from the aliquot container. The first surface of the frozen material is in contact with the interior surface of the first substrate and a second surface of the frozen material is positioned in a plane above the plane of the first substrate. Thereafter, the methods include manipulating the second surface of the frozen material to place at least one cavity in the second surface; disposing upon the second surface of the frozen material an amount of a filling to form a filling layer that has a first surface that is in contact with the second surface of the frozen material and a second surface; applying a second substrate to the second surface of the filling, the second substrate having a width dimension and a length dimension. Thus, a stratified frozen confection having at least two layers disposed between a first substrate and a second substrate is formed.

PROCESS FOR TREATING COCOA CAKE
Preground cocoa cake powder is mixed with pH neutral or alkalized water and continuously fed into a recirculating jet mill operated by superheated steam. In the mill, butterfat is separated while the cocoa cake is ground to a uniform fine particle size. Flash vaporization of the water mixed with the cake causes the particles to “explode,” improves separation of butterfat, and aids in the grinding action of the mill. Solid particles in the exit stream of the mill are recovered by cyclone separation, as a finely ground, defatted, cocoa product. Exhaust gases and butterfat exiting the cyclone separator system are fed into a desuperheater, where butterfat is recovered. The exhaust of the desuperheater is delivered to a bag collector for further separation and recovery. Other components that have a negative effect on the cocoa powder are neutralized and/or removed, providing an enhanced taste to the final product.

Method for Broth Separation from Floating Fat, Oil or Grease
The defatting method pertains to a simple and practical removal of fat, oil or grease from a broth surface during cooking or right before eating, in order to consume broth without the floating oil, fat or grease for a better health. The embodiment of my method is to adopt a blower (28) generating air stream (22) and aiming at a specific area on the surface of broth (24) in a container (20), blowing out a certain area free or minimal of floating fat, oil or grease (26) on the broth surface. Then scoop out from this defatted area to extract broth (32) free or minimal of fat, oil or grease (26). Another embodiment of the defatting method is to tilt container (20) and level the liquid surface to the tip of the laid down side of container (20), divert forward air stream direction from the rear of container (20), continuously divert forward air stream direction to drive fat, oil or grease (26) until they completely overflow out of container (20), thereby leaving behind the fat free broth (24). Blower (28) for the defatting purposes in my method has no doubt to become a novice appliance in the kitchen, on the table, and in the food industry and others.
