  • Publication number: 20210386057
    Abstract: Described are methods of grain production with field conditioned pollen. A method of the present invention includes growing one or more designated female plants that include both female and male components, collecting fresh pollen from designated male plants from a different genetic background, and subjecting the fresh pollen to field conditions, which may regulate pollen moisture content. The field conditioning conditions may include a relative humidity ranging from about 50% to about 100%, a temperature ranging from about ?10-10° C., and an air pressure ranging from about 15 kPa to about 150 kPa. These conditions may result in pollen having a moisture content of about 40% to about 58%. The one or more designated female plants are intentionally cross-pollinated with the field conditioned pollen and then grown to maturity such that the grain may be harvested therefrom. Also provided is a method of preventing undesirable pollination in grain production.

  • Publication number: 20210386058
    Abstract: An antibacterial and deodorizing leather includes a leather body and an antibacterial and deodorizing layer. The antibacterial and deodorizing layer includes a water-based foaming material and an antibacterial deodorant. The water-based foaming material and the antibacterial deodorant are mixed and arranged on the leather body and then bonded with the leather body by hot pressing. By uniformly mixing the antibacterial deodorant and a bactericide through the water-based foaming material to become gelatinous, the antibacterial and deodorizing layer is arranged on the leather body according to the size of the leather body. Then, the antibacterial and deodorizing layer is tightly bonded with the leather body by hot pressing, achieving the effects of saving costs, simplifying the manufacturing process, and environmental protection.

    Abstract: A method for the fabrication of a textured copper or brass substrate in order to improve its disinfection process. The substrate can be a textured copper or brass tape or any product or touch surface that can be texturized. The textured metallic substrate can be a tape or a sheet or film or panel or any metallic surface that can be texturized (e.g. door knobs, hand rails, medical equipment, or table tops). Thus, already existing touch surfaces can be treated with the inventive texturing to enhance its disinfection effectiveness and reduce the transmission of diseases. The texturization process may be determined by the microbes to be confronted and their determined dimensions and configurations and may be texturized to a depth and width of between 2-10,000 microinches.

    Abstract: Production of orange juice is described. Raw orange juice is ultrafiltrated in an ultrafilter, thereby obtaining a UF retentate and a UF permeate. The UF permeate is nanofiltered in a nanofilter, thereby obtaining a NF retentate and a NF permeate. The UF retentate and the NF permeate are mixed and then pasteurized in a pasteurizer. The pasteurized mixture forms the orange juice, which is filled in packages. An orange juice having a reduced sugar content while still providing a favorable taste and color is then obtained.
