Patent number: 10219518Abstract: A method for inhibiting methane production in the digestive tract of methanogenic Archaea (e.g., termites, other wood boring pests). The inhibiting of the critical biochemical pathways specific to the methanogenic Archaea is achieved by having the methanogenic Archaea ingest an anti-methanogenic compound. The anti-methanogenic compound may include, for example, naturally-occurring statins or derivatives thereof, linoleic acid or related compounds, essential oils, or some combination thereof. The naturally-occurring statins can be found in the red yeast rice extract or related biomass. As a result, the effectiveness of the methanogenic Archaea to produce methane is compromised, which subsequently results into the malfunctioning of the xylophages' digestive system. This provides a safe, natural, green and sustainable means of controlling many pests such as the Asian Beetle, Emerald Ash borer, Weevils, Deathwatch Caterpillars, and termites.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2016Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: Environmental Intellectual Property, Inc.Inventors: Michael Scalzi, James Mueller, Antonis Karachalios

Patent number: 10219521Abstract: Food products, apparatus, systems and methods in which a removable insert is cooked inside a portion of bread dough, and the cooked bread is then cut to remove the insert. Inserts can be made with any safe material, preferably a polymer or a metal alloy, reusable or for one-time use only. Preferred inserts have a size and shape typical of a hamburger meat patty. Dough imbedded with an insert is cooked, preferably by baking in an oven at a temperature less than 250° C. for 15-20 min. After cooling, the bun is cut into two pieces, preferably substantially vertically and at least 10% off the center. The exposed insert is then removed, leaving a cavity in each piece of the bun.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2018Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Inventor: Yu Jane Huang

Patent number: 10219523Abstract: The invention relates to a process of compacting a microporous fat powder, notably a microporous fat powder that can suitably be used as an oil structuring agent. The process comprises feeding said fat powder into the feed zone of an extruder having a forwarding screw and a barrel within which the forwarding screw is centrally positioned; rotating the forwarding screw to advance the fat powder feed through a compacting zone of the extruder, where the barrel comprises a plurality of venting openings having a shorter dimension that exceeds the volume weighted average diameter of the fat powder feed and that is less than 10 mm; and expelling the compacted fat powder from the extruder; wherein the temperature of the fat powder during passage through the extruder is maintained below 40° C. and wherein the compaction factor achieved exceeds 1.5.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2016Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: UPFIELD US INC.Inventors: René Joachim Buter, Albert Korres, Teunis de Man

Patent number: 10219524Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a moisture-resistant edible food coating composition that comprises a polymer and an organic solvent, and a method for applying the same. The claimed edible coating has a reduced viscosity which enables more efficient application of the coating to a bakery product, reduces surface blemishes or textural defects on a frozen bakery product, and permits the frozen bakery product to show a fresh, “ready-to-eat” appearance upon thawing that will extend the shelf life and enhance the commercial value of the bakery product.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2014Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: DAWN FOOD PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Julio Alberto Torres San Juan, Jane L. Kutner, Juan Gabriel Gonzalez Juarez, Miles Elton Jones, Rolando Jesus Alanis Villarreal

Patent number: 10219525Abstract: A process for modifying starches comprises atomizing an aqueous slurry of a non-pregelatinized, granular, high amylose starch into to an internal chamber in a bi-fluid nozzle of a dryer and treating the atomized slurry, in the internal chamber, with medium pressure steam to produce a slurry of partially treated starch granules followed by discharging the slurry into a reactor where it is contacted with superheated steam to produce dry, particulate, cold water-swelling, intact, high amylose starch granules. The cold water-swelling, intact, high amylose starch granules have greater than 15% solubles. At a starch concentration of 1%, in UDMSO (9 volumes DMSO and 1 volume 6M urea) at 25° C., the ratio of apparent viscosity of said cold water-swelling, intact, high amylose starch granules to the apparent viscosity of the parent non-pregelatinized, granular, high amylose starch is lower than 1.00.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2012Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: Cargill, IncorporatedInventors: Marc Berckmans, Jozef Victor Jean-Maria Coppin, Stephane Jules Jerome Debon
