ENZYME TREATMENT SOLUTION, SOFTENING METHOD AND SOFTENED ANIMAL-BASED FOOD MATERIAL

$
0
0
An enzyme treatment solution of the present invention is adapted to be used in a softening method for softening an animal-based food material composed of meat or fish and shellfish by subjecting it to an enzyme treatment using the enzyme treatment solution. pH of the enzyme treatment solution is 8.0 or higher but lower than 10.5, and a salimeter measurement value obtained by measuring an electrolyte concentration of the enzyme treatment solution using a salimeter as a salt concentration is 0.7% or more but less than 3.0%. This makes it possible to reliably soften the animal-based food material while maintaining mouthfeel and flavor thereof, thereby obtaining a softened animal-based food material having smooth mouthfeel.

$
0
0
Hollow plastic containers provided with a narrow opening and a body having a base and at least one side wall extending longitudinally between the narrow opening and the base, such as bottles or similar, are obtained from preforms by stretch blow molding. A blend of polyethylene terephtalate (PET) and polytrimethylene terephtalate (PTT), with a weight proportion of PTT in the range 5-50% is injected to obtain the preform. During the stretch blow molding step, the multi polyester preform undergoes longitudinal stretching at a longitudinal ratio of between approximately 3.5 and 6 and radial stretching at a ratio of between approximately 4 and 9. The body of the preform is subjected to an overall stretching ratio included between 16 and 50, whereby the weight of the container produced by stretch-blow molding may be reduced.
