Publication number: 20200172503Abstract: Embodiments of a method of purifying tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from a composition containing THC and at least one impurity, e.g., from pesticides, waxes, lipids, pigments, and other cannabinoids, can use a continuous simulated moving bed process, a batch column chromatography method, or a single column, and a combination of one or more of a sequence of purification steps including: filtration, decolorization, activation or decarboxylation, dewaxing, polishing, and crystallization to separate a cannabinoid from the cannabis plant and to provide various cannabinoid products. The THC products can be used in various pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2019Publication date: June 4, 2020Applicant: Orochem Technologies Inc.Inventors: Anil OROSKAR, Kunal GULATI, David HOUSE, Asha OROSKAR, Gautham OROSKAR

Patent number: 9650590Abstract: Disclosed is a chromatographic process complex for the refining of krill oil extract including desalting, removal of impurities such as trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), and the production of krill oil products including desalted krill oil extract, polar lipid products having polar lipid contents greater than 50 wt-% on a dry or solvent free basis, neutral lipid streams for biodiesel production and astaxanthin. The refinery includes a continuous desalting zone, a fixed bed polar lipid extraction zone to adsorb neutral lipids and astaxanthin to provide a polar lipid extract stream comprising solvent and polar lipids and being essentially free of neutral lipids and astaxanthin, and an astaxanthin separation zone to recover essentially pure astaxanthin and provide a neutral lipid stream. The enriched products of the krill oil refinery are essentially free of TMAO and salt and provide products which can be used as dietary supplements and as medicinal additives.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2016Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: OROCHEM Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Anil R.
