Abstract:
A method of producing a water-in-oil product is described. The method comprises the step of: admixing a hydrophobic component with a water-in-oil emulsion to form said water-in-oil product, wherein said hydrophobic component comprises a probiotic in a hydrophobic medium.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for controlling the fatty acid chain composition of triglycerides wherein a feed stream comprises a mixture of triglycerides containing at least one long chain. Said mixture is substantially free of trishort chain triglycerides and it is treated in at least two fractionation steps to fractionate between long chain triglycerides at temperatures above 200° C. and pressures between 0.01 and 10 Pa, wherein one of said steps fractionates between trilong chain triglycerides and mono- and dilong chain triglycerides and the other one of said steps fractionates between monolong chain triglycerides and dilong chain triglycerides. The process can be used for the providing of target triglycerides having a controlled fatty acid chain distribution.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a variant xylanase polypeptide, or fragment thereof having xylanse activity, comprising one or more amino acid modifications such that the polypeptide or fragment thereof has an altered sensitivity to a xylanase inhibitor as compared with parent enzyme.
Abstract:
A method of providing selected fractions of high-esterified pectin, each having different functionalities, by consecutive extraction of a vegetable material with acidic aqueous solutions to obtain successive fractions of high-esterified pectin with increasing setting time. The vegetable material is optionally prior to being extracted subjected to an acid pre-treatment by heating it in a homogeneous mixture of water and a water-miscible organic solvent. The pectin fractions obtainable by the method have improved properties when used in the preparation of food products such as preserves and acidified milk products. The pectin fractions are also useful as starting materials in a method of obtaining deesterified and optionally amidated pectin fractions having additionally improved functional characteristics.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of polydextrose for the sweetening of edible products. The invention relates especially to the use of polydextrose for synergistically enhancing the sweetness of sweet tasting sugar compounds selected from sucrose, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, maltulose, isomaltulose, galactose and mixtures or syrups thereof. The invention provides edible products having a desired level of sweetness with a reduced level of sugar or an enhanced level of sweetness without increased level of sugar. The invention also relates to a process for sweetening an edible product with polydextrose.
Abstract:
A multilayered packaging material, in particular for flexible packagings, comprising when seen from the outer face to the inner face an outer, substantially transparent film (1) having a reverse print (2) on its inwardly facing surface; an intermediate layer (3, 4) connected to the printed surface of the outer film (1) and applied in fluid form to the inner, printed surface of the outer film (1); a metallization layer (5) connected to the inner face of the gas barrier layer (3) and an inner sealing medium layer (7), preferably in form of a polyolefine.
Abstract:
A method for preparing a mixture of fructose, glucose and oligosaccharides prepared from tubers or roots, and the use of the mixtures as a filler bulking agent with a sweet taste.
Abstract:
There is provided an anti-fouling composition comprising (i) a surface coating material; (ii) (a) a first enzyme; and (b) a first substrate, wherein action of the first enzyme on the first substrate provides a second substrate (iil) a second enzyme, wherein the second enzyme is encapsulated in a silicate, and wherein said second enzyme generates an anti-foulant compound when acting on said second substrate.
