Abstract: A nucleic acid suitable for reducing the enzymatic activity of an invertase for configuring a sucrose storage organ of a plant, wherein the sucrose concentration is increased relative to the sucrose concentration of an unchanged control sucrose storage organ of the same genotype at a comparable stage of development. The increase in sucrose concentration by X percentage points can thereby lead to a changed or unchanged sucrose storage organ yield, wherein, in the case of a reduction in the sucrose storage organ yield, the reduction is a maximum of 5X percent. The invention further relates to a method for increasing the sucrose yield in agricultural production of sugar beet or sugar cane plants, wherein sugar beet or sugar cane plants are used, the genetic makeup thereof being set up for reducing the enzymatic activity of an invertase.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for evaporating liquid hydrocarbon compounds or liquids in which at least one hydrocarbon compound is contained and to a use of same. It is the object of the invention to provide an apparatus for evaporating hydrocarbon compounds or liquids in which such compounds are contained, wherein the vapor formed can be provided with a very small pressure difference and in a suitable consistency. A heating apparatus with which a heating can be achieved above the boiling temperature of the respective hydrocarbon compound or of a liquid is present at the apparatus. The hydrocarbon compound or the liquid flows through at least one hollow space which is formed in a body or in a structure and the body or the structure is formed from a ceramic material which is inert for the respective hydrocarbon compound and/or for chemical compounds or chemical elements contained in the liquid.

Abstract: A method produces starch or starch-containing products from starch-containing plant raw materials. The method is distinguished by the inclusion of an electric pulse method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing trehalulose and isomaltulose wherein at least the trehalulose-forming enzyme system of a trehalulose-forming microorganism is contacted with a sucrose solution to convert it into trehalulose and isomaltulose in the weight ratio of at least 4:1.
