20090092551Increasing lifespan by modulation of pha-4 - The roles of the pha-4 and daf-16 genes in diet-restricted induced longevity are described and characterized. Pha-4 acts, e.g., in the absence of daf-16, to increase lifespan, e.g., in nematodes. Given the role that pha-4 and daf-16 play in the mediation of longevity, they represent targets for modulation of life span. Methods of increasing life span and delaying age onset diseases by modulation of pha-4 activity are disclosed, as are screening methods for identifying compounds that modulate pha-4 and/or daf-16 activity. In addition, recombinant animals expressing the pha-4 gene and not the daf-16 gene, and methods of using the pha-4 and/or daf-16 genes to modulate longevity and age-onset diseases are described.04-09-2009

20110091599METHOD FOR PREPARING NOODLES DOUGH WITH OXIDASE - The present invention relates to a method for preparing dough. Particularly the invention relates to a method for producing dough that can be processed via sheeting (i.e. a sheetable dough). Even more particular, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing sheetable dough with a water addition level which level would normally result in a dough which can not be processed because it is too sticky. The present invention provides a method for preparing sheetable dough comprising adding an amount of water and an effective amount of oxidase to flour and wherein said amount of water in the absence of said oxidase results in a dough that can not be processed due to its stickiness.04-21-2011
20110129569METHOD TO PRODUCE FRIED VEGETABLE PRODUCTS - The invention relates to a method for the preparation of fried vegetable products. 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.06-02-2011
20110236534NOVEL FOOD PRODUCTION PROCESS - Process for the production of a food or feed product, comprising adding an enzyme to the surface of an intermediate form of the food or feed product, and subsequently applying at least one heating step, whereby the enzyme is capable of modifying amino acids present in the intermediate form of the food or feed product. The invention also relates to food or feed products obtained by the process of the invention.09-29-2011
