PATENT ABSTRACTS before treatment. The biomass reaction product in the particulate state is preferably immobilized in an insoluble binder.

A method of drying a water-containing foodstuff or beverage at a temperature above ambient, is characterized by incorporating trehalose into the foodstuff or beverage which is to be dried.

4995943 PRETREATMENT OF CELLULOSIC MATERIAL WITH CARBON DIOXIDE Karl Rehberg Pretreatment of cellulosic material with carbon dioxide gas, preparatory to being converted chemically, as by hydrolysis, etc. Biomass material, such as branches, stalks, brush, or foliage, or cellulosic products, such as waste paper or cardboard, is reduced to finely divided dry form and is exposed to carbon dioxide in an anhydrous environment, is compressed to superatmospheric pressure and then is decompressed to subatmospheric pressure, expelling air and other gases, particulates, water, other volatiles, etc. Then the cellulosic material is returned to atmospheric pressure, and subsequently is either recycled through such compression and decompression and return, or is compressed to even high pressure. Such environment is enriched in carbon dioxide, such as comprising it in substantial or major part or consisting essentially thereof.

5024~5 PROCESS FOR OBTAINING SARCOSINE OXIDASE FROM MICROORGANISMS Ulrich Mayr, Helmgar Gauhl, Hans Seidel, Rosenheim, Federal Republic Of Germany assigned to Boehringer Mannheim GmbH The present invention provides a process for ohmining sarcosine oxidase from micro-organisms by culturing thereof and obtaining the enzyme from the biomass or from the culture broth, wherein a Pseudomonas strain is cultured.

5026640 PROCESS FOR THE CONVERSION OF CORRINOIDS P R O D U C E D BY MICROORGANISMS INTO CYANOCORRINOIDS Agnes Kelemen, Pechany Eva Cserey, Istvan Jaksa, Budapest, Hungary assigned to Richter Gedeon Vegyeszeti Gyar Rt The invention relates to a process for the conversion of corrinoids produced by microorganisms into cyanocorrinoids by reaction with cyanides. According to the invention a fermentation broth obtained by disruption of microorganism cells in a known manner, preferably by heat treatment in the presence or absence of sulfite ions, optionally after purification steps known per se, is contacted with a suitable adsorbent or ion exchange resin, the corrinoids adsorbed on the surface of the adsorbent or ion exchange resin are treated with an aqueous solution containing cyanide ions or a compound capable of supplying cyanide ions, in an amount providing cyanide ions in a I.l to 2.0-fold molar excess related to the corrinoids, the adsorbent or ion exchange resin is washed with water, and the cyanocorrinoids obtained is eluted in a known manner, preferably with aqueous ethanol.

5026642 PROCESS FOR THE ENZYMATIC PRODUCTION OF KETONES Hans-Eckar Radunz, Harry Schwartz, Martin Heinrich, Mfederal Republic Of Germana assigned to Merck Patent Gesellschaft mit beschrankter Haftung In a process for the reduction of ketones, the keto compounds are enantioselectively reduced to give secondary alcohols by means of microorganisms. Keto compounds of the formula See Patent for Tabular Presentation PS in which R I, R2 and R3 have the meanings defined herein are used as starting compounds.
