The present disclosure provides methods of making confined nanocatalysts within mesoporous materials (MPMs). The methods utilize solid state growth of nanocrystalline metal organic frameworks (MOFs) followed by controlled transformation to generate nanocatalysts in situ within the mesoporous material. The disclosure also provides applications of the nanocatalysts to a wide variety of fields including, but not limited to, liquid organic hydrogen carriers, synthetic liquid fuel preparation, and nitrogen fixation.

Method of making confined nanocatalysts within mesoporous materials and uses thereof

This invention is directed to the discovery of a reactive catalytic fast pyrolysis (RCFP) process utilizing hydrogen at low pressures.

Reactive catalytic fast pyrolysis process and system

A catalyst is described that is useful for catalytic pyrolysis of biomass to produce a pyrolysis product. The catalyst includes (i) matrix material comprising a support and/or binder, and (ii) at least one metal oxide on the matrix material, wherein the metal oxide comprises metal selected from the group consisting of tungsten, chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, and combinations thereof. Corresponding catalytic pyrolysis processes and catalytic pyrolysis apparatus are disclosed, in which the catalyst enables the production of low oxygen content, stable liquid intermediates that can be refined to make liquid hydrocarbon fuels.

Catalyst compositions and use thereof in catalytic biomass pyrolysis

The present invention relates to a lowfat confection comprising a chocolate of full fat texture, said chocolate comprising a fat or fat substitute present in 20.0-24.5% (w/w), and nonfat solids comprising nutritive carbohydrate sweetener, nonfat cocoa solids and an edible emulsifier. The present invention further relates to a process for producing a lowfat chocolate and more specifically, to the process of preparing and formulating said product compositions.

Reduced fat confectionery products and process

The present invention relates to an amorphous crystalline chocolate flavored hard candy confection utilizing air-jet milled cocoa powder in which the particles thereof are less than about 15 microns in size and generally have rounded edges to achieve a desirable smooth texture and to the process of preparing the same.

Chocolate flavored hard candy

A source of a traditional problem in instant pudding compositions containing cocoa was discovered. This disclosure describes a means of resolving the problem by a process which comprises the step of reducing the cocoa's magnesium activity.

Instant pudding composition containing cocoa and process

An improved dry instant pudding mix which upon hydration yields a pudding with an improved texture and appearance is prepared by incorporating a fine grind starch and a powdered sugar of a controlled particle size.

Dry instant pudding mix

A cooked pudding composition containing highly-dutched cocoa and which maintains a sharp pie cut and a firm texture is prepared by incorporating an amount of an acidulant effective to impart a desired texture and viscosity to the resultant cooked pudding from about 6.3 and adjust the pH of the cooked pudding up to about 6.7.
