A highly unsaturated fatty acid or a highly unsaturated fatty acid ethyl ester that has been produced using as a feedstock oil a fat or oil that contains highly unsaturated fatty acids as constituent fatty acids and which has been reduced in the contents of environmental pollutants, wherein among the dioxins contained, polychlorinated dibenzoparadioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are contained in amounts of less than 0.05 pg-TEQ/g and coplanar PCBs (Co-PCBs) in amounts of less than 0.03 pg-TEQ/g. Also disclosed is a method for producing the highly unsaturated fatty acid or highly unsaturated fatty acid ethyl ester by the steps of removing free fatty acids and environmental pollutants by thin-film distillation from a feedstock oil, ethyl esterifying the resulting fat or oil, and refining the same by rectification and column chromatography.

The present disclosure provides compounds useful as ionizable cationic lipids. The ionizable cationic lipids are useful for preparing lipid nanoparticles for the delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids to cells. Cationic ionizable lipids were engineered with improved stability to oxidative degradation while in storage.

A method comprising a series of selective extraction techniques for the parallel production of biodiesel and isolation of several valuable co-products including an alkenone hydrocarbon mixture of the kerosene/jet fuel range (primarily C10-, C12-, and C17-hydrocarbons) and fucoxanthin, a high-valued carotenoid, from the marine alkenone-producing microalgae Isochrysis.

The present disclosure relates to methods for using one or more polypeptides with phytase activity in grain processing, ethanol, and biofuel production.

Disclosed are multifunctional compounds represented by structural formula (I):

##STR00001##

methods of producing compounds represented by structural formula (I) and their use in inhibiting corrosion in corrodible material.

The present invention concerns an enzymatic process for the preparation of an ingredient comprising 1,3-Olein-2-palmitin (OPO), the most abundant triglyceride present in human breast milk. This is achieved by using immobilized lipase from Ther-momyces lanuginosis for producing 1,3-olein-2-palmitin (1,3-Dioleate-2-palmitate-glycerol) using as substrate tripalmitin or triglycerides enriched in palmitic acid at SN-2 position by first alcoholysis in presence of C3 to C5 alcohol (butanol, pentanol, isopropanol) to produce 2-monopalmitin which is purified by selective crystallization at decreased temperature, followed by esterification using the same lipase and oleic acid.

Use of a compound having the formula (1) (2) (3) (4) or combinations thereof, for providing a source of butyrate with improved organoleptic properties wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are independently a long chain fatty acid having between 16 and 20 carbons for use in recovery from antibiotic mediated gut microbiota disturbance and/or preventing and/or treating gastrointestinal infections.

The invention relates to an estolide ester composition with improved sensory properties for cosmetic or pharmaceutical topical applications.

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.

The present invention concerns an enzymatic process for the preparation of a triglyceride ingredient comprising triglycerides present in human breast milk.
