  • Coated natural calcium carbonate oral care toothpowder composition
    Publication number: 20060134013
    Abstract: Toothpowder comprising natural calcium carbonate with a flavor oil coating is derived by agitating a particulated calcium carbonate bed and by spraying a nebula of flavor oil into the bed. The spray rate is controlled to preclude formation of agglomerated particles of the coated natural calcium carbonate.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: Nina Sharma, Ramesh Nair
  • Grain quality through altered expression of seed proteins
    Publication number: 20050204418
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for altering the levels of seed proteins in cereal grain. The invention is directed to the alteration of seed protein levels in plant grain, resulting in grain with increased digestibility/nutrient availability, improved amino acid composition/nutritional value, increased response to feed processing, improved silage quality, and increased efficiency of wet milling.
    Type: Application

  • Promoter and plasmid system for genetic engineering
    Publication number: 20050147968
    Abstract: This invention provides a series of low-copy number plasmids comprising restriction endonuclease recognition sites useful for cloning at least three different genes or operons, each flanked by a terminator sequence, the plasmids containing variants of glucose isomerase promoters for varying levels of protein expression. The materials and methods are useful for genetic engineering in microorganisms, especially where multiple genetic insertions are sought.
