  • FERMENTATION METHOD
    Publication number: 20230051903
    Abstract: A fermentation process includes contacting a starch hydrolysate with a glucoamylase with agitation. And allowing for settling to form a multi-phase solution. A first phase of the multi-phase solution includes a saccharide component comprising about 30 wt % to about 80 wt % (e.g., 30 wt % to 70 wt %, 30 wt % to 60 wt %) based on a total carbohydrate present. The method further includes draining the first phase to isolate the first phase from a second phase to form a fermentation broth comprising a first portion of the first phase. The method further includes fermenting the fermentation broth until a concentration of glucose in the fermentation broth is 40 g/L or less. The method includes adding a second portion of the first phase to the fermentation broth to maintain a concentration of glucose in a range of from about 1 g/L to about 20 g/L in the fermentation broth.

  • Spectroscopic evaluation of edible oil using profiles
    Patent number: 11579132
    Abstract: A characteristic of edible oil may be evaluated using a spectrometer. For example, optical reflectance data may be obtained from edible oil in situ in a frying apparatus housing the edible oil, the reflectance data corresponding to a specified range of infra-red wavelengths. A model profile corresponding to the characteristic being assessed may be obtained, such as from a repository housing a secured library of such profiles. The model profile may define a regression vector for use in transforming the reflectance data to generate a value corresponding to the characteristic being assessed. A criterion may be applied to the value to establish a simplified representation of the characteristic for presentation to a user for assessment of oil quality.

  • GENETICALLY MODIFIED CELLS THAT PRODUCE C6-C10 FATTY ACID DERIVATIVES
    Publication number: 20220403425
    Abstract: Genes encoding mutant 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthases are introduced into host cells. Certain of the mutants enhance the production of shorter-chain fatty acids and derivatives by the cell than do the wild-type (unmutated) enzymes. In other cases, the chain length is not significantly affected, but productivity is enhanced. In specific cases, both a shift toward lower chain length and higher productivity is seen. Cells producing the mutant 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthases are especially suitable for producing C6-C10 fatty acids and derivatives.
