George T. Veeder, III has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Solventless extraction process
    Patent number: 7351558
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for extracting lipids from microorganisms without using organic solvent as an extraction solvent. In particular, the present invention provides a method for extracting lipids from microorganisms by lysing cells and removing water soluble compound and/or materials by washing the lysed cell mixtures with aqueous washing solutions until a substantially non-emulsified lipid is obtained.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 20, 2004
    Date of Patent: April 1, 2008
    Assignee: Martek Biosciences Corporation
    Inventors: Craig M. Ruecker, Swithin Patrick Adu-peasah, Brian S. Engelhardt, George T. Veeder, III

  • Polysaccharide and bacterial fermentation process for its preparation
    Patent number: 4286059
    Abstract: A process for producing a heteropolysaccharide by a bacterial fermentation procedure in which a species of bacteria or a mutant thereof is incubated in a fermentation medium which contains a carbon source, preferably a hydrolyxed starch, a source of magnesium ions, a source of phosphorous, a source of nitrogen and water with the incubation taking place at a temperature of about 28.degree. to about 35.degree. C.
    Type: Grant

  • Polysaccharide and bacterial fermentation process for its preparation
    Patent number: 3933788
    Abstract: A process for producing a heteropolysaccharide by a bacterial fermentation procedure in which a new species of bacteria is incubated in a fermentation medium which contains a carbon source, preferably a hydrolyzed starch, a source of magnesium ions, a source of phosphorous, a source of nitrogen and water with the incubation taking place at a temperature of about 28.degree. to about 35.degree.C. The heteropolysaccharide produced by the above fermentation process. A thickened aqueous media containing an effective quantity of the heteropolysaccharide to thicken the media.
