Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing foil-ripened cheese comprising (i) introducing brined cheese into a cheese-ripening packaging containing an opening for receiving cheese, (ii) closing the packaging, and (iii) ripening the cheese, characterized in that the cheese-ripening packaging comprises a thermoplastic film coated with an antimicrobial composition comprising a binding agent and at least one antimicrobial compound, whereby (a) said binding agent swells, softens or dissolves in the water that is released from the cheese during its ripening, (b) the antimicrobial composition becomes part of the water phase that, due to ripening, becomes present between the outer cheese surface and the packaging, (c) the antimicrobial compound is able to migrate in the water phase and (d) antimicrobial compound is transferred to the outer cheese surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polyene antifungal compositions and methods for preparing them. In addition, the invention pertains to the use of the compositions to prevent products from fungal growth.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing a suspension of micronised particles of a solid organic compound, which method comprises subjecting the solid organic compound to size reduction by wet grinding under pH conditions wherein the intrinsic surface charge of the size-reduced organic compound is sufficient to keep the suspension stable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stabilized enzyme composition comprising a polyol and an acrylamide polymer thickening agent. The concentration of the polyacrylamide in the composition varies from 0.05 to 15 wt. %.

Abstract: A stabilized enzyme composition comprising an amount of at least one enzyme, an amount of a polyol for stabilizing the enzyme and an amount of an acrylamide polymer thickening agent, characterized in that as the acrylamide polymer use is made of a —(CH2CR(CONH2)— polymer, in which R is either hydrogen or a methyl group. The concentration of the polyacrylamide in the composition varies from 0.05 to 15 wt %.
