Patent Enhancements: Optimization of EFAs; Known as "Ingraining" or "Nutri-Priming"

Job ID: 33000059

Budget: $25 – $50 USD

We are seeking an agricultural scientist to assist with formulating enhancements to an existing patent (US patent No: 7,416,752 B2).

The domain of expertise sought is in advanced study in agriculture particularly for Omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids (FA) that play an essential role in human physiology and health. As a result, a variety of n-3 FA-fortified functional foods have become commercially available for human consumption. These fortified functional foods are created through various processes; one covered by this patent is nutri-priming, a promising biofortification approach, that has been utilized to develop plant-based n-3 fortified foods.

We are seeking a post-doctoral candidate, agricultural scientist or other qualified person to help author enhancements to the current patent whereby they would gain proportionate patent credit as an inventor.
