A process for mixing two or more streams of liquid oil which can be operated continuously, using a multi-inlet vortex mixer. The process is well suited to a process in which at least two streams of liquid oil have a different temperature, one being oil liquid at room temperature, one being solid at room temperature, but being melted for the mixing process.

New surfactants with emulsifying, bio and eco-compatible properties, having long-chain aliphatic amides, obtained by a green method, deriving from amino acids, fatty acids and/or oils and/or butters, treated with microwave irradiation are provided.

To provide an edible ingredient having an exceptional effect for enhancing umami.

An umami-enhancing composition having an oxidation treatment product of a palm-based oil and fat as an active ingredient. The umami-enhancing composition can be formulated through a manufacturing method including a step in which a palm-based oil and fat in which the total α-carotene and β-carotene content is 30 mass ppm or more and 2000 mass ppm or less is subjected to an oxidation treatment such that the peroxide value reaches 3 or greater and 250 or lower. The umami-enhancing composition is optimally used as a food-product ingredient, etc., for: manufacturing a seasoning, an extract, or an oil and fat composition for cooking with heat; or enhancing the umami of a food product.

A process for infusing a consumable substance is described. The process includes the steps of placing a desired amount of an infusion material into a chamber at atmospheric pressure, placing a desired amount of consumable substance into said chamber, sealing said chamber from the surrounding atmosphere, and applying at least one reduced pressure cycle within said chamber. Methods for separating the infusion material from the consumable substance after completion of the infusion process are also described. In addition, devices for infusing liquids or consumable substances, and/or brewing beverages are described. The present nvention relates to an apparatus for brewing beverages or infusing a consumable substance comprising a vessel, said vessel comprising a sealable chamber for holding a brewing or infusion material and a liquid or consumable substance, and a filter assembly connected to the sealable chamber; a liquid supply and conduit for introducing at least a portion of said liquid supply into said sealable chamber; and a vacuum source and conduit for reducing pressure in said sealable chamber.

Disclosed is a method for preparing bio-oil, which can be used as bio heavy fuel oil and bio marine oil, from a fatty acid with high acid value. The method for preparing bio-oil comprises the steps of: inputting materials comprising glycerine and a fatty acid into respective material input ports positioned in the center of a column-type reactor and esterification reacting the material comprising glycerine and fatty acid in each tray of a reaction area, thereby producing glyceride and water, wherein the column-type reactor has the plurality of trays installed inside the reactor so as to form a plurality of compartments in the vertical direction inside the reactor, openings are formed in the plurality of trays to connect the compartments which are vertically adjacent, and the openings of the adjacent compartments are alternately formed in a crisscrossing manner; obtaining the produced glyceride through a lower part of the reactor; and vaporizing the water produced by the esterification reaction, moving the water in a vapor state to a distillation area in an upper part of the reactor to separate the water from active components (reaction material and bio-oil) comprised in the vapor, allowing the separated active components to flow into the reaction area, and removing the separated water through the upper part of the reactor in a vapor state. The acid value of the glyceride is 30 mgKOH/g or lower, and the esterification reaction is performed at a reaction temperature of 200 to 250° C. and at ordinary pressure without using a catalyst.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing an oil/fat in which the glycidol content and glycidol fatty acid ester content are reduced. A method for manufacturing an edible fat/oil, wherein a step for decolorizing and deodorizing an oil/fat that contains a palm-based oil/fat, in which physically refined palm oil (RBDPO) is used as a raw material, includes a step for performing an acid-induced contacting process during a decolorization work step.
