Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound of formula (I1); to a mixture comprising an amount from 86% to 99% by weight measured by quantitative proton-NMR of a compound of formula (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), (IE), (IF), (IG), (IH) and (IJ); and an edible composition and an edible article comprising them. The invention also relates to processes for their preparation and their use as a savoury and mouthfulness taste enhancer; particularly kokumi and/or umami taste enhancer. Formulae (I?) (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), (IE), (IF), (IG), (IH), (IJ).

Abstract: Present invention relates to the use of hydroxytyrosol (HT), maslinic acid (MA) and oleanolic acid (OA) as additive in feed for a domesticated animal at very early days of life or from birth. The invention provides an additive with particular amounts of these three ingredients and an additivated feedstuff ready to use comprising said additive.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a composition comprising a combination of hexanal, 3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienal, and 2,6-dimethyl-5-heptenal wherein: hexanal is in an amount from 0.1 to 4% by weight of the total weight of the composition; 3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienal is in an amount from 5 to 25% by weight of the total weight of the composition; and 2,6-dimethyl-5-heptenal is in an amount from 1 to 8% by weight of the total weight of the composition; to articles containing the composition; as well as its use for counteracting malodours and a process for counteracting malodours.

Abstract: A fire-extinguishing device of the type integrated into an aircraft, is for the controlled transportation and evacuation of fire-fighting material and may be activated from the aircraft while it is in flight, onto the area which is on fire. The fire-extinguishing device comprises at least one closed independent receptacle (3) filled with the fire-fighting material, housed within a container, which is fastened to the aircraft, which includes at least one collapsible outlet hatch for the at least one closed independent receptacle (3) and which, upon opening, frees the gravitational fall of the fire-fighting material. The at least one closed independent receptacle (3) has a built-in fill valve, with an anti-drainback mechanism which guarantees that the at least one closed independent receptacle (3) is leak tight. The built-in fill valve can be accessed through the at least one collapsible outlet hatch.

Abstract: The device for extinguishing fires is built into an aircraft, facilitating the transport of fire-fighting material and the controlled evacuation thereof from the same as it is in flight, onto the area which is on fire. The device comprises at least one closed independent recipient (3) filled with fire-fighting material, which is stored within a container, which is fastened to the aircraft, which includes at least one collapsible output hatchway for the independent recipients (3) and which, upon opening, frees the gravitational fall of fire-fighting material. The independent recipients (3) have built in filling valve (4) pathways, with an anti-drainback mechanism which guarantees it is watertight. In turn, the container is equipped with hatchways, through which the filling valves are accessed from outside.

Abstract: Improved particulate feed additives and methods are provided for enhancing feed utilization efficiency in a ruminant animal by adding to the feed of the animals a particulate feed additive comprising a nonionic surfactant to enhance the utilization of the feed by the animal and a sufficient amount of an antioxidant agent to substantially enhance the shelf life of the feed additive. The methods and compositions result in enhanced weight gain and/or milk production by the animal.
