In each of its various embodiments, the present invention discloses microemulsions that carry antioxidants.

Microemulsions carrying antioxidants

A method for producing hydrogen from a plant source is disclosed. The method includes contacting a crude carbohydrate material obtained from the plant source with water and a catalyst at a temperature and pressure sufficient to decompose at least a portion of the crude carbohydrate material to form a vapor mixture of gases including hydrogen, and separating hydrogen from other gases present in the vapor mixture.

Process for hydrogen gas production from carbohydrate feedstocks

Provided are various embodiments of a fertilizer composition. The fertilizer compositions include one or more compounds having a high nitrogen content, which may be measured by a carbon to nitrogen atom ratio. Also provided are methods for increasing nitrogen content in soil, promoting crop production and fertilizing.

Fertilizer compositions and methods of using

A process for improving the solubility of hydrophobic amino acids in which hot saturated aqueous solutions of at least two different amino acids are first combined. A first step includes making a hot saturated aqueous solution of a first and hydrophobic amino acid having a low solubility in water. A second step includes making a hot saturated aqueous solution of a second and hydrophilic amino acid having a high solubility in water. Then the two hot saturated aqueous solutions are mixed to prepare a combined hot solution mixture, and dried. The resulting product is an amino acid food supplement which is blended into animal feed. The preferred amino acids are tryptophan and lysine, when the animal is a domestic farm animal. A preferred ratio is where the concentration of tryptophan is greater than 50 grams per liter and the concentration of lysine is greater than 300 grams per liter.

Process for drying hydrophobic amino acids with improved process for

A modified vegetable protein binder produced by and a method of producing a modified vegetable protein binder for paper coatings by bleaching a vegetable protein extract with an oxidizing agent and a magnesium compound to provide a bleached vegetable protein material and then modifying the bleached vegetable protein. The modification is generally hydrolyzing the bleached vegetable protein and when desired, also carboxylating the bleached vegetable protein.

Method of producing protein products for bright paper coating

A system monitors the stability of fats and oils especially having the capacity of simultaneous analysis of a multitude of samples making it convenient for use to monitor a production plant. A plurality of probes (made from a metal taken from a group consisting of nickel, chromium, rhodium, titanium and stainless steel) have spaced parallel electrodes immersed in a liquid carrier (deionized water) through which an effluent of heated fats or oils is bubbled. A common conductivity meter responds to signals from each of the probes, in turn, for measuring the induction time of the fats or oils samples. The instrument features a power failure recovery system that utilizes a battery-power clock, so that short duration power failures do not cause a loss of data. A long duration power failure does not cause loss of data to the point of failure, however incomplete analyses are stopped.

Sensor probe for measuring fat and oil stability

A method of producing a modified vegetable protein binder for paper coatings having improved whiteness, brightness and strength wherein a vegetable protein material is oxidized with an oxidizing agent and a low level of magnesium compound.
