Product Formulation and Process Design for Commercial Production of Soluable Phytosterols
SBC: AKTIV-DRY Topic: N/ACommercially available products rich in phytosterol may now be used to cut serum low-density lipoprotein by as much as 14 percent. Unfortunately, phytosterols are poorly soluble and therefore present unique problems concerning their ability to suppress cholesterol absorption in the gut. This impediment often leads to sub-optimal dosing and poor performance of phytosterol compounds and restricts th ...

Prototyping NUGGET: A Nutrient and Greenhouse Gas Evaluation Tool
SBC: APPLIED GEOSOLUTIONS LLC Topic: N/AFarmers, crop consultants, and regulators are constantly faced with management/policy decisions that require the integration of current crop and soil conditions, and current and future weather conditions. Farmers and crop consultants must make these management decisions within a regulatory environment that is becoming more restrictive and complex. Regulators are forced to make policy recommendatio ...

Enhanced Control of Fruit Ripening
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N/AEthylene is a growth hormone for fruits and vegetables that is generated by the plants themselves; that is, it acts as a self-ripening agent. Hence, the removal of ethylene gas can play a central role in maintaining the freshness of these products. Whereas the temperature and the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases are also important system variables that demand a significant economic invest ...

Enhanced Performance of Agriculture Based Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N/AA. Water must be removed from biodegradable hydraulic fluids as they react with water and degrade insitu. B. Biodegradable hydraulic fluids for farm equipment provide a significant improvement over traditional petroleum based fluids due to decreased pollution. Increase the use and value of biodegradable hydraulic fluids by development of a membrane-based dewatering system.

Agricultural Emissions Reduction Using Bio-Fuels with Membrane Supplied Nitrogen
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N/AThe use of biodiesel offers significant advantages with regards to the reduction of total harmful engine emissions with the exception of NOx. Biodiesel is a renewable resource and soybean oil is known to be economically viable as a biodiesel fuel. Recent studies from the Environmental Protection Agency have shown that soybean oil alone or blended with #2 diesel fuel results in a significant decrea ...

Creating an Internet-Based Service for Merchandising Identity-Preserved Grains
SBC: DefineX, LLC Topic: N/AAs agricultural acreage and production in South America and other low cost production areas continue to expand, U.S. producers must adopt new technology, streamline their already highly efficient production systems, and look for value-adding opportunities to diversify from the highly competitive commodity markets. Indeed, value-added agriculture promises to become increasingly important as new spe ...

A Safer Class of Agricultural Nematicides Based on Natural Fatty Acid Products
SBC: Divergence, Inc. Topic: N/APlant parasitic nematodes are among the most important crop pathogens in the United States, causing an estimated $7-9 billion in lost yield annually. Traditional nematicides, including organophosphates, are under severe regulatory pressure because of toxological and environmental concerns. The purpose of this project is to develop a new, safer nematode control agent for U.S. growers.

Use of a Plant Universal Molecular Recognition Library for Root Knot Nematode Resistance
SBC: Divergence, Inc. Topic: N/APlant parasitic nematodes annually cause damage in excess of $8 billion in the U.S. and $78 billion worldwide. The goal of this research is to generate crops, such as cotton and tomato, with broad-spectrum, season-long resistance to root knot nematode.

Soil Inhibition Resistant Mutants of Taq DNA Polymerase
SBC: DNA POLYMERASE TECHNOLOGY, INC. Topic: N/AGene detection in soil using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is nearly impossible due to the inhibitory affects of the components of soil, including humic acid. Currently, the DNA must be extracted from the soil in order to perform PCR. The DNA extraction/purification step is expensive and time consuming. We intend to develop commercially available PCR enzymes that will enable PCR to detect pa ...

Ammonia Point Sensor for Intensive Livestock Operations
SBC: ELTRON RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT, INCORPORATED Topic: N/AEfficient, cost-effective systems are not currently available for the continuous sensing of dangerous, noxious gases, such as ammonia, in the intensive livestock operation (ILO) environment. Development of these sensors will provide information for the regulation of ventilation and protection of animal and worker health. The purpose of this project is to develop a sensor that will result in increa ...
