Danish group Danisco (DCO.CO) posted a bigger-than-forecast rise in third-quarter profit and said no competing bids had emerged to challenge its agreed takeover by U.S. chemicals group DuPont (DD.N). Danisco, a food ingredients and enzymes producer, agreed in January to be acquired by DuPont for $5.9 billion in cash plus assumption of $500 million in debt. Before the report, some analysts had said a forecast-beating result from Danisco could fuel shareholder demands for a higher bid from DuPont, even though the U.S. group has said its 665-crowns-per-share offer was final.
