  • Patent number: 10472657
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for hydrolyzing an alpha-1,3 or alpha-1,6 glucosyl-glucose linkage in a saccharide (disaccharide or oligosaccharide). This method comprises contacting the saccharide with an alpha-glucosidase enzyme such as transglucosidase under suitable conditions, during which contacting step the enzyme hydrolyzes at least one alpha-1,3 or alpha-1,6 glucosyl-glucose linkage of the saccharide. This method is useful for reducing the amount of oligosaccharides in a filtrate isolated from a glucan synthesis reaction, for example.

  • Patent number: 8628817
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a process for the production of wet solutions of peptides concentrated to 50% or dry peptides, for human and animal consumption, using as raw material secondary products generated in the production of protein food for human consumption. The process is started with a low temperature fat extraction previous to enzymatic action, and the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of the low fat raw material is combined with acid hydrolysis, increasing the protein yield to nearly 100%, eliminating organic liquid industrial waste originating from products and residues of animal protein origin, fish and aquaculture.

  • Publication number: 20110258572
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method determines a virtual kit identifier for a plurality of devices associated with a plurality of entities. The plurality of devices include a control point device and one or more controllable devices. Device profile information for the plurality of devices is stored in a database. The virtual kit identifier is received in a request for service. The method determines device profile information stored in the database for a controllable device. At least a portion of the device profile information including configuration information and graphical user interface display information is sent to a user interface. The user interface uses the graphical user interface display information to cause display of a page using the configuration information. The method connects to the control point device in the plurality of devices to coordinate performing of the service with the controllable device based on information outputted on the page.
