Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing compositions of high concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids from krill. Furthermore, the invention relates to a composition comprising high concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids, and a lipid fraction from krill comprising high amounts of fatty acids with chain length C14 and C16.
Abstract:
A method for separating neutral and polar lipids from an oil of biological material, wherein the oil is fractionated using a mixture of a polar solvent comprising at least one carbon atom, water and an additional substance selected from the group consisting of: mono-, di- and oligosaccharides comprising from 3 to 10 monosaccharide units, said additional substance is present in an amount of at least 0.1 wt % calculated on the total weight of solvent, water and additional substance, to form at least two liquid fractions having different densities, wherein one fraction is rich in polar lipids and another fraction is rich in neutral lipids. An oil rich in polar lipids obtained from the method is disclosed, said oil I contains at least 40, preferably at least 50 lipid % polar lipids as calculated on the total amount of lipids in said oil and that the total amount of polar solvent and water in said oil is between 20 and 30 wt %. An oat oil containing high amounts of estolides of DGDG can further be obtained.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a cation-exchanged clay mineral comprising a swelling clay mineral with the cations between layers substantially replaced by low-valence metal amine complexes and/or low-valence metal ammine complexes, and a packing material for chromatography using the same. Use of the packing material provides a sharp peak with respect to a highly unsaturated compound. Since the packing material is unlikely to be influenced by a solvent, it is usable for a long time with good stability.
Abstract:
The present disclosure discloses a method for accurately separating and identifying an oxidized triglyceride in frying oil, and belongs to the technical field of detection. In the present disclosure, the structure of the oxidized triglyceride (ox-TG) in the frying oil is identified by mass spectrometry first. It is found that after frying is conducted for 24 h, the ox-TG mainly includes epoxy ox-TG, hydroxyl ox-TG, and aldehyde ox-TG. Thus, the three types of ox-TG are selected as a template molecule to synthesize a surface molecularly imprinted polymer (SMIPs). Then, a polymer completely matched with the ox-TG template molecule in action site and spatial configuration is synthesized, and the specific ox-TG can be separated by using the SMIPs. According to the present disclosure, OXTG-SMIPs prepared by a molecular imprinting technology has good specificity, stability, and affinity, and accurate separation of the ox-TG in the frying oil can be achieved.
Abstract:
The present invention patent application belongs to the field of mechanical engineering and consists of a system and process for palm oil extraction integrally configured for processing the entire fresh fruit (rachis, spikes and seeds or fruits) by stages of cracking, threshing, dynamic sterilization and subsequent pressing. Said disclosed system and process allow increasing the percentage of oil extraction with less equipment and a smaller workspace compared to that required by the already known conventional processes, as well as using smaller amounts of water and energy. Additionally, the disclosed system and process allow obtaining sterilized plant material with low humidity, which may be used as organic matter for composting or as fuel of the extraction system itself.
