  • Patent number: 9011959
    Abstract: A novel canola protein isolate made predominantly of 2S canola protein and having equal to better solubility properties and improved clarity properties, has an increased proportion of 2S canola protein and a decreased proportion of 7S canola protein. The novel canola protein isolate is formed by heat treatment or isoelectric precipitation of aqueous supernatant from canola protein micelle formation and precipitation, to effect precipitation of 7S protein which is sedimented and removed. Alternatively, the novel canola protein isolate may be derived from a selective membrane procedure in which an aqueous canola protein solution containing 12S, 7S and 2S canola proteins is subjected to a first selective membrane technique to retain 12S and 7S canola proteins in a retentate, which is dried to provide a canola protein isolate consisting predominantly of 7S canola protein, and to permit 2S canola protein to pass through the membrane.

  • Publication number: 20140128574
    Abstract: Protein concentrates and protein isolates, in addition to processes for the production of protein concentrates hydrolyzates thereof and protein isolates, are disclosed. In particular, the disclosure relates to a process for removing fiber from an oilseed meal, comprising: i) mixing an oilseed meal with a blending solvent, optionally water, saline solution, polysaccharide solution or protein containing solution, to form a mixture; ii) optionally adjusting the pH of the protein slurry to a pH of about 2 to about 10; iii) separating the mixture to form a protein slurry comprising soluble and insoluble proteins and an insoluble fiber fraction, and iv) extracting the protein slurry with an alcohol containing solvent to render soluble protein insoluble and separating and recovering the insoluble protein.

  • Publication number: 20140066597
    Abstract: A canola protein isolate useful in aquaculture is formed by a procedure in which canola oil seed meal is extracted to cause solubilization of protein in the canola oil seed meal to form an aqueous protein solution having a protein content of about 5 to about 40 g/L and a pH of about 5 to about 6.8. After separation of the aqueous protein solution from the residual canola oil seed meal, the protein concentration is increased to at least about 50 g/L while maintaining the ionic strength substantially constant by using a selective membrane technique. The concentrated protein solution is dried to provide a canola protein isolate having a protein content of at least about 90 wt % (N×6.25) d.b.

  • Publication number: 20140026257
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for enhancing various economically important yield-related traits in plants. More specifically, the present invention concerns a method for enhancing yield-related traits in plants by modulating expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a WI12-like (WIL) polypeptide or a SAWADEE-like polypeptide or a POZ-like (Pox virus and Zn Finger) polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a nucleic acid encoding a WIL polypeptide or a SAWADEE-like polypeptide or a POZ-like polypeptide, which have enhanced yield-related traits relative to control plants. The invention also provides hitherto unknown WIL-encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, and hitherto unknown POZ-like encoding nucleic acids, and constructs comprising the same, useful in performing the methods of the invention.
