Introduction

Jarred Lawson is an inventor associated with Hoffman Estates, Illinois, and Tate & Lyle Solutions USA LLC. His patent work concerns modified starch materials designed to provide useful performance at lower mass loadings.

Latest Patents

Lawson is associated with 1 patent, titled “Inhibited Porous Granular Starches and Methods of Making and Using Them.” The disclosure describes inhibited porous granular starches with high porosity and methods for producing them by enzymatically hydrolyzing granular starch. It identifies glucoamylase and alpha-amylase as possible enzymes and describes a degree of hydrolysis of 20% to 75%.

The patent describes products with porosity of 10% to 50%, measured by changes in water uptake relative to the starting starch, and a specified sedimentation-volume range. It also describes products with water uptake of at least 1.0 gram of water per gram of starch and sedimentation volumes of 20 to 80 milliliters per gram. The disclosure notes that these starches may provide increased viscosity at lower mass loadings than conventional starches.
