摘要:
A potato cultivar designated E12 is disclosed. The invention relates to the tubers of potato cultivar E12, to the seeds of potato cultivar E12, to the plants of potato E12, to the plant parts of potato cultivar E12, to food products produced from potato cultivar E12, and to methods for producing a potato plant produced by crossing potato cultivar E12 with itself or with another potato variety. The invention also relates to methods for producing a potato plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic potato plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to potato cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from potato variety E12, to methods for producing other potato cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from potato cultivar E12 and to the potato plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid potato tubers, seeds, plants and plant parts produced by crossing potato cultivar E12 with another potato cultivar.

A rotary knife fixture (10) for cutting products propelled into cutting engagement therewith, comprising: a blade holder (22); and at least one cutting blade (16 or 16") carried by the blade holder (22), the at least one cutting blade (16 or 16") having a sharpened cutting edge (16' or 16"') at one side thereof and being twisted radially along a longitudinal axis of the cutting blade (16 or 16") between a first portion and a second portion of the cutting blade (16 or 16"), the cutting edge (16' or 16"') at the first portion of the cutting blade (16 or 16") having a first angle with respect to the longitudinal axis and the cutting edge (16' or 16"') at the second portion of the cutting blade (16 or 16") having a second angle with respect to the longitudinal axis, the first angle being different from the second angle.
摘要:
A low acrylamide French fry potato strip and related preparation process, wherein relatively low sugar-containing potatoes are cut into pieces such as elongated French fry strips, blanched in hot water or steam, and then dipped into an aqueous solution having at least one selected food grade color agent such as annatto. The thus-dipped potato pieces are then parfried in hot oil, following by freezing for storage and/or shipment. The parfried and frozen potato pieces are adapted for finish preparation by frying in hot oil to produce French fry potato pieces such as French fry strips having a set of desirable taste, texture and appearance characteristics, in combination with a relatively low acrylamide level.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a new plant breeding process. The process improves the agronomic performance of crop plants by using genetic material that is also used in classical breeding. Instead of sexually recombining entire genomes at random, as is done in classical breeding, specific genetic elements are rearranged in vitro and inserted back into individual plant cells. Plants obtained through this new plant breeding process do not contain foreign nucleic acid but only contain nucleic acid from the plant species selected for transformation or plants that are sexually compatible with the selected plant species. Plants developed through this new plant breeding process are provided. In particular, potato plants displaying improved tuber storage and health characteristics are provided.

摘要:
A machine and process are provided for forming small, random sized potato pieces suitable for use in preparing potato hash browns and potato patties and the like. Blanched potatoes are chilled and then swept against a blunt edge resulting in shattering of each potato into relatively small, random-sized pieces. If desired, each blunt shatter-edge can be provided in a knife unit including one or more cross-cut knives to subdivide larger shattered pieces into a smaller size. The produced potato pieces are chilled as by freezing or by chilling to a refrigerated temperature for shipment and/or storage pending finish preparation.
摘要:
An improved production process for preparing parfried and frozen French fry potato products with reduced crumb generation particularly upon finish preparation as by finish frying. Potato products such as French fry strips are cut, blanched and parfried, followed by a water treatment step as by applying a light spray or mist of water at ambient temperature and preferably at a rate selected to avoid any substantial overspray. The potato products are frozen for shipment and/or storage awaiting finish preparation. Upon finish preparation as by finish frying in hot oil, the potato products exhibit substantially reduced crumb generation. The improved process is particularly useful when parfrying and/or finish frying the potato products in a liquid or substantially non-hydrogenated oil, such as a zero grams Trans Fat (ZGTF) oil, with dramatically reduced crumb generation upon finish fry preparation while retaining a substantially optimized balance of sensory characteristics.

The present invention relates to unique strategies and constructs for altering expression of a desired gene by designing a construct designed to specifically target the non-transcribed 5 '-regulatory sequences of that gene.
摘要:
The present invention provides a convenient method for producing a transformed plant by expressing a hormone gene positioned within a plasmid backbone that also carries a P-DNA or T-DNA to obtain backbone-free transformed plants.
