Publication number: 20170158424Abstract: A disposable container having an opening configured to receive a liquid and having a consumable retained by an edible food package, the edible food package is connected to an inner wall of the disposable container. The edible food package is configured to dissolve when in contact with a liquid, thereby, releasing the consumable into the disposable cup forming a mixture. The disposable container has a lid with a rotatable barrier member. The rotatable barrier member substantially covers the opening of the disposable container when the lid is connected to the disposable container.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2015Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventor: Victoria Brown

Patent number: 9228211Abstract: A process of water degumming an edible oil (preferably a crude edible oil) comprising the steps of: a) admixing approximately 0.1-5% w/w water with an edible oil (preferably a crude edible oil) and a lipid acyltransferase, b) agitating the admixture for between about 10 minutes and 180 minutes at about 45 to about 900 C, and c) separating the oil phase and the gum phase. Preferably said lipid acyltransferase is a polypeptide having lipid acyltransferase activity which polypeptide is obtained by expression of the nucleotide sequence shown as SEQ ID No. 49 or a nucleotide sequence which as has 70% or more identity therewith; and/or is obtained by expression of a nucleic acid which hybridizes under medium stringency conditions to a nucleic probe comprising the nucleotide sequence shown as SEQ ID No. 49; and/or is a polypeptide having lipid acyltransferase activity which polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence shown as SEQ ID No. 68 or an amino acid sequence which as has 70% or more identity therewith.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2008Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: DUPONT NUTRITION BIOSCIENCES APSInventors: Jørn Borch Søe, Anne Victoria Brown

Publication number: 20120023599Abstract: The present invention provides genetically modified animals and cells comprising edited chromosomal sequences encoding cytochrome P450 (CYP) proteins. In particular, the animals or cells are generated using a zinc finger nuclease-mediated editing process. The invention also provides zinc finger nucleases that target chromosomal sequence encoding CYP proteins, as well as methods of using the genetically modified animals or cells disclosed herein to screen agents for toxicity and other effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2010Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: SIGMA-ALDRICH CO.Inventors: Edward Weinstein, Xiaoxia Cui, Victoria Brown-Kennerly
