Patent number: 11617382Abstract: A method is disclosed for making palatable methionine-restricted foods, to deliver a methionine-restricted diet to human or veterinary patients. A protein or a food product containing protein is partially oxidized, preferably with ozone, to oxidize nearly all of the methionine and cysteine. After oxidation, tryptophan and lysine are optionally added back since they tend to be oxidized also. Optionally, a small amount of methionine is also added back so that the final methionine is within a preferred range of about 0.85 to about 1.8 gram methionine per 100 gram total protein, preferably about 1.2 gram per 100 gram total protein.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical CollegeInventors: John W.

Patent number: 8334000Abstract: An extract of Chinese blackberry (Rubus suavissimus) has been found to inhibit angiogenesis, and two active fractions isolated. Gallic acid was shown to be one of the active anti-angiogenic compounds by an in vitro human angiogenesis model. Aqueous extracts from other plants either known or found to have gallic acid were also found to have anti-angiogenic activity. Various derivatives of gallic acid were found to inhibit angiogenesis. The extract from Chinese blackberry also slowed the growth of a pancreatic tumor and of corneal neovascularization in rats. Extracts from pomegranate were shown to inhibit angiogenesis in fat tissue. Extracts from Rubus spp, and other plants with gallic acid, and gallic acid and its derivatives will be useful for treating various diseases associated with neovascularization, including diabetic retinopathy, psoriasis, tumors, obesity, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2010Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University And Agricultural and Mechanical CollegeInventors: Frank L.

Patent number: 7150141Abstract: Presented in one embodiment is a waist chain comprising a plurality of links; a plurality of coupling members which connect the plurality of links, thereby forming a chain with two ends; and at least one end connection member which is connectable to both ends of the chain such that the chain becomes continuous. The waist chain is positioned tightly around the waist of a person such that as the person's weight increases, the waist chain becomes increasingly tight. Presented in another embodiment is a waist chain comprising a plurality of links; a plurality of coupling members which connect the plurality of links, thereby forming a chain with two ends; at least one end connection member which is connectable to both ends of the chain such that the chain becomes continuous and at least one end link which is connectable to one or both ends of the chain and to the end connection member. The end connection member is a hollow cylinder comprising a side wall.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2003Date of Patent: December 19, 2006Assignee: Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University Agricultural & Mechanical CollegeInventors: Frank L.

Patent number: 6417231Abstract: A method and composition are disclosed for administering pyruvate in high doses to mammals, including humans. The method and composition do not produce an excessive acid load, salt load, or nitrogen load.

Patent number: 5952026Abstract: A potato chip having no added fat and process for preparation thereof, wherein a slice of undehydrated fresh potato having no added fat and no coating of globular protein and having a thickness of about 1 to about 3 millimeters is heated in a microwave oven at high intensity, with periodic heating separated by periodic cooling for a period of time sufficient to produce a product having essentially the same flavor, color and crispness as potato slices fried in deep fat. The resulting potato chip has substantially reduced calories as compared with potato chips fried in deep fat or oil, and has essentially the same low fat content as uncooked potatoes. Optionally, the slice may be coated with a non-globular protein coating prior to microwave heating. Such a coating may include salt, non-globular protein, flavorants, spices, and/or vitamin additives, as desired, but preferably does not contain any fat which would increase the fat and calorie content of the finished potato chip.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1993Date of Patent: September 14, 1999Inventors: Frank L. Greenway, George A. Bray
