A beverage whitening composition for whitening coffee, tea or hot chocolate, is described. The composition replaces a selected fluid, such as partially skimmed milk or half-and-half cream, in a reduced volume while providing the same or a very similar whitening ability and taste as the selected fluid to be replaced, so as to be indiscernible to the consumer. The target volume for reduction is 45% to 95%. The composition is useful for replacing skim, 1%, 2%, whole milk, light cream, half-and-half cream or coffee cream in dispensers containing bags, to reduce frequency of bag replacement. The composition may be steamed and used to whiten a steamed milk beverage, such as a latte.

A method for economically retrieving pre-rigor lean and fat for pork sausage from a butcher hog; barrow (a male pig that has been castrated) or gilt (female pig less than six months old that has never been pregnant), (a pig approximately 285 lbs live weight, 6 months old and ready for market with no abnormalities). Retrieving pre-rigor pork sausage from a butcher hog is not known currently in the industry because the perception is that it is not economically feasible. The process technology as disclosed and claimed herein is a new method for economically retrieving and processing certain sections of a butcher hog for producing ground pork sausage while maintaining the value from the primal cuts. The ground pork sausage from this process has comparable texture, color, consistency and other characteristics as compared to the pork sausage retrieved from the older sows, which are typically utilized in industry.

The present invention provides stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) formulations, comprising ACC and a non-aqueous liquid carrier in which the ACC is dispersed. The present invention further provides cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions comprising ACC.

The present invention provides stable amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) compositions, and food articles comprising said compositions.

Creamers for whitening food products are provided. The creamers can havelong-term stability, high whitening capacity and a pleasant mouthfeel. In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides aspray-dried creamer composition comprising added sugar comprising sucrose and/or lactose ranging from 5-30% by weight; milk ranging from 30-60% by weight; fat ranging from 15-40% by weight; wherein said composition is devoid of added emulsifiers and/or buffer-and stabilizing salts. The invention also provides a coffee creamer mix comprising the above creamer composition and coated or compacted coffee, wherein coffee dissolves after the creamer dissolution.
