Abstract: A turbomachine comprises a high-pressure rotor shaft defining an outer surface and including a rotor seal disposed along the outer surface. A compressor discharge plenum extends annularly around the outer surface of the high-pressure rotor shaft and is at least partially formed from an inner casing assembly defining a first airflow opening. The rotor seal is configured to form a first seal against a first surface of the inner casing assembly. A pressure seal disk is coupled to the high-pressure rotor shaft. The pressure seal disk is configured to form a second seal against a second surface of the inner casing assembly. The inner casing assembly, the high-pressure rotor shaft, the rotor seal, and the pressure seal disk form a pressure chamber therebetween.

Abstract: Alkaline extraction followed by acid precipitation or ultrafiltration method for preparation of protein isolates from oilseeds cakes/meals is followed. The strong alkaline and acidic conditions alter the functional properties of the protein, which adversely affects its quality. The present invention provides a microbial based process to produce protein isolates/concentrates from oilseed cakes/meals or from other similar type of sources either plant or animal origin without addition of strong or diluted acid. The protein is extracted in aqueous media or alkaline aqueous media with or without containing specified salt for specified duration. The extract is centrifuged, mixed with known microbial culture (the process is not limited to the particular strain) and incubated at particular temperature and duration. The precipitated protein is recovered and dried to get protein isolates/concentrates.
