Abstract: Coating colors having a dextrin having high amylopectin content. When such a dextrin is used in the form of an adhesive, it confers an excellent stability on the adhesive. When the adhesive is subsequently incorporated in the coating color, it makes it possible to adjust the Brookfield viscosity thereof, while providing a good compromise between water retention and rheological behavior at high shear gradient. Also, the use of such dextrin for the manufacture of a coating color. Further, a process for the manufacture of a paper or of a cardboard coated on at least one its face with a coating color, and papers and cardboards thus obtained.

Abstract: A method for in-line control of the integrity of a filtering system implemented during an industrial process including the filtering of a gas through the filtering system, the filtering system including at least one filtering cartridge, the method including at least the following steps: —a measurement step (S1) which involves measuring a pressure difference ?P representative of the pressure loss caused by the filtering system (F1; F2), —a testing step (S2, S3) which involves comparing the measurement (S1) with a predefined high threshold (Sh) and a predefined low threshold (Sb), in such a way as to consider the at least one filtering cartridge to be non-compliant when the pressure difference measured in the measurement step (S1) falls outside a range located between the high threshold (Sh) and the low threshold (Sb).

Abstract: The present invention relates to maltooligosaccharides, the content of ?-1,4-glycosidic bonds of which is between 70% and 80% of the total number of 1,4-type glycosidic bonds. The invention also relates to the method for manufacturing these maltooligosaccharides. Said maltooligosaccharides afford all the benefits of fiber-based foods, with an extremely low nutritional value. Such a compromise is particularly advantageous for use in healthy balanced diets, but also in the treatment and/or prevention of the pathology of diabetes. The invention also relates to the use of said maltooligosaccharides in the fields of human food and animal feed.
