  • Whole stillage separation
    Patent number: 11268062
    Abstract: Spent stillage remaining after the fermentation of a feedstock for ethanol production may be processed to recover, use, and/or recycle the constituent components of the stillage. Stillage may be mixed, heated, and held at a desired temperature for a period of time. The stillage may then be cooled and treated with an enzyme. The enzymatically treated stillage may be emulsified with oil and water, and then permitted to settle into discrete layers. Individual layers may then be processed.

  • Method for preparing salidroside
    Patent number: 11254962
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing salidroside. The present invention uses ?-glucoside and CoFe2O4 particles to form a cross-linked aggregate capable of effectively catalyzing the reaction of ?-D-glucose and tyrosol, thereby increasing the yield of the salidroside. The steps of the preparation method of the present invention are simple and short, and the method is easy to operate and readily applicable to industrial production.
