In one aspect, new dispenser components for use with portable fluid dispensing apparatus are provided. The present systems can be used to administer to a user water and other fluids optionally together with one or more other ingestibles such as flavoring, or a health supplement. In another aspect, new rotor or disk units that may comprise one or more pods or packets that contain ingestible material(s). In a further aspect, one or more of such pods or packets that may comprise one or more ingestible materials.

A sandwich wrap including a flexible, edible sheet that is adapted to enfold an edible filling whereby the resulting enclosing tube has both ends open and an auxiliary support situated under the lowermost open end when the wrap is held vertically for consumption, thus restraining filling from exiting. A method using an assembly frame positions the auxiliary support. Filling is stocked in a capped filling storage tube including at least two components that can be disassembled from inside the edible enclosing tube to give the edible enclosed filling. The food product may include a set of separately enclosed different fillings and each edible enclosing tube may be shaped around the filling storage tube to give a cross-sectional form of a circle sector so that the set forms a right circular cylinder. A seepage container assists assembly in advance of an order to avoid impairment by moisture seeping out of fillings.

A container is disclosed that may be edible, vegan, low sugar or sugar free, natural, sustainably sourced and made, biodegradable, or compostable including a water-proof layer arranged to ensure sturdiness and integrity.

A pouched product adapted for release of a water-soluble component therefrom is provided herein. The pouched product can include an outer water-permeable pouch defining a cavity containing a composition that includes a water-soluble component capable of being released through the water-permeable pouch, wherein at least one of the outer water-permeable pouch and the composition is orally dissolvable.

An adult novelty gift apparatus having an interior non-edible container having two or more sections forming a hollow interior and an optional edible coating, such as chocolate or candy, surrounding the non-edible container. An adult themed novelty gift will be located within the interior of the nonedible container. A decorative exterior covering, containing branding, may be applied to the outer surface of the non-edible container. The non-edible container may have an outer surface that is an ovoid shape.

Edible container for food products includes two halves of same shape, both of baked dough, shaped as a thin-walled tray with side walls on which protrusions and hollows are made; each half is symmetrical in plan view, as a tray, relative to an axis along a bottom of the tray; both halves are interconnected with the location of the protrusions of one half in the hollows of the other half to form a hollow thin-walled shell. End support platform is along edge of side walls of each tray. The protrusions and hollows are along the platform on inner wall of the tray. The protrusions are above the support platform and the hollows are below the level. Recesses are on outer surface of the tray opposite each protrusion, inside the tray extended along a height of the side wall, to form stiffeners on outer surface; each protrusion is opposite a recess.

Disclosed in one aspect is a pickled vegetable-based edible packaging paper, the raw material of which is composed of the following components in parts by weight: 92-95 parts of a high dietary fiber-level pickled vegetable, a compounding thickener (0.6-0.8 parts of pectin, 0.6-0.8 parts of potato starch, and 0.2-0.4 parts of soy protein), and a compounding plasticizer (3-4 parts of sorbitol, and 0.5-1.5 parts of citral); and further disclosed in another aspect is a method for preparing a pickled vegetable-based edible packaging paper. The pickled vegetable paper of the present invention is a novel pickled vegetable-based product having both edible and practical functions, which product is rich in dietary fibers, retains the unique flavor and color of the pickled vegetable, has toughness and non-stickiness to teeth, and is soft and easy to process after being wetted.

The invention relates to edible films, and more particularly to a method for preparing a food packaging film with antibacterial activity. By adding konjac glucomannan and glycerin in starch to obtain a composite film, the aggregation and rearrangement effect among molecules of amylose starch can be weakened, the defects such as high brittleness and low ductility of high-amylose corn starch can be improved, and, since the konjac glucomannan is rich in dietary fiber that is slowly digestible, a low-calorie edible packaging film can be produced by compounding. By adding the embedded product of perilla oil and cyclodextrin in the mixed dispersion of high-amylose corn starch and konjac glucomannan to prepare an active film, the film can have a smoother surface and more perfect and uniform structure, and also, the composite film can have a function of bacteria inhibition.

A dissolvable or partially dissolvable package is disclosed, which comprises a dissolvable, consumable material that minimizes clean-up and trash typically generated by packages that contain consumable materials. The package is typically used to deliver consumable materials to a consumable beverage, such as hot or cold water, juice, milk, or alcohol, to create a consumable beverage containing the consumable material. The package could be placed in the beverage itself, or in a machine that disperses liquid that dissolves the package and delivers the mixture of the liquid, the package, and the package contents to a beverage container. Dissolvable, consumable, logos could also be printed on the package, where the logo dissolves at a slower rate than the package, to provide a dissolvable, consumable logo that floats on the beverage as the main body and contents of the package dissolve into a beverage.

A pouched unit comprising a dose of a substance which is enveloped by a main part of a pouch made from a water soluble material, wherein the pouch comprises a secondary part made from the water soluble material, the secondary part is attached to the main part via a weaker area of the water soluble material, which weaker area is configured to allow manual separation of the secondary part from the main part, and a message is provided on the secondary part.
