The present invention is directed to a color stable meat product for storage in an egg product and the method of making such products by adding a color agent to a raw meat or by adding a color coating to a processed and/or cooked meat.

Color stable meat product for an egg product

The present invention is directed to a food product containing a liquid egg product and a stable meat product that retains its color, flavor, and/or texture while being stored for an extended period of time in the characteristic altering environment of the liquid egg product and a method of making such a product. A meat composition is mixed with a salt mix and a carotenoid stabilizing composition to form a complex that after thermal processing allows the meat product to retain its interior and exterior color, flavor, and/or texture during storage in a liquid egg product.

An improved method for making cheese is provided. The method comprises pasteurizing and acidifying one or more dairy components to obtain a cheese diary product. The cheese dairy product is coagulated to form a coagulum comprising curd and whey. The coagulum is cut and the whey is removed therefrom, thereby leaving the curd. The curd is heated and kneaded to produce a fiberous mass. An extender is added to the curd or to the fiberous mass, and the extender comprises at least one source of fat. The fiberous mass is processed to produce a cheese product. By this method. By this method, the casein/fat ratio can be increased early in the process so that less fat is wasted through removal with the whey. The fat content of the cheese product can then increased later in the process through the use of the extender, thereby creating a more cost-effective product.

An improved tilt-type aerosol valve for use with a pressurized whipped cream dispenser. The valve including a radially slotted &ldquo;fast fill&rdquo; valve body and further including an actuator with an at least three-pronged flow deflector for minimizing sputtering of the dispensed product.

A method for preparing a no fat or low fat cheese product from a culture medium prepared by combining from about 50 to about 94 wt. % whole milk, from about 0 to about 45 wt. % water, and from about 0.2 to about 1 wt. % of at least one food grade, polyanionic gum. The culture medium is inoculated with at least one lactic acid- or hetero-acid producing bacterium to form a cultured mixture. The cultured mixture is then combined in a vat with skim or low fat milk to form a cultured milk. The cultured milk is ripened, sufficient rennet added to form a coagulum, the coagulum cut to form curd in a whey solution, and the curd cooked while in the whey solution. The cooked curd is transferred to a means for draining the whey solution where the whey is separated from the curd and the curd salted. After salting, the curd is further processed to produce a no fat or low fat cheese.
