The present invention relates to a process for preparing a deodorized oil with in-situ prepared mono-acylglycerides and the oil obtained as such. It relates to a process for preparing a deodorized oil containing in-situ prepared mono-acylglycerides by interesterifying in presence of an enzyme a glyceride containing fraction wherein the ratio of free and esterified hydroxyl groups (OH) to free and esterified fatty acids (FA) is greater than 1.07 and obtaining an oily composition containing less than 1% w/w, preferably less than 0.5% free fatty acids. Furthermore it relates to a deodorized oil containing 30 to 70% triglycerides, 20 to 50% di-acyl glycerides, 1.5 to 25% mono-acyl glycerides.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing polyols. In particular, the present invention relates to the preparation, in a single step, of polyols by a process involving a hydrohydroxymethylation reaction starting from a composition A comprising one or more compounds of formula (I).

There is provided a vegetable-based lipid composition comprising very high levels of -linolenic acid (ALA), together with at least one other long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (typically as fatty acid esters). The composition is obtainable from a single source by conventional processing methods, and has improved stability properties.

The present invention provides a method for producing a refined fatty acid alkyl ester (FAAE) product from feed-stocks containing free fatty acids. The method comprises glycerolysis and transesterification processes combined with end-product refining. Products produced from a transesterification reaction are separated into a crude FAAE stream and a crude glycerin stream. The crude glycerin stream is further processed to produce a glyceride stream from which additional FAAEs may be produced.
