Abstract: A method and apparatus for desolventizing residual solids after the oil or fat is extracted therefrom, wherein oil-bearing vegetable or fatty animal material has its oil or fat extracted by an extraction solvent to form an oil or fat solvent mixture, referred to as a "miscella," and extraction solvent impregnated residual solids. The oil or fat is separated from the miscella by heat and vacuum produced by ejector steam, which ejector steam acquires extraction solvent vapor as a result thereof. The solvent-vapor laden waste ejector steam, in conjunction with additional steam from a boiler system, is applied directly to the extraction solvent impregnated residual solids. The combined solvent-vapor laden waste ejector steam and boiler steam evaporate the extraction solvent from the impregnated residual solids and desolventize them to render them fit for consumption or other industrial processes.

Abstract: Proteins lacking isoelectric points are precipitated out of solution by combining with the solution a protein (i.e. one or more proteins) having an isoelectric point, alkalizing the mixture to a pH of about 9-11, acidifying the mixture to a pH of about 2-4, and adjusting the pH of the mixture to the isoelectric point of the protein to precipitate novel protein complexes.A novel protein-free, undenatured dairy whey valuable for lactose crystallization and alcohol production is also obtainable.

Abstract: An improvement in a process for the treatment of proteinaceous material, wherein the proteinaceous material is admixed with a hydrocarbon solvent for any oil in the proteinaceous material and at least a fraction of the proteinaceous material is separated from the solvent and treated for removal of residual solvent, is disclosed. The improvement is characterized by (a) maintaining the temperature of the admixture of proteinaceous material and solvent in the range 0.degree.-35.degree. C., and (b) controlling the period of the time of contact of solvent and proteinaceous material and the period of the time of treatment for removal of residual solvent, whereby separation of a product having a level of residual solvent of less than 60 ppm may be effected. The proteinaceous material may be comminuted soya beans or rapeseed. Products having low residual solvent may be obtained. Such products may be used in the food industry.

Abstract: A substantially undenatured protein isolate is formed from certain legumes and oil seeds, typically rapeseed (canola), by extracting protein from the source material with water and then diluting the resulting protein solution with more water. The dilution forms a dispersion of protein aggregates which are settled from the dispersion.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and allergy (hypersensitivity of immediate type). The apparatus ulitizes an absorption system to absorb interferon from whole blood, from plasma, or from plasma with leukocytes. When plasma or plasma with leukocytes is to be treated, the apparatus includes a separator for separating the plasma or plasma with keukocytes from the whole blood. Preferably, the separator also separates lymphocytes from the whole blood. Blood from a patient's circulation system is pumped either directly to an absorbent system or to the separator and then to the absorbent system. The absorbent system includes a sorbent that is designed to selectively absorb interferon from the blood, the plasma, or the plasma with leukocytes. Alternatively, the absorbent system utilizes a combined sorbent having a first component that absorbs interferon and a second component that abosrbs or removes antoantibodies.

Abstract: The passage of human urine through a bed of adsorbent material results in the adsorption from the urine of antineoplastic substances as determined by in vitro tissue culture techniques utilizing human tumor cells. The adsorbent yields two antineoplastic fractions upon sequential elution. Elution of the low-molecular weight antineoplastic fraction is accomplished by elution with cold aqueous acetone at slightly alkaline pH. Thereafter, elution of the high molecular weight antineoplastic fraction is accomplished by elution with a cold aqueous acetone-glycerol mixture at slightly alkaline pH.The antineoplastic activities of these fractions are determined by tissue culture techniques employing a variety of human neoplastic cells. Furthermore, the high molecular weight fraction, the antineoplastic urinary protein, also inhibits the progression and causes regression of certain human tumor cells implanted in the nude mouse.
