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.

An oil or fat for tempering type chocolate capable of enhancing and maintaining original flavors (milk taste, sweet taste, and cacao flavor, etc.) of chocolate is described, being obtained by blending therein 0.3 to 15% of a randomly transesterified oil of which a raw material is an oil or fat having a content of saturated fatty acids of 5 to 50% in the constituent fatty acids thereof and by further containing 5 to 50 ppm of malonyl isoflavone glycoside. A chocolate in which the oil or fat is blended is also described.

A process for extraction of crude oil from distillers dried grain solubles and/or distillers dried grains using a solvent extraction process and producing corn distillers meal that may be used as an animal feed supplement is disclosed. The corn distillers meal may be used as a crude protein supplement for use in a livestock feed diet, poultry feed diet, aquatic feed diet or the like. The solvent extracted crude oil may be suitable for other processes, including 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.

Processes for transesterifying wax esters. Implementations may include: providing a feedstock including wax esters, contacting the feedstock with a lipase, and catalytically transesterifying the wax esters in the feedstock with the lipase to form a transesterified product. An oxidative stability index (OSI) of the transesterified product may be greater than an OSI of the feedstock.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing: transesterified oil which has reduced saturated fatty acids and transfat contents, and which provides good properties when used as hard stock for a plastic oil/fat composition; and a plastic oil/fat composition using the transesterified oil/fat. The present invention provides a non-selective transesterified oil/fat in which contents of saturated fatty acid, saturated fatty acid having 12 carbons, and unsaturated fatty acid in the constituent fatty acids are adjusted.
