  • Production of fermented food products
    Patent number: 5827552
    Abstract: This invention discloses novel methods of making fermented food products such as yogurt. It also discloses novel Lactobacillus bulgaricus organisms for making fermented food products which are conditionally sensitive, that is, operate to metabolize a desired compound normally under the processing conditions for fermented food products but slow or decrease in activity beyond what is normal under the routine storage temperatures for the fermented food products. Such fermented food products exhibits improved shelf life and long-term taste.

  • Cleaning compositions comprising the subtilisin enzyme encoded by the gene sprC
    Patent number: 5677163
    Abstract: There are described, cleaning compositions comprising proteolytic enzymes having enhanced thermal and/or alkaline stability. Particularly, the compositions comprise a Bacillus sp. subtilisin having enhanced thermal stability and alkaline stability. The composition may be useful for any cleaning application such as laundry cleaning, household cleaning (dishcare, hard surface cleaning) or industrial cleaning.
