In particular, it relates to a method for the preparation of fried vegetable products which have been subjected to an asparagine-reducing enzyme. The method comprises reducing the amount of enzyme product formed on the surface of the enzyme-treated vegetable material due to the action of the asparagine-reducing enzyme. If the amount of enzyme product is reduced before frying, this will contribute to the colour and the quality of the frying oil and of products subsequently fried in the oil and, thus, will minimize the loss of quality of the frying oil. The invention also relates to use of an asparagine-reducing enzyme preparation for preserving the colour of the frying oil. | 01-17-2013 |
20140017742 | PREPARATION OF MICROBIAL OIL - The present invention provides a process for the production of a microbial oil comprising culturing a micro-organism in a two stage fermentation process where, in a last stage that precedes the end of fermentation, the carbon source is: consumed by the micro-organisms at a rate greater than it is added to the medium; added at a rate # 0.30 M carbon/kg medium; or is rate limiting on the growth of the micro-organism. The micro-organisms thus have the carbon source restricted so that they preferentially metabolise fats or lipids other than arachidonic acid (ARA), so increasing the proportion of ARA in the cells. A microbial oil is then recovered from the micro-organism, using hexane as a solvent, that has at least 50% ARA and at least 90% triglycerides. | 01-16-2014 |

A target information flow rate for the route that is less than or equal to the bottleneck information flow rate for the route is determined. A Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) and, in some embodiments, a transmission mode is determined for each network node in the route other than the ending network node based on forward propagation of information indicative of the target information flow rate for the route. | 04-03-2014 |
