Abstract: The present invention is in the field of a Food supplement for Alzheimer. Alzheimer's disease (AD), and likewise associated or similar discomforts, is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gradually worsens over time. The present invention provides a food supplement for preventing Alzheimer's disease, for delaying Alzheimer's disease, for decline of ageing, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: A method for processing natural or synthetic leather by using super-critical CO2. The leather can be dried leather, low grade leathers, thin leather, crust leathers, finished leathers, wet blue leathers, and tanned leather, as well as synthetic leather. In a second aspect the invention relates to leather obtained by said method, and in a third aspect to a stand-alone apparatus for performing said method.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing a composition of lipophilic compounds using extraction using liquid carbon dioxide or supercritical carbon dioxide as an extractant, said method comprising providing at least one first matrix, selecting at least one second matrix comprising at least one terpene or at least one flavonoid compound that is detectable in said composition of lipophilic compounds, for providing a fingerprint in said composition of lipophilic compounds, said fingerprint at least defined by said at least one terpene or at least one flavonoid compound.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for microencapsulating a natural ingredient in an encapsulation material, comprising: mixing said natural ingredient for microencapsulation in a first liquid for providing a first mixture; mixing said encapsulation material in a second liquid for providing a second mixture, said first liquid and second being substantially immiscible, in particular displaying phase separation after being mixed; preparing a microemulsion from said first mixture and said second mixture using mechanical shear forces; spraying said microemulsion through a nozzle into a high-pressure vessel while drying it under continuously circulating supercritical CO2 to a powder having a particle size of between 0.1 and 100 microns, in particular between 0.1 and 10 microns.
