Between 5 and 10 percent concentra- tion, a person might smell a pungent odor similar to fresh carbonated water. At these concentrations, a person will become tired quickly with labored breathing, headaches, tinnitus and impaired vision. Within a few minutes the person is likely to become confused and unconsciousness would follow. Suffocation could happen, potentially leading to a fatality. Analox Sensor Technology supplies one of the world's leading carbon dioxide alarms. The company, which has its U.S. base at Huntington Beach, Calif., has been working with the hospitality indus- try worldwide for more than 20 years. Its Ax50, a wall-mounted CO2 alarm, is now installed in more than 90,000 cellars worldwide. By monitoring the levels of CO2 in a confined space, it gives both visible and audible alarms should levels of the gas rise. Analox also supplies a portable alarm, the Aspida, which can detect both Analox (Cont'd. from p.4) raised CO2 levels and low oxygen (O2) levels, and also incorporates a 'man down' and panic alarm. Both of these monitors have been designed in conjunc- tion with representatives of the hospitali- ty industry, to ensure that they meet the industry's needs. Patti Clarkson, Vice President Sales for Analox US, said, "Municipalities and local fire marshals across the United States are enforcing the existing fire code regarding the stor- age of liquid carbon dioxide (CO2). Owners and managers in hospitality venues must ensure they have the cor- rect monitoring system in place." "However, as well as ensuring that your venue is complying with the regu- lations, by installing an appropriate carbon dioxide alarm, you can be sure that everyone in the building will be alerted should a leak occur," Clarkson said. "This is an affordable and effec- tive way to ensure the safety of your staff and customers."

FC Meyer Packaging, the nation's most experienced box maker since 1907, has been providing custom, creative and sustainable solutions for their customers, whose packaging challenges range from a complete new corporate identity to a one-off package designed entirely around a customer's signature product. The company, which operates two domestic folding carton facilities in Jeannette, Penn., and Quitman, Miss., has struck a balance of providing high quality stock and custom take-out pack- aging to restaurant operators. At the NRA Show the firm will be launching its new MeyerPak™ and SaladPak™ product lines. The MeyerPak is attractive and stur- dy paperboard packaging that is available in a full range of sizes, from side dishes to family meals. The boxes come in Glacier White, Farm-stand Kraft and Elegant Ebony paperboard finishes. From a side salad to an Osso Bucco din- ner for four, the web corner construction and barrier extruded paperboard will not leak or break down when reheated in the FC Meyer (Cont'd. from p. 1) microwave, or put in the refrigerator for future use. The new SaladPak box is an eye- catching "grab-and-go" design that is available in three sizes, with a clear win- dow to showcase salads and increase sales. If there is a need for a special one-of- a-kind package, the FC Meyer Packaging creative team of artists and designers can provide a complete turn-key packaging program that can cover the entire menu or a special package for a signature prod- uct.

Increasing profits and pleasing customers are just two reasons why busi- ness owners have found success in the addition of a soft serve countertop machine. The two countertop options offered by Donper America, the BT7180 and BT7280, are very different in their appearance and functionality. Whether you are looking for a mobile machine that can plug into a household plug, or need a countertop machine with the capa- bilities and capacity of a free-standing machine, Donper America has the solu- tion for you. One similarity between these two machines is that they both can be great revenue generators for your existing concept. The BT7180 differs from other soft serve machines because of its portability. Unlike free-standing soft serve machines, the BT7180 is equipped with a 115-volt design, allowing it to be powered by most standard outlets. Therefore, the BT7180 is the perfect machine for off- site catering events such as birthday par- ties, weddings, school functions, and fundraisers. The BT7280 is an extremely effi- cient and reliable machine that can be used for high output self or full service frozen yogurt concepts. A great aspect of this machine is that it can also be used as an additional revenue generator for hotels, convenience stores, restaurants, and more. This countertop model packs the punch of a larger machine in a com- pact design with a production capacity comparable to a freestanding machine such as the BH7480. Both countertop machines offer two flavors and a twist in the middle. With the self-serve concept in mind, they are extremely easy to use and can be operat- ed by employees or customers. Like all Donper America machines, the design is made of complete stainless steel con- struction for durability with a sleek and modern appearance. Also consistent with Donper America's line of soft-serve machines, the BT7180 and BT7280 house a user-friendly digital control panel with dual LCD displays that con- tinuously monitor consistency to endure smooth and creamy product every time.

Over the last several years however, increasing attention has been focused upon the negative health effects of trans fat. Intake of trans fat – which can be found in foods such as packaged foods, fried foods and certain vegetable shorten- ings or margarines – have been shown to lead to increased cardiovascular disease risk. As the global movement among food manufacturers to remove unhealthy trans fat from foods continues, many food products require an alternative solid fat as a replacement in order to get the same desirable functional and textural qualities. Increasingly, most manufactur- ers are turning to palm oil as a healthier natural alternative to trans fat. "The greatest benefit of palm oil is that it has the same functional properties as trans fat so it may be effectively sub- stituted without the health problems associated with trans," said Stacey Day, MS, RD. Extracted from the oil palm fruit, palm oil consists of a balanced natural fatty acid composition along with a bolus of antioxidant vitamin E tocotrienols and can be produced in various textures need- ed in many food applications, most com- monly bakery and snack food. Through the process of fractionation – a method using cold temperature crystallization to separate oils into different components – American Palm Oil (Cont'd. from p. 1) palm oil offers an almost unlimited vari- ety of different fractions and functionali- ties. It is semi-solid at room temperature, processed with no chemicals, and is a balanced blend of saturated and unsatu- rated fat. "Many scientists now believe that the saturated fat in palm oil is 'neutral,' neither increasing nor decreasing the risk of heart disease," said Dr. Gerald McNeill, VP of Research and Development at Loders Croklaan. "In fact, recent government research shows that a balanced intake of fats like the variety found in palm oil actually sup- ports cardiovascular health." According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the recommended alterna- tive to trans fat has been mono or polyun- saturated fat, which are known to reduce overall cholesterol levels. However, some experts question what impact an increased intake of these unsaturated fats will have on the overall health of Americans. Data has shown that increased consumption of polyunsaturat- ed fat may, in fact, negatively impact health, leading to weight gain and coro- nary heart disease. Palm oil as a substitute to trans fat offers an alternative with a more natural balance of nutrients for consumers looking to improve their diet, while still being able to enjoy the tastes and texture they prefer.
