This disclosure relates to the field of increasing the duodenal flow and absorption of lipophilic nutrients, such as poly-unsaturated fatty acids, enhancing their content in animal products such as meat and milk. This increase is suggested to ameliorate both the health of humans consuming the animal products and the animals themselves. More specifically, this disclosure relates to a process to prepare an oil-in-water emulsion of droplets of lipophilic nutrients encapsulated by a protein-phenol matrix. The formation of the protein-phenol matrix requires both the presence of polyphenol oxidases extracted from specific plants and the addition of a diphenol. The latter emulsion, when given as feed, protects lipophilic nutrients against degradation by microbes present in the rumen of animals so that these non-degraded nutrients can be transferred further in the animal's body. In addition, the latter emulsion may also be used to protect lipophilic nutrients against deterioration during storage or processing (e.g., due to oxidation)

TOPICAL CRUST COLORANT
A powdered crust colorant for topical application to a white dough is prepared from dextrose, wheat starch, pregelatinized starch and powdered caramel colorant. The colorant is applied topically to the exterior surface of the white dough after it has been formed into a cinnamon roll. The white dough with the powdered crust colorant is then frozen and later placed in a microwave so that upon finishing the white dough into a cinnamon roll, the crust colorant is heated and causes the top part of the crust to turn brown or tan.

Metering the Disposition of a Food Product into Cavities Forming a Pellet
A process for metering the disposition of a food product into cavities forming a pellet. The cavities are defined in one of a conveyor as individual cavities and in a tray moved by the conveyor. Each cavity defines a specific volume. The process includes supplying a quantity of food product in a supply chamber which includes a plurality of nozzles aligned above the conveyor. The nozzles are aligned with a predetermined portion of the cavities. A predefined supply of food product is dispensed and metered through each nozzle. The food product is dispenses through the nozzles into the cavities without exceeding the specific volume of the cavity. The food product is frozen into an individual quick frozen pellet starting immediately upon disposition in one of the cavities. The step of metering the predefined amount of food product includes metering a predetermined weight of the food product.
