530407000 | Hydrolysis of protein | 9 |
20090187011 | Method of serum pre-treatment for glycomic analysis - A means for pre-treatment in glycomic analysis of a glycoprotein is provided by the present invention. | 07-23-2009 |
20100261889 | PROTEIN BASED FOAMING AGENTS AND METHODS OF MAKING THEREOF - Described herein are protein based foams and methods for making the same. The foams are derived from proteins that have been hydrolysed and chemically modified such that a foam produced from the protein has improved physical properties (e.g., reduced surface tension, increased foamability and foam stability). The protein is recovered from the animal rendering process as a component of an animal by-product (e.g., bloodmeal, bonemeal or meat). | 10-14-2010 |
20110144315 | CONTROLLED SYNTHESIS OF POLYGLUTAMIC ACID - Disclosed herein are processes for obtaining polyglutamic acid. The processes disclosed herein are controlled processes for obtaining polyglutamic acid with a desired weight average molecular weight. | 06-16-2011 |
20120016112 | PROCESSING OF MACRONUTRIENTS - The present invention generally relates to edible compositions and methods to produce them. In particular, the present invention relates to the enzymatic modulation of macron utrients and to food compositions containing such modulated macronutrients. One embodiment of the present invention is a method for modulating macronutrients comprising the steps of producing at least one synthetic gene coding for at least one enzyme or a functional part thereof capable of modulating macronutrients, expressing the at least one enzyme or a functional part thereof, and bringing the macronutrients into contact with the at least one enzyme or a functional part thereof exhibiting the enzymatic activity. | 01-19-2012 |
20130231467 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SOLUBILIZING PROTEIN - A method of solubilizing protein that includes applying an alkali to a protein source to form a slurry; heating the slurry to a temperature sufficient to allow hydrolysis of protein in the protein source to obtain a reaction liquid comprising solubilized proteins, prions, and reactive solids; separating reactive solids from the reaction liquid to produce a separated reaction liquid, wherein the reactive solids comprise unsolubilized proteins; further heating the separated reaction liquid to an elevated temperature and holding for a time period sufficient to destroy prions in the separated reaction liquid, wherein the elevated temperature is between 75° C. and 250° C. and the time period is between 1 second and 5 hours; and neutralizing the reaction liquid with acid or an acid source to produce a neutralized liquid. | 09-05-2013 |
20140316117 | POLYMERS AND PLASTICS DERIVED FROM ANIMAL PROTEINS - The invention is directed to a method for preparing a polymer derived from an animal protein, such as in a feedstock derived from animal by-products. The method involves hydrolyzing proteins present in a feedstock to obtain hydrolyzed proteins, wherein hydrolysis is conducted under conditions sufficient to digest the proteins and destroy pathogens; extracting a protein fraction from the hydrolyzed proteins; and treating the protein fraction with a crosslinking reagent to form the polymer. The crosslinking reagents may include epoxies. The polymer may be further processed to form a thermoset plastic. The polymer may be used as an adhesive, or in the preparation of a natural fiber composite material. | 10-23-2014 |
20140323702 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING A PROTEIN HYDROLYSATE - The invention relates to a method for producing a protein hydrolysate. In particular, the invention relates to a method for producing a keratin hydrolysate. A method for producing a protein hydrolysate is proposed, comprising: providing a protein source in the form of an aqueous suspension; adding a complexing agent to the provided protein source suspension; adding a base to the provided protein source suspension; heating the obtained mixture to a temperature ≧60° C.; adjusting the pH value of the mixture to a value between ≧pH 2 and ≦pH 8; and filtering the mixture. | 10-30-2014 |
20160031933 | AMINO ACIDS PRODUCED ACCORDING TO A PROCESS OF MECHANOCATALYTIC HYDROLYSIS OF PROTEINS - The presently disclosed and/or claimed inventive concept(s) relates generally to processes for the non-aqueous hydrolysis of proteins and/or protein-containing materials and, more particularly but without limitation, to methods for producing amino acids from the non-aqueous solid acid hydrolysis of proteins and/or protein-containing materials. More particularly, but without limitation, the methods disclosed herein for producing amino acids from the solid acid hydrolysis of proteins and/or protein-containing materials are performed in a non-aqueous/solvent-free process. In one particular embodiment, the process of producing such amino acids from proteins and/or protein-containing materials includes, without limitation, the step of mechanocatalytically reacting a solid acid with one or more proteins and/or protein containing materials in a non-aqueous/solvent-free process using the solid acid as a catalyst. | 02-04-2016 |
