Abstract: This invention relates to the use of an acidic soft drink for improving the efficiency of gluten digestion and more specifically of a gluten-digesting enzyme supplement. Said use allows maintaining or enhancing gastrointestinal comfort in celiac or non-celiac gluten sensitive individuals, or delaying the onset of gastrointestinal discomfort in non-celiac gluten sensitive healthy individuals using a reduced amount of gluten-digesting enzyme. Furthermore, it relates to an acidic soft drink having a pH in the range of 2 to 3.5 for use to support gluten digestion, and to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort following the ingestion of a gluten-containing meal by a gluten-sensitive consumer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roll coating process for applying a coating layer on a non-continuous sheet, comprising the steps of 1) applying a liquid coating composition to the top surface of the sheet by passing the sheet horizontally between an applicator roll and a backing roll; 2) forwarding the coated sheet with a coated sheet forwarder; wherein forwarding is interrupted after passing the applicator roll while maintaining a meniscus of liquid coating composition between stopped sheet and rotating applicator roll, and forwarding is restarted when the meniscus has disappeared. With this process it is possible to make sheets coated with an optical coating like an anti-reflective coating, which sheets show markedly smaller and less visible edge defects, especially at the trailing edge.
