Kenneth C. Goodnight, Jr. 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).

  • Liquid dietary product containing soy protein membrane isolate
    Patent number: 4091120
    Abstract: Superior soy protein beverages are prepared by formulation of carbohydrate, fat, or other nutritional ingredients with the liquid retentate of a soy protein ultrafiltration purification process without first recovering the soy protein by precipitation or drying of the retentate. Short-time high-temperature heat treatment of soy protein solution purified by ultrafiltration improves functional and nutritional qualities thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 15, 1976
    Date of Patent: May 23, 1978
    Assignee: Mead Johnson & Company
    Inventors: Kenneth C. Goodnight, Jr., Grant H. Hartman, Jr., Robert F. Marquardt
  • Low carbohydrate oilseed lipid-protein comestible
    Patent number: 4088795
    Abstract: An oilseed lipid-protein product adapted for food use is prepared by aqueous extraction of fat containing oilseed materials including the ground raw oilseed or full-fat oilseed flour or flake at a pH in excess of the isoelectric range of the protein for the purpose of solubilizing the protein. Insoluble material is removed by centrifugation or filtration, and soluble carbohydrate is removed from the resulting lipid-protein emulsion by membrane filtration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 1976
    Date of Patent: May 9, 1978
    Assignee: Mead Johnson & Company
    Inventors: Kenneth C. Goodnight, Jr., Grant H. Hartman, Jr.
  • Low phytate isoelectric precipitated soy protein isolate
    Patent number: 4072670
    Abstract: Soy protein isolate having a greatly reduced content of phytic acid and phytate complexes and high nutritional quality is prepared by aqueous extraction of defatted soy flakes at a pH in excess of the isoelectric value of the protein, basification of the extract to a pH in excess of pH 10.5, and removal of insolubles. The soy protein is then precipitated from the clarified extract by acidification within the isoelectric range.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 26, 1976
    Date of Patent: February 7, 1978
    Assignee: Mead Johnson & Company
    Inventors: Kenneth C. Goodnight, Jr., Grant H. Hartman, Jr., Robert F. Marquardt
  • Soy lipid-protein concentrate
    Patent number: 4039696
    Abstract: A process is described by means of which whole soybeans are converted into a milk-like product which is bland in flavor, has functionality characteristics similar to cow's milk, and which has a substantially reduced proportion of soybean carbohydrate. The process involves a combination of blanching, wet grinding, homogenizing, centrifuging, and heat treating steps.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 2, 1976
    Date of Patent: August 2, 1977
    Assignee: Mead Johnson & Company
    Inventors: Robert F. Marquardt, Grant H. Hartman, Jr., Kenneth C. Goodnight, Jr.
  • Aqueous purified soy protein and beverage
    Patent number: 3995071
    Abstract: Soy protein having greatly reduced phytic acid and phytate complexes is prepared by aqueous extraction of defatted soy flakes, basification to a pH in excess of 10.1, and removal of insolubles. The clarified extract may be reduced in mineral and carbohydrates content by ultrafiltration. The purified aqueous extract may be advantageously used directly in the preparation of liquid dietary products without drying.
