Abstract:
A process of enzymatic degumming edible oils, comprising treating edible oil with a lipid acyltransferase so as to transfer an acyl group from a major part of the phospholipid to one or more acyl acceptors, wherein the acyl acceptor may be any compound comprising a hydroxyl group. In one embodiment preferably the acyl acceptor is water and in another embodiment preferably the acyl acceptor is one or more sterols and/or stanols. When the acyl acceptor is a stanol and/or sterol, one or more sterol esters and/or stanol esters are produced. The lipid acyltransferase for use in the process of the present invention may comprise one or more of the following amino acid sequences: SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO: 11, SEQ ID NO: 12, SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 14, or SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 16, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO: 18, SEQ ID NO: 36, SEQ ID NO: 38, SEQ ID NO: 40, SEQ ID NO: 41, SEQ ID NO: 45, SEQ ID NO: 47, SEQ ID NO: 50 or an amino acid sequence which has 75% or more identity thereto. A novel lipid acyltransferase comprising the amino acid sequence shown as SEQ ID NO: 16 is also taught.

Abstract:
A method for the in situ production of an emulsifier in a foodstuff, wherein a lipid acyltransferase is added to the foodstuff. Preferably the emulsifier is produced without an increase or without a substantial increase in the free fatty acid content of the foodstuff. Preferably, the lipid acyltransferase is one which is capable of transferring an acyl group from a lipid to one or more of the following acyl acceptors: a sterol, a stanol, a carbohydrate, a protein or a sub-unit thereof, glycerol. Preferably, in addition to an emulsifier one or more of a stanol ester or a stanol ester or a protein ester or a carbohydrate ester or a diglyceride or a monoglyceride may be produced. One or more of these may function as an additional emulsifier.

The paint roller sleeve removal tool includes a primary tubular member having a first primary panel hingedly affixed to a second primary panel. The secondary tubular member is affixed to the primary tubular member, the secondary tubular member having a first secondary panel is affixed to a distal end of the first primary panel and a second secondary panel is affixed to a distal end of the second primary panel. The paint roller sleeve removal tool includes a plurality of protrusions that are affixed to an interior surface of each of the first primary panel, the second primary panel, the first secondary panel, and the second secondary panel.
Abstract:
A hole saw includes a base member configured to secure the hole saw to a drive device and a plurality of blade members where each blade member is connected to and disposed orthogonally to the base member via a respective extender. Each blade member has cutting teeth extending in a respective cutting direction and distances between the cutting teeth and the base member vary along the respective cutting direction of the respective blade members. Each respective extender is configured cantilever support opposite, freestanding distal ends of the respective blade member where each distal end of each respective blade member is disconnected from the distal end of an adjacent blade member.

Abstract:
Systems and methods according to the present invention address these needs and others by providing a handheld device, e.g., a 3D pointing device, which uses at least one sensor to detect motion of the handheld device. The detected motion can then be mapped into a desired output, e.g., cursor movement.
