The present invention relates to a composition comprising vegetable oil, caramel and one or more phenolic compounds. The caramel and one or more phenolic compounds together prevent oxidation of the vegetable oil, such that the amount of EDTA in the composition can be reduced. The caramel has been heated such that it does not impart a dark colour to the composition. The invention also relates to a method to prepare the composition. Finally the invention relates to use of caramel and one or more phenolic compounds to decrease the oxidation of vegetable oil.

The present invention relates to a process for increasing the oxidative stability of short path evaporated oils. The process comprises the step of adding to the short-path evaporated-treated oil at least one anti-oxidant while the short-path evaporated-treated oil has a peroxide value of below or equal to 1.5 milli-equivalent peroxide/kg. The at least one anti-oxidant is preferably added at a temperature above the melting point of the short-path evaporated-treated oil.

The present invention relates to a process for increasing the oxidative stability of short path evaporated oils, by adding to short-path evaporated treated oil at least one other oil. It further relates to a composition comprising short-path evaporated treated palm oil and, at least one other oil. Furthermore, it relates to the food products comprising these oils with improved oxidative stability.

[Object] The present invention provides an oil composition in which oxidation of oil is inhibited and a method of inhibiting oxidation of oil. [Solving Means] Provided is an oil composition containing oil, an ionic surfactant, and a polyhydric alcohol, in which a value L2L1 calculated by the following method is positive. Value L1: a value of lightness of the oil composition Value L2: a value of lightness of an emulsified product obtained by adding 100 mass times of fresh water to the oil composition.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a microbially produced plastic having low coloration, good tone, and low odor, based on a simple, low-cost method that is suitable for industrial production. The method of manufacturing the microbially produced plastic is characterized in that a step (a) and a step (b), described below, are included: step (a) is a step of applying heat treatment to fat containing hydrogen peroxide, and step (b) is a step of culturing microbes in a culturing liquid containing the fat that has been subjected to the heat treatment in the step (a).

The present invention relates to a process for increasing the oxidative stability of short path evaporated oils. The process comprises the step of adding to the short-path evaporated-treated oil at least one anti-oxidant while the short-path evaporated-treated oil has a peroxide value of below or equal to 1.5 milli-equivalent peroxide/kg. The at least one anti-oxidant is preferably added at a temperature above the melting point of the short-path evaporated-treated oil.

The invention provides for methods and foods with reduced or no chelating agents. The present invention also relates to methods for using high stability oils including high-stability high-oleic oils produced using genetically engineered microalgae. The oils can be used in multiple food-related applications including frying, spray-coating, and lubrication of equipment. The oils can also be blended with vegetable oils or interesterified with vegetable oils.

The present invention is directed to seed oil compositions that can be used for cooking and frying applications. These oil compositions of the present invention have advantageous stability characteristics. In some embodiments, the oil compositions have a low concentration of -linolenic acid.

The present invention relates to the field of methods for purifying fatty acid ethyl esters. According to the present invention, a method for obtaining a ?3 fatty acid ethyl ester, such as EPA and DHA, each as a high purity product at a high yield is provided. In the method according to the present invention, a raw material fat including EPA and DHA is treated with a lipolytic enzyme and ethyl-esterification is performed as needed; the treated substance is fractionated into a glyceride fraction and a free fatty acid fraction; a fraction comprising more EPA ester and a fraction comprising DHA ester are obtained from the respective fractions; the fraction comprising more EPA ester is purified to prepare a high-purity EPA ester; and the fraction comprising more DHA ester is purified to prepare a high-purity DHA ester.

Lipid composition comprising unsaturated lipids such as omega 3 and omega 6, antioxidants and phyllosilicate particles, wherein the phyllosilicate particles are clusters of sheets, wherein said antioxidants comprise water-soluble antioxidants dissolved in the water adsorbed in the phyllosilicate sheets and wherein the phyllosilicate sheets are dispersed in the composition by an amphiphilic dispersant adsorbed on the surface of the phyllosilicate particles.
