Patents by Inventor Daniel Joseph WICHELECKI

Daniel Joseph WICHELECKI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230183768
    Abstract: The invention relates to improved processes for the enzymatic production of allulose using enzymes which have been characterized as having improved expression, improved stability, and low allulose to fructose conversion activity, relative to enzymes in other allulose production methods. Improved processes include steps of converting fructose-6-phosphate to allulose 6-phopsphate A6P) using an allulose 6-phosphate epimerase, and converting A6P to allulose using an allulose-6-phosphate phosphatase.
