The present disclosure relates to an oil and fat composition, use thereof and a food comprising the oil and fat composition. The oil and fat composition of the disclosure comprises 50-99.5 wt % triglyceride and 0.5-50 wt % wax by the total weight of the composition, the triglyceride is represented by the following formula (1), and the definitions of the groups in formula (1) are as recorded in the description. The oil and fat composition is suitable for preparation of a food. ##STR00001##

The present invention concerns an enzymatic process for the preparation of a triglyceride ingredient comprising triglycerides present in human breast milk.

Provided are a solvent-free laminating adhesive which enables a laminate after lamination to have a good appearance, and which enables a laminate to maintain a good appearance even when the laminate is formed by high-speed lamination; a cured product of the solvent-free laminating adhesive; a polyol composition for lamination adhesives, which serves as one component of the adhesive; and a multilayer film which uses the adhesive. A solvent-free laminating adhesive composition contains, as essential components, (A) a polyisocyanate component and (B) a polyol component. In the solvent-free laminating adhesive composition, the polyol component (B) contains (b1) castor oil or a hydroxyl group-containing castor oil derivative, and (b2) a polyalkylene glycol having a number average molecular weight of 2,500 to 7,000.

This disclosure provides a triglyceride oil possessing an extremely low cloud point and low viscosity concomitant with a higher than anticipated saturated fatty acid content, very low polyunsaturated fatty acid content, and low iodine value. While many naturally occurring triglyceride oils possess one or more of these properties, natural triglyceride oils lack one or more of these attributes, thus making them less than ideal in industrial applications, such as lubricants, fuels, or dielectric fluids. The combination of attributes possessed by a triglyceride oil described herein, achieved without the addition of any additives, is unique compared with natural counterparts and as such, can find wide applications in the aforementioned fields.

The present invention relates to hydroxy-triglycerides, their synthesis, a pharmaceutical and/or nutraceutical composition which comprises at least one of said hydroxy-triglycerides, and a method which comprises the administration to a patient of a therapeutically effective quantity of at least one of said hydroxy-triglycerides or at least one of said pharmaceutical and/or nutraceutical compositions, for the prevention and/or treatment of at least one disease selected from cancer, metabolic/cardiovascular diseases, and/or neurological/inflammatory diseases.

A method for production of a biodiesel is described herein. The method for production of a biodiesel comprises (a) separating solids from a waste oil composition to provide a clarified oil composition; (b) acidifying the clarified oil composition to produce an acidified oil composition including free fatty acids derived from the waste oil; (c) converting at least a portion of the free fatty acids in the acidified oil composition to glycerides to provide a glyceride composition; and (d) reacting at least a portion of the glycerides in the glyceride composition with methanol to form fatty acid methyl ester to provide a biodiesel composition.
