Patent number: 11805805Abstract: The disclosure describes methods for the purification of protein-enriched extracts to provide concentrates and isolates and methods for incorporation of such materials into products. The purification methods are adapted for removal of nicotine and may have other benefits, e.g., lightening the color of the protein-enriched extracts. The methods generally include treatment with peracetic acid or hydrogen peroxide and filtrations. A protein composition in the form of a concentrate or isolate is provided, the protein composition including RuBisCO, F2 fraction proteins, or combination thereof extracted from a plant of the Nicotiana species, wherein the protein composition is characterized by relatively low nicotine content.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2020Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: R.J. Reynolds Tobacco CompanyInventors: Kyle Ford, John-Paul Mua, Nicholas Partain, Joshua D. Morton, Barry Bratcher

Publication number: 20230056300Abstract: The disclosure describes methods for the purification of protein-enriched extracts to provide concentrates and isolates and methods for incorporation of such materials into products. The purification methods are adapted for removal of, e.g., chlorophyll and may thus provide lightening the color of the protein-enriched extracts. The methods generally include treatment with peracetic acid or hydrogen peroxide and filtrations. A protein composition in the form of a concentrate or isolate is provided, the protein composition including RuBisCO, F2 fraction proteins, or combination thereof extracted from a plant material.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2022Publication date: February 23, 2023Inventors: Nicholas Partain, Joshua D. Morton, Barry Bratcher, John-Paul Mua, Kyle Ford

Publication number: 20190380378Abstract: The disclosure describes methods for providing nicotine isolates, including: receiving a solution containing nicotine derived from green tobacco biomass of a plant of the Nicotiana species; converting the nicotine to nicotine sulfate; concentrating the resulting nicotine sulfate-containing solution; adjusting the pH of the resulting nicotine sulfate concentrate to a pH of about 9.5 or greater to convert the nicotine sulfate to nicotine in free base form; extracting the resulting basic concentrate with an organic solvent to partition the nicotine into the organic solvent; and distilling the nicotine-containing organic solution to afford a nicotine isolate comprising about 90% or more nicotine by weight.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2019Publication date: December 19, 2019Inventors: Nicholas Partain, Joshua D.
