Abstract: A method of improving livestock performance that includes administering a synergistic composition including a bioavailable methionine compound and at least one essential oil, as a feed additive to livestock. Improved livestock performance includes improved livestock growth, viability, homogeneity, production efficiency, or any combination thereof.
Abstract: The invention concerns a food composition, designed to complement animal feed in methionine, said composition having a synergistic bactericidal effect on the bacterial activity of the bowel flora. Said food composition of bioavailable methionine comprises: a) a bioavailable methionine compound and b) at least one essential oil.
Abstract: A process for purifying an aqueous solution to obtain purified gaseous acrolein by introducing the aqueous solution into a distillation column equipped at its base with at least one boiler and at its top with at least one condenser, withdrawing a liquid mixture essentially containing water at the base of the distillation column, withdrawing a gas essentially containing acrolein and water at the top of the distillation column, cooling the gas mixture withdrawn at the top of the distillation column in the condenser, to a temperature which makes it possible to obtain, on the one hand, an aqueous condensate and, on the other hand, an acrolein-rich gas mixture, and withdrawing the acrolein-rich gas mixture.

Abstract: Process for the Production of 3-methylthiopropanal. A process for the production of 3-methylthiopropanal which reacting reaction medium comprising methyl mercaptan and acrolein in the presence of a catalyst comprising an organic base characterised in that the organic base is a N-alkyl morpholine compound.
Abstract: An enzymatic catalyst in the granular form which is non-dispersible in water comprising an inner core provided with a coating which coating comprises an enzymatic material characterised in that the coating has a thickness of from 30 to 400 microns and the ratio of the size of the core to the thickness of the coating is from 2 to 20. A method for the preparation of the catalyst and the use of the catalyst in the conversion of 2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butyronitrile to ammonium 2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butanoate is also claimed.
