  • Patent number: 12337277
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for regenerating a rich MEG aqueous solution (100), recovering a maximum amount of MEG while at the same time removing the carboxylic acid salts, including: a) vacuum evaporation of the solution (100) in a unit (1000); b) optional precipitation in a tank (1002) of the inorganic salts of a portion (105) of the liquid residue enriched in MEG and in salts (104) obtained from a); c) removal of the precipitated inorganic salts in a solid/liquid separation unit (1003); d) sending all or part (114) of the liquid effluent (112) obtained from c) into a separation unit (1004) different from the unit (1000) to form, notably, an MEG stream depleted in carboxylic acid salts or in carboxylic acids (115); e) recycling of said stream (115) into step a).

  • Publication number: 20240057651
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional formulation of yoghurt type, a cream, a dessert cream, an iced dessert or sorbet and a cheese and containing a pea protein isolate, characterized in that the pea protein isolate: contains between 0.5 and 2% of free amino acids, has a viscosity: from 13 to 16×10?3 Pa·s. at a shear rate of 10 s?1, from 10 to 14×10?3 Pa·s. at shear rate of 40 s?1, and from 9.8 to 14×10?3 Pa·s. at a shear rate of 600 s?1, has a solubility: from 30 to 40% in pH zones from 4 to 5 from 40 to 70% in pH zones from 6 to 8. The invention also relates to the use of this nutritional formulation as a single protein source or as a food supplement, intended for infants, children and/or adults.
