Reclaiming carbon dioxide used in storage tanks for fruit juices. Bergedorfer Eisenwerk Akt.-Ges. AstraWerke. Ger. 707,928, May 29, 1941 (Cl. 53*. 1.01).
Decomposition of dry vegetables. Chemischcs Werk Dr. Klopfer G. m. b. H. Ger. 707,782, May 29, 1941 (Cl. 53c. 6.01). The dry vegetables are comminuted and treated with solvents for chlorophyll and carotene. To the coin, is added a neutral fat and the chlorophyll and the sarotene are distd. oil.
Isolating vegetable proteins such as soybean protein. Percy L. Julian and Bernard T. Maker (to The Gliddcn Co.). U. S. 2,304,099, Dec. 8. The material, such as soybean meal, is extd. witli water, caustic alkali and lirnr arc added to the sepd. ext., and the resulting alk. liquor is centrifuged and the protein is recovered from the clarified ext.
Preserving green feed. Wilhelm Klein. Ger. 708,024, June 5, 1941 (Cl. 53g. 5.01). Green matter is preserved with NajSjOj. For 100 kg. of the green matter, an aq. soln. of up to 10 g. of NajSjOj and the required quantity of acid to decomp, this salt are used.
