The invention further includes products containing the lipid compositions, such as dietary supplements, food ... 08/04/05 - 20050170478 - Process for preparing conjugated linoleic acid The present invention relates to the use of an enzyme mixture containing at least one enzyme with phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase activity for the production of plant storage lipids containing polyunsaturated fatty acids. ... 08/04/05 - 20050170477 - Process for preparing conjugated linoleic acid The invention relates to a process for preparing conjugated linoleic acid. In particular, the invention discloses a process for preparing conjugated linoleic acid, particularly the cis-9,trans-11 isomer thereof from grain by means of beneficial bacteria. The invention also relates to the products prepared by the process. ... 07/21/05 - 20050158835 - Preparation of highly polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid Preparation of highly polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid by phospholipase D-catalyzed transphosphatidylation of fish liver phosphatidylcholine is disclosed. ... 06/30/05 - 20050142647 - Method The present invention relates to a method of reducing and/or removing diglyceride from an edible oil, comprising a) admixing an edible oil with an acyl acceptor substrate and a diglyceride:glycerol acyltransferase, wherein the diglyceride:glycerol acyltransferase is characterized as an enzyme which in an edible oil is capable of transferring an ... 06/23/05 - 20050136519 - Production of polyunsaturated fatty acids in oleaginous yeasts The present invention relates to methods for the production of ω-3 and/or ω-6 fatty acids in oleaginous yeast. Thus, desaturases and elongases able to catalyze the conversion of linoleic acid (LA) to γ-linolenic acid (GLA); α-linoleic acid (ALA) to stearidonic acid (STA); GLA to dihomo-γ-linoleic acid (DGLA); STA to eicosatetraenoic ... 06/16/05 - 20050130281 - Processes for obtaining sterols and polar lipids from vegetable oil lecithin fractions Processes for the simultaneous production of sterols and polar lipids, in which preparations of vegetable oil lecithin fractions are subjected to ultrafiltration and, on the one hand, the sterols in the permeate and, on the other hand, the polar lipids in the retentate are enriched. The permeate and retentate can ... 06/16/05 - 20050130280 - Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase regulatory sequences for gene expression in oleaginous yeast The regulatory sequences (i.e., promoter regions, introns and enhancers) associated with the Yarrowia lipolytica gene encoding fructose bis-phospate aldolase (FBA1) have been found to be particularly effective for the expression of heterologus genes in oleaginous yeast. The promoter regions of the invention have been shown to drive high-level expression of ... 06/16/05 - 20050130279 - Transesterification reaction for production of dairy flavour enhancing esters The invention is a process for producing flavour enhancing esters from dairy sourced mono-, di-, or triglycerides. The process is a transesterification reaction between the mono-, di- or triglyceride and an alcohol in an aqueous medium in the presence of an esterase selected for its high transesterification activity. The esters ... ### FreshPatents.com Support |
