Appl. No.:

12/124641

Inventors:

David Richard Gard - Kirkwood MO, US

Assignee:

ICL Performance Products, LP - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

C03C 3/19
C03C 3/16
C03C 3/14

US Classification:

501 47, 501 45, 501 49

Abstract:

Potassium-containing polyphosphate glasses having a relatively high amount of potassium and a relatively low level of insoluble material (e. g. , less than about 10% by weight), and a method for their production that includes using a boron-containing glass-former additive. More specifically, these polyphosphate glasses may be described according to the formula MO(PO), where M is at least K or K+Na and the glasses have a mole % M-as-K that is about 33 to 100. These polyphosphate glasses may be used in reduced sodium foods (e. g. , beverages and meat products).

A23L 2/44

US Classification:

4263303, 426532

Abstract:

The present invention relates to the use of an acidic polyphosphate in beverage compositions as a preservative, antimicrobial and/or stabilizing agent. One acidic polyphosphate is the acidic polyphosphate sodium acid metaphosphate “SAMP.” Beverages compositions comprising SAMP and methods of making are also provided.

Monsanto Company - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

A21D 202

US Classification:

426562

Abstract:

A novel leavening composition comprising calcium acid pyrophosphate in combination with a carbonate factor, said composition exhibiting, in the dough rate of reaction (DRR) test, a maximum rate of release of carbon dioxide occurring between about 17 to about 40 minutes after initial mixing, said maximum rate being at least twice the rate observed at the termination of the mixing time of said test. The pyrophosphate is particularly useful in leavening systems for refrigerated dough in that an initial low rate of reaction with the carbonate factor is observed after which there is a large increase in the rate of reaction without change in temperature. The leavening composition is also useful in batters, dry mixes, frozen and refrigerated doughs and refrigerated batters.

US Classification:

423314

Abstract:

A method of forming condensed phosphates comprising reacting phosphate ions, such as generated from polyphosphate salts, and sulfamides, in an aqueous solution or suspension. An example of such a reaction is the reaction of tetrasodium tripolyphosphate and sulfamide in water to form sodium trimetaphosphate.

International Classification:

A21D 202

US Classification:

426551

Abstract:

The composition comprises dimagnesium phosphates in combination with a carbonate factor. The dimagnesium phosphates comprise a mixture of dimagnesium phosphates trihydrate, amorphous dimagnesium phosphate and possibly a small amount of dimagnesium pyrophosphate. The dimagnesium phosphates are prepared by removal of water from dimagnesium phosphate trihydrate wherein the weight loss on drying is in the range of from about 10% to about 25% at a temperature in the range of from about 100. degree. C. to about 200. degree. C. , depending upon drying conditions.

International Classification:

C01B 2542

US Classification:

423305

Abstract:

A novel method for forming a dispersable, fine titanium pyrophosphate powder by reacting titanium dioxide and a molar excess of phosphoric acid. The excess phosphoric acid, at a phosphorus pentoxide to titanium dioxide mole ratio greater than one, significantly improves the yield of the reaction product as a fine powder. A phosphorus pentoxide to titanium dioxide mole ratio of about 1. 20 to about 1. 25 results in over a 90% yield of a dispersable, fine titanium pyrophosphate powder having a particle size less than one micron in diameter.
