Phillip Duggan is an inventor associated with Cellucomp Limited in Fife, Great Britain. His patent work addresses ways to replace eggs and certain ingredients in food compositions using cellulose-containing particles derived from herbaceous plants.

Latest Patents

The supplied information lists one patent for Duggan: “Method for replacing eggs in compositions.” It describes a method for replacing eggs or egg materials, particularly egg yolks, and potentially replacing a significant proportion of a food composition’s fat or sugar content. The method uses cellulose-containing particles with less than 30 wt% extractable glucose and a specified minimum amount of extractable xylose relative to the source plant.

The patent describes producing these particles by comminuting herbaceous plant material, treating the resulting particles with peroxide and water, heating them, and isolating the cellulose-containing material. The particles may then be incorporated into a food product as an ingredient replacement.
