The invention relates to a method of making an oil product, said method comprising: (i) forming a suspension of flax seed hemp, or chia in water, (ii) heat treating the suspension; (iii) reducing the particle size of the suspension, for example by grinding; (iv) optionally adjusting the suspension pH to between pH 7 to 8, or to about pH 7.5; (v) filtering the suspension and (vi) adjusting the suspension pH to between pH 2 to 3.5, or about pH 2.5; and (vii) obtaining a retentate, preferably by centrifuging; and (viii) adding the retentate to a melted fat or melted fat blend to form an oil product.

Disclosed is a method for producing biocrude and bioactive substances from microalgae biomass. The method has the steps of mixing and stirring dry microalgae biomass with water and an acid catalyst, heating the mixture at high pressure at a temperature and time based on each individual species or processing the biomass mixture in a colloidal mill with solvent, separating lysed algae cells into non-polar extracts from water-soluble extracts via vacuum filtration, washing the lysed algae cells and non-polar extracts with organic solvents, separating the organic solvent mixture, which has ethanol and long-chain fatty acids, from the remaining biochar via vacuum filtration, and separating the ethanol from the fatty acids via distillation or rotary evaporator to extract bio-oil.
