A process for a reactive separation of organic molecules from biomass includes a reaction step for the biomass, a simultaneous extraction step using a solvent, and a filtration step to recover products, wherein the products comprise ferulic acid and/or coumaric acid. The products are extracted from the biomass in a pressurized stirred batch reactor using a liquid extraction solvent and a base in which the ferulate and the coumarate remain.

Methods, formulations and production systems are provided. Methods comprise extracting black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) oil by processing BSFL, modifying the BSFL oil into modified BSFL (MBSFL) oil by converting triglycerides in the BSFL oil to medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) in the form of monoglycerides, fatty acid salts and/or free fatty acids, e.g., by saponification and/or hydrolysis, and applying the MBSFL oil to suppress biofilm development and/or microorganism growth (e.g., of Gram-positive and/or Gram-negative bacteria, fungi and possibly viruses). Applications of the MBSFL oil include dermal and/or oral applications, topical therapy, as well as applications to medical equipment and industrial applications.

A method of recovering organic components from an aqueous biomass in the method includes: (i) providing an aqueous biomass containing organic components; (ii) treatment of the aqueous biomass to release intracellular organic components from within cells of the biomass to form a biomass suspension; addition of a water-immiscible component to the biomass suspension to form a mixture comprising biomass and water-immiscible component; (iv) subjecting the mixture comprising biomass and water-immiscible component to high shear to form a water-in-water-immiscible-component emulsion; and (v) separating the water-immiscible component phase from the water/aqueous phase.

A method for processing algae-based products using flue gas heat includes mixing flue gas with water, receiving a heated gas in a first enclosure of a heat exchanger, receiving an algal paste in a second enclosure of the heat exchanger, introducing an organic solvent to the algal paste, extracting an algal oil and a plurality of algal shells from the algal paste by dissipating heat from the first enclosure to the second enclosure; and extracting the algal oil from the organic solvent and the algal shells.
