The present invention relates to a method and system of extracting an oil from an oil-containing raw material comprising the steps of providing a non-crushed oil-containing raw material, and treating the non-crushed oil-containing raw material. The treatment is performed by exposing the oil-containing raw material to vacuum, wherein the vacuum defines an absolute pressure of between 1 mm Hg and 150 mm Hg, and a temperature of between 0° C. and 45° C., and by subjecting the oil-containing raw material to crushing, simultaneously and/or subsequently to the step of exposing the oil-containing raw material to the vacuum, to provide a treated oil-containing raw material. By the method and system, high yield of oil with high quality can be obtained.

A method for purification of a triacylglyceride oil comprising the steps: (a) admixing the triacylglyceride oil with an auxiliary trapping agent, wherein the melting temperatures of the triacylglyceride oil and the auxiliary trapping agent are substantially different, wherein the auxiliary trapping agent is soluble in the triacylglyceride oil, and wherein the auxiliary trapping agent is more polar than the triacylglyceride oil; (b) (i) crystallising the auxiliary trapping agent by cooling the mixture of step (a) below the melting temperature of the auxiliary trapping agent, wherein the auxiliary trapping agent has a higher melting temperature than the triacylglyceride oil; or (ii) crystallising the triacylglyceride oil by cooling the mixture of step (a) below the melting 10 temperature of the triacylglyceride oil, wherein the triacylglyceride oil has a higher melting temperature than the auxiliary trapping agent; and (c) separating solid and liquid phases of the product of step (b).

A refined oil comprising at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), wherein the oil has a fatty acid ester of monochloropropanediol, epoxypropanol, and mixtures thereof in an amount of 10 ppm or less, and processes for producing the oil. The oil is preferably a microbial or marine oil.
