Abstract: A method for selectively separating at least one apolar organic substance, comprises: (a) providing a starting mixture (10) which contains at least one organic substance comprising at least one apolar group and optionally a solvent; (b) bringing the starting mixture into contact with at least one cyclodextrin to obtain a cyclodextrin-aromatic substance complex; and optionally (c) separating the complex from the liquid phase; and (d) treating the separated complex, in particular enzymatically, and optionally filtering the resulting mixture, whereby a composition loaded with at least one organic substance comprising at least one apolar group is obtained. The invention also relates to a composition loaded with at least one organic substance comprising at least one apolar group, and to the use of this composition in order to introduce at least one apolar organic substance into a food, luxury food, cosmetic product, or pharmaceutical product.

Abstract: For coloring foods, nutritional supplements, cosmetic or pharmaceutical products, the invention provides a dye, which contains at least one pigment in the form of a water-insoluble sulfate, carbonate, or phosphate of at least one alkaline earth metal, which is selected from the group consisting of calcium sulfate, magnesium phosphate, calcium phosphate, and magnesium carbonate.

Abstract: A process for producing an aroma-laden gas (10) comprises the following steps: a) providing a liquid phase (5), which contains a solvent and one or several aromatic substances (1, 2, 3); b) guiding through a solid phase extraction column (3) of the liquid phase provided in step (a) by obtaining the solid phase (35) laden with one or several aromatic substances; separating one or several aromatic substances from the laden solid phase by means of at least one gas (2) in a liquid and/or supercritical state; and optionally d) collecting the gas (10), which is laden with one or several aromatic substances (1, 2, 3).

Abstract: A method provides a base for milk substitute products from plant seeds which gives a smooth mouthfeel similar to that of the corresponding product from animal milk. The method comprises the steps of: a) soaking plant seed feedstock in water, and b) high-pressure homogenizing of the liquefied plant seed feedstock at a pressure of at least 800 bar, preferably at least 1000 bar, most preferably at least 2000 bar.

Abstract: A method for preparing an improved gum arabic comprising the steps of providing a gum arabic from Acacia seyal selecting gum arabic having a tannin content >700 ppm (w/w).

Abstract: The invention relates to a nutrient medium, containing 10 to 20 parts by weight of yeast extract, 15 to 30 parts by weight of peptone, 35 to 75 parts by weight of monosaccharides and disaccharides, up to 3 parts by weight of mineral substances, 0.02 to 1 parts by weight of gellan gum, and water.

Abstract: A device for simultaneously filling a plurality of prefabricated cup-like containers having the same height with creamy food compositions, said device consisting of an outer frame which is higher than the upper edge of the containers, and of a cover plate which has a plurality of round openings (wells) conforming to the maximum diameter of the containers, said wells carrying tubular downward extensions which are longer by at least 3 mm, and preferably by 10 mm, than the difference between the height of the containers and the height of the frame.
