An extrusion and conditioning apparatus, with an extruder in a conveying position, leads into a conveyor housing connected in a sealed manner to a pneumatic supply line and to a pneumatic conveyor line in which extruded material can be removed pneumatically, by means of superheated steam, via the conveyor line. The extruder can be moved from the conveying position into a bypass position, in which the extruder leads to the exterior of the conveyor housing, having a means for sealing the supply and conveyor lines and the conveyor housing from the surroundings when the extruder is in the conveying and bypass positions.
摘要:
A cereal product comprising cereal kernels, wherein the cereal kernels have been at least partially milled and are coated with a coating layer, said coating layer comprising a protein matrix having particles of a dietary fiber ingredient dispersed therein. Also provided is a method of making a fiber-enriched dry cereal product comprising the steps of: coating cereal kernels that have been at least partially milled with particles of a dietary fiber ingredient and an aqueous dispersion containing a protein; followed by drying the coated cereal kernels. The dietary fiber ingredient may be a powdered stabilized cereal bran. The coated cereal products can be cooked in excess water to give cooked products having high dietary fiber content and improved palatability.
摘要:
An improved process for separating and isolating individual polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) on the basis of degree of polymerization. A liquid sample containing polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) is introduced into a liquid chromatography (LC) column packed with a polar bonded stationary chromatographic phase. The individual polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) are separated via a binary mobile phase elution. One or more individual fractions containing the monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) are eluted. The polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) may be proanthocyanidins, hydrolyzable tannins, oligosaccharides, oligonucleotides, peptides, acrylamides, polysorbates, polyketides, poloxarners, polyethylene glycols, polyoxyethylene alcohols or polyvinyl alcohols. The binary mobile phase comprises an A phase consisting essentially of a polar aprotic solvent and a B phase consisting essentially of a polar protic solvent.A process for separating and isolating xanthine(s) (e.g., caffeine and theobromine) from polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s). A liquid sample containing xanthine(s) and polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) is introduced into an LC column packed with a polar bonded stationary chromatographic phase. The xanthines are separated via an isocratic mobile phase elution, and one or more individual fractions containing the xanthines are eluted.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of a non-digestible carbohydrate in the manufacture of a composition for treating or preventing pathogenic bacteria in the large intestine of a pet animal. It also provides a method for the prevention or treatment of a pathogenic bacteria in the large intestine of a pet animal, the method comprising administering to said pet animal a composition which comprises a non-digestible carbohydrate.
摘要:
The present invention relates to indicator granular material, especially for a cat lavatory, in which at least one first granular material is substantially completely coated with a first polymer layer, which is solid at a first pH and is dissolved at a second pH; and also to a cat lavatory and the use of the indicator granular material in a cat lavatory.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a microwavable steamer food pack that includes a container and an insert. The container has a lower portion, an upper portion and a top edge. The insert has a plurality of opening and a pull tab and is positioned between the lower and upper portion of the container. A gelled sauce is in the lower portion of the container and food components are positioned on the insert and extend into the upper portion of the container. A covering is secured to the container. The gelled sauce remains in a solid or semi-solid state and is separate from the food components when the food pack is stored in a vertical position under chilled conditions.
摘要:
This invention is concerned with packaged food products which contain specific combinations of functional additives aimed at addressing specific health indicators, in particular flatulence, gastro-intestinal health, stress and immune system responsiveness, in pet animals. There is provided a commercially packaged mammal pet food product that includes a manufactured, shelf-life stable food substrate and a combination of functional additives. The functional additives include at least one non-palatable plant-based remedy and/or dietary fiber source that are present to strengthen and/or maintain a specified health indicator of a mammal pet animal. The food product is portioned and packaged with the functional additives being present in predetermined concentrations and amounts sufficient to be effective in achieving said indications on regular feeding of the pet animal with said food product. The food substrate is present in a proportion sufficient to mask the flavor and/or odor of the non-palatable additive and is made-up of a unique combination of materials that are able to be processed at lower temperatures to preserve the natural botanical functional additive's activity. Functional additives intended to address dietary flatulence problems include a combination of Yucca extract, charcoal and salts of zinc, such as zinc acetate. Functional additives to promote or maintain gastro-intestinal health include a combination of L-glutamine, D-glucosamine sulphate, sugar beet pulp, slippery elm. Functional additives to strengthen or maintain a pet animal's natural body defenses include a combination of vitamin E, vitamin B complex, primrose oil vitamin C and Marigold meal. Functional additives to promote or maintain reduction of stress and/or improved behavior of a pet animal include a combination of Valerian root extract, Kava root extract, vitamin B complex and magnesium salt.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for the production of polyphenol oligomers having n polyphenol monomeric units, n being an integer from 2-18. The process includes coupling of a protected polyphenol, having protected phenolic hydroxyl groups, with a C-4 functionalized polyphenol monomer. The protected polyphenol may be a protected polyphenol monomer or a protected polyphenol oligomer having 2-17 monomeric units. Advantageously, polyphenol monomeric units forming the polyphenol oligomers may be the same or different flavanoid compounds.
摘要:
Non-pigmented, water-based inks are disclosed which are compatible with industrial piezojet printheads and which can be used to form high resolution images on edible substrates, including sugar shell confectionery polished with a hydrophobic wax polish. The ink comprises a hydrolyzable polysaccharide adhesive agent, such as tapioca dextrin or gum arabic, which enhances the compatibility of the ink for hydrophobic surfaces.
