Abstract: Intragastric device intended to be inserted into a gastric cavity to restrict its capacity. To contribute to optimal adaptation, its design is based on the principle of neutral buoyancy. The device comprises an inner core and an outer covering (2). The inner core consists of a closed chamber (1) and a first valve (4) connecting the inside of the chamber (1) to the outside, through which a pressurised fluid is introduced into the chamber (1). The outer covering (2) comprises a first cavity (5), in which the core is housed, and a second valve (7), through which a volume of fluid is introduced into the free space of the cavity not occupied by the chamber (1). This fluid in the first cavity (5) is at a different pressure to that of the fluid introduced into the chamber (1).

Abstract: A method of enhancing the sweetness of sweetener in a food or beverage product comprising adding Naringenin to the product in an amount of 50 ppm to 200 ppm by weight of the total weight of the product wherein the naringenin does not block the bitter taste of the product when compared to the beverage without naringenin. Also provided here is a food or beverage product comprising naringenin in an amount of from 50 to 200 ppm, by weight, of the total weight of the product, and a sweetener wherein the product is not a product selected from coffee, tea, a cosmetic and a pharmaceutical.

Abstract: tract: The present invention relates to the use of a compound of Formula (I) or a stereoisomer or salt thereof, wherein R1 is a saccharide consisting of 1 or 2 monosaccharide units as taste masker and to taste-masking compositions containing said compounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sweetening composition comprising neohesperidin dihydrochalcone (NHDC) and gamma-cyclodextrin, to the use of the sweetening composition for sweetening ingestible products, namely, food products and pharmaceuticals, and to an ingestible product comprising the sweetening composition. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to the use of a composition comprising neohesperidin dihydrochalcone and a cyclodextrin selected from beta-cyclodextrin and gamma-cyclodextrin as taste-masking agent, to a process for masking unpleasant tastes in ingestible products, namely in food products and pharmaceuticals, and to ingestible products which comprise unpleasantly tasting substances and the taste-masking composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of naringin, its aglycone form naringenin or mixtures thereof in the modulation of the expression of some specific gene receptors in ruminants and/or pigs which positively impact on feeding behaviour, intake patterns and animal behaviour.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flavour composition for animal feed comprising a mixture of esters, ketones and aldehydes. The invention also relates to liquid and solid flavouring compositions containing this flavouring mixture, to an animal feed containing this flavouring mixture and to its use as an additive for creep feed diets, especially for suckling swine and cattle.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a local content to a viewer in the form of an animation sequence. A micro program may be data-cast to a receiver to provide national and local content to a number of receiver units that may be located at, e.g., a cable headend or other distribution point. The micro program executes, at least in part, on each receiver unit. If the micro program is relevant to the receiver unit, then the micro program executes to completion. The micro program may include a code representative of local conditions that is mapped by the local receiver unit to a library of animation graphics used to create an animation sequence to convey the local conditions to a viewer. For example, the local conditions may be weather conditions and the animation sequence conveys how the weather will feel or affect a viewer.

Abstract: The invention refers to the use of a mixture of naringin, bitter orange extract and sepiolite to improve ruminal fermentation in ruminants.
