A blade assembly suited for both blending and food processing in small throat blender jars is provided. The blade assembly comprises a plurality of blade forms each designed to perform a specific blending or processing task while simultaneously working together and with the geometric restrictions of the jar to optimize the assembly's capability to crush ice, blend or mix liquids and / or semi-solid materials, and to chop, cut, or slice solid food items without the need for user interaction to clear compacted items from the blades and / or the walls or bottom of the jar during its operation. The improved performance also serves the beneficial side effect of improved bearing and motor life in the blender / food processor.

The invention discloses a pressure relief device and a pressure cooker thereof. The pressure relief device comprises a connecting plate. One end of the connecting plate is connected with a reciprocating motion portion in a pressure intensity control device. The other end of the connecting plate is provided with a sealing pressure head for blocking a pressure relief hole. A kick leaf spring and a reset mechanism are arranged on the connecting plate. The other end of the kick leaf spring is connected with a cover plate. According to the pressure relief device and the pressure cooker thereof, constant changing of pressure inside a cooking cavity can be achieved by rapidly opening and closing the sealing pressure head and the pressure relief hole, so that liquid drives solid food to roll, and the solid food in a cooking cavity is heated uniformly. The pressure relief device and the pressure cooker thereof are convenient to install and long in service life.

This invention relates to a nutritional dietary system, formulation, kit and method for use in preparing an individual for a predetermined activity which requires a clean digestive tract, particularly the colon. Such predetermined activities include, but are not limited to, gastrointestinal surgery and colon screenings. Specifically, the present invention provides an individual low amounts of fat, dietary fiber and solid food content to minimize stool formation and / or facilitate removal of stool from the digestive tract prior to the predetermined activity. The present invention also provides the individual with sufficient calories and nutrition to enable the individual to conduct daily, routine activities while utilizing the present invention. In one alternative embodiment, the dietary regimen of the present invention provides a variety of pre-packaged, ready to eat or easy to prepare nutritional liquid or solid foods which, when coordinated with a laxative regimen, result in removal of residue such that a medically and / or diagnostically useful procedure can be performed on the digestive tract.

A canned pet food product having a base layer and an upper layer. The base layer is formed of solid food pieces in a gravy and has a substantially conical recess formed into its upper surface. The gravy makes up about 20% to about 40% of the base layer. The upper layer is formed of a substantially solid foodstuff and fills the conical recess formed into the base layer. The substantially solid foodstuff provides about 20% to about 80% by weight of the pet food product.

Methods and devices are provided for delivering obesity therapy to a patient. In general, the methods and devices allow for onset of a patient eating solid food, e.g., the patient beginning a meal, to trigger delivery of an obesity therapy to a patient. The obesity therapy can be delivered to the patient for a limited period of time such that the patient stops receiving the obesity therapy prior to a second onset of the patient eating solid food, e.g., the patient beginning a second meal, which can trigger a second delivery of the obesity therapy to the patient for a limited period of time.

The invention provides a preparation of a bisphenol A submicron magnetic molecular imprint and application of the same in the detection pre-processing of packaged food, which belong to the technical field of material chemistry and food safety. A surface molecular imprinting technology and a magnetic solid-phase extraction technology are combined, and a magnetic submicron particle wrapped by a surface molecular imprint polymer (Fe3O4@MIP) is prepared by using a bisphenol A as a template molecule. A magnetic submicron material (Fe3O4) is synthesized by a hydrothermal process, the synthesized Fe3O4 is synthesized into a silicon-wrapped magnetic microsphere (Fe3O4@SiO2) by a sol gel process, the synthesized Fe3O4@SiO2 is coupled with 2-bromo-isobutyryl bromide to form Fe3O4@SiO2@Br with Br groups on the surface, and the synthesized Fe3O4@SiO2@Br is synthesized into a submicron particle with a surface molecular imprint (Fe3O4@MIP) by an atom radical transfer process. The prepared Fe3O4@MIP is used in the detection pre-processing of packaged food which comprises liquid food, liquid food containing a certain quantity of solids and solid food.

The invention belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and relates to a low-temperature steaming and baking type food heating device for health preservation. The main structure comprises an inner pot concave bottom with a structure formed by an inner pot bottom raised towards a pot opening direction, wherein the inner pot concave bottom is provided with gas-liquid holes; the upper part of an inner pot side wall is provided with a left hand support and a right hand support; the inner and outer surfaces of an inner pot are provided with first medical stone films with the thickness of 0.1-0.5mm by spraying or sintering; the inner and outer surfaces of an outer pot are sprayed with medical stone films with the thickness of 0.1-0.5mm; an anti-scald left handle and an anti-scald right handle are fixed at relative positions at two sides of the outer pot side wall by using screws; a display screen, a temperature regulating key, indicator lights, a switching key and a time control key are arranged on a control system respectively; the control system is in electric information connection with a heating base plate and a temperature limiter and controls the conduction time and temperature to ensure that the heating temperature is controlled within 90 DEG C; and the nutritional ingredients in food materials are effectively retained, solid food materials and soup are separated quickly and completely, waterless dry steaming can be performed, the structural design is reasonable, the manufacturing process is simple, and the application is environment-friendly.

A novel dough-like mixture made using cellulose and hydrocolloid gums that can be used as a basis for forming a variety of low-calorie foods is disclosed. Methods for producing low-calorie and reduced-starch donuts, fillings, cookies, breads, and many other food products using this dough are also described. Erythritol-based reduced-sugar confectionery items and methods for their production and application, including use in reduced-calorie sweet-tasting bakery goods, are also disclosed. Many of the disclosed foods are low enough in caloric value to be termed “recreational solid foods,” with experiments showing that even ad libitum eating of them results in weight loss.
