  • Publication number: 20110262478
    Abstract: An immunogen-specific is adjuvant for a vaccine or inoculum is disclosed. The adjuvant is comprised of particulate recombinant protein body-like assemblies (RPBLAs) that contain a recombinant fusion protein that contains two portions peptide-linked together. A first portion is a protein body-inducing sequence (PBIS) and a second portion is a T-cell stimulating immunogenic polypeptide whose sequence is that of a pathogenic polypeptide sequence present in or induced by a vaccine or inoculum. The adjuvant, when used as an inoculum in a host animal without a prior priming vaccination or inoculation, does not induce production of antibodies or T cell activation to the pathogenic sequence.

  • Patent number: 7939633
    Abstract: Decolorized and/or deodorized zein from corn products may be recovered in high yields using zeolite adsorbents. A solution of a zein-containing corn product in an aqueous alcohol solvent is contacted with a zeolite adsorbent under conditions effective for adsorption of color and odor impurities in the corn product onto the zeolite. Following this contact, the treated solution may be separated from the adsorbent and recovered, yielding substantially pure zein dissolved in the aqueous alcohol solvent. Optionally, the zein may be further purified by subsequently contacting the treated solution with an activated carbon adsorbent or a mixture of activated carbon and zeolite adsorbents to adsorb any residual color and/or odor impurities therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20100016554
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing corn into one or more corn products. Zein is extracted from corn or corn products or by-products with a solvent. The corn-solvent mixture is separated into streams, one of which preferably includes an extract containing at least zein and solvent, and another that contains de-zeined corn solids and adsorbed solvent. The solvent is separated from the zein, and the de-zeined, desolventized corn solids are processed to provide one or more corn products.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing corn into one or more corn products. Oil is extracted from corn or corn products or by-products with a solvent. The corn-solvent mixture is separated into streams, one of which preferably includes an extract containing at least oil and solvent, and another containing de-oiled corn solids and adsorbed solvent. Zein is separated from the de-oiled corn solids. Solvent is then separated, and the de-oiled, de-zeined, desolventized corn solids are processed to provide one or more corn products.

  • Publication number: 20090215990
    Abstract: Methods and systems for obtaining zein and/or xanthophylls in highly pure form. Zein is first extracted from corn using aqueous ethanol. Suspended corn solids are separated, and the resulting extract is purified in a single size-exclusion chromatography step to separate impurities and produce substantially purified zein. The chromatography step may simultaneously produce substantially purified xanthophylls.
