20140255965 | METHODS, COMPOSITIONS, AND KITS FOR DETECTING PROTEASE ACTIVITY IN COMPLEX SAMPLES - Methods and kits are provided for measuring protease activity in samples such as feed or food samples. The methods include adding a water insoluble substrate with a signal producing group to a feed or food sample containing the protease activity to be measured, incubating the sample in phosphate-free buffer such that the signal is produced, and measuring the amount of protease activity in the sample. The methods do not require separation of the incubation buffer from the feed or food and allow for visual inspection of a colorimetric signal for a semi-quantitative measurement of the in-feed/in-food protease activity. Thus, the assay is advantageous as it can be performed on-site without the use of laboratory equipment. | 09-11-2014 |
20140251903 | HYDROLYTIC DEGRITTER - The present invention relates to improving the results of anaerobic digestion of organic waste especially animal manure such as chicken manure by removing the grit in the waste. by digesting the waste in a slurry at a temperature of 50 degrees C. or more for a period of time sufficient for the grit to settle out of the slurry. | 09-11-2014 |
20140251899 | SECONDARY SOLID-PHASE ANAEROBIC DIGESTION PRODUCING MORE BIOGAS - The present invention relates to a method for taking liquid anaerobic digestion effluent and increasing the solids content by using the effluent and biomass to further digest both. | 09-11-2014 |
