Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080199927Aspergillus Kawachi Acid-Stable Alpha Amylase and Applications in Granular Starch Hydrolysis - The present invention relates to a method for producing an end product and particularly an alcohol which comprises contacting a granular starch substrate with an acid-stable alpha amylase (asAA) having granular starch hydrolyzing (GSH) activity and a glucoamylase (GA) in a fermentation step which also comprises ethanologenic microorganisms at a temperature between about 25 to 65° C. and producing an end-product.08-21-2008
20090269817PRETREATMENT OF GRAIN SLURRY WITH ALPHA-AMYLASE AND A HEMICELLULASE BLEND PRIOR TO LIQUEFACTION - A method of preparing a low viscosity slurry that includes grinding a small grain to produce a flour. The flour is mixed with water to form a slurry. An alpha-amylase enzyme and a hemicellulase blend enzyme are mixed into the slurry and allowed to convert the slurry into a mash. A saccharifying enzyme is mixed into the mash. It is possible to use coarse grains such as grain sorghum and maize in conjunction with the small grains.10-29-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110223639Process for Conversion of Granular Starch to Ethanol - The present invention concerns a method of producing glucose from a granular starch substrate comprising, contacting a slurry comprising granular starch obtained from plant material with an alpha-amylase at a temperature below the starch gelatinization temperature of the granular starch to produce oligosaccharides and hydrolyzing the oligosaccharides to produce a mash comprising at least 20% glucose and further comprising fermenting the mash to obtain ethanol.09-15-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090203101ENZYME BLENDS FOR FERMENTATION - The present invention relates to an enzyme blend composition comprising a glucoamylase, an acid stable alpha amylase, and an acid fungal protease. The present invention is further directed to a method for producing end products such as alcohols from fermentable sugars, comprising the steps of: (a) contacting a slurry comprising a milled grain that contains starch with an alpha amylase to produce a liquefact; (b) contacting the liquefact with a glucoamylase, an acid stable alpha amylase, and an acid fungal protease, to produce fermentable sugars; and (c) fermenting the fermentable sugars in the presence of a fermenting organism to produce end products.08-13-2009
20090246845GLUCOAMYLASE AND BUTTIAUXIELLA PHYTASE DURING SACCHARIFICATION - Described are compositions and methods relating to the use of a glucoamylase in combination with a phytase in starch processing to reduce the levels of phytic acid in end-products.10-01-2009
