  • Methods of improved yeast health and fermentation with urease
    Patent number: 11286457
    Abstract: Methods, compositions, and systems for propagation and fermentation, particularly large scale operations for production of ethanol and dried distiller's grain are provided. Addition of urease and urea to propagation and/or fermentation improves yeast health, fermentation efficiency, and quality and quantity of DDG. Urease can be in reagent form or can be endogenous to the natural feedstock.

  • METHODS OF MAKING ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOSITIONS AND/OR VIRUCIDAL DISINFECTANT COMPOSITIONS FROM VEGETABLE OIL, AND RELATED ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOSITIONS AND/OR VIRUCIDAL DISINFECTANT COMPOSITIONS AND USES
    Publication number: 20220049181
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for making one or more antimicrobial compositions and/or one or more virucidal disinfectant compositions. Said methods and systems include exposing a vegetable oil composition to ozone gas to cause ozonolysis of on one or more unsaturated fatty acids present in the vegetable oil composition, thereby forming an ozonated vegetable oil composition and exposing the ozonated vegetable oil composition to a temperature greater than 60° C. while in contact with water to decompose one or more ozonide compounds and form a heat-treated, ozonated vegetable oil composition. The present disclosure also relates to one or more uses of said one or more antimicrobial compositions and/or one or more virucidal disinfectant compositions.
