US Patent No. 8,871,698 B2; Advanced Biocatalytics Corporation, Irvine, CA, has patented a method of reducing the formation of carbonization and caramelization of organic food or oil residues on a surface. Prior to cooking over the surface, applying to that surface a composition comprising: at least one surfactant; an anti-deposition agent selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, citric acid, acetic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and a combination thereof; and a protein component comprising yeast proteins and polypeptides selected from the group consisting of heat shock proteins and polypeptides; and stress proteins and polypeptides; wherein the yeast proteins and polypeptides are obtained from fermenting yeast cells and subjecting a mixture obtained from the yeast fermentation to stress. After cooking over the surface, cleaning the surface with the composition and repeating the application, the formation of carbonization and caramelization of organic food or oil residue on the surface is reduced.
