Patent number: 7739979Abstract: A tumble breading system for applying a breading material to a food includes a housing designating an internal clean area, and an infeed belt for conveying the breading material and the food, arranged across the infeed belt in an infeed order, into the clean area. A rotary assembly with a plurality of vertically offset, rotating tumblers accepts and tumbles the food with the breading material as the tumblers rotate, to bread the food. An output belt accepts the breaded food from the tumblers and conveys the breaded foods from the clean area and the housing. The food arrives at the output belt in substantially the infeed order.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2007Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: John Bean Technologies CorporationInventors: Dennis Dean Brady, Sr., Quentin Duane Pendergrass

Patent number: 7700335Abstract: A process for producing enzymes structures includes providing an emulsion of droplets of a first liquid phase dispersed in a second liquid phase. The one liquid phase is a hydrophilic phase, while the other liquid phase is a hydrophobic phase which is immiscible with the hydrophilic phase. Enzyme molecules are located at or within interfacial boundaries of the droplets and the second liquid phase. The enzyme molecules of the respective droplets are cross-linked so that individual enzyme structures, which are stable and in which the enzymes are immobilized with a majority of active sites of the enzymes being orientated either internally or externally, are formed from individual droplets.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2005Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: CSIRInventors: Francis Dean Moolman, Dean Brady, Avashnee Chetty, Heidi Rolfes, Justin Jordaan

Patent number: 7026144Abstract: A process of separating a single desired stereoisomer from a racemic mixture of eight stereoisomers of a compound of formula (III), wherein R1 represents an isopropanol group, an isopropyl group or an isopropylene group, includes the steps of: contacting the racemic mixture in a suitable organic solvent with an esterifying agent and a stereospecific enzyme which stereoselectively esterifies the —OH group of the desired stereoisomer, for a time sufficient to convert a desired percentage of the desired stereoisomer to a compound of formula (IV), wherein R1 is as defined above and R4 is an alkyl or an aryl group, to give a first reaction product including the compound of formula (IV), the organic solvent, the unconverted stereoisomers of the compound of formula (III), excess esterifying agent and by-products of the reaction; and separating the compound of formula (IV) from the first reaction product.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2001Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: CSIRInventors: Jennifer Ann Chaplin, Neil Stockenstrom Gardiner, Robin Kumar Mitra, Christopher John Parkinson, Madrie Portwig, Butana Andrew Mboniswa, Melanie Daryl Evans-Dickson, Dean Brady, Stephanus Francois Marais, Shavani Reddy
