Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
A method of producing a dried sodium caseinate product for use as a traceable additive in sausage, said product having a uniformly and stably dispersed content of tin in an amount of the order of about 0.05% by weight, comprising mixing together sodium caseinate in aqueous solution with tin in the form of a water soluble salt of tin, and spray or roller drying the resulting solution.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
67 words
A method of producing a dried sodium caseinate product for use as a traceable additive in sausage, said product having a uniformly and stably dispersed content of tin in an amount of the order of about 0.05% by weight, comprising mixing together sodium caseinate in aqueous solution with tin in the form of a water soluble salt of tin, and spray or roller drying the resulting solution.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
97 words
A method of producing a dried sodium caseinate product for use as a traceable additive in sausage, said product having a uniformly and stably dispersed content of tin in an amount of the order of about 0.05% by weight, comprising mixing together about 90 - 98 parts by weight of water, about 20- 30 parts of casein, a small fraction of a part of a water soluble salt of tin, and about 1 part of 50% caustic soda to form a homogeneous, colloidal solution having a pH of about 6.5, and spray or roller drying said solution.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
97 words
A method of producing a dried sodium caseinate product for use as a traceable additive in sausage, said product having a uniformly and stably dispersed content of tin in an amount of the order of about 0.05% by weight, comprising mixing together about 90 - 98 parts by weight of water, about 20- 30 parts of casein, a small fraction of a part of a water soluble salt of tin, and about 1 part of 50% caustic soda to form a homogeneous, colloidal solution having a pH of about 6.5, and spray or roller drying said solution.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 2, the tin salt being selected from the group consisting of stannous chloride and sodium stannate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method of claim 2 wherein the tin salt, dissolved in hydrochloric acid solution, was added to a casein-water mixture, the caustic soda being then added to a final pH of about 6.5.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 4, the tin salt being stannous chloride.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 2 wherein the tin salt, dissolved in aqueous solution, was added to a mixture of casein, water and caustic soda.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 6, the tin salt being sodium stannate.
