Abstract: The invention relates to the use of the disaccharide derivatives 3?-aminosucrose, sucrose-C6-acid and palatinose-C6?-acid and/or of an amide or alkyl ester thereof for the prevention or treatment of hyperglycemias.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to an improved marking fluid that contains a sugar and/or a sugar alcohol, as well as methods for their manufacture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production and use of enteral nutrients, particularly an enteral solution, wherein this method is distinguished by a particularly gentle processing, particularly of the carbohydrate components contained in the solution.

Abstract: The invention relates to the industrial conversion of carbohydrates, alcohols, aldehydes or polyhydroxy compounds in aqueous phase. According to the invention a catalytic method is used for the conversion, using a metal catalyst consisting of polymer-stabilized nanoparticles. A catalyst of this type is not deactivated by the conversion reaction as long as the stabilizing interaction between the polymer and the nanoparticles is maintained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method of producing agglomerates and compressed products containing isomaltulose and/or hydrogenated isomaltulose.

Abstract: The invention concerns improved sugar-free products, their production and use, in particular, coated products, their production and use. The products are characterized by their content in enriched mixtures of 1-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannitol (1,1-GPM) and 6-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol (1,6-GPS).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing an improved compressed product, wherein agglomeration of the ingredients is induced. This invention also relates to a compressed product produced by this method.

Abstract: The invention relates to starch, derived from amylopectin potatoes, which is preferably in a modified and/or derivatised form. Said starch is an especially advantages protective colloid for use in conducting emulsion polymerization reactions. The invention also relates to emulsion [co]polymerization methods and polymer dispersions produced thereby.

Abstract: The inventions relates to a dragee chewing sweet with a soft caramel core and a dragee coating, whereby the chewing sweet contains a sweetener mixture that is sugar-free.

Abstract: Acylated carbohydrates with at least one carboxyalkyl group etherified with the carbohydrate of the following general formulaKH(--O--CHR.sub.1 --(CH.sub.2).sub.p --(COOH or COO.sup.-)).sub.n (--O--CO--R.sub.2).sub.m,wherein KH (carbohydrate) is a monosaccharide, disaccharide, trisaccharide or polysaccharide, and whereinif KH is a monosaccharide, then n=1 to 4 and m=1 to 4 with n+m=2 to 5;if KH is a disaccharide, then n=1 to 7 and m=1 to 7 with n+m=2 to 8;if KH is a trisaccharide, then n=1 to 10 and m=1 to 10 with n+m=2 to 11; andif KH is a polysaccharide, then n=0.2 to 2.8 and m=0.2 to 2.8 with n+m=0.4 to 3 (with polysaccharide referred to the monosaccharide unit of the KH), and whereinR1 is=H or a moiety with 1-9 carbon atoms, in particular an alkyl or acyl moiety, andR2 is a moiety with 1-9 carbon atoms, in particular an alkyl or acyl moiety, and wherein p=0 to 9.

Abstract: The invention relates to sucrose isomerases, to DNA sequences coding therefor, and to novel processes for producing noncariogenic sugars.

Abstract: The invention relates to aliphatic carboxylate esters of long-chain inulin, to methods for synthesizing them and to their use as surface-active substances.

Abstract: The invention relates to sucrose isomerases, to DNA sequences coding therefor, and to novel processes for the production of non-cariogenic sugars.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a sweetener, in which sucrose is converted enzymatically into a saccharide mixture which is called "isomerized sucrose" and has a disaccharide content of more than 85% by weight, then non-isomerized remaining sucrose is removed from the latter by enzymatic and/or H.sup.+ ion-catalyzed cleavage, and this product is catalytically hydrogenated. Preferably either before or after the catalytic hydrogenation, the resulting mixture is subjected to a chromatographic separation. The sweeteners prepared by this process contain either a mixture of 10 to 50% by weight of 6-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol; 2 to 20% by weight of 1-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol; and 30 to 70% by weight of 1-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannitol or of 5 to 10% by weight of 6-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol; 30 to 40% by weight of 1-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol; and 45 to 60% by weight of 1-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannitol.
