Abstract: Method for the production of ethanol from corn fibers. Invention relates to a process for the preparation of ethanol from a corn fiber containing feedstock by using a set of process steps specifically identified for the treatment of the said feedstock. It particularly relates to the use of a soaking followed by mix acid and enzyme treatment that release fermentable C5 and C6 sugars from said feedstock. It further relates to using a recombinant yeast to convert both C5 and C6 sugars to ethanol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for distillation to reduce steam consumption has been disclosed. The system comprises of an analyser column 11, multiple pressure booster units (fan set-I 79, fan set-II 24, and fan set-III 29), a rectifier column 15, a plurality of evaporator units (30,12), a splitter unit 05, a plurality of de-superheating units (03, 80), and additional DDGS dryer unit 25. The integration of pressure booster units (fan set-I 79, fan set-II 24, and fan set-III 29) and additional DDGS dryer unit 05 increases the steam (vapor) production and reduces the steam (vapor) consumption in the system from external source and balances the optimization of process energy requirements, energy cost, and process carbon intensity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of dry lyophilized powdered formulations of probiotic bacteria for monogastric animal (for example poultry birds) using a combination of different polymers through the process of encapsulation. The resulting lyophilized powders of probiotic bacteria are having increased viability during animal feed processing, storage and upon transfer to the monogastric animal's digestive system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of EPA and DHA enriched glycerides from degummed oil using microbial lipase enzymes. It particularly relates to the use of very less concentrations of said enzymes and water for the hydrolysis process. Used lipase enzymes specifically removes non-EPA/DHA fatty acids which results in enriched and balanced content of EPA/DHA in to the final product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the preparation of dry formulations of dairy probiotic bacteria using a combination of different polymers. The said formulations having increased viability during processing, storage and upon transfers to the rumen of the dairy animals. Further said formulations having high tolerance to lactate and acetate in the rumen of dairy animals.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the purification of crude rice bran wax using an alcohol as a purifying solvent under high pressure conditions. It particularly relates to the use of ethyl alcohol as said solvent for efficient and economic purification of crude rice bran wax into economically valuable high purity wax products.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of tocols [tocopherols (T) and tocotrienols (T3)] and squalene from vegetable oil refining by-products like fatty acid distillates. It particularly relates to the process of preparation of tocopherols, tocotrienols and squalene without any degradation from the fatty acid distillates obtained during processing of oils from the palm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method the preparation of an inverted sugar product, called high test molasses, using novel reaction parameters. More particularly it relates to the preparation of high-test molasses using an acid wherein the loss of sugar due to use of acid and high temperature as in conventional method is eliminated.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for production of ethanol from lignocellulosic material. Lignocellulosic material treated with a dicarboxylic acid, preferably with oxalic acid, separating a hemicellulosic fraction to ferment pentose sugar. The lignin is dissolved in alkali, preferably with NaOH, separating a cellulose fraction for further enzymatic treatment with one or more than one cellulytic enzymes capable of hydrolyzing cellulose. The enzyme hydrolyasate is further subjected to fermentation in the presence of ethanol-producing yeast, preferably Sacchoromyces cerevisiae. The fermented broth is further subjected to distillation followed by dehydration to yield ethanol.
