A filter system and filtration process for obtaining a filtered liquid and slurrifying a filter cake and whereby the filter cake is slurrified under such conditions that the solids of the slurrified filter cake maintain a suitable quality for being re-used. The filter system has a housing (1) comprising an aperture (6) for liquid containing solids, and a discharge outlet (5) and is characterized in that the housing (1) of the filter system is comprising a slurrification section (3) and at least one filter element (2) having two sides wherein one side is suitable for building up a filter cake and another sides is suitable for contact with filtered liquid, and the slurrification section is comprising at least one nozzle (4) for steam or gas injection and the discharge outlet (5) is suitable for discharging a slurry.

Described herein is a polymerized biorenewable, petroleum based, previously modified, or functionalized oil, comprising a polymeric distribution ranging from about 2 to about 80 wt % oligomer content, a hydroxyl value ranging from about 0 to about 400, and an iodine value ranging from about 0 to about 200. Methods of manufacturing the polymerized oil as well as its incorporation into asphalt paving, roofing, and coating applications are also described.

A method of purifying biomass-based lipid material, as disclosed includes providing a feed of biomass-based lipid material; optionally drying the feed; removing oxygen from the feed under reduced pressure; heat treating the feed at 180 to 300° C. under reduced pressure to solidify at least part of phosphorous and/or metal containing impurities, simultaneously distilling off at least part of free fatty acids and low molecular weight nitrogen compounds, to obtain at least a fraction containing free fatty acids and low molecular weight nitrogen compounds, and heat treated biomass-based lipid material containing degraded phosphorous and/or metal containing impurities in solid form; and removing the solid degraded phosphorous and/or metal containing impurities from the second fraction.

This invention provides a technique that is capable of efficiently producing a phospholipid concentrate without using centrifugation and that is suitable for scaling up, the technique being for use in obtaining a phospholipid concentrate by subjecting an ethanol extract concentrate of bird breast meat to a degumming step and collecting gum. More specifically, the invention provides a method for producing a phospholipid concentrate, comprising a step of allowing a liquid mixture comprising an ethanol extract concentrate of bird breast meat and a 40 to 60 mass % aqueous ethanol solution in a mass ratio of 1:0.8 to 1.2 to stand at 40 to 60° C.

Use of an olive oil milling by-product (Alperujo or Olive Pomace) for the co-processing and co-extraction of natural compounds from medicinal and aromatic plants, fruits and agricultural waste, algae and other microorganisms. Separation and stabilization of fractions containing either hydrophilic or liposoluble compounds. The plants may include Cannabis.

The present invention provides cold pressed olive oil having free fatty acid (FFA) content of less than 0.1% wt and processes for its preparation.

An apparatus and process for extracting organic molecular compounds from plant material and concentrating those into a viscous oil, the process supported by a machine architecture that heats, cools, and stirs a cooking mixture of plant material and a consumable solvent oil, the viscous oil suitable for use in sublingual tinctures, food products, and topical salves.

The present invention provides a process for the enzymatic degumming of unrefined triglyceride oils, said process comprising: a) providing an unrefined triglyceride oil having a phosphorus content of at least 100 mg per kg of unrefined triglyceride oil; b) combining the unrefined triglyceride oil with water, lactic acid and enzyme to produce an oil-and-water emulsion, said enzyme being selected from phospholipase, lipid acyltransferase and combinations thereof; c) keeping the emulsion at a temperature of 20-90° C. for at least 10 minutes; and d) separating degummed triglyceride oil from the emulsion. This enzymatic degumming process is extremely effective in removing phospholipids, including non-hydratable phospholipids (NHP), from crude and other unrefined vegetable oils.
