  • Method for producing breads with a recombinant yeast which expresses a photoprotein
    Patent number: 6761916
    Abstract: A method for producing breads by use of a yeast which has been transformed with a photoprotein expression recombinant vector, the vector containing a fragment of a yeast-derived agglutinin gene and a gene coding for a photoprotein. The present invention enables to produce breads having a soft flavor of fermentation and exhibiting excellent expansion, thinly and uniformly stretched internal grain, and a smooth, good-shaped external appearance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2002
    Date of Patent: July 13, 2004
    Assignee: Nisshin Seifun Group Inc.
    Inventors: Tatsurou Maeda, Masaharu Yamada, Kouji Takeya
  • Method for analysis of the textural structure of food of a multi-component dispersion system
    Patent number: 6720185
    Abstract: A method for analysis of the textural structure of a food of a multi-component dispersion system, in which a food of a multi-component dispersion system is stained with a fluorescent dye, and observing the stained food within a wavelength range lower than the value calculated by subtracting 40 nm from the maximum absorption wavelength of the employed fluorescent dye. The method enables image analysis through stereoscopic visualization of the textural structure of a food of a multi-component dispersion system.
