Patents by Inventor John R. Munoz

John R. Munoz 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: 20250002842
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for culturing almond seed tissue in a laboratory. Gene mapping of the almond is used to incorporate the almond genes that produce the lipid and protein into a yeast. The tissue is grown as a callus that may then be grown in a solid or liquid medium. The medium is used to feed the growing cells with nutrients at the predetermined conditions of light, temperature, and duration. The tissue cultivated in the laboratory converts to lipids, proteins, and flavonoids that make the almond distinct from other seeds.

  • Publication number: 20240141264
    Abstract: A method to expedite the growth of the agave plant by growing the plant tissue from a cell culture in a laboratory utilize incubator cells that are taken from the leaf of an agave plant and grown in a medium containing all the nutrients required for the production of new cells and the maturation of those new cells. The cells are then exposed to photosynthetic active radiation and fed with extra carbon dioxide, causing the cells to undergo photosynthesis and form the sugars that are found in a naturally growing agave plant. These cultivated cells are given an optimum amount of light and carbon dioxide to promote an unexpected and substantially higher growth rate than heretofore achieved.

The process can be used to make tequila and the sugars produced converted to sugar products such as syrup and crystalline sugar.
