  • Publication number: 20130165393
    Abstract: A new method for krill meal production has been developed using a two step cooking process. In the first step the proteins and phospholipids are removed from the krill and precipitated as a coagulum. In the second stage the krill without phospholipids are cooked. Following this, residual fat and astaxanthin are removed from the krill using mechanical separation methods. A novel krill meal product with superior nutritional and technical properties is prepared.

  • Patent number: 8207225
    Abstract: Novel compositions containing conjugated linoleic acids are efficacious as animal feed additives and human dietary supplements. Linoleic acid is converted to its conjugated forms in which the resulting composition is low in certain unusual isomers compared to conventional conjugated linoleic products. In addition, the inventions provides compositions that are prepared according to a novel method that controls oxidation of CLA into volatile organic compounds as well as containing metal oxidant chelators to control oxidation during storage.

  • Patent number: 7947737
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of treating hypertension and reducing serum lipase activity by dietary supplementation with conjugated linoleic acid. The method comprises administering a safe and effective amount of conjugated linoleic acid to a human. The conjugated linoleic acid may be provided in the form of a free fatty acid or chemical derivatives thereof in a pill, or as a component of a prepared food product.

  • Patent number: 7776353
    Abstract: The present invention relates the manufacture of conjugated linoleic acid, and in particular, to feeds and food products containing conjugated linoleic acid. Accordingly, processes for producing conjugated linoleic acid of high purity are disclosed. These processes utilize alcoholate catalysts and esters of sunflower oil, safflower oil, or corn oil as the source of linoleic acid. The esters of conjugated linoleic acid produced by the process can be used in animal feeds and in food products suitable for human consumption. Furthermore, the esters can be converted into free fatty acids or incorporated into triglycerides.

  • Publication number: 20100139147
    Abstract: A method and an arrangement for trawling wherein trawl are bags positioned one above the other and towed by a single trawl vessel is disclosed. The bag(s) are continuously emptied of caught seafood/biomass via an injector assisted suction hose connected to a bottom end of the bag(s), and leading to the trawler vessel. In the case of two trawl bags, one above the other, the uppermost trawl bag is along the upper trawl opening portion equipped with a plurality of buoyancy bodies, and the lower trawl bag's lower trawl opening portion, at the outer ends, is equipped with weights or sinkers. Spreading of trawl opening(s) is effected either by otter boards, or a spreading member linked to the trawl opening portions. Tension lines pass from the outer ends of the upper trawl opening portion to the outermost positioned joining points for the trawl bags, and to the weights or sinkers.

  • Publication number: 20080274203
    Abstract: This invention discloses new krill oil compositions characterized by having high amounts of phospholipids, astaxanthin esters and/or omega-3 contents. The krill oils are obtained from krill meal using supercritical fluid extraction in a two stage process. Stage 1 removes the neutral lipid by extracting with neat supercritical CO2 or CO2 plus approximately 5% of a co-solvent. Stage 2 extracts the actual krill oils by using supercritical CO2 in combination with approximately 20% ethanol. The krill oil materials obtained are compared with commercially available krill oil and found to be more bioeffective in a number of areas such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidant effects, improving insulin resistances and improving blood lipid profile.
