Appeal No. 95-4575
Application No. 08/097,063
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on an appeal from the final rejection of
claims 1 through 7 and 9 through 12 which are all of the claims
remaining in the application.
The subject matter on appeal relates to a process for the
production of deodorized fatty acid salt feed supplement product
which comprises (1) forming an admixture of reactive ingredients
comprising fatty acid, basic alkaline earth metal compound, an
aqueous medium and a primary amine and (2) recovering a
deodorized fatty acid salt product after completion of the
exothermic salt-forming reaction. This appealed subject matter
is adequately illustrated by claim 1, the sole independent claim
on appeal, which reads as follows:
1. A process for the production of a deodorized fatty acid
salt feed supplement product which comprises (1) forming an
admixture of reactive ingredients comprising (a) at least one
C -C fatty acid which has a detectable content of malodorous
14 22
carbonyl compound, (b) between about 0.8-1.5 equivalents of basic
alkaline earth metal compound per equivalent of C -C fatty
14 22
acid, (c) between about 10-80 weight percent of an aqueous
medium, based on the weight of fatty acid, and (d) between about
0.1-10 weight percent of R-NH primary amine, based on the weight
2
of fatty acid, where R in the primary amine formula is a C -C
1 10
organic substituent; and (2) recovering a deodorized fatty acid
salt product after completion of the exothermic salt-forming
reaction.
