The purpose of the present invention is to provide very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and/or derivatives thereof. Substance production of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and/or derivatives thereof has been possible by the conventional technology. However, concentrations of the produced substances have been low. The substance production of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and/or derivatives thereof has been possible. However, the substances produced cannot be obtained in sufficient concentrations and cannot be used as compositions. The present invention provides very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and/or derivatives thereof with increased concentrations. Moreover, the object of the present invention is to provide a composition comprising very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and/or derivatives thereof.

A composition suitable for cleaning hard surfaces comprising a natural oil solvent and a natural oil thickener is provided.

The present invention describes tunable methods of treating cellulosic materials with a composition that provides increased hydrophobicity and/or lipophobicity to such materials without sacrificing the biodegradability thereof. The methods as disclosed provide for binding of saccharide fatty acid esters on cellulosic materials, including that the disclosure provides products made by such methods. The materials thus treated display higher hydrophobicity, lipophobicity, barrier function, and mechanical properties, and may be used in any application where such features are desired.

An entirely water-based, energy self-sufficient, integrated in-line waste management system is provided for comprehensive conversion of all organic fractions of municipal and wider community waste to fuels suitable for use in transportation, with all solid residues converted to high nutrition compost. The system is based on a combination of pre-treatment, involving alkaline hydrolysis and saponification; three-way separation of the pre-treated waste into different streams that are each directed to suitable further processing including fuel production; which includes biodiesel generation in a continuous-flow catalytic esterification unit, and anaerobic digestion to produce methane or other small molecule biofuel. Remaining solids are converted to compost in a quasi-continuous process.

Embodiments herein relate to the production of alkyl esters from lipid feed stocks. In an embodiment, a process for producing alkyl esters is included. The process can include mixing a lipid feed stock with an alcohol, water, and at least one of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and/or one or more acids to form a reaction mixture, and contacting the reaction mixture with a catalyst under supercritical conditions for the alcohol, the catalyst comprising a metal oxide. Other embodiments are also included herein.
