  • Synthesis of acetylenic compounds useful in preparing dehydrophytols and Vitamin E
    Patent number: 4115466
    Abstract: A process for the synthesis of an acetylenic hydrocarbon from an acetylenic carbinol which involves first replacing the hydroxyl group of the carbinol with a halogen to form a propargylic halide, dehalogenating the propargylic halide to form an allene, and isomerizing said allene to the desired acetylene. The present invention is particularly useful in the synthesis of Vitamin E.

  • Flow process for production of imitation cheese
    Patent number: 4110484
    Abstract: Imitation cheese is manufactured by a flow process from a plurality of edible ingredients comprising fat, protein, water, and flavor wherein the cheese product is set by the addition of an acidulant, in lieu of fermentation. The edible ingredients are introduced into an elongated, confined mixing zone in such a way that the acidulant and protein are in distinct and separate flow streams until in said zone, and in the zone are subjected, at a temperature of at least about 100.degree. F, to medium-to-high intensity axial and radial flow mixing. The mixing is continued until a substantially homogeneous mixture is obtained.

  • Process for obtaining free fatty acids from soap stock
    Patent number: 4100181
    Abstract: Substantial benefits and economies are realized in a process for obtaining free fatty acids from soap stock by first acidulating the soap stock to liberate fatty acids from the soap present, separating the resulting first acid oil and aqueous saline phases, recovering free fatty acids by vacuum distillation from this first acid oil phase, saponifyng the glyceride-rich still residue to generate additional soap, acidulating the saponified product to liberate additional fatty acids therefrom and separating the resulting second acid oil and aqueous saline phases. These additional fatty acids can be recovered as free acids by vacuum distillation from the separated second acid oil phase. It is sometimes advantageous to neutralize residual mineral acid in the first acid oil phase before distillation.

  • Synthesis of Vitamin A, intermediates and conversion thereof to Vitamin A
    Patent number: 4092366
    Abstract: A synthesis of novel Vitamin A intermediates from betaionone is described as well as a conversion of the intermediates to Vitamin A. The length of the conjugated aliphatic side chain of beta-ionone is increased while still ultimately obtaining the desired trans form of Vitamin A. In general, beta-ionone is ethynylated to ethynyl-beta-ionol, the hydroxyl of which is etherified to form an ethynyl-terminated, alkoxy-substituted, beta-ionol intermediate. The intermediate is coupled through its copper derivative with a compound like chloro-isopentenyl acetate to produce a C.sub.20 skeleton. By semi-hydrogenation, the acetylenic bond on the C.sub.20 skeleton is converted to an ethylenic bond, and by hydrolysis the terminal ester moiety is converted to a hydroxyl group. Treatment with a strong base removes the alkoxy group to produce Vitamin A.
