An extraction system comprises an extraction chamber having an end cap at an one end accepting organic matter and gas or liquid solvent. A collection vessel is attached below the extraction chamber, a viewing vessel is sealed at an acute angle to a sidewall of the collection vessel enabling visual inspection at the collection plate. A gas tank is connected to the extraction chamber introducing solvent and a frame supports chamber by axles fixedly mounted on opposite sides of the extraction chamber, said axles supported by the frame structure enabling free rotation of the chamber about the axles. After gas is introduced to the organic matter, the extraction chamber is rotated vigorously about the axis, the one end is then connected to the open upper end of the collection vessel, and a lipid yield is collected at the collection plate.

This invention discloses new krill oil compositions characterized by having high amounts of phospholipids, astaxanthin esters and/or omega-3 contents. The krill oils are obtained from krill meal using supercritical fluid extraction in a two stage process. Stage 1 removes the neutral lipid by extracting with neat supercritical CO.sub.2 or CO.sub.2 plus approximately 5% of a co-solvent. Stage 2 extracts the actual krill oils by using supercritical CO.sub.2 in combination with approximately 20% ethanol. The krill oil materials obtained are compared with commercially available krill oil and found to be more bioeffective in a number of areas such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidant effects, improving insulin resistances and improving blood lipid profile.

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.
