Abstract: The present invention relates to pulverulent formulations comprising at least one conjugated trans/-cis-octadecapolyenoic acid and also production and use thereof for use in foods, food supplements, feedstuffs, feed additives, pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing oily suspensions of water-soluble vitamins which comprises

Abstract: Stable dry powders which are insoluble in hot water and which contain one or more lipid-soluble vitamins an/or one or more carotenoids are formed in an aqueous dispersion containing 2 to 50% by weight of at least one protein, 1 to 30% by weight of at least one sugar, 0.2 to 20% by weight of K2HPO4, Na2HPO4 or mixtures thereof, 0.1 to 20% by weight of at least one lipoid-soluble vitamin and/or at least one carotenoid and 5 to 95% of water. This dispersion is converted into dry powder which is heated in the range of 55° C. to 1800° C.

Abstract: In a process for preparing dry, free-flowing choline chloride-containing powders by atomizing an aqueous choline chloride solution, a colloid-free aqueous choline chloride solution is atomized in a countercurrent-flowing air stream that contains, finely dispersed, a hydrophobic spraying auxiliary metered in in such amounts that the sprayed choline chloride droplets are coated with 2 to 15% by weight of spraying auxiliary, based on choline chloride calculated as 100%, and the coated particles are, if desired, collected in a fluidized bed and dried in the gas stream.

Abstract: A process for preparing stable dry powders which are insoluble in hot water and which contain fat-soluble vitamins and/or carotenoids, which comprises the following steps:a) preparing an aqueous dispersion containing essentially these fat-soluble active substances, film-forming colloids and reducing sugars,b) converting this dispersion into dry vitamin and/or carotenoid products in powder form andc) thermally curing the powder at from 60.degree. to 180.degree. C.,wherein gelatin in combination with one or more organic amino compounds which are free or bonded in the manner of a salt and which contain a basic primary amino group and, in addition, either another amino group, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group or a carboxyl group, and/or in combination with sufficient basic alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compound for the dispersion to have a pH of from 7.5 to 10, is used as film-forming colloid, and the dry powders obtainable via this process are described.

Abstract: A process for the production of dry, free-flowing, enzyme preparations by spraying aqueous enzyme dispersions, which may contain additives, in a spraying apparatus, which comprises the enzyme dispersion being sprayed in the presence of from 5 to 60% by weight, based on the content of enzyme in the dispersion, of a spray auxiliary composed of hydrophobic silica and/or a metal salt of a higher fatty acid at from 0.degree. to 50.degree. C., and drying the resulting particles loaded with spray auxiliary.

Abstract: Pulverulent products composed of a water-insoluble core substance and of a protective covering, are obtainable bydispersing the core substance in an aqueous solution of amylose or a starch with an amylose content of more than 40% by weight as film-forming polymer for the protective covering,spraying this dispersion using hydrophobic silica as auxiliary andsubsequently drying the sprayed particles.

Abstract: A stable mixture of an oxidation-sensitive compound contains triglycerides, complexing agents and coating substances as well as the oxidation-sensitive compound.

Abstract: 2-(N-Formylamino)-propionitrile is prepared by reacting acrylonitrile with formamide in the presence of a basic compound by a process in which the basic compound used is a tertiary nitrogen base.

Abstract: An improved method of manufacture of 2-methyl-4-amino-5-formylaminomethylpyrimidine (II), wherein a N-substituted or unsubstituted .alpha.-aminomethylene-.beta.-formylaminopropionitrile (I) is reacted with acetamidine.Compound II is an intermediate for the manufacture of vitamin B.sub.1.
