Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
63 words
A PROCESS OF PREPARING A COLD WATER-SOLUBLE GELATIN COMPOSITION WHICH COMPRISES ADMIXING A SUGAR AND GELATIN, ADJUSTING THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE ADMIXTURE TO FROM ABOUT 2.5 TO ABOUT 6 PERCENT BY WEIGHT, SUBS JECTING THE ADMIXTURE TO HEAT AND PRESSURE WHILE APPLYING SHEARING FORCES TO THE ADMIXTURE IN A CLOSED SYSTEM AND EXTRUDING THE ADMIXTURE TO OBTAIN A COLD WATER-SOLUBLE GELATIN COMPOSITION.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
63 words
A PROCESS OF PREPARING A COLD WATER-SOLUBLE GELATIN COMPOSITION WHICH COMPRISES ADMIXING A SUGAR AND GELATIN, ADJUSTING THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE ADMIXTURE TO FROM ABOUT 2.5 TO ABOUT 6 PERCENT BY WEIGHT, SUBS JECTING THE ADMIXTURE TO HEAT AND PRESSURE WHILE APPLYING SHEARING FORCES TO THE ADMIXTURE IN A CLOSED SYSTEM AND EXTRUDING THE ADMIXTURE TO OBTAIN A COLD WATER-SOLUBLE GELATIN COMPOSITION.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process as in claim 1 further comprising drying the composition to a moisture content of less than about 2.5 percent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process as in claim 2 in which the weight ratio of sugar to gelatin is from about 4 to 1 to about 12 to 1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A process as in claim 3 further comprising adding an edible acid and a buffer salt to the admixture.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
A process as in claim 3 further comprising subdividing the composition to a particle size such that 75% passes through a 100 mesh U.S. standard screen and not more than 30% passes through a 200 mesh U.S. standard screen.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
11 words
A process as in claim 5 further comprising agglomerating the composition.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
14 words
A process as in claim 5 further comprising incorporating a dispersant into the composition.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
14 words
A process as in claim 4 further comprising incorporating a dispersant into the admixture.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
12 words
A cold water-soluble gelatin composition prepared by the process of claim 1.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
13 words
A gelatin-based dessert mix comprising the cold water-soluble gelatin composition of claim 9.
