A liquid extractor may include an extraction chamber containing a bed deck configured to support a solid material as the solid material is conveyed through the extraction chamber. To introduce solvent into the solid material being processed, the extractor may include a solvent injection orifice extending through the bed deck and a solvent injector. The solvent injector can receive solvent from a source and cause the solvent to rotate within the solvent injector before discharging the solvent through an outlet in fluid communication with the solvent injection orifice. The rotational flow motion imparted by the injector can create a vortex that functions to scout out any particles that may be present in the injector.

The method of producing a lipid composition comprises an extraction treatment step to extract a lipid comprised in a hydrated raw material by using an extraction solvent comprising a polar solvent and a nonpolar solvent, and a separation treatment step to separate an extract solution obtained in the extraction treatment step into a polar solvent phase comprising a first lipid fraction and a nonpolar solvent phase comprising a second lipid fraction.

The invention relates to a method for producing an oil rich fraction (OF) from primary feedstock (FS) that comprises water, first salt, second salt, and biomass. The feedstock (FS) is provided to a first reaction zone (Z1) of a conversion reactor (100), where it is allowed to react at a temperature of at least 350° C. in a pressure of at least 160 bar to form converted primary feedstock. The method comprises separating from the converted primary feedstock a first salt rich fraction (SF1), a second salt rich fraction (SF2), and an oil rich fraction (OF). The method comprises withdrawing the oil rich fraction (OF) from the first reaction zone (Z1) and withdrawing the first salt rich fraction (SF1) and the second salt rich fraction (SF2) from the conversion reactor (100). In the method the first salt rich fraction (SF1) comprises at least some of the first salt dissolved in the water, the second salt rich fraction (SF2) comprises at least some of the second salt in solid form, and at least one of the first salt and the second salt is a salt capable of catalysing the reaction of the biomass of the primary feedstock (FS) with the water of the primary feedstock (FS) to produce the oil rich fraction (OF). A device for the same.

The invention relates to a process for preparing an isolated oleosome composition with improved taste and the process is comprising the steps of subjecting an oleosome source to a roasting step and obtaining a roasted oleosome source, and subsequently isolating oleosomes from the roasted oleosome source, and obtaining the isolated oleosome composition. The invention also relates to an isolated oleosome composition obtainable by the process. The invention further relates to food and feed products, pharmaceutical products, personal care products, nutritional compositions and industrial products comprising the isolated oleosome composition. Finally, the invention relates to the use of a roasted oleosome source to improve taste and/or flavor of an isolated oleosome composition.

Described herein is a method of remediating a water source of a target aquatic life. The method comprises collecting at least one target species of aquatic life from a water source, separating an oil from the solids of the target aquatic life, and refining a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) mixture from the oil. The water source is at least partially remediated by collecting the at least one target species of aquatic life from the water source.

The present invention provides a method for improving oil yield from germ in a wet milling process, the method comprising admixing a process stream comprising corn germ with an enzyme composition comprising an effective amount of one or more hydrolytic enzymes, wherein at least one of said hydrolytic enzymes is a xylanase polypeptide selected from the group consisting of: GH5, GH10, GH30, GH11 polypeptides.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a novel oil-and-fat composition usable as an oil-and-fat sensation imparting material that can impart an oil-and-fat sensation to food and drink at a more natural and moderate intensity or can enhance or improve the oil-and-fat feeling in food and drink, and that can further enhance the flavor or texture that can be sensed in the oral cavity, such as a richness of taste, depth of taste, voluminous feeling, and feeling on the tongue; and a novel manufacturing method therefor. The present invention pertains to an oil-and-fat composition that has a moisture content of less than 1.0 mass % and that includes: component A that is three types of free fatty acids comprising free palmitic acid, free oleic acid, and free stearic acid; and component B that is two types of unsaturated aldehydes comprising 2-decenal and 2-octenal, wherein 0.002-0.2 parts by mass of component B is contained with respect to 100 parts by mass of component A, and at least 8.5 mass % of component A is contained with respect to the total mass of the composition.

The current invention relates to a process for in-creasing the yield of an isolated oleosome composition and the process is comprising blending of a processed fiber fraction of an oleosome source with at least one other fraction of an oleosome source. The invention relates to an isolated oleosome composition characterized in that it has a fiber content of from 0.5 to 15%, a particle size of the solids from 2 to 200 micron, and an oil content of 20 to 95% on total dry matter of which at least 60% is present as oleosomes. The invention relates to food and feed products, pharmaceutical products, personal care products, nutritional compositions and industrial products comprising the isolated oleosomes composition. The invention relates to the use of a fiber fraction of an oleosome source to increase the yield of the isolated oleosome composition.
