Title: Methods and compositions for treatment of central nervous system disorders
Inventor: BENCHERIF MEROUANE
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: Disclosed are methods of screening for substances having an effect on a nicotine receptor by contacting a cell having a nicotine receptor with a test substance and determining any increase or decrease in phosphorylation of Janus-Activated Kinase 2 JAK2. An increase in phosphorylation of JAK2 indicates that the test substance stimulates the nicotine receptor, and wherein a decrease in phosphorylation of JAK2 indicates that the test substance inhibits the nicotine receptor. The invention also provides screening methods for identification of substances that affect nicotine receptor activity through activity mediated by the AT2 receptor. Related pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment are also provided.
Patent NZ-535612-A (NZ)
Title: Reduced fat chip and manufacturing process
Inventor: WILMOT KENNETH
IPC: A23L19/18
Filed: 2003-02-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a frozen potato chip comprising the steps of peeling a potato, cutting the potato into strips, blanching the strips for a time equal to 60-95 % of the time to disintegration, dipping the strips in a solution of 1.5-2% dextrose and 1% sodium acid pyrophosphate, drying the strips by 10-20 % by weight reduction in moisture content, frying the strips at 130-160 °C for 20-30 seconds, and freezing the strips. The method has the combined effect of shrinking the surface layer of potato cells, so that a somewhat leathery 'skin' is developed. As a consequence the surface layer is less likely to absorb fat during the frying stage. Furthermore, because blanching is carried out to the optimum, the frying stage can be substantially shortened, and thus the opportunity for fat absorption is also reduced whilst allowing a caterer to better satisfy demand for freshly fried chips rather than frying in advance in anticipation of demand.
