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.

A method for the separate extraction of rice bran oil and rice bran wax using supercritical CO.sub.2 as extraction medium and including two separation steps involving different predetermined pressure and temperature conditions.

A phospholipid extract from a marine or aquatic biomass possesses therapeutic properties. The phospholipid extract comprises a variety of phospholipids, fatty acid, metals and a novel flavonoid.

Disclosed is a Japanese camellia extract, obtained by extracting Camellia japonica flowers by way of a fatty substance or fatty substance mixture, and to a cosmetic composition including one such extract that has, in particular, a skin-moisturizing effect.

A method of applying energy to CBD oil is provided. The method may include obtaining CBD oil from a plant, combining the CBD oil with a carrier oil, heating the combination of the CBD oil and carrier oil, mixing the CBD oil and carrier oil, filtering the CBD oil and carrier oil to a size of less than 60 nanometers, and applying an energy field to the CBD oil and carrier oil through a laser effector such that an electron is promoted from a bonding or non-bonding orbital into an empty anti-bonding orbitals of the CBD molecule. The laser effector may be a pink sapphire cut into a 15 equal side faceted crystal, double-stacked in a 2.3 cm cylindrical chamber, or an opulence half dome bubble lens configured to refract the beam.

Disclosed herein are cells, nucleic acids, and proteins that can be used to produce branched (methyl)lipids, such as 10-methylstearic acids, and compositions that include such lipids. Cells disclosed herein comprise methyltransferase and/or reductase genes from bacteria of the class Gammaproteobacteria, which encode enzymes capable of catalyzing the production of branched (methyl)lipids from unbranched, unsaturated lipids. Saturated branched (methyl)lipids produced using embodiments of the present invention have favorable low-temperature fluidity and favorable oxidative stability, which are desirable properties for lubricants and specialty fluids.

A method for purification of a triacylglyceride oil comprising the steps of concentrating the insoluble components in the melted triacylglyceride oil, by applying a centrifugational force on the liquid triacylglyceride oil whilst maintaining the triacylglyceride oil above its melting temperature; and/or allowing the insoluble components to settle by gravitational force whilst maintaining the triacylglyceride oil above its melting temperature; and separating the triacylglyceride oil from the insoluble components. A triacylglyceride oil obtained by the method of the invention for use in food production is also provided.

Methods and systems for the production and isolation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) from a lipid source are described. The method includes extracting a lipid from a lipid source and transesterifying the lipid into a FAME. The method may also include fractionating the FAME from the system. A method of selectively transesterifying a lipid into a FAME is also described.
