The present invention relates to a trehalulose-containing composition, its preparation and use.

Trehalulose-containing composition, its preparation and use

The present invention relates to cereal products comprising cereals and isomaltulose, methods for their production, and the use of isomaltulose for the production of cereal products.

Isomaltulose in cereal products

Sugar alcohol mixtures are used as antimicrobially active compounds.

Compositions for common colds

The invention relates to a process for the hydrogenation of sugars and sugar mixtures from the group consisting of isomaltulose, trehalulose, maltulose, leucrose and lactulose to sugar alcohols or sugar alcohol mixtures wherein the sugars or sugar mixtures are hydrogenated with hydrogen in an aqueous solution at elevated temperature and elevated pressure, using a nickel-containing catalyst attached to a carrier.

Process for the hydrogenation of sugars

The use of acylated carbohydrates selected from the group consisting of sucrose, maltose, lactose, palatinose, trehalulose, glucose and fructose or mixtures of these as a detergent constituent is characterized in that these acylated carbohydrate compounds contain one or two carboxyl functions and are in the form of the mono- or diacid or an alkali metal salt thereof, wherein the acyl radical is selected from the group consisting of C1- to C18-alkyl, tolyl and benzyl radicals and can be identical or different, and are used as bleaching agent activators or complexing agents in detergent formulations, the acyl radical preferably being a methyl radical.

Peracetylated or acylated carbohydrates as bleaching agent activators or

The invention relates to a process for the hydrogenation of sugars and sugar mixtures to sugar alcohols or sugar alcohol mixtures wherein the sugars or sugar mixtures are hydrogenated with hydrogen in an aqueous solution at elevated temperature and elevated pressure by using a shell catalyst comprising a mixture of a pure Raney metal and a Raney metal alloy and wherein the shell catalyst has an essentially catalytically inactive core functioning as a carrier and a catalytically active shell.

Process for the hydrogenation of sugars using a shell catalyst

A method is disclosed for producing di- and more highly oxidized carboxylic acids from a compound selected from a first group consisting of carbohydrates, carbohydrate derivatives and carbohydrate derivatives having more than one primary alcohol group, comprising oxidizing, in an aqueous solution in a concentration between 0.1% and 60%, the compound selected from said first group and a compound selected from a second group consisting of monooxidized carbohydrates, monooxidized carbohydrate derivatives and monooxidized carbohydrate derivatives having more than one primary alcohol group, with one of oxygen and an oxygen-containing gas, on one of a noble metal catalyst and a mixed metal catalyst; electrodialyzing the oxidized compounds in at least one electrodialysis stage; and removing said di- and more highly oxidized carboxylic acids in said at least one electrodialysis stage.

Method and apparatus for producing di- and more highly oxidized

A process for the preparation of a sweetener, in which sucrose is converted enzymatically into a saccharide mixture which is called 'isomerized sucrose' and has a disaccharide content of more than 85% by weight, then non-isomerized remaining sucrose is removed from the latter by enzymatic and/or H.sup.+ ion-catalyzed cleavage, and this product is catalytically hydrogenated. Preferably either before or after the catalytic hydrogenation, the resulting mixture is subjected to a chromatographic separation. The sweeteners prepared by this process contain either a mixture of 10 to 50% by weight of 6-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol; 2 to 20% by weight of 1-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol; and 30 to 70% by weight of 1-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannitol or of 5 to 10% by weight of 6-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol; 30 to 40% by weight of 1-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol; and 45 to 60% by weight of 1-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannitol.
