  • Publication number: 20240341333
    Abstract: This specification discloses de-flavored legume flour have less intense flavor profiles compared to untreated legume flour. The disclosed de-flavored legume flours have been processed to reduce flavor while minimizing damage to the components to the de-flavored legume flour (compared to an untreated legume flour). The disclosed de-flavored legume flours can be adjusted to have functionality like an untreated legume flour or to have improved function compared to untreated legume flour.

  • Publication number: 20230148628
    Abstract: The technology disclosed in this specification pertains to a plant-based meat analog comprising a pulse protein, and a vegetable oil. In any embodiment the pulse protein may be crosslinked. In any embodiment the oil may be provided as a structured vegetable oil comprising a vegetable oil and a water-soluble carrier. The plant-based meat analogs may further comprise moisture content of about 40% to about 65% by weight.

  • Patent number: 7375175
    Abstract: A dispersion of polymer particles, the particle containing, on average, one or more living radicals each, the radicals not being chemically protected. Further disclosed is a free radical polymerization process resulting in a dispersion containing polymer particles having on average one or more living radicals. The process involves carefully regulating the polymerization conditions to produce small size particles under monomer-starved conditions containing, on average, more than one living radical in every particle. These living polymer radicals can be further reacted to form polymers with a controlled architecture.

  • Publication number: 20070014985
    Abstract: Polymer dispersion forms a non-tacky film when dry. Under the application of a suitable impulse the morphology of the film is disrupted and the film becomes tacky. The compositions of the invention find use as thermally activated films and coatings, especially pressure sensitive adhesives.

  • Publication number: 20050250919
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a single stage free radical precipitation polymerization process for producing a copolymer involving admixing a solvent, a free-radical-forming agent, (meth)acrylic acid, and at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene, vinyl acetate, methylmethacrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, acrylonitrile, and isopropylacrylamide; initiating a free-radical precipitation polymerization to form a plurality of polymer radicals; precipitating a polymer from said polymer radicals; maintaining the admixture of reactants at a temperature above the lower critical solution temperature of said admixture; and controlling the temperature of said admixture to control the rate of propagation of the polymer. The process is useful for producing random copolymers of vinyl acetate or styrene with more than 4 percent and up to greater than 20 percent by weight of (meth)acrylic acid.
