- <p> THANKS, BUT WE'LL HAVE THE CHOCOLATE CHIP FUDGE SWIRL. The
- U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced the development of
- Oatrim, an oat-bran extract that can serve as a fat substitute
- in desserts and other foods. This dismayed Murtaugh/Match, a
- small Wisconsin food-consulting firm that claims to hold the
- patent on oat bran-based frozen desserts. Explains Timothy
- Murtaugh: "We take advantage of the creamy, smooth texture of
- oats once they are cooked, like oatmeal." Says a USDA patent
- adviser: "We feel there's an opportunity for both to be allowed
- and licensed within their own commercial niches."
