A method for preparing a stable clear liquid release agent comprising a uniform liquid blend of fatty oils and Polysorbate 80, the method comprising the steps of heating and blending at a temperature of between about 65° C. and about 260° C. at least two fatty oils, said oils including a first oil selected from a group consisting of palm oil, coconut oil and palm kernel oil and mixtures thereof, said first oil being present in an amount of from about 15 to about 41 percent by weight of said blend, and a second oil selected from the group consisting of olive oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sunflower seed oil, corn oil, herring oil, manhaden oil, pilchard oil, and fish liver oil and mixtures thereof, said second oil being present in an amount of from about 58 to about 84 percent by weight of said blend; further blending Polysorbate 80 at a temperature of between about 74° C. and 85° C. with said blend of first and second oils said Polysorbate 80 being present in an amount of from about 0.25 to about 2.0 percent by weight of said blend; chilling said blend of the first and second oils and said Polysorbate 80 to uniformly cool said blend to a temperature of between about 20° C. and about 25° C., working said chilled blend by high speed agitation to provide a clear liquid release agent and packaging said release agent with a CO 2 propellant in an amount of from about 3.0 to about 5.0 percent by weight of said blend.

A method for preparing a stable clear liquid release agent comprising a uniform liquid blend of fatty oils and Polysorbate 80, the method comprising the steps of heating and blending at a temperature of between about 65° C. and about 260° C. at least two fatty oils, said oils including a first oil selected from a group consisting of palm oil, coconut oil and palm kernel oil and mixtures thereof, said first oil being present in an amount of from about 15 to about 41 percent by weight of said blend, and a second oil selected from the group consisting of olive oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sunflower seed oil, corn oil, herring oil, manhaden oil, pilchard oil, and fish liver oil and mixtures thereof, said second oil being present in an amount of from about 58 to about 84 percent by weight of said blend; further blending Polysorbate 80 at a temperature of between about 74° C. and 85° C. with said blend of first and second oils said Polysorbate 80 being present in an amount of from about 0.25 to about 2.0 percent by weight of said blend; chilling said blend of the first and second oils and said Polysorbate 80 to uniformly cool said blend to a temperature of between about 20° C. and about 25° C., working said chilled blend by high speed agitation to provide a clear liquid release agent and packaging said release agent with a CO 2 propellant in an amount of from about 3.0 to about 5.0 percent by weight of said blend.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said fatty oils are heated to a temperature of about 70° C. during said blending step.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The method of claim 2 further including the steps of cooling said blend to an intermediate temperature of about 60° C. and homogenizing said blend prior to the chilling step.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
An improved release agent comprising the fatty oil blend produced by the method of claim 3.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
94 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said blend is chilled by passing said blend through an annular space defined between the bore of the jacketed tube and a rotating shaft with outwardly extending scrapers, the tips of which contact the wall of said bore for removing films of blended oil from the wall of said bore, said jacketed tube being cooled for the removal of heat from said blend which is formed by said annular space into a relatively thin layer for the substantially uniform removal of heat from said layer of said mixture.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said oil blend further includes an effective amount of a flavor additive and a colorant.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of claim 1 further including the steps of cooling said blend to a temperature of about 60° C. prior to said chilling step.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1 further including the step of homogenizing said blend prior to said chilling step.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
16 words
An improved release agent comprising the fatty oil blend produced by the method of claim 1.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method defined in claim 1, wherein said liquid blend of oils further includes an amount of lecithin sufficient to act as an anti-spattering, anti-bleeding and emulsifying agent.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
16 words
An improved release agent comprising the fatty oil blend produced by the method of claim 10.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method defined in claim 1, wherein said blend further includes an effective amount of anti-oxidants.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method defined in claim 1 wherein said blend further includes aluminum stearate in an amount from about 1 to about 10 percent by weight of the blend.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
16 words
An improved release agent comprising the fatty oil blend produced by the method of claim 13.
