Abstract: A process for the removal of sterols, specifically cholesterol, from a triglyceride oil, preferably a marine triglyceride oil, said process comprising contacting an oil with an absorbent, specifically TRIS YL™, clay or a mixture thereof, heating the mixture to 100° C. to 210° C., preferably 150° C. to 170° C., preferably for a time period of greater than one minute and optionally at a pressure less than 133 Pa, preferably less than 1.33 Pa.

Abstract: Disclosed are microcapsules with shells that are not animal by-products and methods for preparing and using such microcapsules.

Abstract: Single-core and multi-core microcapsules are provided, having multiple shells, at least one of which is formed of a complex coacervate of two components of shell materials. The complex coacervate may be the same or different for each shell. Also provided are methods for making the microcapsules.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter, in one aspect, relates to compounds and compositions {e.g., polysaccharides and polysaccharide complexes) and methods for providing and using such compounds and compositions. Disclosed are compositions comprising a polysaccharide or polysaccharide complex obtained from Chlorella, wherein the polysaccharide or polysaccharide complex has a molecular weight of from about 1×103 to about 1×106 Da. Also disclosed are methods of providing a polysaccharide or polysaccharide complex, comprising the steps of providing a Chlorella extract, contacting the extract with a solvent to provide a precipitate, contacting the precipitate with additional substances {e.g., a surfactant) and isolating an insoluble fraction, and size fractioning the insoluble fraction, thereby providing the polysaccharide or polysaccharide complex. Disclosed are also methods for using the disclosed polysaccharide and polysaccharide compositions.

Abstract: A process for the removal of sterols, specifically cholesterol, from a triglyceride oil, preferably a marine triglyceride oil, said process comprising contacting an oil with an absorbent, specifically TRIS YL™, clay or a mixture thereof, heating the mixture to 100° C. to 210° C., preferably 150° C. to 170° C., preferably for a time period of greater than one minute and optionally at a pressure less than 1.33 Pa, preferably less than 1.33 Pa.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of removing and/or reducing compounds from oils (e.g., marine oils) and oils prepared by the disclosed methods. Methods of bleaching oils are also disclosed.

Abstract: Microcapsules comprising an agglomeration of primary microcapsules, each individual primary microcapsule having a primary shell and the agglomeration being encapsulated by an outer shell, may be prepared by providing an aqueous mixture of a loading substance and a shell material, adjusting pH, temperature, concentration and/or mixing speed to form primary shells of shell material around the loading substance and cooling the aqueous mixture until the primary shells agglomerate and an outer shell of shell material forms around the agglomeration. Such microcapsules are useful for storing a substance and for delivering the substance to a desired environment.
