20120034659 | NEUTRAL pH SACCHARIFICATION AND FERMENTATION - Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a process for producing downstream products, such as fermentable sugars and end products, from a starch substrate by saccharification and/or fermentation. The saccharification is effectively catalyzed by a glucoamylase at a pH in the range of 5.0 to 8.0. At a pH of 6.0 or above, the glucoamylase possesses at least 50% activity relative to its maximum activity. The saccharification and fermentation may be performed as a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process. | 02-09-2012 |
20120135465 | Endoglucanase For Reducing The Viscosity Of A Plant Materials Slurry - The present disclosure relates to composition comprising EG cellulase and methods of use, thereof. The compositions are useful, e.g., for reducing the viscosity of plant material slurry. | 05-31-2012 |
20130203140 | PRODUCTION OF ISOPRENOIDS UNDER NEUTRAL pH CONDITIONS - Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a process for producing isoprenoid precursor molecules and/or isoprenoids from a starch substrate by saccharification and/or fermentation. The saccharification is effectively catalyzed by a glucoamylase at a pH in the range of 5.0 to 8.0. At a pH of 6.0 or above, the glucoamylase possesses at least 50% activity relative to its maximum activity. The saccharification and fermentation may be performed as a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process. | 08-08-2013 |
20130280774 | DIRECT STARCH TO FERMENTABLE SUGAR AS FEEDSTOCK FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ISOPRENE, ISOPRENOID PRECURSOR MOLECULES, AND/OR ISOPRENOIDS - Provided herein are compositions and methods related to the direct conversion of the starch in a ground or fractionated grain into a fermentable sugar feedstock capable of serving as a carbon source for the industrial production of one or more products by a fermenting organism, such as isoprene, isoprenoid precursor molecules, and/or isoprenoids. Such conversions may be performed at temperatures at or below the initial gelatinization temperature of the starch present in the grain and may utilize one or more isolatable endogenous enzymes present in certain unrefined grains. | 10-24-2013 |

20140273145 | PRODUCTION OF ISOPRENE UNDER NEUTRAL pH CONDITIONS - Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a process for producing isoprene from a starch substrate by saccharification and/or fermentation. The saccharification is effectively catalyzed by a glucoamylase at a pH in the range of 5.0 to 8.0. At a pH of 6.0 or above, the glucoamylase possesses at least 50% activity relative to its maximum activity. The saccharification and fermentation may be performed as a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process. | 09-18-2014 |
20150147786 | HIGH FORCE AND HIGH STRESS DESTRUCTURING FOR STARCH BIOMASS PROCESSING - A process for mechanical destructuring of starch-based biomass was developed that makes use of a short application of high compression, impact, and shearing forces. The biomass may be destructured using a specific energy input that is less than 40% of the total combustible energy of the biomass. The destructured starch-based biomass, with or without saccharification and/or in-feed glycosyl hydrolase enzymes, may be used in feed applications. The destructured starch-based may saccharified to produce syrups and fermentable sugars, and for production of products including ethanol using a biocatalyst. | 05-28-2015 |
