  • Transformed yeast cells that ferment pentose sugars
    Patent number: 8367396
    Abstract: The present invention relates to host cells transformed with a nucleic acid sequence encoding a eukaryotic xylose isomerase obtainable from an anaerobic fungus. When expressed, the sequence encoding the xylose isomerase confers to the host cell the ability to convert xylose to xylulose which may be further metabolized by the host cell. Thus, the host cell is capable of growth on xylose as carbon source. The host cell preferably is a eukaryotic microorganism such as a yeast or a filamentous fungus. The invention further relates to processes for the production of fermentation products such as ethanol, in which a host cell of the invention uses xylose for growth and for the production of the fermentation product. The invention further relates to nucleic acid sequences encoding eukaryotic xylose isomerases and xylulose kinases as obtainable from anaerobic fungi.

  • METHOD TO PRODUCE FRIED VEGETABLE PRODUCTS
    Publication number: 20130017294
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the preparation of fried vegetable products. In particular, it relates to a method for the preparation of fried vegetable products which have been subjected to an asparagine-reducing enzyme. The method comprises reducing the amount of enzyme product formed on the surface of the enzyme-treated vegetable material due to the action of the asparagine-reducing enzyme. If the amount of enzyme product is reduced before frying, this will contribute to the colour and the quality of the frying oil and of products subsequently fried in the oil and, thus, will minimize the loss of quality of the frying oil. The invention also relates to use of an asparagine-reducing enzyme preparation for preserving the colour of the frying oil.
