A method for obtaining γ-oryzanol comprises: (a) extracting an extract from a raw material containing γ-oryzanol by supercritical fluid extraction; (b) separating a pellet from the extract through solid-liquid separation; and (c) obtaining purified γ-oryzanol from the pellet.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids in an organism by introducing, into the organism, nucleic acids which encode polypeptides with Δ5-elongase activity. Advantageously, these nucleic acids can be expressed in the organism together with further nucleic acids which encode polypeptides of the biosynthesis of the fatty acid or lipid metabolism. Especially advantageous are nucleic acids which encode Δ6-desaturases, Δ5-desaturases, Δ4-desaturases and/or Δ6-elongases. These desaturases and elongases are advantageously derived from Thalassiosira, Euglena or Ostreococcus. The invention furthermore relates to a process for the production of oils and/or triacylglycerides with an elevated content of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, and oils and/or triacylglycerides thus obtained. The invention also relates to the nucleic acids, and constructs, vectors and transgenic organisms comprising the same, as well as oils, lipids and/or fatty acids produced by the process according to the invention and to their use.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for enhancing oil recovery and protein recovery from a product from a corn fermentation process stream, such as corn syrup. Compositions generally include a product from a corn fermentation stream and an additive including at least one alkylphenol ethoxylate formaldehyde resin, at least one sodium alkyl sulfate, or a blend of at least one anionic surfactant with at least one non-ionic surfactant in a weight ratio of the at least one nonionic surfactant to the at least one anionic surfactant in a range from about 1:20 to about 20:1. Methods combine such an additive with the product from a corn fermentation stream to produce a mixture which is preferably heated and centrifuged to separate oil and protein from the product.

The invention relates to a granular de-dusting material comprising 30-60 wt. % cold-swelling potato starch, 5-40 wt. % vegetable oil, 5-35 wt. % flour, all weight percentages based on dry weight of the granular de-dusting material. The invention further relates to a method for preparing a de-dusted enzyme product, comprising contacting a granular enzyme preparation, containing dust particles, with a granular dedusting material according to the invention, whereby the dust particles adhere to the granular de-dusting material, whereby the de-dusted enzyme product is obtained. The invention further relates to a de-dusted enzyme product.

The invention relates to a fat composition and a nutritional composition comprising such fat composition. The nutritional composition is particularly suitable for therapeutic applications in treating gut discomfort and/or constipation as well as in non-therapeutic applications for reducing the intestinal formation of calcium and magnesium fatty acid soaps. The fat composition comprises a mixture of triacylglycerols (TAG) originating from a bovine milk fat source and a vegetable lipid source, said mixture being characterized by: (a) a content of butanoate groups (C4:0) of 0.5-2.8% by weight based on total weight of fatty acid acyl groups in TAG; (b) a wLCSFA(sn-1,3) of 18.0-35.0% by weight; (c) a mLCFA (sn-1,3) of 48.0-61.0 mol %; and (d) a ratio mLCFA (sn-1,3)/SFA of 0.70-1.25, wherein: —LCFA(sn-1,3) are the long chain fatty acid acyl groups having a chain length of 12 or more carbon atoms at the sn-1 and sn-3 position in TAG; —LCSFA(sn-1,3) are the long chain saturated fatty acid acyl groups having a chain length of 12 or more carbon atoms at the sn-1 and sn-3 position in TAG; —wLCSFA(sn-1,3) is the amount of LCFA(sn-1,3) in % by weight based on total weight of fatty acid acyl groups in TAG; —mLCFA(sn-1,3) is the mole fraction of LCFA(sn-1,3) based on total moles of fatty acid acyl groups in the TAG as expressed in mol %; and—SFA is the mole fraction of saturated fatty acid acyl groups in the TAG as expressed in mol %.
