MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611005344 A) filed by Zippy Edible Products Private Limited, Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand, on Jan. 19, for 'system and method for manufacturing rolled viscoelastic food structures with a longitudinal void.'
Inventor(s) include Anup Mishra; Dr. Anupama Semwal; and Sarthak Singhal.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing rolled viscoelastic food structures (e.g., Soya Chaap, HMMA rolls) with a guaranteed longitudinal void, eliminating the need for physical mandrels or "blind cores." The method utilizes a non-linear cutting profile to generate at least one "Volumetric Initiation Segment" on the leading edge of the food sheet. The dimensions of this segment (or plurality of segments) are calculated based on an Inverse Thickness Rule and a Shear Efficiency Ratio. During rolling, this segment convolutes first to form a solid "In-Situ Homogenous Mandrel," which physically forces the remaining sheet width to wrap around it, creating a "Phantom Filling" structure. This geometry ensures efficient mass transfer during cooking, prevents thermal fusion of the inner bore, and provides structural stability against viscoelastic recoil and packaging compression."
