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.

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.

A method to purify black liquor soap (BLS) from sulfur compounds is disclosed. In the BLS desulfurization method, a BLS composition is heated in an inert atmosphere and sulfur is removed via aqueous extractions with inorganic base in the absence of other chemicals such as brine, sulfate salts and carbonate salts. The purified BLS composition exhibits favorable properties, including reduced sulfur content, lower color, and improved odor characteristics. The resulting tall oil compositions, depitched tall oil compositions, tall oil distillation fractions, and products derived therefrom also show reduced sulfur content, lower color, and improved odor characteristics.

The present invention relates to a method and a set of devices installed in series in a linked manner for the extraction of extra-virgin argan oil from argan fruit, and of other oleaginous (Barbary fig seed, grapeseed, almond walnut, avocado, cherry, sunflower seed, avocado, etc.) oils, making it possible to reduce the production time while guaranteeing the quality level of the product and a better yield. These oils have various uses and applications: food, cosmetic and therapeutic oils. The invention makes it possible to obtain a quality extra-virgin argan oil without chemical transformation and destruction.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a refined vegetable oil. It relates to a process for reducing the content of free chloropropanols and chloropropanol fatty acid esters in a vegetable oil, and it is comprising the following steps in order: a) refining a vegetable oil, wherein the refining is comprising at least a deodorization step at a temperature below 230? C., and subjecting the refined vegetable oil to a short path evaporation, and collecting a vegetable oil having a content of free chloropropanols and chloropropanol fatty acid esters of not more than 500 ppb and a color expressed as its red component equal or below 3.0.

Disclosed in the present disclosure is a method for extracting and separating various components from flaxseed meal based on a subcritical composite solvent, including the following steps: adding an extraction agent to flaxseed meal for subcritical extraction to obtain a crude flax lignan extract and crude flaxseed oil in one step, where the extraction agent includes n-butane and anhydrous ethanol at a volume ratio of 1:1; adding n-hexane to the crude flaxseed oil for fractional extraction, and conducting rotary evaporation to obtain flaxseed oil; and subjecting the flaxseed meal used to hot water extraction to obtain flaxseed gum. In the present disclosure, the subcritical composite solvent used in an extraction process can replace a large number of organic reagents used in a traditional extraction process, and has the characteristics of good solvent effect, environmental friendliness, recyclability, and low burden on the environment.
