Abstract: A solid product composition includes at least one salt of a cation derived from lysine with an anion derived from a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid. The solid product composition is formed by (i) providing a starting composition containing at least one polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid component; (ii) providing a lysine composition; and (iii) admixing an aqueous, an aqueous-alcoholic or an alcoholic solution of starting composition and lysine composition, and subjecting resulting admixture to spray drying conditions subsequently, thus forming the solid product composition containing at least one salt of a cation derived from lysine with an anion derived from a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid.

Abstract: The absorption of CO2 from a gas mixture by contacting the gas mixture with an absorption medium that comprises water and 5 to 50 wt % of amino acid salts of formula R1R2CHNHCH2COOK, in which R1 and R2 are n-alkyl radicals and the radicals R1 and R2 together have 2 to 4 carbon atoms, affords a high CO2 absorption capacity per unit weight in the cyclical operation of absorption and desorption.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with the formation of amide bonds. More specifically, the present invention, relates to processes for the manufacture of organogellant compounds (OG) as depicted below wherein L is selected from C2-C20 alkyl, C6-C20 aryl, C7-C20 alkylaryl, R1 are side chain substituents and one of X1, X2 is nitrogen and the other two are carbon. Processes of the present invention employ reaction mixtures with beneficial flow characteristics allowing sufficient agitation of all parts of these reaction mixtures and thus achieving adequate mixing of reaction partners and/or dissipation of heat. The beneficial flow characteristics are achieved by using suitable activation for coupling the terminal pyridine-carboxylic acid.
