Abstract:
A process for producing a low-calorie spread which comprises(1) proportioning a liquid fat phase and a proteinaceous, gelled aqueous phase into a rotating container in which conditions prevail which promote the formation of an oil-in-water emulsion;(2) cooling and working the o/w emulsion thus obtained in at least one surface-scraped heat exchanger to achieve crystallization of at least part of the fat;(3) feeding the emulsion thus obtained into a rotating container under conditions conducive to substantially complete phase inversion.
Abstract:
An apparatus for drying two materials comprising two coaxial cylinders, means for rotating the coaxial cylinders, means for introducing a first material into one end of the inner cylinder, means for heating the first material, means for moving the first material in response to the rotation of the cylinders along the interior of the inner cylinder so same is discharged from a second end thereof into an adjacent end of the outer cylinder, means for introducing a second material into the said adjacent end of the outer cylinder, and means for moving the first and second materials in response to the rotation of the cylinders along the interior of the outer cylinder in a direction contra to that of the movement of the first material in the inner cylinder so said first and second materials are discharged from the other end of the outer cylinder. The first material is dried in the inner cylinder by direct heating. The second material is dried in the outer cylinder by the heat exchange between the inner and outer cylinders and the first and second materials thereby conserving energy.
Abstract:
A process for producing a protein concentrate from soybean seed and a protein concentrate or isolate which may be obtained from said process. The process comprises the successive steps of: a) providing a press cake from soybean seeds, said soybean seed being at least partially dehulled before being pressed; b) washing said press cake by mixing it with a first acidic aqueous solution to obtain an aqueous-washed soybean seed meal, wherein said first acidic solution comprises more than 90% w/w of water; c) washing said aqueous-washed soybean seed meal by mixing it with a first alcohol solvent, to obtain a first alcohol-washed soybean seed meal, wherein said first alcohol solvent is a hydrous or a non-hydrous alcohol and has an alcohol concentration which is above 75% w/w; and d) separating said alcohol-washed soybean seed meal from said solvent to obtain said protein concentrate.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a sunflower seed protein isolate and a protein isolate which is obtainable by such process. The process comprises the following steps: mixing a defatted seed meal with an aqueous NaCl solution at a basic pH; separating said solubilised protein solution from solids; diafiltering said solubilised protein solution through an ultrafiltration membrane system using an aqueous NaCl diafiltration NaCl solution and at least 2 diavolumes of said aqueous NaCl diafiltration solution, diafiltering said NaCl-diafiltered protein; concentrating said purified protein solution; and drying said purified protein concentrate to obtain a protein isolate.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a lipid composition comprising fatty acids mainly in the form of triacylglycerols, in which composition at least 50% of the fatty acids are 14-methyl pentadecanoic acids, and at least 8% of the fatty acids are 12-methyl tetradecanoic acids, the percentages being expressed by weight with respect to the total fatty acids of the composition.
Abstract:
A composition is capable of curing via condensation reaction. The composition uses a new condensation reaction catalyst. The new condensation reaction catalyst is used to replace conventional tin catalysts. The composition can react to form a gum, gel, rubber, or resin.
Abstract:
A fluorosilicone reaction product of a vinyl functional organopolysiloxane and a fluorine-containing monomer, and methods of preparing the fluorosilicone are disclosed. The fluorosilicone products are suitable for application to substrates such as textiles, particularly fabrics, to impart oil repellent properties to the textile. The fluorosilicone reaction product is prepared from (A) a fluorine-containing monomer of the formula CH2═C(X)COOYRf, and (B) a vinyl functional organopolysiloxane.
