Patents by Inventor Salvatore P. Salerno

Salvatore P. Salerno has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6960451
    Abstract: A process of controlling the production of enzymatic protein hydrolysate from cold water animals, containing up to 90% free amino acids, cold fish oil, hydroxilaptite (calcium orthophosphate), proteins, peptides, vitamin, minerals and calcium salts of phosphorus. The process provides a greater degree of refining than existing technology through the use of acid and alkaline denaturation steps, in combination with advanced separation and drying technology. The new drying technology results in a higher-quality, less expensive mixture than was previously possible.

  • Publication number: 20040203134
    Abstract: The present invention comprises various uses of enzymatic protein hydrolysate (“EPH,”). The EPH production process involves the profound enzymatic protein hydrolysis of marine animal biomass, whereby cold-water fish wastes are reacted with viscera containing aggressive enzymes that are effective in even mild (slightly alkaline) medium of water. The EPH may be dried to a powder state that is made of approximately 70%-90% free amino acids, 10%-20% highly molecular peptides and 3%-5% vitamins, minerals and oils. The biological value of the EPH stems from the special mix of nutrients and the method by which they are obtained. EPH is particularly suitable as an enhancer for the acceleration of known biological and industrial processes, and most particularly, processes depending upon bacterial or cellular action.

  • Publication number: 20040038391
    Abstract: A method of production of enzymatic protein hydrolysate from cold water animals that takes place under continuous mixing and precisely controlled conditions until amino acids and very short peptides are produced. The enzymatic protein hydrolysate of the present invention is sterilized, fish-oil and solid particles are removed by means of centrifuging. The enzymatic protein hydrolysate contains up to 90% free amino acids, cold fish oil, hydroxilaptite (calcium orthophosphate), proteins, highly molecular peptides, vitamin, minerals and calcium salts of phosphorus. The production process involves mixing ground fish waste products with an enzyme source comprising cold-water fish guts and entrails, containing relatively aggressive enzymes that are effective in even mild (slightly alkaline) medium of water. The industrial method provides a greater degree of refining than existing technology through the use of acid and alkaline denaturation steps, in combination with advanced separation and drying technology.
