Patent number: 11634461Abstract: A process to produce a protein concentrate from grain, specifically barley protein concentrate (BPC) through mechanical and biochemical intervention while producing multiple sugar streams as co-products. The resulting BPC preferably contains 54%-95% protein derived exclusively from the enzymatically processed barley and has a pH>5.0. The BPC may contain approximately 10% oil, less than 5% crude fiber, less than 1% residual glucose, and less than 0.5% phytic acid. The BPC contains no ethanol, organic acid, fermentation products, or microbial cells or cell mass. No fermentation occurs in the production of the BPC. The BPC has unique applications in formulations for aquaculture or livestock feed, and other pet food as well as for food formulations intended for human consumption. The sugar co-products, including glucose, have applications in industry and science and are particularly suitable for use as feedstocks for fermentation processes, livestock feeds, or biochemical conversion processes.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Montana Microbial Products, LLCInventors: Clifford A. Bradley, Robert D. Kearns

Bioremediation method using a high nitrogen-containing culture of white rot fungi on sugar beet pulp
Patent number: 5486474Abstract: A bioremediation method for degrading aromatic compounds using white-rot fungus and a sugar beet pulp substrate having a high nitrogen content is disclosed. The sugar beet pulp substrate has a total nitrogen content based on dry weight of about ten percent. Further the white rot fungus utilized can be taken from several genera, including Phanerochaete, Phlebia, Trametes, Pleurotus and Bjerkandera. Two specific genus species of the white rot fungi useful in the biormeditation method are Phaneorochaete chrysosporium and Bjerkandera adjusta. The admixture of a white rot fungus and sugar beet pulp solid substrate is capable of enzymatically degrading aromatic compounds. In addition the method is useful for degrading chlorinated aromatic compounds and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in soil and water.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 1993Date of Patent: January 23, 1996Assignee: Mycotech CorporationInventors: Clifford A.
