The present invention relates to a process for preparing purified vegetable liquid oil, and the process is comprising contacting a vegetable liquid oil, which has not been subjected to a deodorization step, with an adsorbent comprising alumina oxide and wherein the adsorbent has a content of alumina oxide of not more than 9.5% and the obtained deodorized vegetable liquid oils.

Methods of treating edible oils, such as soybean oil, to reduce furan fatty acid content to produce edible oils that are more resistant to off-flavor development when used in food applications are described. Some methods include heat treatment of an edible oil in the presence of oxygen followed by deodorization to produce a heat-treated oil. Some methods includes treating an edible oil under conditions that promote conversion of furan fatty acids to 3-methyl-2,4-nonanedione (3MND) and/or 3-hydroxy-3MND (3H-3MND) in the presence of activated carbon to produce a carbon-treated oil. Also described are treated edible oils and foods that include treated edible oils.

Lipid compositions and lipid compositions included in cosmetic products, personal care products, skin care products, nutraceuticals, bio fuels, bio-lubricants, oleo chemicals, nutritional products, other bio-products, and animal feed compositions. Concentrations of lipid components. A method of removing and recovering a lipid composition by mixing a lipid feedstock with a solvent, separating the mixture into a raffinate phase and an extract phase containing beneficial non-glyceride compounds, removing solvent from the extract phase and obtaining a concentrate phase, and recovering a lipid composition from the concentrate phase. A method of producing a fatty acid alkyl ester. A method of producing a distiller's product. A method of performing secondary extractions and recovering a lipid composition by performing a first extraction on a lipid feedstock, performing a second extraction on a lipid feedstock, and exploiting differences in solubility limits to create unique product fractions derived from naturally occurring lipids.
