Method of separating peat into its fibrous component and humic component comprising mining peat in the water existing in a peat bed to form a peat slurry, disintegrating it to suspend the fibrous component and humic component in the water, and separating the fibrous component from the humic component suspended in the water.

A new type of plasminogen-activating substance is extracted from the bile of hogs, which substance is characterized by; (A) a molecular weight of 80,000 .+-.10,000; (B) an isoelectric point of 7.1; (C) an ultraviolet absorption spectrum showing a peak (.lambda. max) at a wave length of about 278 nm; (D) a fibrinolysis activity such that a Ca-added standard fibrin plate is lysed but a heated fibrin plate is not lysed; (E) such a high thermal stability that heating at a temperature of 80.degree. C...

The present invention includes a formulation which comprises an antibacterial substance and an antiulcer substance, wherein at least either of them is formulated into a gastrointestinal mucosa-adherent solid preparation. The formulation of the present invention shows long retention time in the gastrointestinal tract because of adhesion to the gastrointestinal tract mucosa, synergetically enhances the pharmaceutical effects of an antibacterial substance, specially antibiotic against Helicobacter ...

The embodiment of the invention disclosed herein is directed to a fluid dispensing device which is usable as a condiment dispenser for such things as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise or the like. The dispensing device has a hand-manipulated flexible housing which is provided with an access opening at the top thereof and an outlet port at the bottom. The access opening is adapted to receive a container which is formed of film material and which supports the fluid substance to be placed into the dispe...

A peptide having between 3 and 12 inclusive amino acid residues wherein the carboxy terminal end of the peptide comprises the amino acid sequence of general formula 1: R -- R.sup.3 -- R.sup.2 -- R.sup.1 -- NH.sub.2 R.sup.3 is glycine, R.sup.2 is L-leucine, R.sup.1 -NH.sub.2 is L-methionine amide, L-methionine sulphoxide amide, L-methionine sulphone amide, or L-seleno methionine amide, R is a peptide fragment containing 0 to 9 amino acid residues, except that the peptide of general formula 1 cann...

The invention relates to a method of preparing membrane substance concentrates which are especially useful as additives to milk products. One convenient procedure involves emulsifying a product of milk containing membrane substances with fat, separating the emulsion into aqueous serum and fat rich fractions, separating the fat rich fraction obtained into further aqueous serum and fat rich fractions and combining the aqueous serum fractions. If a more concentrated membrane substance concentrate i...

In apparatus for compressing fibrous substances, e.g. hay or other cattle fodder into caked form, the substance is squeezed or compressed through a conduit of circular shape and whose cross-section decreases from its inlet to its outlet. The conduit is defined by a central wheel and a plurality of satellite rollers peripherally distributed therearound and the spacing of the satellite rollers from the central wheel decreases progressively from the inlet end to the outlet end.
