Contact spices

Among enzyme modified starch derivatives,cyclo dextrins behave as empty molecular capsules with the ability to entrap guest molecules of appropriate geometry and polarity.The included molecules are protected from surroundings light, heat,oxidation, etc. The flavor cyclodextrin com -plexes show the above advantageous properties while they are in the dry,solld state.On contact with water,cyclodextrin complexes release their flavor content. In Hungary,the spice flavor beta-cyclodextrin complexes have been on the market, since 1982.

Lecithins can be dissolved in oil, dispersed in water, or used as is, in release applications. Oil-free lecithins can be dry blended into breading, coatings, and spice or seasoning mixes for release of the coated food product from the food-contact surface. In food products that have a high surface area-to-volume ratio, like pancakes or fortune cookies, lecithin can be added directly to the product formulation to achieve release from the cooking/baking surface. Effective release depends on... 

Over the eons there have been many materials, from sea shells to spices, that have been used as a medium of exchange, but the most popular have been materials that are durable and gain as much value from their scarcity as their utility. Gold is an example of the latter, as well as gemstones, in particular, diamonds. The durability of gold, its resistance to corrosion, has contributed to its usefulness for applications such as dental prostheses and electrical contacts. Likewise, the durability of diamonds has con-... 

Of about 1000 patients with occupational skin diseases, five had occupational allergic contact dermatitis from spices (11). They were chefs or workers in kitchens, coffee rooms, and restaurants. In all cases the dermatitis affected the hands. The causative spices were garlic, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and clove. The same patients had positive patch-test reactions to carrot, lettuce, and tomato. 

Among 55 patients with suspected contact dermatitis, skin patch tests that were positive at concentrations of both 10% and 25% were most common with ginger (n = 7), nutmeg (n = 5), and oregano (n = 4) other spices produced no responses or one positive response (3). Positive... 

Comments I never contacted this maker of America s grocery store spices to see how extensive their product line goes. You can if you wish. 

We wonder why all the hydrogenation patents and oils and spice extraction patents are cited and not the deFillippi patent which is exuemely relevant to Claim 1 of the instant patent ( Claim 1.

Kumkum, a turmeric-based paste applied topically, has been associated with cases of dermatitis (Nath and Thappa 2007). Cases of contact urticaria from the compounds curcumin and tetrahydrocurcumin have been reported (Fischer and Agner 2004 Lamb and Wilkinson 2003 Liddle et al. 2006 Thompson and Tan 2006). Contact dermatitis with positive patch test for turmeric was reported in a spice shop worker routinely exposed to spice powders (Goh and Ng 1987). Similarly, contact dermatitis was reported in a pasta factory worker exposed to curcumin food coloring (Kiec-Swierczynska and Krecisz 1998). Two cases of contact dermatitis were reported in individuals using a topical ointment containing turmeric. Patch testing of both individuals indicated a sensitivity to both turmeric and curcumin (Hata et al. 1997 Sakurane et al. 1999). 

Contact and systemic contact-type dermatitis reactions to cardamom have been reported and confirmed by patch testing (Dooms-Goossens et al. 1990 Mobacken and Fregert 1975). In spice factory workers with a history of skin symptoms, irritant patch test reactions were observed for cardamom in some workers (Meding 1993).

Among 1000 food service workers that visited a dermatological clinic between 1991 and 1995, five had occupational allergic contact dermatitis from spices. Allspice was confirmed as one of the causative spices (Kanerva et al. 1996).
