Publication number: 20170325481Abstract: A method of forming an encapsulated composition with enhanced solubility and stability. A bicontinuous or Winsor Type III microemulsion is formed using an emulsifier, a solvent and a co-emulsifier. An active composition is added to the microemulsion resulting in a micellar network of the active composition within the microemulsion. The active composition can be either water-soluble or oil-soluble or both.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2017Publication date: November 16, 2017Inventors: Pei-Yong CHOW, Hai Meng TAN, Harish METHIL

Patent number: 8815315Abstract: Disclosed is a method for improving the digestibility and amino acid profile of proteinaceous animal feed products by the use of a combination of acidic, alkaline and/or neutral proteases. The selection and amounts of the proteases is based on the particular animal feed product and on the conditions of the gastrointestinal tract of the animal to be fed the treated animal feed. Use of the treated animal feed will reduce the amount of amino acid supplementation required, reduce the amount of nitrogen in animal feces, and improve the economical performance of the animal.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2008Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Kemin Industries, Inc.Inventors: Allan Lim, Fui-Fong Yong, Hai-Meng Tan

Patent number: 8192773Abstract: A stabilized carotenoid-based pigmenter free of synthetic antioxidants for the addition to animal feed to add color to tissues of animals fed the animal feed. The carotenoid-based pigmenter contains free-form carotenoids obtained from natural sources through a saponification reaction. A natural antioxidant, such as grape seed extracts, green tea extracts, clove bud oil, clove leaf oil, Vitamin C, cinnamon leaf oil, oleoresin turmeric, tocopherol, tocotrienol, rosemary extracts and gallic acid or salts thereof combined with a diluent, preferably glycerol or a glycerol-like substance, is added to the pigmenter after the saponification reaction.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2007Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Kemin Industries, Inc.Inventors: Sai-Kaw Leow, Jesuadimai Ignatius Xavier Antony, Hai-Meng Tan, Sek-Yeo Ng

Publication number: 20110039003Abstract: The present invention is directed to a safe and inexpensive antioxidative composition being able to produce from relatively inexpensive raw material originated from natural resources, the antioxidative composition being excellent in effective antioxidation for a raw material for feed and food. This antioxidative composition comprises a distillate obtained from a production process of a vegetable oil, an oil-soluble-electron donor component and a viscosity reducing agent having a liquid oil derived form a plant.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2009Publication date: February 17, 2011Applicant: KEMIN JAPAN KKInventors: Naohiro Gotoh, Shun Wada, Atsushi Tsunoda, Hai Meng Tan

Patent number: 7758884Abstract: The absorption and deposition of carotenoids added to poultry diets into the yolk of eggs produced by the poultry is improved by adding a carotenoid formulation comprising a carotenoid, a vegetable oil, a surfactant, a chelating agent, an antioxidant, an alkali and a solvent. The carotenoid formulation can reduce the crystalline nature of lutein for its better dissolution in the formulation and the diet. This new formulation is capable of making more micelles for an effective transfer of lutein from the formulations to the aqueous layer. The new formulation can increase the bioavailability of lutein in chicken biological system and leads to more deposition in the blood and the egg. The lutein deposition in the egg was consistent for an extended period of time when this new formulation was added to the diet. Addition of this carotenoid formulation to the diet increased the antioxidant power of the blood. Eggs produced by poultry fed diets supplemented by the formulation have in excess of 0.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2005Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Kemin Industries, Inc.Inventors: Leow Sai Kaw, Goh Swee Keng, Jesuadimai Ignatius Xavier Antony, Hai Meng Tan

Patent number: 7495117Abstract: A dietary source of mineral in the form of a metal carboxylate is prepared using the acid-base-like reaction. A salt of a carboxylate anion and a by-product cation is reacted in aqueous solution with a salt of a metal cation and a by-product anion under conditions which form a metal carboxylate and the by-product salt. Solutions formed in the reaction may be applied directly to a dry carrier to produce a dry dietary supplement or, alternatively, the solutions may be filtered to remove precipitated by-product salt and the filtrate used as a liquid dietary supplement. Preferably, a reducing agent, such as ascorbic acid, is added to help prevent the oxidation of divalent to trivalent form of a metal salt, when an easily oxidized divalent metal is used as starting material.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2006Date of Patent: February 24, 2009Assignee: Kemin Industries, Inc.Inventors: Swee-Keng Goh, Jesuadimai Ignatius Xavier Antony, Hai-Meng Tan, Yeun-Mun Choo

Publication number: 20080299098Abstract: The present invention demonstrated the potential use of Lactobacillus johnsonii D115 as a probiotic, as a prophylactic agent or as a surface treatment of materials against human and animal pathogens such as Brachyspira pilosicoli, Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, Shigella sonnei, Vibrio cholera, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Campylobacter jejuni, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Clostridium perfringens, Yersinia enterocolitica, Escherichia coli, Klebbsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., Bacillus cereus, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium chlamydosporum. The proteineous antimicrobial compound was partially characterized and found to be heat tolerant up to 121° C. for 15 min, and acid tolerant up to pH1 for 30 min at 40° C. The compound is also stable to enzymatic digestion, being able to retain more than 60% antimicrobial activity when treated with pepsin and trypsin.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2008Publication date: December 4, 2008Inventors: Chea-Yun Se, Fui-Fong Yong, Hai-Meng Tan, Wee Ming Yeo, Alex Yeow-Lim Teo
