Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of alteman as a thickening agent, in particular for foodstuffs, a thickening agent composition comprising alternan and at least one thickening agent, a foodstuff comprising the thickening agent composition, and a method of increasing the viscosity of foodstuffs.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to the use of alternan as a texturizing agent, particularly as a fat or oil replacer in foodstuffs or cosmetic preparations, a homogeneous composition comprising alternan and water, the use of the homogenous composition as a texturizing agent in foodstuffs or cosmetic preparations, and foodstuffs and cosmetic preparations comprising alternan as a texturizing agent or a homogeneous composition comprising alternan.
Abstract:
Transgenic plant cells and plants are described which synthesise a starch which is modified in comparison with corresponding wild type plant cells and plants. The plant cells and plants described show a reduced activity of R1, BEI and BEII proteins. Furthermore, modified starches as well as methods for their production are described.
Abstract:
The invention relates to long-chain inulin and its preparation from artichoke roots, its use in foodstuffs and cosmetic preparations and foodstuffs and cosmetic preparations comprising the long-chain inulin.
Abstract:
A process for generating sequence-specific proteases by screening-based directed evolution is disclosed. The use of the process provides proteases recognizing and cleaving user-definable amino-acid sequences with high sequence-specificity. Proteases obtainable by the process can be used in a variety of medical, diagnostic and industrial applications.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a long-chain inulin and its preparation from artichoke roots, to its use in foodstuffs and cosmetic preparations and to foodstuffs and cosmetic preparations which comprise the long-chain inulin.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to genetically modified plant cells and plants in which the genetic modification leads to a reduction in GBSSI, SSIII and BEI activity in comparison to the activity in corresponding wild type plant cells or wild type plants. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for the production of such plant cells and plants. The present invention also relates to the starch produced by the plant cells of the invention or plants of the invention, as well as to methods for the production of this starch and derivatised starch.
Abstract:
The invention relates to long-chain inulin and its preparation from artichoke roots, its use in foodstuffs and cosmetic preparations and foodstuffs and cosmetic preparations having the long-chain inulin.
