  • Publication number: 20220259630
    Abstract: Described is a method for producing improved isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO) from maltodextrins. The improved method involves the complete or partial replacement of ?-amylase, as used in a conventional method, with a selected ?-amylase. The resulting IMO have longer chain-length and reduced residual glucose content compared to IMO produced using a conventional method.

  • Patent number: 11278041
    Abstract: Processes of treating grain (e.g., corn), involving milling the grain to produce milled grain wherein the grain germ remains intact in the milled grain, and producing a mixture by mixing the milled grain with water and at least one enzyme selected from the group consisting of protease, alpha amylase, glucoamylase, cell wall degrading enzyme, and mixtures thereof, wherein the pH of the mixture is optionally adjusted to a pH of about 3.5 to about 6.5, and incubating the mixture for about 1 to about 3 hours to produce an incubated mixture.
