  • Substrate mimicking intercellular lipids in stratum corneum and method of evaluating skin roughening using the same
    Patent number: 8969088
    Abstract: A substrate mimicking intercellular lipids in stratum corneum consisting of a substrate and a lipid membrane formed on the substrate, wherein the lipid membrane is formed from ceramide, palmitic acid and cholesterol, and the ceramide, palmitic acid and cholesterol are present at a mass ratio of 20-70%:10-60%:20-40% (ceramide:palmitic acid:cholesterol).

  • Deconstructing lignocellulosic biomass with a two-step method
    Patent number: 8173406
    Abstract: Lignocellulosic biomass is noted for its recalcitrance to deconstruction as a feedstock for biofuel production. A two-step pretreatment method with the aim of enhancing cellulose digestibility, bypassing the traditional severe pretreatment reaction conditions and improving the overall economics of biofuel production is disclosed herein. A 1st pretreatment step is used to partially remove hemicellulose and lignin. A 2nd pretreatment step using electrolyzed water is used to break the crystalline structure and to remove residual hemicellulose and lignin before enzymatic hydrolysis for releasing fermentable sugars. A digestibility of 95% can be achieved by the two-step approach.
