摘要:
A process for recovering and isolating a KTI product having a total KTI protein concentration of at least 95 wt. % from a processing stream is disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for resolving an enantiomeric mixture of a-hydroxy acids or derivatives thereof through esterification and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of the α-hydroxy acids or derivatives. The present invention also relates to purified α-hydroxy acids or derivatives and methods of use thereof.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for reducing blood homocysteine levels in mammals, and treating or preventing diseases associated with elevated blood homocysteine levels, such as cardiovascular diseases and cognitive disorders. The invention also provides nutritional and pharmaceutical compositions comprising 2-hydroxy-4-(thiomethyl)-butanoic acid, including esters, analogs, derivatives or complex thereof.
摘要:
Simple, cost-effective and convenient compositions comprising basic amino acids and 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutanoic acid (HMBA) are disclosed. The compositions have many uses, including as food supplements for animal and human food.
摘要:
An enzymatic synthesis and composition of oligomers and co-oligomers comprised of α-hydroxy carboxylic acids and α-amino acids or peptides is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, a α-hydroxy carboxylic acid with a specific chiral configuration is linked by an amide linkage to a α-amino acid specific with a specific chiral configuration or linked by an amide linkage to a peptide made up of α-amino acid monomers having identical chiral configurations. Proteolytic enzymes catalyze oligomerization of the α-hydroxy carboxylic acid and α-amino acid. The degree and distribution of oligomerization varies upon the type and concentrations of different reaction mixtures utilized and upon the length of allowed reaction time. The resultant oligomers may be provided to animals such as ruminants as bioavailable amino acid supplements that are resistant to degradation in the rumen and other animals such as swine, poultry and aquatic animals.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are processes for purifying a complex of 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid and a cation. The complex purified using the disclosed methods are substantially free of discoloration and can be suitable, for example, as a source of methionine and minerals for animals, including humans, companion animals and agricultural animals.
