Abstract:
This invention concerns a method for the preparation of a suspoemulsion formulation, which can be easily produced on an industrial scale and which allows the reproducible and effective administration of one or more water-insoluble veterinary drugs through water distribution systems. The water-insoluble veterinary drug, in finely ground form, is dispersed in a water immiscible liquid, followed by homogenization of this system into a water phase. To facilitate the preparation of a stable formulation, one or more stabilizing agents such as emulsifiers, thickeners, anti-oxidants and anti-microbials can be used. The resulting suspoemulsion shows excellent long term storage stability and a good “in use” stability after dilution in a vessel and during all handling and transport in the water distribution system.
Abstract:
Filters used in the beverage industry fouled by polyphenol-protein complexes and carbohydrate polymers can be cleaned by treating the filters either with the following methods: Solubilization of at least part of the carbohydrate polymers followed by a treatment of the resulting polyphenol protein complex with an oxidative chemical. Treatment of the fouled filters through a back-wash method using an oxidative chemical. In both cases it is not necessary to rinse the membranes after cleaning with a reductive chemical.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to copy protected paper, to a method for producing said paper, the use of a specific layer for copy protection of paper, and a method for protecting a printable paper from being copied. Copy protected paper comprising a printable paper having, on a side to be printed or a printed side, a first transparent layer, wherein said first transparent layer has a difference in refractive index with i) said paper; or ii) an optional second transparent layer being provided on said paper on the side to be printed or the printed side, wherein said difference in refractive index is at least 0.05.
Abstract:
A process for producing aldehydes, and/or carboxylic acids is described, in which a primary alcohol, especially a carbohydrate, is oxidized using a catalytic amount of a nitrosonium compound obtained by oxidizing a nitroxyl compound in the presence of an enzyme compound capable of oxidation. Further described are oxidized carbohydrates containing at least 1 cyclic monosaccharide chain group carrying a carbaldehyde group per 25 monosaccharide units and per molecule.
Abstract:
A process for oxidizing cellulose, in which a nitroxyl compound such as TEMPO is oxidized using an oxidizing agent in the presence of a complex of a transition metal such as Mn, Fe, Cu, and a complexing agent such as a polyamine, or an oxidative enzyme, and the resulting nitrosonium ion is used to selectively oxidize cellulose 6-hydroxy-methylene groups to carbaldehyde groups and carboxylic acid groups.
Abstract:
The invention provides a process wherein starch and/or a starch derivative can be gelatinised more efficiently by means a thermo mechanical treatment, when a carbohydrate polymer is used comprising aldehyde containing monomer units which comprise one or more aldehyde groups that are derived from one or more a primary alcohol groups. With this process a granulate or other semi-finished product can be obtained that can be shaped to produce an article that has excellent dimensional stability in water. The invention further provides a granulate, a shaped starch product, a food product or a blown starch film comprising such a carbohydrate polymer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a preparation having an improved taste, as well as to the use of said preparation for treatment of mineral deficiency. In accordance with the invention, it has been found possible to effectively mask the bad taste of even such notorious minerals as iron. As a result, patient compliance may be increased significantly by prescription of a preparation according to the invention, thereby increasing effective uptake of the deficient mineral.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cellulose-containing fibrous material, wherein hydroxy groups were oxidized at the C(6) of glucose units of the cellulose into aldehyde and/or carboxy groups, a paper or nonwoven (product) made therefrom, in particular tissue (products) and a process for their manufacture. The paper or nonwoven (products) of the invention display excellent strength properties.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to a process for the regeneration and recovery of periodate from a spent iodate solution, by reacting the iodate with at least an equimolar amount of hypohalite, and carrying out the recovery in the presence of a water-miscible organic solvent or potassium ions or divalent metal (especially calcium) ions. The regenerated periodate is especially suitable for oxidising carbohydrates to dialdehyde carbohydrates.
