          Application 08/342,817                                                      



          ingredients, including both those disclosed but not claimed by              
          appellants and those neither disclosed nor contemplated by                  
          appellants.  In re Baxter, 656 F.2d 679, 686, 210 USPQ 795,

          the sucrose or fructose components leaves the process open to               
          the inclusion of either or both of sucrose or fructose.  There              
          are also no amounts or proportions recited in claim 1 for any               
          of the components utilized in the process.  Accordingly, the                
          claims are
