  • Continuous production of an adsorption product of a nitrooxy-functional organic compound
    Patent number: 11758925
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the continuous production of an adsorption product of a nitrooxy-functional organic compound adsorbed on the surface of a particulate adsorbent material, the process comprising the steps of: continuously feeding particulate adsorbent material into an elongated cavity; continuously conveying the material within the cavity in a downstream direction; continuously spraying a liquid adsorbate onto the particulate adsorbent material, wherein the liquid adsorbate comprises the nitrooxy-functional organic compound; continuously agitating the mixture thus obtained to form the adsorption product; and continuously removing the adsorption product from the cavity. The invention further relates to an adsorption product obtained by such process and the use of such adsorption product in ruminant nutrition.

  • Coated particles
    Patent number: 11744266
    Abstract: The present patent application relates to novel red-orange coated particles, which are mainly used in (dry) formulations for instant beverages. The advantage of these coated particles is that they are red to orange as such (also in the formulations for instant beverages, wherein they can be identified by the naked eye as individual discrete colored particles), but upon dissolution of the instant beverage powder, the particles will dissolve as well and will not interfere with or change the intended color of the ready-to drink instant beverages made from the instant beverage dry powders.
