on the masa extruder. When the masa stream
moves between the conveyors, it is gripped by
their facing surfaces and moved away from
the nozzle, causing the masa to be separated
into individual pieces, or logs. The masa handling method can also include feeding the
masa to masa hoppers supplied by at least two
endless belt conveyors arranged in upstream
and downstream positions relative to each
other. The masa is transported along the conveyors and is automatically diverted into one
masa hopper by a diverter gate operated by a
controller that receives a signal from a sensor
indicated a masa level within the hoppers.
The hopper has one or more rotating shafts
having projections to remove gas bubbles
from the masa and force it toward the sheeter
rollers. A pair of primary rollers with scrapers
in the hopper reduces the masa to an intermediate thickness before it passes between
the sheeter rollers (see image above).
OIL COMPOSITION

◾ US Patent No. 7,785,645 (Aug. 31, 2010);
W. Siew, et al., assigned to Malaysian Palm
Oil Board, Kajang, Selango, Malaysia.
The patent covers a process of producing an oil composition by blending and
fractionation steps. It can be applied to any
vegetable oil such as palm oil, palm olein or
palm stearin blends with unsaturated oils of
soybean, corn, canola, rapeseed or sunflower oil, where the oleic content is more than
20% and the linoleic and linolenic contents
are more than 30%. The new liquid oil is
clear and is used as salad oils, cooking oils,
etc. The stearins from such blends are of use
in margarine and shortenings.

COOKED CEREAL PRODUCT

◾ US Patent No. 7,790,210 (Sept. 7, 2010);
D. Funk, assigned to General Mills, Inc.,
Minneapolis, MN.
This food product has a soft plastic
nonfrangible major portion and a water
activity of 0.5 or less, combined with 1
to 15% of a second food of small directexpanded puffed particulates fabricated
from cooked cereal dough. The puffed
pieces are formed by direct puffing or
expansion into individual pieces rather
than by grinding or size reducing larger
cereal pieces. The puffed cereal pieces
have a continuous unbroken skin or surface surrounding the particulates as a
result of the direct expansion formation.
The particulates have a size ranging from
0.5 to 2.0 mm, a moisture content of less
than 6% and a bulk density ranging from
0.15 to 0.25 g per cc. The cooked cereal dough from which the particulates
are fabricated contains at least 45% rice
flour. The products exhibit a crispy texture notwithstanding the softer texture
of the major phase.
