Abstract:
Packaging of a stack of confectionery pellets having a longitudinal axis extending through all the pellets in the stack comprises a sheet wrapper that encases the stack. The wrapper is formed into a side wall portion which encircles the stack about the longitudinal axis and two end cap regions, each end cap region enclosing a respective axial end of the stack. A tear guide to assist a user in opening the packaging extends about the axis and is positioned at least partially within one of the end cap regions. The tear guide may be defined by lines of weakness in the wrapper which may be formed by laser etching. A method of packing a stack of confectionery items is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Disclosed are novel deodorization processes to realize highly polyunsaturated oils of enhanced stability. The novel deodorization has particular suitability for processing fish oils and soybean oil. The process involves use of mild solutions of acids and/or bases in sequential distillations to manipulate the volatility of undesirable aroma compounds to effect removal of offending compounds and precursors therefor. The oils are then polished to remove residual moisture and salts and to acidify the oil.
