  • Alkyl ether amine foam control compounds and methods of processing foodstuffs
    Patent number: 12076664
    Abstract: Alkyl ether amines are used as foam control compounds in foodstuff processing. The alkyl ether amines can be used at various stages during industrial processing of vegetables, fruits, and plants, such as potatoes and beets. The alkyl ether amines are generally of lower molecular weights and therefore easily transported to the foam layer to break the foam structure. Further, the alkyl ether amines are water soluble and therefore can be readily removed from the food processing system.

  • FORMULATION GRAPH FOR MACHINE LEARNING OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS
    Publication number: 20240290440
    Abstract: Chemical formulations for chemical products can be represented by digital formulation graphs for use in machine learning models. The digital formulation graphs can be input to graph-based algorithms such as graph neural networks to produce a feature vector, which is a denser description of the chemical product than the digital formulation graph. The feature vector can be input to a supervised machine learning model to predict one or more attribute values of the chemical product that would be produced by the formulation without actually having to go through the production process. The feature vector can be input to an unsupervised machine learning model trained to compare chemical products based on feature vectors of the chemical products. The unsupervised machine learning model can recommend a substitute chemical product based on the comparison.
