  • Non-maltogenic exoamylases and their use in retarding retrogradation of starch
    Patent number: 6667065
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for making a bread product. The process includes the addition of a non-maltogenic exoamylase that hydrolyses starch to a starch medium, and the application of heat to the starch medium. The non-maltogenic exomylase cleaves one or more linear malto-oligosaccharides, predominantly consisting of from four to eight D-glucopyranosyl units, from non-reducing ends of amylopectin side chains. The non-maltogenic exoamylase has an endoamylase activity of less than 0.5 endoamylase units (EAU) per unit of exoamylase activity.

  • Inline centrifugal pump
    Patent number: 5807073
    Abstract: An inline centrifugal pump comprising a radial or semiaxial impeller. The rotational axis of the impeller is perpendicular to the flow axis of the connection pieces. A suction channel leading from the suction connection of the pump housing to the suction mouth of the impeller comprises, in the turning region, a conically tapering section which runs towards the suction mouth of the impeller. In this manner the efficiency of the pump can be improved.
