Outline
The present invention relates to a microorganism capable of degrading more than one aflatoxin B1, T2 toxin, ochratoxin A and zearalenone mycotoxin contamination, which is Cupriavidus basilensis (BRB 6A), Pseudoxanthomonas suwonensis (NZS6) and Sphingopyxis chiliensis (Kö10) or the combination thereof. The invention further relates to a composition comprising microorganisms capable of degrading more than one aflatoxin B1, T2 toxin, ochratoxin A and zearalenone mycotoxin contamination, comprising Cupriavidus basilensis (BRB 6A), Pseudoxanthomonas suwonensis (NZS6) and Sphingopyxis chiliensis or their combination in a concentration of 106–1011 viable cells / ml on known carrier(s). The present invention relates to the use of the above microorganism composition as a feed supplement. The invention furthermore relates to the use of the above microorganism composition for the detoxification of seeds or fodder which can be used for agricultural or food purposes.

Outline
The invention lies in the field of animal feed additives. Disclosed are novel solid rumen bypass feed additive compositions containing polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) comprising oils as well as methods for the production of said compositions. Methods are also disclosed for producing milk and dairy products enriched in PUFA by using said novel feed additive compositions. Milk obtained from animals fed using the feed additives of the invention has a delicious taste and a very healthy composition of fatty acids.

Outline
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for preparing foods having two or more components hardenable by heat treatment, particularly egg bar, the method comprises the step of filling a first component (I.), e.g. egg-yolk, forming an inner core of the food to be prepared into an inner tube (5) of a filler device (1) formed by concentric tubes, cooking and hardening the first component (I.) by a liquid circulating in an intermediate tube (23), delivering the hardened core in a casing (12) sealed at its bottom end, filling the space around the core by a second component (II.) of liquid state, e.g. egg-white, through an outer tube (14) of the filler device (1), sealing the upper end of the casing (12), and detaching the semi-processed product (29) from the filling device (1) and introducing it in a boiling trough (4) containing a liquid bath for cooking the product (29).

Outline
This invention relates to a biofilm carrier made of structured yarns (1) comprising filaments (2), where each individual filament (2) constituting the central yarn (1) forms a continuous fibre running over the entire length of the yarn (1) and filaments (2) are fixed to each other by anchor points (3) along the length of the yarn (1), and structured yarns (1) are fixed at fixing points (5) of a mesh structure (6), and each structured yarn (1) forms a loop (4) between two adjacent fixing points (5), the arc length (T) of which is greater than the distance (t) of the two fixing points (5).

Outline
The present invention relates to a process for the composting of solid, organic solvent-free herbal residues left over from steam distillation / hydrodistillation; and to the production of stable, mature compost containing reduced levels of pathogenic microorganisms and of phytotoxic substances. The invention further relates to a microbiological material for accelerating the composting of the above mentioned compost.

Outline
Informing consumers about the place of origin and producer of agricultural products is becoming more and more important, in some cases it is also subject to legal regulations. The sticker and painting based marking used so far is polluting and represents food health risk. The invention relates to an apparatus for marking hard-shelled crops (14), especially vegetables and fruits, comprising a marking template (19) with breakthroughs and a marking device (3) for delivering the marking material to the surface of the crop by means of the marking template. The marking device (1) has a marking material reservoir (2) and a fluid channel (4) carrying a marking material (3). The tracer reservoir (2) has a tracer loading port (8) and a tracer outlet (7), wherein the inlet (10) of the fluid channel (4) carrying the tracer (3) is connected to a fluid source (9) at a pressure above ambient pressure.

Outline
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a measuring arrangement for trapping flying soil material. The negative consequence of soil erosion due to wind deflation is not only a soil protection problem, but also an economic and environmental one due to nutrient loss, and also raises human health concerns due to inhaled small floating particles. The object of the invention is to provide a measuring arrangement for a portable trapping device, by means of which the soil loss due to wind events can be estimated much more accurately.
