Abstract: The invention relates to polynucleotides of 1345 bp and 3704 bp and the like, which comprise at least one phage resistance mechanism and obtainable from the total DNA contained in the Lactococcus lactis ssp cremoris strain deposited in the CNCM under No. I-941.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is a composition for stabilizing a non-milk drink, in particular a drink based on fruits and/or vegetables, comprising insoluble components, the said composition comprising a combination of a pectin and of an alginate in which the ratio of the amount of methylated galacturonic acid (MGA) units of the pectin to the amount of guluronic acid (G) units of the alginate is between 0.30 and 0.70.The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of such a stabilized drink.

Abstract: Objects of the invention is to provide an air freshner composition which has both excellent functional properties such as shrinkage with the passage of time, clear end point and the like and excellent visual decorativeness due to transparency and is used in a space where an offensive smell is generated, such as the interior of rooms including a toilet room, the interior of automobiles and the like. A transparent gelatin gel type air freshner composition is prepared from gelatin, a gelatin cross-linking agent, water, a perfume, a perfume solvent and a surface active agent as starting materials.

Abstract: The invention relates to a polynucleotide of 817 bp comprising at least one phage resistance mechanism and obtainable from the total DNA contained in the Lactococcus lactis ssp cremoris strain deposited in the CNCM under No. I-943.

Abstract: Pectin and Pectocellulosic compositions are prepared by heating and mixing comminuted pectin-containing material to solubilize pectin. Pectin, a pectocellulosic product, or a combination thereof is then recovered. The products produced are incorporated in food and other products.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of gelatin from powdered bone, which consists in subjecting the powdered bone to a first treatment with an acid solution at a temperature below ambient temperature in order to solubilize the phosphates, and then to a second treatment with an acid solution at a temperature of between 60.degree. C. and 85.degree. C. in order to isolate a broth from which the gelatin is extracted. Type A gelatin with a gel strength of more than 300 blooms and a gelling time of less than 100 seconds.
