Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Food Industries
CONT

Bi-colour/bi-flavour technology : this process is achieved with twin-screw extrusion technology. Inside the extruder, after the product is mixed and cooked, it is divided into two flows. Colouring and/or flavouring is added to each flow through ports in the barrel. Then the product is extruded through a specially-designed die, which creates a product with two distinct colours and/or flavours. This can be done with virtually any grain and flavour/colour combination.

DEF

Mise en œuvre du procédé de cuisson-extrusion permettant l'obtention, à partir d'une seule matière de base, d'un produit de texture homogène, panaché au niveau couleur et goût.

CONT

En bicoloration, la masse visqueuse est préparée sur un seul extrudeur et séparée en deux flux à l'extrémité du fourreau. Chacun de ces flux peut recevoir un arôme, un colorant ou des additifs divers. L'utilisation de cette technique nécessite un fourreau particulier et une filière spéciale.

DEF

Changes which affect the enclosing rocks adjacent to hydrothermal ore deposits.

CONT

Wall rock alteration. Frequently alongside veins or around irregularly shaped orebodies we find alteration of the country rocks. This may take the form of colour, textural, mineralogical or chemical changes, or any combination of these.... the higher the temperature of deposition of the ore minerals the more intense is the alteration. This alteration, which shows a spatial and usually a close temporal relationship to ore deposits, is called wall rock alteration.

La dissolution, la recristallisation et la bréchification des roches hôtes carbonatées [...] sont des éléments communs de pratiquement tous les gîtes de type Mississippi-Valley. Ces effets, qui s'accompagnent d'une silicification et d'une dolomitisation, constituent la principale forme d'altération des roches encaissantes dans les districts à minéralisations de [ce type].

Aqua-Clear MGA is a dry blend of granular acid and additives used in the removal of iron, manganese and carbonate scale. It retains strength longer than most liquid acids which increases its cleaning capability. Applications/Functions : Disperse scale and incrustation. Removed scale and incrustation from water well screen, casing, gravel, and pumping equipment. Restore well production. Aqua-Clear MGA can be used in combination with Aqua-Clear AE to remove more difficult scale and incrustation. Advantages : Safe to use on all plastics, rubber and metals. No toxic vapours. Improves water quality(colour, taste and appearance). Reduces equipment and piping failures due to scale build up and corrosion. Lowers pumping costs.

Since 1911, when the variety OAC21 was licensed, six-rowed barleys have dominated malting barley production in Canada. Since 1929, most six-rowed varieties eligible for top grades of barley have been identified by a distinctive blue aleurone colour. With the exception of Gateway and Beacon, all licensed yellow-aleuroned six-rowed varieties have been inferior in malting quality and have been excluded from the Canada Western (C.W.) grades of barley.

CONT

Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, P. O. Box 3000, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada T1J 4B1. AC Harper is a six-row yellow aleurone, hulled, spring feed barley with smooth awns, suitable for the Canadian prairies. Ac Harper was developed from a cross between a scald resistant backcross line of Galt and BT364, which has high grain yield and strong straw. It has a combination of high yield potentiel, good resistance to lodging, short straw, and resistance to scald. AC Harper has improved kernel plumpness, protein content, and kernel colour compared to the feed check, Brier.

Depuis 1911, date à laquelle la variété OAC 21 a été homologuée, les orges à six rangs ont dominé la production d'orge de brasserie au Canada. Depuis 1929, la plupart des variétés à six rangs admises à faire partie des grades supérieurs d'orge ont une couche à aleurone d'un bleu caractéristique. A l'exception des variétés Gateway et Beacon, toutes les variétés d'orge à six rangs ayant une couche à aleurone jaune ont une valeur maltière inférieure et n'ont pas été admises à faire partie des grades d'orge de l'Ouest canadien.
