Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the liquefaction of starch present in a starch slurry comprising degraded starch and having a DE of from 0.05 to 9. Preferably, the invention relates to a process for the liquefaction of starch present in a starch slurry comprising degraded starch, said starch slurry having a high dry substance. Further preferably, the invention relates to a continuous process for liquefaction of starch present in a starch slurry comprising degraded starch and having a high dry substance.

Abstract: A composition is disclosed comprising a partially hydrolyzed cereal protein. The partially hydrolyzed cereal protein is characterized in that 20% to 80% by weight has a molecular weight of 25 kDa or greater 8% by weight or less has a molecular weight of 1.4 kDa or lower and in that it has a nitrogen solubility index of 90% or greater at pH 1 to 10. The preferred cereal protein derives from wheat. Also disclosed is a process for producing the composition comprising providing a slurry having a degree of hydrolysis of 3 to 8, determining the pH, adjusting the pH of the slurry and separating the aqueous-soluble portion of the slurry. Compositions according to the invention find use as milk protein replacements and as components in nutritional supplements, sports drinks, or food products including beverages.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a non-hygroscopic free-flowing product comprising a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic component. Preferred products comprise a hydrophobic protein such as corn gluten meal together with hygroscopic components such as lactose, dextrose and choline such as whey permeate. The present invention further discloses a method for making such a product. Furthermore animal feed compositions containing the non-hygroscopic free-flowing product are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition useful as a protein source for a milk replacer in animal feed. Specifically, the milk replacer is used for pre-ruminant and young ruminant calves, suckling piglets and suckling lambs. The composition consists of a combination of hydrolyzed soya proteins and hydrolyzed wheat gluten. Furthermore, a method is disclosed for obtaining the composition. A process for enhancing animal growth by feeding animals with a milk replacer containing the said composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present process concerns the production of glutamic acid or glutamate. The process of the present invention includes the following steps. Glutamine or glutamic acid rich proteins are hydrolysed. Optionally, the glutamic acid is converted to glutamate and the glutamate is isolated. The protein hydrolysate or the glutamate depleted protein hydrolysate is added to the feedstock of a glutamic acid fermentation in such an amount that the protein hydrolysate forms the major carbon and nitrogen source. After fermentation the glutamic acid is converted to glutamate and the glutamate is isolated.

Abstract: The invention comprises spray dried erythritol which may also be agglomerated. The product is a free-flowing powder which preferably has 60% or more of its particles in the range 10 to 250 microns. The product is useful as a sweetener for which it is particularly adapted to be combined with a synthetic sweetener such as aspartame. The product is also useful in combination with a binder, particularly a potato maltodextrin, as a tabletting composition. The invention also comprises a process for making the product.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for obtaining oil mixtures comprising wheat germ oil characterized in that the oil is obtained by co-pressing of wheat germs with oil containing seeds or germs from at least one other species. The present invention further discloses oil mixtures containing wheat germ oil.
