Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a tableting additive, which method comprises providing a spray dried tableting additive in particulate form which particles at least partially consist of amorphous additive material and at least partially of crystalline additive material; and crystallising the amorphous additive material by subjecting the particles for a short time and under agitation to a temperature between 30 and 100 DEG C at a relative humidity between 60 and 25 %. More in particular, the relationship between relative humidity and temperature is defined by the formula: % relative humidity = 218-47*Ln(T( DEG C)), wherein T( DEG C) is the temperature to which the particles are subjected.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of inhibiting isomerization of a reducing saccharide in an aqueous solution containing said reducing saccharide upon thermal treatment of said aqueous saccharide solution by acidifying the aqueous saccharide solution prior to its thermal treatment, and the use of the thermally treated aqueous solution containing said reducing saccharide for producing a biological product.
Abstract:
An example system for purifying a supply stream including lactose includes a clarification system configured to separate insoluble impurities from the stream to produce a clarified stream. The system includes an adsorption system fluidically coupled to the clarification system. The adsorption system includes an adsorbent resin configured to purify the clarified stream. An example technique for purifying a supply stream including lactose includes separating insoluble impurities from the supply stream to produce a clarified stream and passing the clarified stream over an adsorbent resin to produce a decolorized stream.
Abstract:
An example method for refining lactose may include washing lactose crystals in a lactose stream in an upstream wash stream including an upstream recirculating wash medium. Washed lactose crystals may be sieved from the upstream recirculating wash medium. The upstream recirculating wash medium may be recirculated back to the upstream wash stream. The washed lactose crystals may be discharged to a downstream wash stream comprising a downstream recirculating wash medium. An example system may include a plurality of refining stages. At least one refining stage may include a washing tank including a lactose crystal inlet and a crystal slurry outlet. The refining stage may include a pump to recirculate a wash stream from the crystal slurry outlet back to the washing tank at a predetermined flow rate. The refining stage includes a screen to separate washed lactose crystals from the wash stream.
Abstract:
A system for drying a wet lactose product stream includes a disperser configured to disperse agglomerated lactose particulates in a wet lactose stream into a dispersed wet lactose stream. A back-mixed partial drying zone is configured to at least partially dry the dispersed wet lactose stream by recirculating a partially dried lactose stream with the dispersed wet lactose stream. A plug-flow secondary drying zone is configured to dry the partially dried lactose stream to generate a substantially dried lactose stream.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to powdered nutritional compositions comprising large lipid globules and micronized carbohydrate or carbohydrate microcrystals. Preferably the nutritional composition is an infant or follow on formula or a growing up milk. The invention also pertains to the use of micronized carbohydrate or carbohydrate microcrystals for improving flow and reducing cohesiveness of a powdered nutritional composition with large lipid globules.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to an infant formula powder composition comprising micronized lactose or lactose microcrystals (i) smaller than 30 micrometer, and/or (ii) of which at least 80 % has a size less than 20 micrometer, and/or (iii) at least 80 % has a size less than 10 micrometer, and/or (iv) having a median particle size D50 below 10 micrometer. The invention also pertains to the use of micronized lactose or lactose microcrystals for improving flow of an infant formula powder composition.
Abstract:
This invention describes the use of mutarotase (also known as aldose-1-epimerase) in a process for carbohydrate crystallization. Preferably the carbohydrate is a reducing sugar, more preferably the carbohydrate is lactose. The mutarotase can be obtained from an organism, preferably a micro-organism, more preferably from a fungus, even more preferably from a fungus of the genus Aspergillus, most preferably from Aspergillus niger. Carbohydrate crystallization can be performed from a pure, partly purified or a crude solution of carbohydrate. In general, carbohydrates are first concentrated into a supersaturated solution, after which temperature decreases and optional seeding with carbohydrate crystals initiate crystallization. Mutarotase is preferably added before or during the crystallization process.
