  • Patent number: 4072670
    Abstract: Soy protein isolate having a greatly reduced content of phytic acid and phytate complexes and high nutritional quality is prepared by aqueous extraction of defatted soy flakes at a pH in excess of the isoelectric value of the protein, basification of the extract to a pH in excess of pH 10.5, and removal of insolubles. The soy protein is then precipitated from the clarified extract by acidification within the isoelectric range.

  • Patent number: 3985897
    Abstract: Dextrorotatory stereoisomers of beta-adrenergic stimulatory phenethanolamines such as isoproterenol, soterenol, salbutamol, carbuterol, terbutaline, and metaproterenol lower normal or elevated intraocular pressure when topically administered to the eye. Reduction in intraocular pressure is of particular importance in the treatment of glaucoma, a disease marked by ocular hypertension. The dextrorotatory phenethanolamine compounds employed in the process of the present invention are notable for the low order of adrenergic activity in contrast to levorotatory and racemic stereoisomeric forms which are very potent beta-adrenergic stimulatory agents. Consequently, those side effects generally associated with adrenergic activation such as tachycardia, mydriasis, hypertension and hypotension are absent.
