Title: Encapsulation of volatile aroma compounds
Inventor: GARWOOD ROBERT
IPC: A23L27/00
Filed: 1995-08-21
Abstract: A process of encapsulating volatile aroma compounds in which an inert gas is dissolved in an aromatized edible liquid. The aromatized, gasified liquid is co-extruded with a molten carbohydrate material having a glass transition temperature of between 20 ° C and 80 ° C to provide a continuous extrudate having an outer shell of the carbohydrate material surrounding an inner core of the aromatized, gasified liquid. The continuous extrudate is extruded into a pressure chamber having a pressure higher than the internal pressure of the inert gas in the aromatized liquid core, and is maintained under such pressure until the carbohydrate shell has cooled to below the glass transition temperature. When placed in hot liquid, the inert gas expands and ruptures the capsules, releasing the aroma compounds.

Title: Process for preparing aldehydes
Inventor: BAHRMANN HELMUT
IPC: C07B61/00
Filed: 1997-05-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing aldehydes by hydroformylation of olefinically unsaturated compounds with hydrogen and carbon monoxide in homogeneous phase in the presence of a catalyst system comprising rhodium complex compounds and aromatic phosphines in a molar excess and separating off the catalyst system from the hydroformylation reaction mixture by pressure filtration on a semipermeable membrane of an aromatic polyamide. The process comprises carrying out the hydroformylation at a pH of 2.5 to 4.3 using a molar ratio of phosphine:rhodium of at least 60 and at a rhodium concentration of at least 10 ppm by weight,  based on the olefinically unsaturated compound used,  and using,  as aromatic phosphines, special alkylammonium and/or aryl-ammonium salts of sulfonated or carboxylated triarylphosphines.            The process according to the invention leads to excellent activities and selectivities in the hydroformylation step itself and also to high retention values in the membrane filtration step.
