Abstract: Process for fractionating carbohydrate-containing materials, such as molasses, by contact with an ion exclusion resin wherein a first portion of the material and a second, less dense portion of the material are sequentially fed to the resin. This scheme of adding the carbohydrate-containing material to the column of ion exclusion resin lessens the channeling problem. Also, a process for treating molasses comprising adding ferric ions to the molasses to form a precipitate and passing the so-treated molasses through an ion exclusion resin.

Abstract: An intimate, co-dried mixture of a major amount of tricalcium phosphate and a minor amount of locust bean gum is useful for the preparation of tablets by the direction compression technique. The mixture is blended with an active material and, if desired, fillers, disintegrating agents and lubricants, and the resulting blend is compressed without prior granulation or slugging to form a tablet containing at least about 10 weight per cent of the co-dried mixture.
