Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method of producing diacylglycerides comprising mixing one or more fatty acid esters of glycerol and at least one enzyme selected from a lipase and an endo-lipase and transesterifying at least a portion of the one or more fatty acid esters of glycerol to produce diacylglycerides. The enzyme may be a free enzyme or the enzyme may be immobilized. The fatty acid esters of glycerol may comprise at least one of monoacylglycerides, diacylglycerides, and triacylglycerides. Additionally, embodiments of the method of the present invention may comprise mixing at least one of a fatty acid and a fatty acid lower alcohol ester with the one or more fatty acid esters of glycerol and the enzyme. Additional embodiments may comprise mixing glycerol with the one or more fatty acid esters of glycerol and the enzyme.

Abstract: A process for improving the solubility of hydrophobic amino acids in which hot saturated aqueous solutions of at least two different amino acids are first combined. A first step includes making a hot saturated aqueous solution of a first and hydrophobic amino acid having a low solubility in water. A second step includes making a hot saturated aqueous solution of a second and hydrophilic amino acid having a high solubility in water. Then the two hot saturated aqueous solutions are mixed to prepare a combined hot solution mixture, and dried. The resulting product is an amino acid food supplement which is blended into animal feed. The preferred amino acids are tryptophan and lysine, when the animal is a domestic farm animal. A preferred ratio is where the concentration of tryptophan is greater than 50 grams per liter and the concentration of lysine is greater than 300 grams per liter.

Abstract: A modified vegetable protein binder produced by and a method of producing a modified vegetable protein binder for paper coatings by bleaching a vegetable protein extract with an oxidizing agent and a magnesium compound to provide a bleached vegetable protein material and then modifying the bleached vegetable protein. The modification is generally hydrolyzing the bleached vegetable protein and when desired, also carboxylating the bleached vegetable protein.

Abstract: A method of producing a modified vegetable protein binder for paper coatings having improved whiteness, brightness and strength wherein a vegetable protein material is oxidized with an oxidizing agent and a low level of magnesium compound.
