Patent GB-999073-A (GB)
Title: Sweetening compositions
IPC: A23L27/30
Filed: 1963-02-01
Abstract: A sweetening composition is made by spray drying to a granular product a slurry of lactose containing a water-dispersible edible protein whipping agent, e.g. hydrolyzed casein, and an artificial sweetening agent, e.g. saccharin, or sodium, potassium, calcium or ammonium cyclamate, so that the granules have a bulk density of 0.2g./ml. and contain at least 25% of a -monohydrate lactose crystals and 3-8% of moisture.  A gas such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen or air may be introduced into the slurry before it is spray dried.  The rate of dissolution of the composition may be increased by incorporation of a mono-diglyceride from cottonseed oil.  Caking of the product may be minimized by incorporation of sodium aluminium silicate.

Abstract: 514,877. Treating foul waters. VREESE, A. DE. Feb. 11, 1938, No. 4349. Vold. Convention date, Feb. 19, 1937. [Class 111] Waste waters, such as those from woolwashing, bleaching, dyeworks or laundries, are treated with carbon dioxide either prior to or simultaneously with the addition of an alkalineearth compound, such as lime or calcium carbonate, the effect being to convert alkaline carbonates present in the waste water into bicarbonates and alkaline-metal soaps into alkaline-earth soaps. The alkaline-earth soaps and greases present in the water may then be removed therefrom by filtration preferably with the assistance of a filter aid.

Abstract: The invention comprises phosphorus derivatives of the general formula <FORM:0826814/IV (b)/1> where X is an oxygen or sulphur atom and R1 and R2 are the same or different alkyl radicals containing not more than 5 carbon atoms.  They may be obtained by reacting an acid halide of the formula <FORM:0826814/IV (b)/2> where Hlg is a halogen atom with a pyrone of the formula <FORM:0826814/IV (b)/3> in the presence of a basic condensing agent or with the pyrone in the form of a reactive salt which can be formed by reacting the pyrone with the basic condensing agent before reacting with the acid halide.  The reaction can be carried out in an inert organic liquid such as an alcohol, ketone or aromatic hydrocarbon and suitable reaction temperatures are between room temperature and 150 DEG C.  Examples are given for the production of products of the above formula in which X is sulphur and R1 and R2 are each methyl, ethyl and isopropyl respectively, and in which X is oxygen and R1 and R2 are each ethyl. The products have pesticidal properties (see Group VI). Specification 756,899 is referred to.ALSO:A pesticidal composition comprises one or more compounds of the formula <FORM:0826814/VI/1> where X is an oxygen or sulphur atom and R1 and R2 are the same or different alkyl radicals containing not more than 5 carbon atoms (see Group IV (b)) and a solid or liquid inert diluent.  Specified solid diluents are talc, calcined magnesium oxide, kieselguhr, tricalcium phosphate, cork dust, absorbent charcoal, and clays, e.g. kaolin or bentonite.  The composition may be in the form of an aerosol, suspension, emulsion, or solution in an organic or aqueous organic medium, e.g. toluene, xylene, or a mineral, animal or vegetable oil or a mixture of these diluents and melting, dispersing or emulsifying agents of ionic or non-ionic type may be present, e.g. sulphated ricinoleates, quaternary ammonium derivatives, condensates of ethylene oxide with octyl phenol or fatty acid esters of anhydrosorbitols rendered soluble by etherification of the free hydroxyl groups by condensation with ethylene oxide.  Other pesticides may also be present in the composition.  In an example a product of the above formula in which X is sulphur and R1 and R2 are methyl is dissolved in acetone (or dimethyl formamide) and toluene and the condensation product of ethylene oxide with octyl phenol added, the resulting solution being then converted into an emulsion by adding water.

Abstract: 1,248,195. Extracting protein. AJINOMOTO CO. Inc. 30 Jan., 1970 [30 Jan., 1969], No. 4712/70. Heading C3H. [Also in Divisions C2 and C6] Bacterial cells are hydrolysed with hydrochloric acid in the presence of an oxidizing agent, exemplified by hydrogen peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate and sodium hypochlorite. The resulting hydrolysed mixture is stated to be more readily filtered. From 0À0295 to 1À76 equivalents of the oxidizing agent are used per 100 grams (dry weight) of the bacterial cells. The hydrolysis is conducted at a temperature of 115‹ C. for 6 hours. Examples 1 and 2 are directed to the hydrolysis of bacterial cells separated from glutamic acid fermentation broth (carbon source: kerosene) or lysine fermentation broth (carbon source: glucose), respectively. According to Examples 3 and 5, the pH of a glutamic acid fermentation broth (carbon source: acetic acid) is adjusted to 3À2 by the addition of hydrochloric acid to crystallize the glutamic acid. After separating the glutamic acid crystals, the mother liquor is concentrated and the bacterial cells therein subjected to the hydrolysis treatment. In Example 4, the broth is concentrated and the cells treated before any pH adjustment and separation of glutamic acid crystals.

Abstract: 137,945. Kroyer, J. M. March 3, 1919. Compulsory differential driving; steering by differential braking. - Relates to fourwheeled tractors of the type having non-deflectable wheels, and more particularly to tractors of the kind described in Specification 132,103, in which the pairs of wheels on each side are geared together and one wheel of each pair is disconnectibly geared to the engine. The engine 8 is connected through the usual clutch 9 and gear-box 12 to a propeller shaft 13 carrying a pair of clutches 14, 15 connected respectively by gearing 16, 19 to countershafts 17, 20, which drive the rear wheels 5 through the usual pinions and' internal gears. Each lateral pair of road wheels is connected by chains 6 engaging sprocket-wheels on the road-wheel hubs. The clutches 14, 15 are operated by a shaft 23, Fig. 5, rotated by the hand steering-wheel and carrying a double-grooved cam 22 engaging a stud 25 on a pivoted fork 26, which in turn engages the internal members of the clutch so that either clutch can be disengaged at will. When one clutch is disengaged, the whools on that side cease to rotate, and the continued rotation of the other pair of wheels causes the tractor to turn to the right or left on an arc of small radius. A further movement of the hand steering-wheel operates the appropriate brakeband 29 on one of the clutches and holds the wheels on that side against rotation, when more abrupt turning is required. By allowing one clutch to slip, less abrupt steering is obtained.
