Disclosed are compositions and methods relating to lecithin obtained from high-oleic soybeans. The high-oleic lecithin imparts improved characteristics to a product when compared to lecithin obtained from commodity soybeans. Examples of improved characteristics may include one or more of increased effective release, increased oxidative stability, increased OSI induction time, increased shelf life, increased smoke point, and a reduction in the increase in viscosity induced by oxidation or heat.

A method for preparation of a composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion includes providing caramel, one or more phenolic compounds, vegetable oil and vinegar. The caramel is prepared from one or more monosaccharides and/or one or more disaccharides and water, and heated for a time period. The method includes mixing the caramel with one or more phenolic compounds with vegetable oil.

The present invention provides a method for the simultaneous enhancement in biomass and lipids containing omega-3-fatty acids of Thraustochytrid microalgae in a single step using synergistic effect of chemical mixture in appropriate proportion in production medium. The process discloses enriching the biomass of microalgae with high value lipids by subjecting the microalgal cells in growth medium supplemented with unique combination of chemical modulators and carbon substrates in the presence of nitrogen. The present invention also provides a novel strain Schizochytrium sp. (MTCC 5980) for use in continuous aerobic fermentative lipid production process for enhancing high value lipids like Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), Docasapentaenoic acid (DPA), Eicosapentaenic acid (EPA) and lipids for biodiesel.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture that feature omega-3 fatty acids co-processed with flavonoid and lipophilic antioxidants for improved stability.

Disclosed herein are an extract emulsified oil comprising an antioxidant, in which lecithin and an edible oil are mixed with a molasses extract, an extract of raw sugar-ion resin reclaimed water or an olive leaf extract, a cooking oil containing the same, and a preparation method therefor. According to the present invention, an emulsified oil capable of extending a replacement cycle of a cooking oil by controlling the coloration of the cooking oil upon heating and maintaining a quality of fried food, that is, capable of having excellent thermal stability of undesirable color, and a cooking oil containing the same may be prepared.

The invention provides a composition comprising a glyceride composition comprising at least about 15% by weight of a glyceride comprising a palmitoyl group at the 2-position, wherein at least 30% by weight of the total palmitic acid content of the composition is present at the 2-position in a glyceride, wherein the composition comprises one or more tocopherols and ascorbyl palmitate in a total amount of up to about 1% by weight, and wherein the composition does not comprise added lecithin.

A method for preserving cooking oil comprises contacting the oil with oil-permeable cementitious material in the form of either stand-alone blocks, pellets, granules, or balls and which has been hydraulically hardened from a paste comprising (a) >50 wt % of (i) white OPC clinker, (ii) white OPC or (iii) a mixture of white OPC clinker and white OPC, and (b) optionally further ingredients selected from silica, titania, lime, calcium sulphate, hydrated alumina, natural feldspars, diatomaceous earth, Na and Ca forms of natural and synthetic zeolites, clays, pillared clays, activated clays/earths, silicate minerals selected from calcium silicate, magnesium silicate, aluminium silicate, agalmatolite, amphiboles, attapulgite, granite porphyry, kaolinite, porphyry, rhyolite, talc and wollastonite, wherein the porosity of the cementious material is 30-55%. The treatment of the cooking oil takes place in a location separate from the frying chamber.

A substantially oil- and fat-free single phase, homogenous antioxidant formulation that is readily dispersible in lipid matrices at ambient temperature by gentle stirring. The formulation includes a phenolic antioxidant compound, a liquid carrier, preferably a metal chelator, an emulsifier, and a polarity modifier. In preferred embodiment, a combination of lipid-soluble and water-soluble antioxidant compounds is included to provide an improved antioxidant effect.
