  • Publication number: 20070124991
    Abstract: Methods for recovery of concentrates of lubricating compounds from vegetable and animal oils, fats and greases that allow separation of triglycerides, from components with higher lubricity or enrichment protocols that increase the concentration of high lubricity compounds in the triglyceride. The triglycerides are transesterified with a lower alcohol to produce alkyl esters. Following the conversion process the esters are separated from high molecular weight high lubricity compounds by distillation. The esters have some lubricity and may be sold as pollution reducing fuel components. The high boiling point compounds that are the residues of distillation, however, can contribute significant lubricity and may be used widely in lubricant applications or added to petroleum fuels to decrease friction.

  • Publication number: 20070124992
    Abstract: Methods for recovery of concentrates of lubricating compounds and biologically active compounds from vegetable and animal oils, fats and greases that allow separation of triglycerides, from components with higher lubricity or biological activity or enrichment protocols that increase the concentration of high lubricity or biologically active compounds in the triglyceride. The triglycerides are transesterified with a lower alcohol to produce alkyl esters. Following the conversion process the esters are separated from high molecular weight high lubricity compounds and biologically active compounds by distillation. The esters have some lubricity and may be sold as pollution reducing fuel components.

  • Publication number: 20070049763
    Abstract: Methods for preparation of a unique superbase catalyst consisting of mixture of polyether alcohol and base in which a polyether alcohol superbase is produced by the removal of water or alcohol at elevated temperatures to form a polyether alcohol alkoxide. The superbase catalyst is useful in, but not limited to, quantitative isomerization of alkyl esters of vegetable oils containing interrupted double bond systems to yield esters with conjugated double bond systems.

  • Publication number: 20050249860
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a functional fiber flour product for use in foods, beverages, nutritional products and dietary supplements. The invention includes a functional fiber flour product made from oilseeds and comprises soluble and insoluble dietary fibers, polyunsaturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, protein, lignans, and low amounts of digestible carbohydrates and saturated fat. Properties of the present invention are useful in enhancing mixing, sheeting, extrusion, baking, frying and roasting characteristics of human food and beverage products and animal feed products without adversely affecting palatability or appearance attributes; properties also include considerable extended shelf life compared to prior art functional fiber products. The present invention also includes a process for making the functional fiber flour product using high pressure and high temperature mixing and extrusion equipment.
