Patent number: 11659850Abstract: Provided herein are methods for producing a mung bean protein isolate having high functionality for a broad range of food applications. In some embodiments, the methods for producing the isolate comprise one or more steps selected from: (a) extracting one or more mung bean proteins from a mung bean protein source in an aqueous solution, for example, at a pH between about 6.5-10.0; (b) purifying protein from the extract using at least one of two methods: (i) precipitating protein from the extract at a pH near the isoelectric point of a globulin-rich fraction, for example a pH between about 5.0-6.0; and/or (ii) fractionating and concentrating protein from the extract using filtration such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration or ion-exchange chromatography; and (c) recovering purified protein isolate.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: EAT JUST, INC.Inventors: Ritu Bansal-Mutalik, Siddharth Bhide, Brenna Gibson, Camilla Hall, Malgorzata Jakubasch, Jake Kleiner, Viviane Lanquar, Swetha Mahadevan, Trevor Niekowal, Jade Proulx, Ben Roche, Meng Xu, James Flatt, Nathaniel Park

Patent number: 11568287Abstract: Systems and methods for assaying a test entity for a property, without measuring the property, are provided. Exemplary test entities include proteins, protein mixtures, and protein fragments. Measurements of first features in a respective subset of an N-dimensional space and of second features in a respective subset of an M-dimensional space, is obtained as training data for each reference in a plurality of reference entities. One or more of the second features is a metric for the target property. A subset of first features, or combinations thereof, is identified using feature selection. A model is trained on the subset of first features using the training data. Measurement values for the subset of first features for the test entity are applied to thereby obtaining a model value that is compared to model values obtained using measured values of the subset of first features from reference entities exhibiting the property.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2017Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Just, Inc.Inventors: Lee Chae, Josh Stephen Tetrick, Meng Xu, Matthew D. Schultz, Chuan Wang, Nicolas Tilmans, Michael Brzustowicz

Patent number: 11270431Abstract: A system for high throughput foam analysis includes a foam generation system, an illumination source, a detection system and an analysis system. A foam generation system includes a first plurality of foaming units, each foaming unit including a foaming chamber and a gas induction mechanism. The illumination source provides an illumination to the foaming chamber of each foaming unit. The detection system includes a first camera configured to temporally record the foaming process in each foaming unit, thereby producing a first plurality of frames. The analysis system includes: at least one processor, and a memory including instructions for (i) obtaining a first respective frame in the first plurality of frames; (ii) segmenting the first respective frame into a first plurality of segmented images, and (iii) extracting, from each segmented image, one or more characteristics of the foam, thereby facilitating high throughput foam analysis of the first plurality of solutions.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2018Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Just, Inc.Inventors: Jasmin Hume, Chuan Wang, Diane Wiener
