Wheat grain (Triticum aestivum) comprising an embryo and starch, wherein the embryo comprises two identical alleles of an SBEIIa-A gene, two identical alleles of an SBEIIa-B gene and two identical alleles of an SBEIIa-D gene, wherein each of the SBEIIa genes gives rise to an amount of protein (w/w) or a protein having SBEIIa activity which is lower than the corresponding wild-type gene, and at least one of said genes comprises a point mutation, wherein the starch comprises amylose such that the grain has an amylose content of at least 50% (w/w) as a proportion of the extractable starch of the grain.

The present application relates generally to emulsifiers and methods of production thereof, and specifically to emulsifiers prepared using renewable and/or agricultural products through a physical process. Flour of cereal grains, legumes, or other plant materials contains both protein and carbohydrate, in particular starch. The preparation procedure of flour emulsifier contains physical processing, including but not limited to specifically designed heating, milling, or the combinations of both. Emulsions of lipophilic materials are prepared using flour emulsifiers. The emulsions formed can be further dehydrated using spray drying, drum drying, freeze drying, vacuum drying, or other drying methods. The emulsions prepared using flour emulsifiers as well as their dehydrated products show enhanced stability against physical and chemical deteriorations as compared with those prepared using conventional emulsifiers, such as octenylsuccinate starch and gum arabic.

Automated grinder systems include several different automatic functions including liquid and substrate soaking, mixing, grinding, fermenting, and cleaning. Example grinders include storages for soaking and draining a substrate for grinding, a water or other fluid reservoir connected to provide soaking material, and a grinder connected to the storage to receive and grind the substrate. A resting unit may receive the ground batter and potentially ferment the same by controlling its temperature, humidity, pH, etc. Jets may be connected to a water reservoir and direct liquid water into the grinder, potentially with soap, to cleanse the same.

Techniques described herein provide a method and a device for breaking down legumes. The method includes mixing legumes with an aqueous extraction agent to form a legume mixture and pre-comminuting the legume mixture by means of a conical pocket tool and/or a chamber tool that acts as a first rotor-stator homogenizer by adding an aqueous extraction agent through stator openings directly into a shearing and mixing zone of the conical pocket tool and/or the chamber tool. The method also includes incubating the pre-comminuted legume mixture by further adding the aqueous extraction agent, and fine grinding the incubated legume mixture by means of another chamber tool and/or a nozzle tool that acts as a second rotor-stator homogenizer.

Processes for grinding corn, ground corn products, and processes for making ethanol from the ground corn products. In some examples, a process for making ethanol can include introducing a plurality of corn pieces into a mill. The process can also include milling the corn pieces in the mill to produce a ground corn product. Greater than 25 wt % of the ground corn product can have a particle size of greater than 105 m, as measured according to AOAC 965.22-1966. Greater than 80 wt % of the ground corn product can have a particle size of 425 m or less, as measured according to AOAC 965.22-1966. The process can also include processing the ground corn product to produce a fermentation mash that can include ethanol and separating at least a portion of the ethanol from the fermentation mash to produce a stillage.

The present disclosure provides antibody cytokine engrafted proteins that bind to and stimulate intracellular signaling through a high affinity interleukin receptor. The antibody cytokine engrafted proteins find use in enhancing anti-inflammatory cell responses, and reducing pro-inflammatory effects in the treatment, amelioration and prevention of immune related disorders such as Type 1 Diabetes.
