7033161, Apr 25, 2006
Filed:
Mar 22, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/805937
Inventors:
Kenneth R. Fahs - Green Bay WI, US
Franco X. Milani - Green Bay WI, US
Shawn L. Owens - Joplin MO, US
Assignee:
Schreiber Foods, Inc. - Green Bay WI
International Classification:
A23P 1/10
B29C 39/14
US Classification:
425373, 426512, 426516, 426517, 425447
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for forming a continuous sheet of a molten material with particularly viscous, sticky properties. This molten material may be moldable, plasticized or a food product such as cheese. More specifically, the invention includes a manifold that discharges the molten material in a continuous layer upon the surface of a casting belt. This manifold comprises a roller, a chamber with a hollow interior, at least one inlet and a drive mechanism.

US Patent:
7060311, Jun 13, 2006
Filed:
Jun 30, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/609016
Inventors:
Franco X. Milani - Green Bay WI, US
Susan Frinak - Green Bay WI, US
Donn S. Theuerkauf - Appleton WI, US
Francis J. Parker - Green Bay WI, US
Robert Olsen - Tempe AZ, US
Daniel P. Shannon - Green Bay WI, US
David L. Shaft - Green Bay WI, US
Assignee:
Schreiber Foods, Inc. - Green Bay WI
International Classification:
B65B 25/06
A23L 1/38
US Classification:
426414, 426410, 426633, 426 90, 426106
Abstract:
Packaged food portions, such as food slices, consisting of two or more food items, such as peanut butter and jelly, and processes for making them. The food portion is provided with sufficient viscosity and textural properties to enable its formation into a cohesive mass which can be extruded while maintaining the individual identity and organoleptic attributes of each food item within the food portion. The food portion may be shaped into a slice or other configuration prior to or during its encasing within a flexible packaging material. Product formulations which provide for minimal moisture migration between the different food items within the food portion and for optimum product stability, as well as processes and methods for providing and processing these formulations, are also disclosed.

View page
US Patent:
20030211217, Nov 13, 2003
Filed:
May 7, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/140772
Inventors:

Curds For Processed And Imitation Cheese, Cheese Products Produced Therefrom, Novel Intermediate Products And Methods Of Making Same

View page
US Patent:
20060062873, Mar 23, 2006
Filed:
Sep 13, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/226866
Inventors:
Randall Brandsma - Green Bay WI, US
Lawrence Bell - Green Bay WI, US
Michelle Malone - Green Bay WI, US
Franco Milani - Green Bay WI, US
International Classification:
A23C 9/12
US Classification:
426036000
Abstract:
Methods of making novel cheese curds and cheese products comprise the steps of providing a fluid milk protein source containing casein; mixing a milk coagulating enzyme into the fluid milk protein source; allowing the milk coagulating enzyme to react with the casein for a time sufficient for the fluid milk protein source to form coagulum while at a pH of 5.6 or above; heating the coagulum containing the enzyme treated casein to a temperature of at least 135 F., more preferably at least 150 F., while the fluid milk protein source is at a pH of 5.6 or above, for a time sufficient to cause syneresis of the coagulum and to form curds; and separating the curds from liquid remaining from the curd formation. In another embodiment, the milk coagulating enzyme is allowed to react with the casein for at least three hours while at a temperature at which a coagulum does not form; after which the fluid milk protein source containing the enzyme treated casein is heated to at least 135 F., for a time sufficient to cause the casein to form curds. The curds from either embodiment may be mixed with additional ingredients to make the cheese products, including processed and imitation cheese. A composition consisting essentially of a fluid milk protein source containing casein and milk coagulating enzyme in the form of a coagulum at a temperature of at least about 160 F., as well as ground curds having a weight average particle size of about 1.5 mm or less, are novel.
