PROCESS FOR P R O D U C I N G G L U C O S E / F R U C T O S E SYRUPS FROM UNREFINED STARCH HYDROLYSATES Louis S. Hurst; Norman E. Lloyd, assigned to Nabisco Brands lnc A glucose/fructose syrup is produced by enzymatically isomerizing an unrefined starch hydrolysate. The hydrolysate is prepared under controlled liquefaction and saccharification conditions to provide an isomerization substrate wherein the conc e n t r a t i o n s of calcium ions and nonenzymatically generated ketose sugars are maintained at low levels.

SELF-DEGRADING COMPOSITION A N D F O D D E R Sandor Piukovich; Lajos Stankovics; Tibor Kiralyhidi, Budapest, Hungary, assigned to Chinoin Gyogyszer es Vegyeszeti Termekek Gyara Rt The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a self-degrading composition suitable for use in feeding a n d : o r feed-conversing purposes and if desired for the conversion thereof into a self-degrading fodder mixture which comprises pre-degrading the starch being present in cereal fodder and/or maize fodder to an extent that the degradation index of the crop should be from 0. 12 to 0.27, and thereafter admixing the so-called available starch thus obtained in finely ground form in optional order of succession with alphaamylase and optionally with further additives and - - if self-degrading fodder mixture is to be prepared --with fodder. The composition of the present invention provides carbohydrates utilizable by the digestive
organs of animals. The process of the invention provides products equivalent with the very expensive maltodextrins using cheap and readily available starting materials.
4376126 M E T H O D OF MAKING A Y O G H U R T BEVERAGE AND P R O D U C T THEREBY Paulus H J M Evers, Veghel, Netherlands, assigned to DMV-Camping B V A method of producing a beverage from yoghurt and, optionally, fruit juice, fruit essence or fruit concentrate, having good keeping qualities. The yoghurt is prepared in the conventional manner by fermenting milk until the mass has reached a pH value conventional for yoghurt, and the fermented milk is mixed as desired with minor amounts of water, sugars, pectin and flavors and,'or colors and, optionally, fruit juice, fruit essence or fruit concentrate. After the mixing of the ingredients the mass is homogenized and is subsequently subjected to a heat treatment, comprising warming up to a temperature between 45 degrees and 55 degrees C. while the mass is being agitated and while maintaining a temperature difference between the heating medium and the mass of no more than l0 degrees C., and then to a cooling treatment at a temperature between 25 degrees and 35 degrees C. At that temperature the product is again homogenized, and then pasteurized or sterilized, cooled and aseptically packed, or packed and then pasteurized or sterilized within the package. 4375515 M E T H O D FOR P R O D U C I N G MICROBIAL CELLS AND USE T H E R E O F TO P R O D U C E OXIDATION P R O D U C T S

Ramesh Patel, Ching-Tsan Hou, Allen Laskin, assigned to Exxon Research and Engineering Co Disclosed are newly discovered and isolated methylotrophic microorganism strains and their natural and/or artificial mutants which grow well under aerobic conditions in a culture medium in the presence of methane as the major carbon and energy source. The methane-grown microbial cells possess a high content of protein and can be utilized as such as feedstuffs. The methane-grown microbial cells or enzyme preparations thereof are also useful in converting CI-C6 alkanes to alcohols, particularly methane to methanol, C3-C6 alkanes to the corresponding C3-C6 sec. alcohols and methyl ketones, C3-C6 sec. alcohols to the corresponding methyl ketones, cyclic hydrocarbons to cyclic hydrocarbyl alcohols (e.g., cyclohexane to cyclohexanol) C2-C4 alkenes selected from the group consisting of ethylene, propylene, butene-I and butadine to I. 2-epoxides, styrene to styrene oxide, and converting other oxidizable substrates to oxidized products. The newly discovered and isolated methylotrophic microorganism strains may be aerobically grown on a plurality of methyl-radical donations carbon-containing compounds, such as methanol, methylamine, methyl formate, methyl carbonate, dimethyl ether, etc., to produce microbial cells or enzyme preparations capable of aerobically converting C3-C6 linear secondary alcohols to the corresponding methyl ketones.
4374860 PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A READILY WATER MISCIBLE POWER FORM AMYLACEOUS FOOD P R O D U C T Rupert Gasser, Ernes Badertscher, Orbe, Switzerland, assigned to Societe D'Assistance Technique Pour Products Nestle S A
A readily water-miscible powder-form amylaceous food product is prepared by a process in which a first mixture of amylaceous material and water is prepared, cooked and liquefied by enzymatic hydrolysis, a second mixture of amylaceous material, water and at least part of the liquefied first mixture is prepared, cooked, liquefied by enzymatic hydrolysis and at least part thereof is spray dried. The product obtained is a powder suitable for soups, acidic beverages or instant breakfasts. 4374859 METHOD FOR REDUCING FUSEL OIL IN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AND YEAST STRAIN USEFUL IN THAT METHOD Ralph Kunkee, Richard S. Snow, Craig Rous, assigned to The Regents of The University of California A method and microorganism are set out for producing a fermentation product which contains ethanol but has a lower than usual fusel oil content. The mutant microorganism is of the genus Saceharomyces or Torulaspora. 4374198 RAPID UTILIZATION OF DISACC HARIDES BY FERMENTATION Franklin D. Miller, Werner Muller, assigned to National Distillers & Chemical Corp A feed containing a sterile aqueous solution of fermentable sugar and minor amounts of sugar oligomers and/or sugar repolymerizates is continuously converted by fermentation to dilute aqueous ethanol (beer) in a series of agitated fermentation vessels employing at least two strains of yeast, the first of which provides relatively high rates
