The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for making one or more antimicrobial compositions and/or one or more virucidal disinfectant compositions. Said methods and systems include exposing a vegetable oil composition to ozone gas to cause ozonolysis of on one or more unsaturated fatty acids present in the vegetable oil composition, thereby forming an ozonated vegetable oil composition and exposing the ozonated vegetable oil composition to a temperature greater than 60 C. while in contact with water to decompose one or more ozonide compounds and form a heat-treated, ozonated vegetable oil composition. The present disclosure also relates to one or more uses of said one or more antimicrobial compositions and/or one or more virucidal disinfectant compositions.

A method includes contacting an initial composition comprising (i) a triglyceride and (ii) glycidol, a glycidyl ester, or both glycidol and a glycidyl ester with an effective amount of silica-zirconia catalyst in a continuous reactor. The methods are useful in producing a treated composition, e.g., a treated edible oil, having a reduced concentration of (ii) as compared to the initial composition.

A method for treating a lipid material containing phosphorous and/or metal compounds is described. The method includes providing the lipid material, preheating the lipid material, to obtain a preheated lipid material, heat treating the preheated lipid material in a heat treatment step, to obtain a heat treated lipid material, and optionally post treating the heat treated lipid material in a post treatment step.

The present invention relates to methods of producing industrial products from plant lipids, particularly from vegetative parts of plants. In particular, the present invention provides oil products such as biodiesel and synthetic diesel and processes for producing these, as well as plants having an increased level of one or more non-polar lipids such as triacylglycerols and an increased total non-polar lipid content. In one particular embodiment, the present invention relates to combinations of modifications in two or more of lipid handling enzymes, oil body proteins, decreased lipid catabolic enzymes and/or transcription factors regulating lipid biosynthesis to increase the level of one or more non-polar lipids and/or the total non-polar lipid content and/or mono-unsaturated fatty acid content in plants or any part thereof. In an embodiment, the present invention relates to a process for extracting lipids. In another embodiment, the lipid is converted to one or more hydrocarbon products in harvested plant vegetative parts to produce alkyl esters of the fatty acids which are suitable for use as a renewable biodiesel fuel.

The present process effectively produces hydrocarbon products upon hydrotreating a feedstock of biological origin. The process comprises first providing a bio feedstock, then passing the feedstock to a reactor comprising a catalyst system comprised of two layers of catalysts. The first or top layer comprises a catalyst comprising about 2 to 6 wt. % Mo, 0.2 to 0.9 wt. % Ni, and 0.05 to 0.50 wt. % P. The second layer comprises a catalyst comprising about 6 to 16 wt. % Mo, 0.1 to 1.3 wt. % Ni, and 0.5 to 2.9 wt. % P. The bio feedstock is then reacted over layers of catalysts. The reaction provides excellent hydrodeoxygenation at a lower reactor temperature than typically required.
