Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the moisture resistance of dry powder formulations for inhalation which contain a pharmaceutically ineffective carrier of not-inhalable particle size and a finely divided pharmaceutically active compound of inhalable particle size and to also improve the storage stability of said formulations. To this end, magnesium stearate is used in said formulations. On of the features of the inventive dry powder is that a high fine particle dosage or fine particle fraction can be maintained also under relatively extreme temperature and humidity conditions.

Abstract: Calcium salts, magnesium salts and zinc salts of palmitic acid and of stearic acid are suited for use as solid auxiliary agents for medical suspension aerosol formulations based on hydrofluoroalkanes. They improve, in particular, the suspension stability, the mechanical function of the dosing valve, the dosing precision, and the chemical stability of the active substance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of a natural mushroom extract by addition of an enzyme composition to a mushroom preparation.

Abstract: In a phase matching circuit for generating a system clock signal for an incoming data signal from a locally existing clock signal, a delay signal is calculated from the detected phase position of the data signal in that a memory addressed with the detected phase position outputs an allocated delay signal. In a specific embodiment, the memory is supplied with an address that is compensated by the most recently identified delay. In a further development, a control comprising the memory shares circuits for a number of data signals. The phase matching, which automatically recognizes a jitter compatibility more suitable for the clocking than the jitter compatibility employed at the moment, can be completely integrated and avoids circuit areas that are operated with a higher bit repetition rate than that of the clock signal.

Abstract: A pressure-liquefied propellant mixture for aerosols, comprising dinitrogen monoxide and a hydrofluoroalkane having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, in particular 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane and/or 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane, makes possible an improvement in the wetting properties of pharmaceutically active compounds, whereby the formulation problems existing with hydrofluoroalkanes can be overcome with respect to suspension and solution aerosols and thus improved medicinal aerosol formulations can be obtained. With the aid of dinitrogen monoxide, it is also possible to influence the pressure and thus the particle size distribution specifically and, by displacement of oxygen from the hydrofluoroalkanes, to improve the storage stability of oxidation-sensitive active compounds. If desired, the propellant mixture can additionally contain carbon dioxide.

Abstract: The use of solid, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of cromoglycic acid and/or nedocromil as carriers in a therapeutically and prophylactically inefficacious amount in suspension aerosol formulations of pharmaceutical active compounds improves the dispersion properties, increases the chemical and physical stability of moisture-sensitive active compounds, makes possible a more accurate dosage, in particular even of low-dose active compounds, and as a rule permits the abandonment of surface-active agents.

Abstract: A process for producing a seasoning sauce, in which a microbial starter culture is cultured on a substrate containing an animal protein source to give a koji and is then mashed and further fermented. Soy sauce technology can be successfully carried out on an animal raw material, without the disadvantages conventionally resulting in this case occurring, if the raw material used is smoked pork rind, in particular a smoked rind residue as arises in the production of smoked ham, preferably together with a vegetable protein source and/or carbohydrate source. This provides a soy sauce having a novel flavor with a full meaty to grilled flavor.

Abstract: The invention makes available a process for preparing a protein hydrolysate from protein containing animal products, in which process the animal products are hydrolysed using endopeptidases and exopeptidases. The process is characterized in that smoked, protein containing animal products are employed as protein containing animal products. By using smoked, protein containing animal products, a protein hydrolysate can be produced which does not have the bitter flavor which arises during the customary hydrolysis of protein containing animal products. Smoked pork rind is preferably employed for the hydrolysis.

Abstract: Seasoning sauce based on lupins which has a higher degree of protein breakdown and a higher degree of hydrolysis than comparable seasoning sauces from the prior art. The seasoning sauce can be obtained by subjecting lupins, together with a carbohydrate source, preferably wheat, to a solid culture with addition of Aspergillus oryzae as starter culture. The resulting koji is mashed with addition of brine and is fermented after addition of a yeast starter culture, preferably Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, and then subjected to ripening.

Abstract: A process for the production of a seasoning sauce, which comprises oat grains as the substrate to result in a lighter colored sauce. Additionally, the level of salt present during a multi-step fermentation is controlled using a relatively low salt brine.

Abstract: A process for the production of a seasoning sauce in which an enzyme-containing, fungus-covered substrate comprising divided bread of wheat gluten. The substrate is mashed with salt water, the mash is subjected to a three stage fermentation and then clarified by squeezing pasturing and filtration.

Abstract: A suspension for a vehicle includes a displacer which can be actuated by the relative motions between a vehicle wheel and the vehicle body. The displacer includes a working space or chamber containing a flow medium connected by at least one throttle to one of at least two springs which can be loaded by the flow medium. The two springs have different load-dependent spring rate changes whereby the distribution of the volume proportions of flow medium displaced to the springs differs depending on the static flow medium pressure. At least one throttle which operates as a function of load is placed in front of the less progressive spring.
