Abstract: In a measuring arrangement for determining properties of a material to be extruded while an extrusion process is being carried out in an extruder, at least one extruder screw is rotatably mounted in a tubular guide in a barrel and is connected to a rotary drive. Material to be extruded is fed to the tubular guide at one end and is removed as finish-extruded material at an oppositely arranged discharge. Arranged at measuring positions at predeterminable defined intervals on the wall of the tubular guide along the longitudinal axis of the extruder screw are multiple first sound transducers, which are designed for the detection of sound waves that are generated during the extrusion process by the extrusion process as process noises and/or are emitted by a second sound transducer, arranged at one end of the tubular guide, in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the extruder screw and into the material to be extruded that is conveyed through a mixing chamber present in the tubular guide.

Abstract: Compositions containing at least one compound of Formula (I) are useful as carriers for at least one active ingredient. In Formula (I), R1 is a monovalent aliphatic radical having 1 to 22 carbon atoms; R2 is in each case independently a hydrogen radical or a methyl radical; n is a number from 1 to 300; and at least one R2 radical is a methyl radical. Methods can be used for storing the active ingredient in the carrier and active ingredient compositions contain both the carrier and the active ingredient. The active ingredient compositions can be used for the treatment of plants, seed, and soils; and can be used as a biostimulant, a probiotic food supplement, a probiotic animal feed additive, a plant protection product, or a probiotic medicament. The active ingredient compositions can be used in corresponding methods of treating plants, seed, or soils.
