Disclosed are techniques and systems for producing microbials having anaplerotic oils that are rich in odd-chain fatty acids, and other beneficial components, at higher concentrations than those present in other natural dietary sources of OCFA, at lower cost, and higher production yield. Such compositions can comprise pentadecanoic and heptadecanoic fatty acids. The techniques described herein include methods for producing and deriving such compositions rich in odd-chain fatty acids from microbials, including microalgae and yeasts/fungi.

The current invention relates to a method of isolating lipids from a lipids containing biomass with aid of hydrophobic silica and to an oil and to a delipidated biomass as obtained by such a method.

Provided herein are methods of recovering oil from microorganisms. The methods are useful, for example, in obtaining nutritional oils and/or lipid biofuels. The methods of recovering oil described herein include contacting a population of microorganisms with one or more enzymes under conditions that cause disruption of the microorganisms, concentrating the disrupted microorganisms, and extracting lipids from the disrupted microorganisms at high temperature in the presence of a salt and in the absence of solvent.

A microbial oil comprising: a specific amount of at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid having at least 20 carbon atoms in fatty acid alkyl ester form and/or in free fatty acid form; and specific amount of thermally-produced fatty acid having from 16 to 22 carbon atoms in a fatty acid alkyl ester form and/or a free fatty acid form. A production method thereof comprising: providing a starting oil containing at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid having at least 20 carbon atoms in an alkyl ester form and/or a free fatty acid form obtained from microbial biomass; performing a rectification of the starting oil under specific conditions; and obtaining the aforementioned microbial oil. A concentrated microbial oil obtained using the production method described above, and a production method thereof. An agent for treating or preventing an inflammatory disease comprising the microbial oil or the concentrated microbial oil.

Disclosed herein are processes for reducing or eliminating emulsion during the process of obtaining a microbial oil comprising one or more polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from one or more microbial cells by washing the fermentation broth with at least 1 amount of water. Further disclosed herein is microbial oil comprising one or more PUFAs that is recovered from microbial cells by at least one process described herein.

The present invention relates to a methods for producing bio-oils from vegetation high in lignin. The invention further relates to antimicrobial compositions comprising bio-oil extracted from vegetation high in lignin.

A process for extraction of crude oil from distillers dried grain solubles and/or distillers dried grains and producing corn distillers meal that may be used as a livestock supplement is disclosed. For example, the corn distillers meal may be used as a crude protein supplement for use in a livestock feed diet or a poultry feed diet. The solvent extracted crude oil may be suitable for oleochemical processing for personal care and home care products, biodiesel production, and/or renewable diesel production from hydro-treating the extracted oil to make green diesel fuel.

Described herein are compositions from refined oil from plant matter, and in particular from seed, bean, nut, kernel, or pulp (e.g., wood pulp) material of virgin and/or non-virgin plant matter, and methods of forming those compositions. The methods typically include the steps of (i) at least partially separating the seed, bean, nut, kernel, or pulp material from other portions of the plant matter; (ii) extracting an oil comprising one or more triglycerides from the seed, bean, nut, kernel, or pulp material; (iii) refining the oil to remove one or more impurity components; and (iv) chemically or physically modifying the refined oil.

The present invention relates to methods of synthesizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, in recombinant cells such as yeast or plant cells. Also provided are recombinant cells or plants which produce long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a group of new enzymes which possess desaturase or elongase activity that can be used in methods of synthesizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a novel oil-and-fat composition usable as an oil-and-fat sensation imparting material that can impart an oil-and-fat sensation to food and drink at a more natural and moderate intensity or can enhance or improve the oil-and-fat feeling in food and drink, and that can further enhance the flavor or texture that can be sensed in the oral cavity, such as a richness of taste, depth of taste, voluminous feeling, and feeling on the tongue; and a novel manufacturing method therefor. The present invention pertains to an oil-and-fat composition that has a moisture content of less than 1.0 mass % and that includes: component A that is three types of free fatty acids comprising free palmitic acid, free oleic acid, and free stearic acid; and component B that is two types of unsaturated aldehydes comprising 2-decenal and 2-octenal, wherein 0.002-0.2 parts by mass of component B is contained with respect to 100 parts by mass of component A, and at least 8.5 mass % of component A is contained with respect to the total mass of the composition.
