The present invention relates to a method of admixing a volume of water in which acid- or base-forming compounds are contained and whose volume fraction is >5% by volume in the ratio to be purified lipid phase and/or in a volume ratio that allows the formation of a water phase in order to separate hydratable mucilage from a lipid phase, to purify a lipid phase and/or to obtain the hydratable mucilages.

In one aspect of the invention, a method recovers oil from a concentrated byproduct, such as evaporated thin stillage formed during a dry milling process used for producing ethanol. The method includes forming a concentrate from the byproduct and recovering oil from the concentrate. The step of forming the concentrate may comprise evaporating the byproduct. Further, the step of separating the oil from the concentrate may comprise using a centrifuge and, in particular, a disk stack centrifuge. Other aspects of the invention include related methods and subsystems for recovering oil from thin stillage.

The present invention relates to a polyunsaturated fatty acid composition comprising Omega-3 fatty acids, 17-HDHA and 18-HEPE. The composition can furthermore comprise DPA and/or an acceptable carrier and can be present in a capsule or other suitable dosage unit. The invention also relates to the process of obtaining the composition and methods for using same.

A method for refining vegetable oil is used to reduce formation of soaps. An acid-treated vegetable oil mixture is passed through a low shear mixing device prior to being fed to a static hydrodynamic reactor. The static hydrodynamic reactor induces a neutralization reaction that forms soaps in a pressurized vegetable oil mixture. The reacted mixture is discharged from the reactor to a downstream system for separating the formed soaps from the reacted mixture to form a refined vegetable oil having reduced soaps content.

Provided is a method for producing a concentrated oil-based polyphenol composition for human consumption. The unique combination of polyphenols in a biologic oil-based formulation may be administered for optimal effects on human platelets, lipids, and inflammatory markers. These physiologic changes have beneficial effects for human health and longevity.

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

The present invention relates to extraction of phytosterols from alkaline tall oil soap which is obtained from the Kraft process black liquor by skimming. In the method according to the present invention, phytosterols are extracted using dibromomethane, bromoform, tetrabromomethane or a combination thereof.

The present invention relates to methods of producing industrial products from plant lipids, particularly from vegetative parts of plants. In particular, the present invention provides oil products such as biodiesel and synthetic diesel and processes for producing these, as well as plants having an increased level of one or more non-polar lipids such as triacylglycerols and an increased total non-polar lipid content. In one particular embodiment, the present invention relates to combinations of modifications in two or more of lipid handling enzymes, oil body proteins, decreased lipid catabolic enzymes and/or transcription factors regulating lipid biosynthesis to increase the level of one or more non-polar lipids and/or the total non-polar lipid content and/or mono-unsaturated fatty acid content in plants or any part thereof. In an embodiment, the present invention relates to a process for extracting lipids. In another embodiment, the lipid is converted to one or more hydrocarbon products in harvested plant vegetative parts to produce alkyl esters of the fatty acids which are suitable for use as a renewable biodiesel fuel.
