Patent EP-0028872-A3 (EP)
IPC: C08B30/16
Filed: 1980-07-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in producing sugars 
from starch-bearing grains are disclosed which yield cooked, 
gelatinized products capable of short-time enzymatic conver­
sion to sugars, particularly sugars subject to fermentation to 
alcohol. The method and apparatus involves the through-­
soaking of the starch-bearing material with water, and the 
cooking and gelatinization of the water-soaked material in its 
passage through the barrel of an extrusion cooker. The struc­
ture of the cooker is such that in the barrel water separates 
from the material being worked, the separated cooked, 
gelatinized starch material being extruded from the barrel 
through an extrusion die and the separated water being dis­
charged through an additional outlet conduit in the barrel. The 
high production rates afforded through use of this extrusion 
equipment with high-moisture grains, and the short conver­
sion time of the resultant products, is particularly advantage­
ous for economical alcohol manufacture, both for alcoholic 
beverages and for use as fuel. Preferably, whole or cracked 
starch-bearing grain is presoaked in an excess of water to a 
substantial moisture level, and the resultant slurry is fed to the 
specialised extruder. In the extruder the water is at least par­
tially separated and carried from the process, and the grain is 
highly cooked and gelatinized for subsequent conversion. The 
overall apparatus preferably includes presoak tanks for the 
grain, a grain-conveying feeder, an extrusion cooker, and 
enzyme conversion tanks; the apparatus is advantageously 
sized for batch-continuous operations to produce a continu­
ous flow of sugars. Coversion times for the gelatinized 
starches are low, less than about 45 minutes, and moisture 
and extrusion conditions can be altered to further lower sugar 
conversion time.

Abstract: Disclosed are monoclonal antibody substances specifi­
cally immunologically reactive with native and recombinant 
human immune interferon ("IFN-γ") and with polypeptides 
having amino acid sequences substantially duplicative of 
sequences extant in IFN-γ. In a presently preferred embodi­
ment, antibody substances are produced by a new mouse-­
mouse hybridoma tumor cell line A.T.C.C. HB 8291 and are 
immunoreactive with native IFN-γ, with recombinant IFN-γ 
and polypeptide analogs thereof, and with a nonadecapeptide 
whose amino acid sequence duplicates that of the final nine­
teen amino acid residues of the carboxyl terminal of IFN-γ. 
These preferred antibody substances, while displaying high 
affinity for IFN-γ, do not neutralize antiviral biological activity 
of the interferon. They are usefully employed in the detection, 
quantification and affinity purification of IFN-γ and IFN-γ 
analogs as well as in invesigations relating to the mode of 
biological action of IFN-γ.

Abstract: Indolines of the formula (I) <IMAGE> in which R1 denotes hydrogen or C1-C4-alkyl, R2 and R3 independently of one another each denote hydrogen, C1-4-alkyl or phenyl, are obtained by catalytic cyclodehydration of a 2-(2'-aminophenyl)ethanol of the formula (II) <IMAGE> in which R1, R2 and R3 have the above meaning, in the gas phase at 200-250 DEG C, the cyclodehydration being carried out in the presence of a silicate or of an aluminosilicate, an alkaline earth metal or a rare earth metal (for example molecular sieve) as a catalyst and of carrier gas. The selectivity and the yield are excellent. The catalyst has an extremely long life with constant activity as a result of the addition of carrier gas. Indolines are important intermediates.
