Abstract: A substantially toxic-free feed is obtained by maintaining the oil-bearing materials in acid reagents for about 5 minutes to hydrolyze glucosinolates to carbon dioxide and ammonia. The ammonia and carbon dioxide are subsequently stripped therefrom.

Abstract: A process for extracting oil from oil-bearing materials, such as vegetable oil bearing seeds and plant materials, is disclosed. The process comprises adding crude oil, water and a reagent to the oil-bearing materials to form a slurry. Subsequently, a resultant oil is extracted from the slurry. The process provides for treating the oil-bearing materials in a screw extruder. In addition, the process teaches sparging the slurry with steam to remove impurities contained therein.A substantially toxic-free feed is obtained by maintaining the oil-bearing materials in acid reagents for about 5 minutes to hydrolyze glucosinolates to carbon dioxide and ammonia. The ammonia and carbon dioxide are subsequently stripped therefrom.

Abstract: A vegetable oil process and assembly is disclosed for extracting oil from an oil bearing material such as soybean, corn and the like. The process comprises adding at least one reagent and an oil of preferably the same type as will be extracted from the oil bearing material to the oil bearing material to form a slurry mixture. The slurry is heated at a preselected temperature for a preselected period of time preferably under a partial vacuum. This processing reduces the phospholipid and trace metal content in the oil extracted from the oil bearing material. The oil product produced is light in color, shows no turbidity and exhibits a minimal amount of phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and iron. The oil is ready for physical refining.
