.~ Combining material from single source without a previous food separation step of the different materials
DEFINITION
Classification: 426/388
(under subclass 665) Processes which do not involve a separatory operation prior to the combining of several different materials from a single source.
(1) Note. The removal of water, or the mere subdividing of a food prior to the combining operation is not considered a separatory operation. The type of separation that is excluded is to a separation of various constituents of a food, e.g., peeling, coring, pitting, extracting, etc..
(2) Note. "Different" includes distinct treatments on the same type of food, (e.g., combining milks which have been heat treated at different temperatures, etc..) or combining distinct portions of food (e.g., large and small pieces, etc..)

425+, for processes of using a liquid as an extracting medium.
472+, for processes of preparing a dry product by heating or dehydrating including the separation of a constituent. 478+, for processes that may involve separating a starting material into plural different constituents and which may involve a recombining operation.
