20080227161 | METHODS FOR PRODUCING A HYDROLYSATE AND ETHANOL FROM LIGNOCELLULOSIC MATERIALS - A method for producing a hydrolysate from lignocellulosic materials generally includes fiberizing the lignocellulosic materials, separating the lignocellulosic materials into at least a first portion and a second portion, wherein at least the first portion includes lignin, treating the first portion to deactivate at least a portion of the lignin in the first portion, re-combining the first and second portions after treating the first portion, and hydrolyzing the lignocellulosic materials with enzymes to produce a hydrolysate. | 09-18-2008 |
20090142812 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT REDUCED VISCOSITY STARCH PASTES - Disclosed herein are methods of making high molecular weight, reduced viscosity starch pastes by enzymatic conversion. The methods provide a process for producing enzyme-thinned starch pastes that have improved molecular weight distributions, i.e., starch pastes having a more mid to high molecular weight content and less low molecular weight sugars than traditional enzyme converted pastes at similar solids and viscosity. In some embodiments, the methods utilize an enzyme capable of producing longer-chain oligosaccharides rather than low-molecular weight sugars. Other embodiments utilize a combination of enzymes to provide low viscosity pastes that are stabilized against setback and retrogradation. Furthermore, the methods may utilize a continuous starch enzyme cooker for the production of the high molecular weight, reduced viscosity starch pastes. | 06-04-2009 |
