New Compact Nitrogen Tunnel Freezers
where: NMN= non-meat nitrogen N n = nitrogen in non-meat ingredients DE f = dextrose equivalent in finished products DEn = dextrose equivalent in non-meat ingredients
The non-meat nitrogen is deducted from the total nitrogen content in the finished product to yield meat nitrogen. Since the resultant value obtained is for meat nitrogen, it is possible to apply the factor 6.25 for conversion to meat protein.

NEW PRODUCTS! PROCESSES Digital Set Point Control Industry's very first digital set point control designed to turn equipment On and Off at designated temperatures has been introduced by HEAT-TIMER Corporation of Fairfield, New Jersey. Its unique and exclusive feature is its continuous digital display of both the set point and the temperature at the sensor probe location. Digi-SPAN is a simplified operating temperature control for such devices as processing equipment in the food, chemical, and other manufacturing industries as well as such general equipment as pumps, boilers, fans, airconditioners and refrigerators. Typical application are: as an outdoor air temperature stat, as a boiler operating aquastat control and as a temperature alert for frozen products. For further information contact M. Pitonyak, HEAT-TIMER Corp., 10 Dwight Place, Fairfield, NJ 07006 (or call 201-575-4004).
weight range available in polyethersulfone membranes: 3000 to 100,000. Can be used to + 100°C and pH 1 to 14 and can be cleaned and re-used up to ten times. Novacell: disposable 10 mL polyvinylchloride cell with reusable components. Prep, assembly, clean-up are simple, fast; largest filtration area to date: 5.6 cm 2 (55% more than other 25 mm stirrer cells). Color-coded support base identifies membrane. Suction cups securely attach cell to stirrer plate. Novasette systems process from one to several hundred liters in minutes. Change or add filter-cassettes without disconnecting tubing. Each cassette provides 5 sq ft filtration area; up to ten cassettes can be combined, as required. Available in range of 3000-100,000 MW, with narrow pore-size distribution for sharp cut-off, high sensitivity. For further information contact Fisher Scientific, 112 Colonnade Rd., Nepean, Onto K2E 7L6.
Sulphites Concern Health problems associated with the use of sulphites is presently being monitored by Health and Welfare Canada. Sulphites are used as freshener and/or preservatives on fruits and vegetables. Some asthmatics have experienced mild to severe reactions to the substance, including breathing difficulties, gastro-intestinal disturbances, acute asthma attacks and possibly shock. Consumers are urged to read ingredient labels if they wish to avoid sulphites. Sulphiting agents include sulpher dioxide, potassium metabisulphite, sodium sulphite, sodium metabisulphite, sodium bisulphite and potassium bisulphite. Of greater concern, however, is the use of sulphites in foodservice operations. They are often used in salad bars. As a result of consultation with Health and Welfare Canada, the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association (CRFA) has decided to make its members aware of the problem and discourage them from using sulphiting agents. Health and Welfare Canada is planning to produce an information sheet on sulphites to alert consumers to the problem. xx / Affaires de I'Institut

Two versions of a liquid nitrogen (LN 2) tunnel freezer, designed for use in small continuous production applications or in laboratories, are now available from Liquid Carbonic Inc. One of these two "mini" freezers, the Model JE-U4, is a straight-line tunnel with bottom cooling. Equipped with a patented liquid nitrogen injection system and adjustable bottom blowers, the JE-U4 provides efficient fast-
