Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing a colored structured protein product with protein fibers that are substantially aligned and the resultant product. Specifically, the plant protein is combined with a colorant and extruded, forming a colored structured protein product with protein fibers that are substantially aligned and the resultant product.

Abstract: The present invention provides a soy protein containing composition for use in formulating confectionary food bars. In particular, the soy protein containing composition is formed of two types of protein materials, a structural protein material and a binding protein material. The protein composition provides a soft, palatable texture to confectionary food bars in which it is incorporated. The present invention is also directed to soft confectionary food bar compositions containing a structural soy protein material and a binding soy protein material, and processes for making such food bar compositions.
Abstract: A Bowman-Birk Inhibitor Concentrate (BBIC) that has a high protein content. The BBIC is made from conventional soybeans using ultrafiltration, without acid or alcohol extraction or acetone precipitation.

Abstract: A soy protein material having a very low isoflavones content and a high saponins content is produced by a process that involves removal, by adsorption, of isoflavones from a soy protein material obtained by removing fiber from soy flour or flakes. The soy protein material also has a high Nitrogen Solubility Index (“NSI”). The low isoflavones, high saponins soy protein material has at least about 55.0 wt. % protein, less than about 200 ?g/g isoflavones of total dry matter and at least about 1000 ?g/g soyasapogenols of total dry matter. The process for producing the low isoflavones, high saponins soy protein material involves removing fiber from a defatted soybean material and obtaining a liquor that is subsequently pasteurized. Next, sugars and other small molecular weight components are optionally removed from the liquor using membrane separation to increase the protein content of the final material.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a kit for determining feline blood type, wherein the kit includes a mixture comprised of a first monoclonal antibody and a second monoclonal antibody, wherein both antibodies recognize feline blood group specific A antigens. The present invention also relates to a method for determining feline blood type, wherein the method utilizes two distinct monoclonal antibodies, which recognize feline blood group specific A antigens.

Abstract: Thermosetting, bottom-applied polymeric anti-reflective coatings exhibiting high optical density, rapid plasma etch rates, high solubility in preferred coating solvents, excellent feature coverage, and improved stability in solution are disclosed. The principal component of these new anti-reflective coatings is a polyester resin produced by the reaction of one or more difunctional aliphatic carboxylic acids with a stoichiometric excess of a di- and/or a trifunctional aliphatic primary alcohol, wherein at least one of the dicarboxylic acids may contain a reactive methylene (--CH.sub.2 --) group. The resulting polyester resin reaction product is further modified by attaching light-absorbing groups to some or all of the reactive methylene groups (if present) and/or hydroxy groups present on the resin. The dye-attached polyester resin is combined with an aminoplast crosslinking agent and acid catalyst in a suitable solvent system to form the final anti-reflective coating.

Abstract: Apparatus and method is disclosed for a data collection and monitoring system that utilizes a pen based hand held computer unit which has contained therein interaction software that allows the user to review maintenance procedures, collect data, compare data with historical trends and safety limits, and input new information at various collection sites. The system has a means to allow automatic transfer of the collected data to a main computer data base for further review, reporting, and distribution purposes and uploading updated collection and maintenance procedures. The hand held computer has a running to-do list so sample collection and other general tasks, such as housekeeping are automatically scheduled for timely completion. A done list helps users to keep track of all completed tasks. The built-in check list assures that work process will meet the applicable processes and procedures.
