The present invention relates to a method for accelerating oxidation of lipids comprising the step of holding a lipid composition in the presence of cumin for a prolonged time at an elevated temperature. Further aspects of the invention are the resulting lipid composition as well as food products such as concentrated seasoning or flavoring products, condiments, sauces, gravies or ready-to-eat food products comprising said lipid composition.

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.

A seed-oil based reactive diluent is synthesized via a two-step process wherein in the first step, unsaturated seed oils such as soybean oil first react with mono-hydroxy functional amines to form an intermediate mixture composed of mono-hydroxy functional seed oil based derivatives and in the second step, a core molecule having multiple hydroxyl-reactive groups reacts with the intermediate mixture prepared from the first step and a polyol cross-linker to form a reactive diluent with a star-branched shape.

The present invention provides a fatty glyceride preparation method, comprising converting fatty acid short-chain alcohol ester into fatty glyceride basic mixture by sequentially carrying out a normal-pressure reaction and a vacuum reaction in the nitrogen condition in the temperature of 80 C. to 150 C.; and meanwhile adding a basic catalyst and glycerin or adding a basic catalyst and a glycerin derivative into the fatty acid short-chain alcohol ester, so as to implement a conversion from the fatty acid short-chain alcohol ester to the fatty glyceride. Conditions of the preparation method are relatively moderate, and the structure of the fatty acid is not damaged in the reactions; the yield of the glyceride is high, compositions of the glyceride are stable and controllable, glyceride products having a high content of triacylglycerol can be obtained; the process is simple, costs are low, and the fatty glyceride is applicable to industrial production.

The present invention pertains to an efficient and large-scale process to produce a medium-chain triglyceride composition with >95% content for C8 (caprylic acid), C10 (capric acid) and C12 (lauric acid), with the content of lauric acid at about 5% or more. The process involves fractionation of fatty acid methyl esters, which are mainly derived from coconut or palm kernel, their esterification to glycerol to synthesize medium-chain triglycerides, and refining them to significantly increase purity and make them fit for human consumption. Such composition can have important uses in food and its preparation, health supplements, cosmetics, and medicine, among others.
