The product is green, biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making it a product manufacturers can stick with for a long time to come. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Novel Method for the Production of Cotton Hybrid Seed LSU AgCenter scientists have developed a new method to produce effectively hybrid cotton seeds. This approach will enhance cross-pollination and isolate only the desired hybrid seed. It also ensures the most efficient use of labor and chemicals, allowing farmers to save money on both and ensuring quality seed to satisfy customer needs. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Purple Bran Rice LSU AgCenter scientists have created a new rice line with a brilliant purple color. This variety has an increased level of antioxidants. It also has a much higher quality than rice of similar types and possesses many long-grain characteristics, such as very tall stalks and fewer days to maturity. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Reactor for Liquefying Biomass This invention is a new type of reactor that combines the processes of biomass washing and hydrolysis into one easy step. This is a continuous process that saves on energy and machinery by replacing several mixing processes. In this device, the biomass is progressively liquefied and treated with enzymes to ensure that materials are efficiently converted into potential fuel. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Natural Blood Vessel Growth Inhibiting Compound This invention is a novel combination of natural extracts that has the ability to strongly inhibit the development of blood vessels that feed cancer and other diseases related to blood vessel growth, such as psoriasis. The synergistic interaction of these materials increases efficacy, and the body can readily absorb the extracts through the skin. This material also has shown promise in vitro to overcome cells’ natural drug resistance and defenses. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Chinese Tallow Tree Seed Harvester This invention is a method of identifying Chinese tallow tree seeds at various stages of maturity. It can be incorporated into a harvester to provide quick and accurate harvesting of the seeds. This ensures minimal damage to other nearby crops and increases the amount of seeds gathered. Due to the rapid growth and invasive nature of the Chinese tallow tree, this will be useful whether you wish to use the seeds as a resource or eliminate them as a pest. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Unique Termite Deterrent A new substance has been discovered that more effectively deters termites from feeding on wood or cellulose and kills most of their colony. Termites that feed on the substance will die; termites given a choice of feed materials will not eat the treated material. This substance is nontoxic to mammals and is effective in very small amounts. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Improved Fenugreek Addition Method AgCenter scientists have invented a new method to add fenugreek to a wide variety of foods and drinks. Meats, breads, eggs, muscadine juice and tea can all contain a high-enough level of fenugreek to help prevent glucose absorption and lower the glycemic index of the food or drink. This is important for both weight maintenance and managing diabetes as high glycemic index and high-sugar foods contribute to obesity and diabetes. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]New Glycemic Index Estimation Method This is a new method to approximate and analyze the Glycemic Index (GI) for foods that contain carbohydrates and sugars by using a unique mixture of enzymes. No test subjects or blood samples are needed; only a small sample of the food you wish to analyze. This fast, accurate and cost-effective method can help companies measure and lower GI in their products. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Measurement System for Profiling Continuous-Flow Microwave Cavities This invention is a new type of device that can measure any parameter of liquid or gas moving through a continuously flowing electromagnetic system. This device measures parameters of materials at multiple points inside the electromagnetic field to get a more accurate and detailed reading of potential hot and cold spots. This helps ensure a consistent end product, reduces wasted materials during testing and can eliminate potential hazards from improper processing. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Novel Process to Create Glycomacropeptide and Curd This invention is new way to extract glycomacropeptide (GMP) from dairy products. One can obtain very high GMP yields with astounding purity using this method. Expensive machinery, like a chromatographer, is not required for this process, leading to substantial savings. GMP extracted by this method can be further modified and used for many food applications and treatments for phenylketonuria (PKU). |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Non-Chemically Modified Starch AgCenter scientists have developed a new process to modify the properties of starch without chemicals. Normally, such changes would require that the ingredient be labeled “modified starch”; however, this process allows the ingredient to be labeled simply as “starch.” The unique process can also increase the natural benefits of the starch, such as satiety, making it more appealing to consumers. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Oxygenation System for Aquaculture This invention is a new method and device to oxygenate water for use in ponds and waste treatment plants. A very simple and energy-efficient device is inserted into water. It distributes oxygen evenly and creates ammonia-destroying films. It does not requires commercial pressure systems to operate, thus leading to energy and equipment savings. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Sugar-Based Treatment for Fungal Disease This invention is a new type of treatment for Aspergillosis, a type of fungal infection. This infection is particularly deadly, causing blood clots and impairment of the lungs. Usually infecting those with suppressed immune systems, Aspergillus is present in the general environment and can be inhaled from anywhere. This new treatment can overcome the organism’s normal drug resistance and offers new hope to those suffer from infection. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Tongue Burn Cooler This invention is a new product that completely eliminates the burning sensation from consuming spicy foods and hot sauces. It can be produced in either tablet or liquid form and should be taken right after consuming a spicy dish. With this technology, you can take the bite out of your next bite to eat and enjoy a wider range of hot foods and flavors. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Non-Fermented Hot Sauce AgCenter scientists have created a new type of spicy and delicious hot sauce that does not require fermentation before using. This reduces storage time and cost and gets the product to the customer faster. |
| [Image: Image of Flyer]Natural Bread Mold-reducing Agent AgCenter scientists have discovered a new natural extract that prevents bread from molding. Bread treated with this substance is stable for eight days at room temperate without any mold growth. This allows customers to enjoy their bread over a longer period and reduces the risk of eating bread with fungus on it. |
