Abstract
Abstract A buttered table syrup is provided in a polyolefin bottle. An emulsifier is selected which provides a storage stable product. The product does not develop an objectionable off-flavor when packaged in a polyolefin container. The emulsifier contains carageenin and pectin, and may further contain locust bean gum, and/or carboxymethylcellulose.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
A bottled buttered table syrup comprising a polyolefin container containing a table syrup, said table syrup containing at least about 65% by weight sugar solids, butter in an amount of 1-5% by weight based on the weight of the syrup, and from 0.05 to 0.52% by weight of an emulsifier, said emulsifier containing from 0.01 to 0.2% by weight, based on the weight of the syrup, of carrageenin, and from 0.01 to 0.2% by weight, based on the weight of the syrup, of pectin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
A bottled buttered table syrup according to claim 1 wherein said emulsifier comprises from 0.05 to 0.2% by weight carboxymethylcellulose, from 0.01 to 0.2% by weight carrageenin, and from 0.01 to 0.2% by weight pectin, based on the weight of the table syrup.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
A bottled buttered table syrup according to claim 1 wherein said container comprises polypropylene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A bottled buttered table syrup according to claim 1 wherein said sugar solids result from the table syrup containing liquid sugar syrup and corn syrup.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
96 words
A method of bottling a table syrup in a polyolefin container which comprises filling a polyolefin container with a table syrup, said table syrup containing at least about 65% by weight sugar solids, butter in an amount of 1-5% by weight based on the weight of the syrup, and from 0.05 to 0.4% by weight of an emulsifier, said emulsifier comprising from 0.01 to 0.2% by weight, based on the weight of the syrup, of carrageenin, and from 0.01 to 0.2% by weight, based on the weight of the syrup, of pectin, and closing said container.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
96 words
A method of bottling a table syrup in a polyolefin container which comprises filling a polyolefin container with a table syrup, said table syrup containing at least about 65% by weight sugar solids, butter in an amount of 1-5% by weight based on the weight of the syrup, and from 0.05 to 0.4% by weight of an emulsifier, said emulsifier comprising from 0.01 to 0.2% by weight, based on the weight of the syrup, of carrageenin, and from 0.01 to 0.2% by weight, based on the weight of the syrup, of pectin, and closing said container.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method according to claim 5 wherein said emulsifier comprises from 0.05 to 0.2% by weight carboxymethylcellulose, from 0.01 to 0.2% by weight carrageenin, and from 0.01 to 0.2% by weight pectin, based on the weight of the table syrup.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
11 words
A method according to claim 5 wherein said container comprises polypropylene.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
84 words
A method according to claim 5 wherein said buttered table syrup is prepared by the steps of: admixing said carrageenin and pectin with water, the weight of water being about 10 to 100 times the total weight of said carrageenin, and pectin, to form an aqueous emulsifier; admixing a sugar syrup and the aqueous emulsifier to form a sugar syrup-emulsifier admixture; admixing melted butter and the syrup-emulsifier admixture to form a buttered admixture; and homogenizing said buttered mixture to form said buttered table syrup.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
36 words
A method according to claim 8 wherein said water is at a temperature of from 120° to 140° F. and wherein said aqueous emulsion is held for a period of time sufficient to solubilize the emulsifiers.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method according to claim 9 wherein said melted butter is at a temperature of not more than 140° F.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
63 words
A method according to claim 8 wherein the buttered admixture is blended for a time sufficient to form a homogeneous admixture and is thereafter heated to a temperature of 170°-185° F., wherein water is added, if necessary, to adjust the sugar solids content to a desired level, and wherein the resulting syrup is maintained at a temperature of 170°-175° F. while being bottled.
