Methods of extracting biodiesel from a mixture of biodiesel and alcohol are provided. The methods can include contacting the mixture of biodiesel and alcohol with a petrodiesel to form a two-phase system including a polar phase and a nonpolar phase, wherein the alcohol preferentially partitions into the polar phase and the petrodiesel and biodiesel preferentially partition into the nonpolar phase, and separating the nonpolar phase from the polar phase to extract the biodiesel. The methods can include using a multi-stage extraction apparatus, for example in countercurrent or crosscurrent extraction arrangement. Methods of making a biodiesel blend are also provided. The methods can include making a biodiesel blend with a biodiesel content from about B2 to about B25.

The invention relates to a continuous process for fractionating a suspension chosen from a microalgal biomass or milk.

A method to process microalgae biomass and produce high-value chemicals from microalgae biomass is disclosed. The method uses the same biomass cells to extract more than one component such as lipids, water-soluble chemicals, carotenoids, polysaccharides and algae meal. The method is a sequence of physical and chemical treatments. Water soluble polysaccharides produced by the method exhibit properties of low viscosity at low shear thinning. A method for extracting dietary fiber from microalgal biomass is disclosed. Compositions of water-soluble polysaccharides that are fermented slowly by colon microbiota with less gas production than commercial dietary fiber FOS are disclosed. The present inventions described herein provide a method of improving colon health by increasing butyrate during a microalgal dietary fiber fermenting process by colonic microbiota.

A method for producing hemp oil, comprising decarboxylation of CBDA in hemp oil; short-path evaporation of CBD from the decarboxylated hemp oil to produce CBD oil; selective THC to CBN conversion performed on the decarboxylated hemp oil.

A process for production of biofuels from algae can include cultivating an oil-producing algae by promoting sequential photoautotrophic and heterotrophic growth. The method can further include producing oil by heterotrophic growth of algae wherein the heterotrophic algae growth is achieved by introducing a sugar feed to the oil-producing algae. An algal oil can be extracted from the oil-producing algae, and can be converted to form biodiesel.

The present disclosure relates to olive pomace and a green methodology to obtain derivative products for it valorization. The obtained products may be used as a solid substrate, nutraceuticals, cosmetics or food supplements.

Present invention relates to a novel process for purification of lipid material for further use as such as e.g. a source of fuel or chemicals.

Disclosed are processes for obtaining a microbial oil comprising one or more polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from one or more microbial cells by lysing the cells to form a lysed cell composition and then recovering the oil from the lysed cell composition. Further disclosed is microbial oil comprising one or more PUFAs that is recovered from microbial cells by at least one process described.
