Patent number: 11089797Abstract: The present invention is in the field of the flavouring of foods. In particular, the present invention is directed to a process for the encapsulation of flavours and/or aromas. The particles are then later incorporated into the end preparation (the food), such as, for example, instant coffee. The focus is in particular firstly to obtain particles with high aroma loading in order to ensure a long-lasting aroma protection during storage, and secondly to control the particle properties in such a way that an optimum miscibility of the particles with foods is made possible. Decisive aspects in this connection are primarily shape, size and particle density. These aspects together are intended to bring about an improved taste experience for the end consumer when consuming the particles.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2016Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Symrise AGInventors: Jens-Michael Hilmer, Eric Gruber, Dirk Schrader, Walter Bröckel

Patent number: 9433235Abstract: Described is a solubilization agent for solubilizing polyphenols, flavonoids and/or diterpenoid glucosides in aqueous liquids, wherein the solubilization agent consists of a mixture of: (a) one emulsifying polymer or a mixture of two, three or more emulsifying polymers, (b) one saponin or a mixture of two, three or more saponins, (c) one partially or fully water-miscible, preferably liquid, solvent or a mixture of partially or fully water-miscible, preferably liquid, solvents, preferably selected from the group consisting of ethanol, propylene glycol (1,2-propanediol), glycerin, triacetin (glycerin triacetate), diacetin (glycerin diacetate) and triethyl citrate, and (d) water. The solubilization agent is particularly suitable for sparingly water soluble polyphenols, flavonoids and/or diterpenoid glucosides. The invention also relates to compositions and (food or cosmetic) formulations comprising said solubilization agent.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2011Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: SYMRISE AGInventors: Dirk Schrader, Thomas Riess, Cornelia Homner, Christopher Sabater-Lüntzel

Patent number: 8795757Abstract: Described is a composition comprising (i) an aqueous phase comprising water, one, two or more co-solvents selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol, ethanol, triacetin, and glycerol, and optionally one, two or more sugars, preferably selected from the group consisting of sucrose, fructose, and glucose, (ii) a surfactant system comprising one saponin or a mixture of two, three or more saponins, and lecithin, and (iii) an oil phase comprising (or consisting of) one, two, three or more substances selected from the group consisting of flavorants, vitamins, coloring foodstuffs, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, wherein the composition does not comprise a polyclycerol fatty acid ester. Further described is a method of preparing such composition and a corresponding food formulation.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Symrise AGInventors: Dirk Schrader, Cornelia Homner, Christopher Sabater-Lüntzel

Patent number: 7986061Abstract: An electrical switching device has a first interrupter unit for interrupting and connecting an electrical line, in particular an air-insulated grounding switch. A method for switching an air-insulated grounding switch assures that no arc owing to a voltage flashover is produced on the air-insulated grounding switch. A second interrupter unit, which is connected in parallel with the first interrupter unit, can be switched such that resultant striking of an arc during switching only takes place in the second interrupter unit.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2007Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Siemens AktiengesekkschaftInventors: Torsten Kuntze, Carsten Protze, Dirk Schräder
