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

A temperature controlled plant maceration and extraction system and method is provided comprising an extraction chamber, an end cap at an one end of the extraction chamber, and an inlet gas valve at a second end. A hollow temperature jacket is formed around the extraction chamber from the first wall and an outer wall defining a space there between that is sealed at the one end and second end. A frame having a first and second pass-through axle is provided, one each fixedly mounted on the jacket between the one end and second end of the extraction chamber. Wherein organic matter is introduced via the one end, a solvent is injected into the chamber at the inlet valve on the second end, the extraction chamber is then rotated about the axels enabling the solvent to repeatedly wash over the organic matter performing maceration of organic matter.

The present invention relates to a low-temperature treated perilla oil for suppressing generation of coagulated suspended materials during low-temperature cold storage and a preparation method therefor, and more particularly, to a low-temperature treated perilla oil for suppressing generation of coagulated suspended materials during low-temperature cold storage and a preparation method therefor, wherein in the low-temperature storage and cold storage of perilla oil, which are essentially implemented to increase the storage period of the perilla oil through the minimization of rancidity of the perilla oil, a perilla oil without the generation of coagulated suspended materials during low-temperature cold storage is provided, and thus a high-quality clean perilla oil that does not give an eating person an unpleasant feeling due to suspended materials is provided.

The present invention provides a method for extracting lipids from microorganisms without using organic solvent as an extraction solvent. In particular, the present invention provides a method for extracting lipids from microorganisms by lysing cells and removing water soluble compound and/or materials by washing the lysed cell mixtures with aqueous washing solutions until a substantially non-emulsified lipid is obtained.

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.

PROBLEM To provide a composition comprising highly enriched PUFA or its alkyl esters while containing fatty acid esters of 3-MCPD at adequately low concentrations and to provide an efficient method for producing the composition.

MEANS FOR SOLVING A composition that contains fatty acids or fatty acid alkyl esters as its major component, the composition containing highly unsaturated fatty acid or alkyl ester thereof, wherein the proportion of the highly unsaturated fatty acid in the constituent fatty acids of the composition is 50 area % or more and wherein the concentration of 3-MCPD as found upon analyzing the composition by American Oil Chemists' Society official method Cd 29b-13 assay A is less than 1.80 ppm.

Processes for processing bio-sourced oil to produce bio-sourced oil dielectric fluids can be carried out using an apparatus mounted on a mobile transport platform system having a total footprint of no more than about 30 m.sup.2. The processes use a described array of pumps, heaters, filters, a degasser and vacuum system, and an additive metering/mixing valve system to achieve production under low energy and pressure conditions.

The present invention relates to a method of reducing the phospholipid content in an oil or fat composition and polypeptides having PI-specific phospholipase C activity as well as polypeptides having PC, PE-specific phospholipase C activity and combinations thereof capable of catalyzing this reduction. The invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides.

The present invention discloses a method for co-production and processing of biological energy sources by oil crops, and belongs to the technical fields of oleochemical industry and biomass chemical industry. The method comprises the following steps: husking and drying oil crop seeds to obtain husks of which the moisture content is 5%-12% and oil seeds of which the moisture content is 30%-55%; squeezing and extracting the obtained oil seeds to obtain vegetable oil and oil seed meal; performing esterification reaction on the vegetable oil and alcohol to be separated to obtain bio-diesel and crude glycerol; performing cooking treatment on the husks and/or the oil seed meal in the crude glycerol to be separated to obtain oil crude cellulose and glycerol treating liquid; performing microbial fermentation or anaerobic digestion on the oil crude cellulose and the glycerol treating liquid respectively to obtain biological energy sources or bio-based chemicals. The present invention adopts bio-refining type recycling of industrial oil crops to realize efficient co-production of biological energy sources and obviously increase the utilization rate of biomass raw materials in agriculture and forestry.
