  • Glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine compositions and methods of making the same fungal biomass
    Patent number: 8222232
    Abstract: Glucosamine, N-acetylglucosamine and ?-glucan compositions suitable for human or animal consumption or use are disclosed. The glucosamine, N-acetylglucosamine and ?-glucan compositions are derived from fungal biomass containing chitin. Various methods of producing glucosamine, N-acetylglucosamine and ?-glucan compositions are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2006
    Date of Patent: July 17, 2012
    Assignee: Cargill, Incorporated

  • N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and process for producing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine
    Patent number: 6693188
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine obtained from microbial biomass, and to methods of obtaining N-acetyl-D-glucosamine from microbial biomass. In particular, the present invention is directed to the use of fungal biomass to create N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. The N-acetyl-D-glucosamine is efficiently obtained at high purity by degrading chitin in the fungal biomass to create N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.
