The present invention relates to processes for producing industrial products such as hydrocarbon products from non-polar lipids in a vegetative plant part. Preferred industrial products include alkyl esters which may be blended with petroleum based fuels.

The present invention relates to processes for extracting lipid from vegetative plant parts such as leaves, stems, roots and tubers, and for producing industrial products such as hydrocarbon products from the lipids. Preferred industrial products include alkyl esters which may be blended with petroleum based fuels.

Provided herein are systems and methods for the facile extraction and purification of oils from plant material, including cannabis and hemp. The systems and methods herein are versatile, and may utilize a wide range of solvents to extract oils from a variety of plant-based material. Further, the provided systems and methods are closed loop, reducing the loss solvent and decreasing the risk of safety concerns such as human exposure to solvent chemicals or explosion of volatiles. In some embodiments, the systems and methods remove impurities from the extracted oils, for example waxes or other precipitates, and provide a higher purity and higher quality extract.

The present invention provides methods for separating polyenes from monoenes as well as products produced by the methods, and in particular to methods that comprise cryo-injection of an alcohol into a mixed-lipid composition.

A system and method effect the separation of wax and oil from a sorghum slurry. The sorghum slurry is mixed with supercritical CO.sub.2 to create a first output, and the first output is mixed with liquid CO.sub.2 causing a sudden drop in temperature such that solid wax particles drop from the first output to create a second output of CO.sub.2 and oil. The second output is heated while reducing pressure such that the CO.sub.2 is put into a gas phase and the oil separates from the CO.sub.2.

Fat blend comprising (i) 20-65 wt % of a vegetable lipid source and (ii) 35-80 wt % of a milk fat composition comprising at least one bovine milk fat fraction, wherein the milk fat composition comprises, relative to total fatty acid moieties, 37-48 mol % of long chain saturated fatty acid moieties with 12-18 carbon atoms (LCSFA C12:0-C18:0) and wherein 28-43 mol % of all fatty acid moieties positioned on the sn-1,3 position of the glycerol backbone in said milk fat composition are long chain saturated fatty acid moieties with 12-18 carbon atoms (LCSFA C12:0-C18:0).

The disclosure relates to microbial oils produced by oleaginous microorganisms, and fractions of those microbial oils. The disclosure provides microbial fats with higher melting temperatures and saturation levels. Further provided are methods of fractionating microbial oils.
