| 20110300581 | PROCESS FOR PRODUCING DIFRUCTOSE DIANHYDRIDE III CRYSTALS - A process for producing the crystals of difructose dianhydride III (DFA III), namely a indigestible disaccharide where two fructose molecules are bonded to each other at positions 1,2′ and 2,3′ (di-D-fructofuranose-1,2′:2,3′-dianhydride), where solutions containing DFA III are adjusted to and/or maintained at pH 5 or more, preferably pH 5 to 8, and more preferably 6 to 8. DFA III can be produced industrially without lowering the crystal yield even when the crystallization thereof is done in a recycling system; additionally by adjusting the total fructose content in mother solutions for (crude) crystallization to 5% or less per a solid content basis and adjusting the fructose content to 1% or less, DFA III can more effectively be produced. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20100234317 | USE OF DIFRUCTOSE ANHYDRIDE-CONTAINING COMPOSITION - A method for improving bowel movement of a subject desiring such an improvement, includes administering to the subject a defructose anhydride (DFA) in an amount effective to improve bowel movement. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100233290 | USE OF DIFRUCTOSE ANHYDRIDE-CONTAINING COMPOSITION - A method for increasing the absorption of magnesium, zinc, and/or copper through the intestines of a subject desiring such an increase, includes administering to the subject a difructose anhydride (DFA) in an amount effective to increase the absorption of magnesium, zinc, and/or copper present in the intestines. | 09-16-2010 |
