10800994 · 2020-10-13 · ·

The present invention relates generally to corn dry-milling, and more specifically, to methods for producing a high protein corn meal from a whole stillage byproduct produced in a corn dry-milling process for making ethanol and a system therefore. In one embodiment, a method for producing a high protein corn meal from a whole stillage byproduct includes, in a corn dry-milling process for making ethanol, separating the whole stillage byproduct into an insoluble solids portion and a thin stillage portion. The thin stillage portion is separated into a protein portion and a water soluble solids portion. Next, the protein portion is dewatered then dried to define a high protein corn meal that includes at least 40 wt % protein on a dry basis.

ANIMAL FEED COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING MURAMIDASE AND USES THEREOF

The present invention relates to animal feed compositions comprising polypeptides having muramidase activity and uses thereof. Feeding broilers with feed comprising muramidase resulted in a dose-dependent increase of blood carotenoids. Administration of the supplemented feed could likewise increase blood levels of zeaxanthin, lutein, vitamin A, vitamin E and sialic acid.

METHOD FOR ENRICHING PROTISTS WITH LIPIDS RICH IN POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS, MORE PARTICULARLY OF THE OMEGA 3 CLASS, AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SAME FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SAID LIPIDS
20200263124 · 2020-08-20 ·

The invention relates to a method for enriching protists with lipids rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in particular of the omega 3 (3) class, said method comprising the culture of protists in a culture medium comprising a selenium-containing compound as well as the protists enriched with lipids rich in PUFA obtained by this method.

The invention also relates to a method for producing lipids rich in PUFA, comprising, after the enrichment method according to the invention, a method for treating the protists by extraction from the biomass of selenium-containing lipids rich in PUFA.

The invention finally relates to any food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical product comprising either selenium-containing lipids thus extracted, or selenium-containing biomass originating from the enrichment method.
