摘要:
The present invention relates to the modification of lipids in lipid-containing plant material, such as cereal bran for the generation of functional lipids. The present invention further relates to the preparation of compositions comprising such functional lipids as well as the use of these compositions comprising functional lipids and other functional compounds derived from the action of lipid modifying enzymes for the preparation of composition suitable for the preparation of bio-ethanol as well as food products, such as bread.

There is provided a process for the prevention and/or reduction of acrylamide formation and/or acrylamide precursor formation in a foodstuff containing (i) a protein, a peptide or an amino acid and (ii) a reducing sugar, the process comprising contacting the foodstuff with an enzyme capable of oxidising a reducing group of the sugar.
摘要:
A method of preparing a flour dough, said method comprising adding to the dough components an enzyme that under dough conditions is capable of hydrolysing a glycolipid and a phospholipid, wherein said enzyme is incapable, or substantially incapable, of hydrolysing a triglyceride and/or a 1-monoglyceride, or a composition comprising said enzyme, and mixing the dough components to obtain the dough.

The present invention relates to a method for reducing cholesterol absorption in an animal comprising administering to the animal a composition comprising an effective amount of at least one cholesterol ester.
摘要:
In one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for preparing a variant lipid acyltransferase enzyme comprising expressing in a host organism a nucleotide sequence which has at least 90% identity with a nucleotide sequence encoding a parent lipid acyltransferase and comprises at least one modification (suitably at least two modifications) at a position(s) which corresponds in the encoded amino acid sequence to an amino acid(s) located in a) the canyon region of the enzyme (i.e. preferably amino acid residues 31, 27, 85, 86, 119, and 120); and/or b) insertion site 1 (i.e. amino acid residues 22-36) and/or c) insertion site 2 (i.e. amino acid residues 74-88), wherein the canyon region, insertion site 1 and/or insertion site 2 are defined as that region which when aligned based on primary or tertiary structure corresponds to the canyon region, insertion site 1 or insertion site 2 (or the corresponding amino acid residues taught above) of the enzyme shown herein as SEQ ID No. 16 or 6. Preferable modifications are one or more of the following L3 IQ, H, N, T, F, Y or C (preferably L31 Q); M27R, G, H, K, Y, D, N, V, C, Q, L, E, S or F (preferably M27V); V85H, R5 D or E; I86R,Y, S, V, I, As T, M, F, C or L (preferably I86S or A); Al 19T or I; Y120K or E; W122S, L or A (preferably W122L); E201R; Q245S; F235A or V; W232G or S; and/or A236G or E.

摘要:
The present invention provides methods and uses for treating pyropheophytin-containing compositions, particularly in order to remove pyropheophytin therefrom. The compositions are typically plant, algal, or bacterial derived products such as vegetable oils. The method comprises a step of contacting the compositions with an enzyme having pyropheophytinase activity. Also provided are related apparatus and products for performing such methods and uses.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the isolation of and characterization of a novel lipase inhibitor and its effect on different lipases. The present invention also relates to the use of a lipase inhibitor as a screen for lipases. The present invention also relates to the use of the inhibitor and/or lipases identified by a lipase inhibitor in food and/or feed technologies.
