Abstract: The invention relates to methods for producing supported gold catalysts from a porous metal oxide support and a chloroauric acid precursor, wherein the support is placed in contact with the aqueous solution of the chloroauric acid precursor. The invention also relates to a metal oxide supported gold catalyst and its use in the oxidation of alcohols, aldehydes, polyhydroxy compounds and carbohydrates.

Abstract: The invention relates to solubilizers for metal ions and poorly soluble metal compounds, containing an oxidation product of starch hydrolysate as a solubilizing agent, to a method for solubilizing metal ions and to the use of said solubilizer.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of lactobionic acid, lactobionic-?-lactone, a salt of lactobionic acid or a mixture thereof as flavour enhancer, in particular where the flavour that is enhanced is chosen from the group consisting of: acidic flavours, fruit flavours, sweet flavours, savoury flavours, and salt flavours. The invention further relates to a food composition comprising a flavour-enhancing system, characterised in that the flavour-enhancing system comprises lactobionic acid, lactobionic-?-lactone, a salt of lactobionic acid or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of additives or adjuncts, especially additives that have an antioxidant effect and antioxidants, for food products, animal feed, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The present invention above all provides an improved antioxidant agent for food products, animal feed, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals and also provides compositions that include this antioxidant agent as preferably the sole supplementary additive that has an antioxidant effect.

Abstract: The invention concerns an improved method for purification of raw sugar beet juice, which is obtained by extraction from sugar beets, and to devices for purification of raw sugar beet juice. The invention further concerns a method for producing sucrose syrup or sucrose from raw sugar beet raw.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for producing supported gold catalysts from a porous metal oxide support and a chloroauric acid precursor, wherein the support is placed in contact with the aqueous solution of the chloroauric acid precursor. The invention also relates to a metal oxide supported gold catalyst and its use in the oxidation of alcohols, aldehydes, polyhydroxy compounds and carbohydrates.

Abstract: The present invention relates to mixtures and products containing L-carnitine and a low-glycemic sucrose isomer, methods production of same, and uses of the mixtures.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of isomaltulose as a taste-decreasing (e.g., aftertaste-reducing) agent, and to sweetener mixtures in which isomaltulose decreases the duration of taste by, for example, reducing the duration of aftertaste.

Abstract: This invention concerns a method for enzymatic preparation of 6-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol (1,6-GPS) from isomaltulose. It is specified that the isomaltulose is put into an aqueous reaction solution containing a unit having sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) activity, incubated, and then 1,6-GPS is recovered from the reaction solution.

Abstract: The invention relates to foodstuff and animal feed which contain resistant starch on the basis of water-insoluble linear ?-1,4-D-glucans. The invention also related to the utilization of resistant starch on the basis of water-insoluble linear ?-1,4-D-glucans as medicaments.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production and use of enteral nutrients, particularly an enteral solution, wherein this method is distinguished by a particularly gentle processing, particularly of the carbohydrate components contained in the solution.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gel based on poly-?-1,4-D-glucan and, optionally, on starch as well as on a swelling agent, to a method for the production thereof, and to the use of a gel of this type.

Abstract: The invention relates to starch, derived from amylopectin potatoes, which is preferably in a modified and/or derivatised form. Said starch is an especially advantages protective colloid for use in conducting emulsion polymerization reactions. The invention also relates to emulsion [co]polymerization methods and polymer dispersions produced thereby.
