Tito L. Lunder |
Catechin complexes are obtained from aqueous extracts obtained from plants containing catechins. The extracts are concentrated to a liquor, and the liquor then is extracted with dichloromethane to eliminate pigments from the liquor and to obtain an aqueous phase, which contains catechin complexes, and a dichloromethane phase. The aqueous phase is mixed with purified sea sand to form a paste which is eluted with acetone to obtain the catechin complexes in the acetone. The catechin complexes are recovered from the acetone by evaporating the acetone, and the recovered catechin complexes may be dried to obtain a powder. |

Lawrence P. Klemann; John W. Finley |
Cholesterol and other sterols are separated from fluid mixtures, especially foodstuffs such as egg yolk, using a surface-modified adsorbent which selectively adsorbs the sterols. The surface-modified adsorbent is prepared by (a) treating an adsorbent with a sterol compound so that the sterol compound becomes adsorbed on the adsorbent surface; (b) treating the sterol-modified adsorbent with a surface-modifying agent, this surface-modifying agent having a reactive group capable of reacting with the surface of the adsorbent, and an elongate hydrophobic portion, so that the surface of the adsorbent not covered by the adsorbed sterol compound reacts with the surface-modifying agent; and (c) desorbing the sterol compound from the adsorbent. A surface-modified adsorbent prepared in this way may also be used to remove sterols from solvents (such as carbon dioxide) which have themselves been used to extract sterols from foodstuffs, thus avoiding the need to distil and condense the solvent before it is recycled to treat further batches of the foodstuff. |

Cholesterol and other sterols are separated from fluid mixtures, especially foodstuffs such as egg yolk, using a surface-modified substantially insoluble carbonate salt which selectively adsorbs the sterol. The surface-modified carbonate is prepared by (a) treating a substantially insoluble carbonate salt with a sterol compound so that the sterol compound becomes adsorbed on the carbonate surface; (b) treating the sterol-modified carbonate with a surface-modifying agent, said surface-modifying agent having a reactive group capable of reacting with the surface of the carbonate, and an elongate hydrophobic portion, so that the surface of the carbonate not covered by the adsorbed sterol compound reacts with the surface-modifying agent; and (c) desorbing the sterol compound from the carbonate. A surface-modified carbonate prepared in this way may also be used to remove sterols from solvents (such as carbon dioxide) which have themselves been used to extract sterols from foodstuffs, thus avoiding the need to distil and condense the solvent before it is recycled to treat further batches of the foodstuff. |

The composition comprises highly nutritious powder of gourd fruit which is available as solid nutritious food or nutritious beverages. The gourd powder composition contains the powder of gourd fruit, creaming syrup and/or L-ascorbic acid. The other nutritious ingredient can be added if necessary. When supplied as beverages, the foaming agents can be added thereto. The L-ascorbic acid is used mainly for the purpose of removing the grassy-smelling peculiar to the gourd. The creaming syrup is used to have the powder of gourd fruit deflocculated in the liquid. If the foaming agents are added thereto, the powder of gourd fruit is more easily deflocculated in the liquid and the cooling beverage like cream soda can be made. |
