  • Enzyme-inhibitor complexes comprising a thermostable hydrolase and a temperature sensitive inhibitor
    Patent number: 11214783
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for selectively activating a thermostable hydrolase at a temperature above T1. The present invention provides compositions comprising a thermostable hydrolase and a temperature sensitive inhibitor, wherein said thermostable hydrolase and said temperature sensitive inhibitor form a hydrolase-inhibitor complex at a temperature below T1, but which dissociates at a temperature of about T1. The present invention also relates to uses of said compositions, and a method for preparing said compositions.

  • FLOUR IMPROVER AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20210186037
    Abstract: Flour improvers, chlorinated flour replacers comprising the flour improver, methods of preparing the flour improvers and chlorinated flour replacers, and uses thereof (e.g. for improving the textural properties of wheat flour-based high ratio cakes) are provided. The flour improver as disclosed herein comprises between 10% and 97.5% (w/w) of non-wheat flour, wherein the non-wheat flour is one or more non-wheat flours selected from the group consisting of rice flour, oat flour, quinoa flour and buckwheat flour; between 2% and 20% (w/w) of a gel-forming protein in addition to protein present in the non-wheat flour; and between 0.5% and 3% (w/w) of calcium 2+ ions.
