  • SURFACTANTS THAT IMPROVE THE CLEANING OF LIPID-BASED STAINS TREATED WITH LIPASES
    Publication number: 20170166842
    Abstract: Described are compositions and methods relating to the removal of oily stains from fabrics and other surfaces using a lipase in combination with a selected surfactant to mediate the release of fatty acids generated by the lipase. The compositions and methods have application in, e.g., laundry cleaning and dishwashing.
    Type: Application

  • DIRECT STARCH TO FERMENTABLE SUGAR
    Publication number: 20150152457
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods related to the direct conversion of the starch in a ground or fractionated grain into a fermentable sugar feedstock capable of serving as a carbon source for the industrial production of one or more products by a fermenting organism. Such conversions may be performed at temperatures at or below the initial gelatinization temperature of the starch present in the grain and may utilize one or more isolatable endogenous enzymes present in certain unrefined grains.
