Abstract: The invention relates to a process comprising (a) providing a quantity of plant material; (b) heating the material of (a) in aqueous medium to a temperature of 75 to 105° C.; (c) physically disrupting the material of (b); (d) processing the physically disrupted material of (c) to enrich for cells and/or cell clusters; and (e) drying the material of (d). The invention also relates to a product, which comprises at least 30% or more intact plant cells, which comprises 15% or less water by weight, which has a particle size in the range 75-500 ?m, characterised in that the product comprises at least 30% resistant starch as a proportion of total starch. The invention also relates to foodstuffs.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds, including peptides, which comprise theanine and/or theanine-like moieties. These compounds may deliver the physiological effects of theanine and/or offer enhanced storage stability. Also provided is a process for manufacturing the compounds by reacting theanine or a derivative thereof with at least one amino acid or a derivative thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides unique material systems and methods for 3D printing of articles having enhanced strength and durability. The powder systems comprise a water-soluble crosslinkable agent, and alternatively or additionally, a strengthening component. Preferably, the crosslinkable agent is selected from the group consisting of amino resins, phenol resins, and mixed amino/phenol resins. The strengthening component melts and flows when heated, and resolidifies or cures. Preferably, the strengthening component melts, flows and cures with heat.
