Patent number: 8471002Abstract: Processes for producing dairy products having lower levels of neutral lipids, and/or higher levels of polar lipids, by extraction using near critical carbon dioxide or dimethyl ether. These products may be used as ingredients in infant formulas. Infant formulas containing beta-serum are also claimed. “Beta-serum” means an aqueous dairy ingredient separated from dairy streams containing greater than 60% fat which have been through phase inversion from an oil-in-water to a water-in-oil emulsion, such as the serum produced during the production of butter oil.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2005Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Fonterra Co-Operative Group LimitedInventors: Katrina Fletcher, Owen Catchpole, John Bertram Grey, Mark Pritchard

Publication number: 20040144569Abstract: A fluid delivery system for degrading valuable items in the event on an attack is provided. A piston 30 is disposed within a cylinder 2. On demand gas under pressure can be admitted into the cylinder 2 so as to urge the piston to move towards an outlet 8, thereby expelling fluid 4 irrespective of the orientation of the delivery system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2003Publication date: July 29, 2004Inventors: Mark A. Pritchard, Paul D. Barretto

Patent number: 6592905Abstract: This invention is directed to a process for producing an immunoglobulin enriched whey protein fraction from whey protein solutions. More particularly, it relates to the production of a whey protein fraction enriched in immunoglobulin, and optionally a whey protein isolate, using a cation exchanger under selected conditions. The selected conditions require overloading the cation exchanger with potentially absorbable protein which causes the exchanger to adsorb preferentially whey proteins other than immunoglobulin. The invention is also directed to the products produced by the process of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 1998Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignees: Massey University, New Zealand Dairy BoardInventors: John Stephen Ayers, David Francis Elgar, Mark Pritchard

Patent number: 6555659Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for the purification of glycomacropeptide (GMP) with an amino acid composition containing no greater that 0.5% (w/w) phenylalanine, comprising the steps of contacting a GMP-containing feedstock with a first anion exchanger under conditions to adsorb the GMP, eluting the adsorbed GMP from the anion exchanger and removing impurities from the GMP-containing eluate by either: (i) contacting the GMP-containing eluate with a cation exchanger in conditions under which the impurities in the eluate are adsorbed onto the cation exchanger, or (ii) precipitating the impurities in GMP-containing eluate using conditions in which the GMP remains i solution, or (iii) contacting the GMP-containing eluate with a second anion exchanger in conditions under which the impurities in the eluate are adsorbed onto the anion exchanger, and recovering the GMP from whichever one or more of the steps (i), (ii) or (iii) was used.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2000Date of Patent: April 29, 2003Inventors: John Stephen Ayers, Kay Patricia Coolbear, David Francis Elgar, Mark Pritchard

Patent number: 6528622Abstract: A preparative method of isolating a preselected whey protein or group of whey proteins from a solution is provided. The method comprises the following steps: (a) contacting a whey protein solution with the preselected ion exchanger for a time and at a temperature sufficient to enable the preselected whey protein to be adsorbed; wherein the whey protein solution has (1) a protein content in the range of about 5% to about 20% by weight, (2) a pH of a preselected level, which is the level at which the preselected whey protein or group of whey proteins selectively binds to the preselected ion exchanger, and (3) a reduced ionic strength; and (b) recovering either or both of the following: (1) the whey protein component adsorbed in step (a), and (2) the breakthrough whey protein component not adsorbed in step (a).Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1999Date of Patent: March 4, 2003Assignees: Massey University, New Zealand Dairy BoardInventors: John Stephen Ayers, David Francis Elgar, Mark Pritchard

Patent number: 6457595Abstract: A system including modular components by which the system may be configured and reconfigured easily and quickly for the shelving or the storage of merchandise for the retail industry and other applications as needed and without the need for tools and conventional removable fastening means. The modular system includes a generally horizontal base and at least one vertical panel that can be easily and quickly releasably secured in one or other positions relative to the base. Preferred embodiments of the system include those having a base having securement apertures structured such that the vertical panel or panels may be releasably secured to the base without the need for conventional removable mechanical fasteners and tools and so that even an unskilled individual can quickly and easily arrange and rearrange the vertical panels relative to the base in a wide variety of possible useful configurations.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1999Date of Patent: October 1, 2002Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventors: David Mark Pritchard, Antonio Vardaro
