A method for arranging eggs in a container. Eggs placed in receptacles of the container come to a resting orientation, by virtue of eh contouring of the receptacle, such that a long axis of the first egg is tilted toward a rear portion of the container at nearly uniform angles slightly offset from a vertical axis, and parallel side-to-side. Using features of the container, movement of eggs from their resting orientation, as well as twisting (spinning) about their long axes is resisted during marking, shipping or handling. The orienting of eggs in the receptacles or compartments thereof may be aided by use of an egg orienter. Tilting of the eggs may be facilitated by using receptacles or compartments which are asymmetrically contoured with respect to the vertical axis.

Cyanobacteriochromes as color-fast or color-switching food additives

Номер: US20190133160A1
Принадлежит: UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA

Compositions and methods are disclosed for the coloring of foodstuffs with recombinant, purified, and/or isolated cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs). The CBCRs can affect the apparent color of a food by selective absorbing or fluorescing particular wavelengths of light. The CBCRs can have either colorfast properties, in which the CBCRs consistently appear as having a single color, or color changing properties, in which the CBCRs can switch between two states that each appear as a different color.
