An edible composition consisting of (a) natural gum comprising a polysaccharide hydrocolloid (a1) containing mannose repeating units; (b) carrageenan; (c) cellulose ether, and optionally (d) water, wherein the weight ratio of carrageenan (b) to polysaccharide hydrocolloid (a1) ranges from 0.4:1 to 1.4:1 and the weight ratio of cellulose ether (c) to polysaccharide hydrocolloid (a1) is at least 0.02:1; its use in an edible product; and the edible product, typically sausage, comprising the edible composition.

Sausage additive comprising cellulose ether and natural gums

Compositions comprise a highly miscible polymer blend of at least one cellulose derivative and at least one polysiloxane additive of formula [RRRSiO][RRSiO][RSiO][SiO], wherein the substituents R, R, R, R, Rand Reach independently represents a hydrocarbon group or a functional group selected from a hydroxyl group, an acyloxy group or an alkoxy group, and may be the same or different from each other with respect to each individual silicon atom, and 0&#x2266;a&#x2266;0.4, 0.01&#x2266;b&#x2266;0.99, 0.01&#x2266;c&#x2266;0.99, 0&#x2266;d&#x2266;0.3, under the proviso that at least one hydrocarbon group and at least one functional group are present and a+b+c+d=1. Articles such as optical films comprising such a composition exhibit improved moisture barrier properties, reduced and adjustable out of plane retardation, adjustable glass transition temperature and provide for a facile generation of hydrophilic surface properties without considerable difference of the mechanical properties compared to corresponding articles of the pure cellulose derivative. A method to prepare such optical films, which can be particularly useful as retardation or protection films for polarizing plates in liquid crystal display devices, is also provided.

Highly miscible polymer blends and uses thereof

A whippable topping composition comprising: (a) water-soluble carbohydrates, (b1) hydrogenated vegetable fat, (b2) optionally milk fat, (c) an emulsifier formulation having an HLBFormulation value of less than 9, (d1) a first hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, (d2) a second hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, (e) protein, (f) optionally a non-protein hydrocolloid stabilizer, and (g) water, wherein the weight ratio of first hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (d1) to second hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (d2) is within the range of from 3:1 to 13:1.
