The present invention relates to a process for forming a stabilized fat blend. Further aspects of the invention are a composition comprising a fat blend and micronized antioxidant-containing vegetable material. The invention also provides for the use of micronized antioxidant-containing vegetable material to protect a fat blend from oxidation, for example a fat blend with a low level of saturated fat.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture that feature omega-3 fatty acids co-processed with flavonoid and lipophilic antioxidants for improved stability.

The present invention is directed to seed oil compositions that can be used for cooking and frying applications. These oil compositions of the present invention have advantageous stability characteristics. In some embodiments, the oil compositions have a low concentration of -linolenic acid.

The present invention relates to the field of methods for purifying fatty acid ethyl esters. According to the present invention, a method for obtaining a ?3 fatty acid ethyl ester, such as EPA and DHA, each as a high purity product at a high yield is provided. In the method according to the present invention, a raw material fat including EPA and DHA is treated with a lipolytic enzyme and ethyl-esterification is performed as needed; the treated substance is fractionated into a glyceride fraction and a free fatty acid fraction; a fraction comprising more EPA ester and a fraction comprising DHA ester are obtained from the respective fractions; the fraction comprising more EPA ester is purified to prepare a high-purity EPA ester; and the fraction comprising more DHA ester is purified to prepare a high-purity DHA ester.

A method for preserving cooking oil comprises contacting the oil with oil-permeable cementious material in the form of either stand-alone blocks, pellets, granules, or balls and which has been hydraulically hardened from a paste comprising (a) >50 wt % of (i) white OPC clinker, (ii) white OPC or (iii) a mixture of white OPC clinker and white OPC, and (b) optionally further ingredients selected from silica, titania, lime, calcium sulphate, hydrated alumina, natural feldspars, diatomaceous earth, Na and Ca forms of natural and synthetic zeolites, clays, pillared clays, activated clays/earths, silicate minerals selected from calcium silicate, magnesium silicate, aluminum silicate, agalmatolite, amphiboles, attapulgite, granite porphyry, kaolinite, porphyry, rhyolite, talc and wollastonite, wherein the porosity of the cementious material is 30-55%. The oil-permeable cementious material has during manufacture been subjected to prolonged drying at elevated temperatures so as to reduce the amount of foaming occurring in the oil during treatment with the said cementious material.

The present invention relates to 2-oxoacids modified for use as stabilizers in non-polar applications, such as applications that contain food fats or oils, or fragrance oils.

Lipid composition comprising unsaturated lipids such as omega 3 and omega 6, antioxidants and phyllosilicate particles, wherein the phyllosilicate particles are clusters of sheets, wherein said antioxidants comprise water-soluble antioxidants dissolved in the water adsorbed in the phyllosilicate sheets and wherein the phyllosilicate sheets are dispersed in the composition by an amphiphilic dispersant adsorbed on the surface of the phyllosilicate particles.

An anti-oxidation frying device includes a frying vessel having an electrically conductive body configured to heat cooking oil carried therein by a heating unit. A removable basket, also formed of electrically conductive material, is configured to be carried within the frying vessel to enable the cooking of food in the heated oil. A rectification circuit is coupled to the heating unit, the body of the frying vessel, and the basket. During operation the rectification circuit converts AC power from an external power source into a rippled, rectified AC current signal that is supplied to the heating unit, body of the frying vessel, and the basket, so as to create a reducing environment of available electrons for absorption by the cooking oil and food as it is prepared, thus extending the life of the cooking oil.
