A method of separating oil from a composition containing an oil and water emulsion, by adding a separation additive which is a mixture of a fatty ester of an alkoxylated polyol and a fatty ester of alkoxylated glycerol, and performing at least one oil separation step. The method is particularly suitable for separating corn oil from stillage produced in a corn ethanol mill.

The present invention provides a method for the simultaneous enhancement in biomass and lipids containing omega-3-fatty acids of Thraustochytrid microalgae in a single step using synergistic effect of chemical mixture in appropriate proportion in production medium. The process discloses enriching the biomass of microalgae with high value lipids by subjecting the microalgal cells in growth medium supplemented with unique combination of chemical modulators and carbon substrates in the presence of nitrogen. The present invention also provides a novel strain Schizochytrium sp. (MTCC 5980) for use in continuous aerobic fermentative lipid production process for enhancing high value lipids like Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), Docasapentaenoic acid (DPA), Eicosapentaenic acid (EPA) and lipids for biodiesel.
