DEFINITION

Classification: 426/531

(under the class definition) Processes involving the compounding, treating, or preparing food materials which includes either, (1) specified chemical reaction, (2) the admixture of diverse food materials, or (3) the use of a permanent additive. Also the materials, commodities, etc.., produced by said processes or other products, per se.

(1) Note. With the exception of subclasses 561-563, excluded herefrom as being an additive for this subclass, (or as a material that can cause a chemical reaction by addition), or as a diverse food material, are water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, the inert gases, or mixtures solely composed of these materials.

(2) Note. A process for preparing a mixture containing constituents derived from species of the same genus or plant or animal is considered a mixture proper for this subclass. In this regard a mixture of Rome or Delicious apples or a mixture of milks derived from different species of cows would be proper herein.
