With a total of six patents to his name, Yamamoto's work has advanced the understanding and application of these compounds in various industries.
Latest Patents
Yamamoto's latest patents include a method for producing crystalline tagatose. This innovative process involves creating tagatose crystals from an aqueous system without the use of organic solvents. The method requires the addition of seed crystals to a tagatose solution with a purity of at least 70% and a solid content concentration between 60 to 98 mass percent. The crystallization occurs through stirring and cooling while maintaining a degree of supersaturation of tagatose at 1.25 or lower. Additionally, he has developed a gene coding for cyclodextrin glucanotransferase, which primarily produces γ-cyclodextrin from starch and its decomposition products. This invention includes methods for manufacturing the enzyme and γ-cyclodextrin compositions with a desired balance of cyclodextrins.
