| 20110071284 | NOVEL B-TYPE GENE FROM OIL PALM - The present invention relates generally to genetic sequences and their complementary forms capable of facilitating the modification of a phenotype of a plant. More particularly, the present invention relates to polynucleotide sequences defining B-type genes, to the proteins encoded thereby, to methods for isolating such polynucleotides and to nucleic acid constructs for the expression thereof. The present invention further provides cells, particularly transformed bacterial or plant cells and to differentiated tissue including whole plants and their progeny comprising cells which contain these nucleic acid constructs or parts of the constructs. Plants and parts of plants, such as flowering and reproductive parts including seeds, also form part of the present invention. The genetic sequences of the present invention may be used inter alia for the production of plants and, in particular, oil palm plants, which have modified phenotypes and/or which exhibits more highly desired characteristics such as, for example, male sterility or plants in which the sex ratio may be manipulated, and for the diagnosis and, preferably, elimination of the mantled phenotype. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20100286068 | MOLECULAR MARKERS OF PLANT EMBRYOGENESIS - The present invention relates generally to a molecular marker for a plant physiological process and more particularly for plant embryogenesis. The molecular marker is, in one form, a genetic sequence from a monocot plant such as but not limited to oil-palm plants. In another form, the molecular marker is a polypeptide encoded by said genetic sequence. More particularly, the molecular marker of the present invention enables embryogenic tissue to be detected in vitro. The early detection of embryogenic tissue enables non-embryogenic tissue to be discarded. The ability to detect embryogenesis facilitates maximization of embryogenic potential. The present invention further contemplates a molecular marker comprising in one form a sequence of nucleotides encoding an antioxidant or in another form a sequence of amino acids defining a polypeptide having antioxidant activity. The antioxidant according to this aspect of the present invention is particularly useful in tablet or cream form as an anti-aging agent. The molecular markers of the present invention therefore also have uses in the inhibition or retardation of apoptotic processes. Such an effect has benefits in both plant and animal cells. The present invention further contemplates a promoter sequence encoding the molecular marker and its use in generating male sterile plants. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100240929 | PROCESS FOR PREPARING POLYMERS OF POLYHYDRIC ALCOHOLS - The present invention relates to a process for accelerated preparation of linear polymers of polyhydric alcohols using microwave irradiation as the heat element in the presence of specified catalysts. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100120151 | MOLECULAR MARKERS OF PLANT EMBRYOGENESIS - The present invention relates generally to a molecular marker for a plant physiological process and more particularly for plant embryogenesis.

| 20090317510 | LOW SODIUM, HIGH CALCIUM, PROTEIN HYDROLYSATE FLAVOR ENHANCER AND A METHOD PREPARE THEREOF - A method to produce flavor enhancer comprises the steps of hydrolyzing protein source in presence of catalysts at an operating temperature of 25° C. to 60° C. and pH 4 to 8 to form hydrolysate; or using strong acid on defatted protein source at high temperature above 95° C.; maintaining the pH of the hydrolyzing process; deactivating the catalysts in the hydrolysate; adjusting pH of the hydrolysate to 3.5-4.5 with calcium carbonate or acid; and filtering the hydrolysate through layers of activated carbon and/or calcium carbonate to obtain the flavor enhancer. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090270502 | Method for Lowering Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases - The present invention relates to a method for lowering risk of cardiovascular diseases in human, particularly for lowering low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration and oxidative stress level while maintaining sufficient high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration in human, and to a dietary formulation and a fat or fat blend suitable for human consumption for resulting in the same. The method is by way of controlling daily dietary fat and antioxidants consumption so that: daily dietary fat accounts for 20-40% of the total daily dietary energy intake; 10-20% wt of the fatty acids in daily dietary fat are saturated fatty acids (SFAs); 20-35% wt of the fatty acids in daily dietary fat are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs); 45-70% wt of the fatty acids in daily dietary fat are monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs); and the ratio of antioxidants to polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in daily dietary fat is ranging from about 15-70 ppm antioxidants/% wt PUFAs. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20090192329 | METHOD TO PRODUCE POLYHYDROXY CARBOXYLIC ACID ESTERS OF POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL - A method to produce polyethylene glycol ester comprises the step of reacting polyethylene glycols with polyhydroxy carboxylic acids or estolides polyhydroxy fatty acids at a temperature of 120° C. to 200° C. in the absence of any catalysts. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20080293913 | PROCESS TO PRODUCE POLYOLS - A process for producing oleochemical polyols comprises the steps of epoxidizing unsaturated oil using an organic acid together with oxygenated water or a per-acid to obtain epoxidized oil; washing the epoxidized oil with salt water to remove unused organic acid together with oxygenated water or a per-acid; neutralizing acidic condition of the washed epoxidized oil with a base; washing the neutralized epoxidized oil with a salt solution until the pH of the neutralized epoxidized oil reaching 6.5 to 7.5 to removed the base residue; drying the washed neutralized epoxidized oil under vacuum; and reacting the washed neutralized dried epoxidized oil with polyhydric alcohol in the presence of boron trifluoride-diethylether complex to produce the oleochemical polyols. The oleochemical polyols are then subjected to the same washing, neutralizing, washing and drying process as in preparing the washed neutralized dried epoxidized oil. | 11-27-2008 |
