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.

A tempering composition for tempering grain in a tempering step and controlling pathogens susceptible to be present in and/or on said grain during the tempering step of the grain, said tempering step being eventually carried out before subjecting the tempered grain to a milling step; wherein said tempering composition comprises tempering-water and an oxidizing composition comprising at least one oxidizing agent and/or a precursor thereof, and eventually at least one an agriculturally acceptable excipient and/or at least one additive; and wherein the at least one oxidizing agent represents from 0.01 to 50% by weight of the oxidizing composition. A use and a method for tempering grain and controlling pathogens susceptible to be present on grain. An oxidizing composition for preparing the tempering composition. A use of the tempering composition for sanitizing mill systems. A method for sanitizing mill systems.

This disclosure provides methods for producing nixtamal, in particular from corn and other grains, with an increased level of selenium, and food products produced therefrom.

The present invention “Production process of nixtamalized maize flour, nixtamalizing the maize fractions separately without producing nejayote”, considers the integration of the processes: Semi-humid milling of the maize (fractionated degerm), extruding of the maize fractions and milling-instant dehydration of the different nixtamalized and extruded maize fractions, has as novelty the way in which the nixtamalization process is carried out and the objective is to provide a nixtamalized maize flour production system that reduces the residues from the maize grain and completely eliminating nejayote production.

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.
