Abstract: A process of recovering oil, comprising (a) converting a starch-containing material into dextrins with an alpha-amylase; (b) saccharifying the dextrins using a carbohydrate source generating enzyme to form a sugar; (c) fermenting the sugar in a fermentation medium into a fermentation product using a fermenting organism; (d) recovering the fermentation product to form a whole stillage; (e) separating the whole stillage into thin stillage and wet cake; (e?) optionally concentrating the thin stillage into syrup; (f) recovering oil from the thin stillage and/or optionally the syrup, wherein a phospholipase is present and/or added during steps (a) to (c). Use of phospholipase for increasing oil recovery yields from thin stillage and/or syrup in a fermentation product production process.

Abstract: A method for analyzing a virtual object in a virtual environment includes obtaining an image of a first real-world object and transmitting, to a data processing system, the image of the first real-world object. The method includes creating a digital representation of the first real-world object and assigning local attributes to one or more portions of the digital representation corresponding to elements of the first real-world object. The method includes obtaining an image of an updated configuration of the first real-world object and transmitting, to the data processing system, the image of the updated configuration. The method includes creating, by the data processing system, a digital representation, of the updated configuration. The method includes comparing, by the data processing system, the digital representation of the first real-world object and the digital representation of the updated first real-world object to identify rearranged parts and assign local attributes.
