Abstract: The invention relates to a mineral salt-free total protein degradation product whose production and use is as a meat flavor precursor and protein source especially in animal feed. By mineral acid hydrolysis, a protein material, preferably from keratin, is obtained with subsequent electrolytic neutralization and reduction.

Abstract: A process for producing colorless, odorless and tasteless cassia endosperm flour is revealed in which the endosperm is extracted at least once, either in a whole or comminuted state, with a mixture of (a) water, and (b) alkanol and/or acetone.

Abstract: Somatostatin derivatives of general Formula I ##STR1## wherein at least one of the residues X represents a moiety, bound to the free amino group of alanine or lysine, of Formula II ##STR2## with R meaning an alkyl group containing 7-23 carbon atoms, and the residues X which may remain mean hydrogen atoms, are pharmacologically active compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to gelling agents and thickeners based on Cassia-galactomannans and especially a synergistic mixture of (a) Cassia-toragalactomannan, and (b) carrageenan, agar and/or xanthan.

Abstract: A dietetic food seasoning is claimed, characterized in that, for its production, vegetable proteins are hydrolyzed with 2 to 7.5 times the amount by weight of 15-30% by weight aqueous hydrochloric acid and/or phosphoric acid at 100.degree. C. to 120.degree. C., the hydrolyzate is optionally treated with active carbon, neutralized with 30-60% by weight aqueous potassium hydroxide solution until a pH value of 4-6.8 has been reached, the resultant mixture is optionally concentrated to a volume of 1.2 to 2.8 liters per kilogram of vegetable protein used, and filtered, after allowing to stand for at least two hours at 10.degree. C. to 30.degree. C.

Abstract: The invention relates to new alkyl ethers and phosphoric acid esters of Cassia tora polygalactomannans and their use, alone or in combination with other thickening agents, as thickening agents.

Abstract: 4-Amino-3-imidazolin-2-one and (2-methoxy-2-iminoethyl) urea are valuable intermediates for the production of pharmacologically active compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to gelling agents and thickeners based on Cassia-galactomannans and comprising a synergistic mixture of (a) Cassia-galactomannan, and (b) carrageenan, agar and/or xanthan.

Abstract: 4-Amino-3-imidazolin-2-one and (2-methoxy-2-iminoethyl)urea are valuable intermediates for the production of pharmacologically active compounds.

Abstract: This invention deals with the removal of starch and starch-containing substances from various fabrics and the like. This is accomplished by simultaneously using an admixture of starch decomposing enzymes and an appropriate surfactant.

Abstract: A sizing agent for yarns made of cotton, regenerated cellulose and synthetic fibers and their mixture. The sizing agent substantially comprises a hydroxyalkylated polysaccharide from the seed of Cassia occidentalis. The polysaccharide has a viscosity of from 40 to 10,000 mPas (10% aqueous solution, 80.degree. C., Brookfield RVT) and a substitution degree of from 0.05 to 1.0.

Abstract: Method for producing 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid where(a) o-chlorophenol is reacted with glyoxylic acid to form 3-chloro-4-hydroxymandelic acid,(b) the 3-chloro-4-hydroxymandelic acid is reduced to 3-chloro-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, and(c) the chloro group is cleaved from the 3-chloro-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid.

Abstract: Chenodeoxycholic acid melting in the range of 168.degree.-171.degree. C. and of such high purity as to be suitable for human therapeutic use is obtained by crystallization from acetonitrile.
