The present invention relates to processes of recovering oil after liquefaction and/or from thin stillage and/or syrup/evaporated centrate from a fermentation product production process by adding a thermostable protease to the whole stillage, thin stillage and/or syrup.

There is described a process for producing biodiesel and related products from mixtures. There is also described a process for producing precursors and feedstock materials for producing biodiesel and related products. The processes use esterification and trans-esterification, separation and purification. Other process steps such as acidification and distillation can also be used.

The present invention relates to a process reducing in a palm oil the content of unwanted propanol components selected from free chloropropanols, chloropropanol fatty acid esters and combinations of two or more thereof, and the process is comprising a bleaching step using an adsorbent comprising alumina oxide wherein the content of alumina oxide is not more than 9.5%, preferably the adsorbent is having a content of earth alkali oxides of from 12 to 27%.

An alkoxylated bio-oil composition is provided. The alkoxylated bio-oil composition may include an alkoxylated bio-oil prepared from an alkoxylation of dewatered bio-oil. A method for preparing an alkoxylated bio-oil composition is provided. A copolymer composition is provided. The copolymer composition may include an alkoxylated bio-oil copolymer unit. A method for preparing a copolymer composition is provided.

According to the present disclosure, on the basis of all existing mutations, the tenth glycine of a BC-PC-PLC is mutated into aspartic acid, a specific enzyme activity thereof is 83% higher than that of a sequence before the mutation, and protein expression and degumming activity of unit enzyme activity do not change, so as to further reduce manufacturing costs.

The present disclosure is generally directed to methods for purifying cannabinoids from Cannabis plants.

System and methods are disclosed with a holding tank to receive liquid and cryogenically frozen biomass; a cavitator to generate shock waves and pressure variations, wherein the shock waves and pressure variations are to the biomass and the liquid to separate oil from the biomass; a sensor to determine when oil concentration exceeds a threshold; and a valve to transfer the oil and liquid to an oil tank when the threshold is met.

The invention relates to a method for the purification of crude rice bran wax using an alcohol as a purifying solvent under high pressure conditions. It particularly relates to the use of ethyl alcohol as said solvent for efficient and economic purification of crude rice bran wax into economically valuable high purity wax products.

A system includes an algae bioreactor that contains an algae slurry, a heat exchanger in fluid communication with the algae bioreactor to receive the algae slurry from the algae bioreactor and heat and increase a pressure of the algae slurry, and one or more valves and a flash vessel in fluid communication with a discharge of the heat exchanger to flash the algae slurry and create steam and algae biomass. A separator receives the algae biomass from the flash vessel and separates oils from the algae biomass to generate a biofuel.
